I don't.

I do believe in evolition and that in the past, societies and civilisations who were more focused due to a belief structure making their subjects work towards an "afterlife" had an evolutionary edge over others who didn't.

And that's it in a nutshell.

No....................

Big G god (i.e. christian god) or small g god (i.e. non specified deity)?

07-09-2004, 13:44

I do.

I don`t go to church but I still believe.

God, higher power, the spirit, I believe there is something.

I'm not sure at the moment. If you'd asked me a couple of years ago then it would've been a definate yes. Now I'm leaning towards No.

wrt all religions: At the moment I'm pondering self-indoctrination
wrt Christianity: 'having a personal relationship with God'

monotheistic god:

if god is all powerful can he make a stone so heavy that he cannot lift it?

if he can, then he is not all powerful

if he cannot then he is not all powerful

if he is not all powerful, should we consider him to be a god? or merely a master?

by what provenance does he derive his authority as king of kings?

If there is a god he is obviously something of a bugger, so if I did believe in him I wouldn't choose to worship him.

I don't believe in God in the traditional sense. I like to think there's a spiritual existance that's around me - forces of nature and the elements. I think if God existed, mankind would seek to find a way to destroy it.

I like the expression that Dave Allen the comedian uses: 'May your God go with you'.

If your a Wednesday fan I can well understand why

Personally I don't believe in God. Although.. There must be somebody up there giving me some good fortune that I have had in the last couple of years..

Lickable · 07-09-2004, 15:28

Not until i meet him/her/it.

mimicraze · 07-09-2004, 15:43

I believe in God, and I do go to church

A.B.Yaffle · 07-09-2004, 16:11

I believe in God, although I haven't been to church for a while!

saxon51 · 07-09-2004, 16:34

No, definately not. I do however respect the beliefs of other people.

Can't understand people thanking Him/Her for sparing them during disasters, instead of giving Him/Her a gob full for CAUSING the disaster.

If there is a God, he must be a sick bugger!

Cyclone · 07-09-2004, 16:37

no, there is no evidence to suggest a deities existance. And i don't need to provide evidence for the none existance of something (for a start it's impossible and secondly, has anyone ever proved fairies don't exist? If not, does that mean you believe in them?)

JoeP · 07-09-2004, 18:31

Yes, believe in God, don't regularly attend church but do have a broadly Christian set of spiritual beliefs.
