Does anyone believe in God?

[not_a_robot]

It's an argument for having a place for people in need when there is no other place to turn to. feels like modern church to me, honestly.

No, no pedos tolerated here. No blatant profit motive. Nothing like a church.

 

[Pistolero114]

Define God?

 

[Emily123]

No . But if there is god , he does not want me to be alive . Series of events are leading me to death and nothing can stop it . It is what exactly happened to me .
1-A Thai sergeon destroyed my face in the face feminizing surgery(I am a transgender) . I paid 42K to him for this mess
2- A seller did not let me use lady's fitting room just 2 weeks after I got back from Thailand
3-I was not accepted in my workplace anymore . People started treating me as animal
4-I had my next surgery with that surgeon . He aslo destroyed my gentile . I was in a deathly pain for 5 months.
5- My contract as a consultant was not renewed . Their excuse was "The quality of my job was not acceptable" . I could not beielive it . I was a super star in my job before and I am getting from a low level governement job
6-My employeer tried to sell me to another departments but none of them accepted me because of my appearance
7-Thexy were treating me as animal and they hoped that I rsigned myself .
8-I made an appointment with only the doctor who could fix botched surgeries like this I need to save and pay whatever that I had to do that surgery
9- I was fired with a fake case from my job
10-Nobody hired me even as a sex worker
11-I had to cancel my surgery becaue I could not make the payment
12-Accidently I found another job as a software developer .
13-I asked that surgeon to give me another appointment . He rejected me . He told me to go to other surgeons
14-Other surgeons told me that the previous surgeon destroyed my frontal sinus and orbital rims and chin and nose bones . Foreehead is not fixable
13 - I want death more than anything now

No i dont believe in God infact i dont believe in the human race much any more. It seem people will walk over one and other just get sum thing s little better. Treat them like dirt and thinking they better than any one else. And as for people walking around with their head stuck in there phone completely oblivious to any one else . Even they kids o and when kids start to play up they just stick a phone in they hands . Soon at this rate we will not be able to interact with one another. I am glad I soon be gone the mess we heading for is beyond biblical human race dead by phones and selfies LOL want a joke is this what thousands of years of evolution came to HAHA ee DOOMED LOL LOL LOL :D

I believe in baruch espinoza god. It's like the most scientific/humanistic god in my point of view

‍huh?

‍huh?

Just search about his theory, for me is mo most razonable gos according to our humanity condition

 

[DownInaHole]

If there is a God, She has not done a damn thing for me. I would prefer not to have been awakened into life. She owes me one.

 

[Feline Fine]

I don't believe in a god or religion, but I'm more than open to the possibility that we are likely one of many planes of existence, though I think I might have an understanding of that phrase different to how most use it.
I mean it as in the likelihood of us being in some sort of simulation, possibly just by chance, possibly purposefully by something 'above' us. But I don't think I would owe any creator anything, I'm not going to give my loyalty or worship to anything that could create a world like this. And they would have equally as much chance of being what we would be to them to whatever could be above them, and so on. So I don't think it's possible for there to be a god, for me at least. If all that were true they might be a god to some, but to me they'd be down in the dirt with us, all our failures are theirs.
I am afraid of what could come after death, though I'm not convinced that fear comes from a place that makes sense considering my beliefs.

Though I also believe that the universe either only goes through one possibility or every single one, so whatever is true, I'm only along for the ride and have no real part in how it goes. If dying is the only option I have, I'll just have to wait and see what happens after.

Have you thought about sueing him?

 

[Empty Smile]

I don't. Just to much going on in this world to believe it.

But I'll make a deal with everyone here... I'll take one for the team and go find out if he really does exist.

 

[Going Home]

I'm beginning to doubt again. Surely my prayers are just going out into the universe. My belief in a just God is diminishing

If there is a God, I don't see why we should think he has any moral code.

 

[Dawn0071111]

Yes.

 

[Pistolero114]

Not trying to troll or antagonize; but can you define God for me according to your (if any) beliefs? Am seriously interested because this has be a "bone of contention" as my mother used to put it. Seriously

 

[Tortured_empath]

I wish I did...

 

[peacefully31425]

I used to when I was little. It wasn't until I was exposed to atheism while in highschool that I started to question my beliefs, like many others in my generation. I'd say that I am agnostic now.

 

[Beautifulletdown]

I use to believe in God but don't anymore. If there was a God, why would he make me suffer as I do. Honestly, I am not sure if there is anything higher than us. I figured probably won't make it to heaven anyway. My father told me to go to hell recently so think that's where I'm headed.

 

[MG_39]

God didn't create humans, humans created God. Why? because life is so much easier if the short often painful life on earth is just the beginning of an eternity where you will feel happy, instead of just living a short life, which i best case is partly enjoyable and after that you cease to exist.

But I might be wrong, and there is a God and afterlife. No one knows.

It's hard to understand how something came from nothing though.

Usually: a non-corporeal consciousness with as much power and knowledge as is possible; morally perfect, eternal, creator of everything, cannot not exist, partless, unique.

All that is has always been. Universe is eternal. No need to pitch God as eternal. Doesn't do any explanatory work.

Humans created gods to explain thunder, earthquakes, fertility, etc. I.e. Gods were made up to explain what science now explains. Those who still believe are mostly functionally illiterate.

But something had to have made up the first thing that created the universe. How did it just exist out of nowhere?

 

[Avicii]

I admit no to God but the other day I did try to have a read of the Bible in my 40 odd years of being raised a Catholic and like a good unabused Catholic boy saying my prayers every night till one night aged 12 and somebit that wait there God doesent exist else he'd have given my Nan and Grandpa a few more years to enjoy their grandkids and fast forward twenty years later he wouldn't have killed my mums sisters off in quick succession leaving her with only her bro ... but yes back to that bit about reading the Bible have you ever tried ?? It wasith all thisith a totally differith languageath to anythingith spokenith todayith just absolute garbage and that was page 1

 

[Shamana]

No i dont believe in god. Im buddhist.

 

[Kyrok]

Then if God was the "first thing" who made God?

Consider this, matter just sits there. It just exists. It changes form, but in whatever form, matter just is. Matter existed billions of years ago and will exist for billions of years into the future. Matter just is.

OT = 4000 year old campfire tales.
NT = oral record of Gospels 30-70 years after events + various letters.

Modern readers have no clue about its messy origins. The "Bible" took thousands of years and numerous different versions of books to settle into the current form.

Thermodynamics is based on a very similar hypothesis. That all the energy that ever was still exists; it just changes form.

 

[Saga]

if there was a god...or some other beings...he/she/it is a total assfucker..

 

[Going Home]

I'm trying to increase my faith in a higher power.

 

[Irishsteve88]

Yes due to being a recovering alcoholic my life resolves around God. God shines down on me and will take me when my time comes hopefully soon.

 

[dramaqueen]

I just cannot believe that God is a human-like notion. I believe in a neutral energy that is everything, continuing through time and space (doctor who, lol :D ) For me God is the evil and good at the same time. I believe that suicide is a method of the nature to eliminate the weak. It is coming from inside. No one can assure you to go against survival instinct other than the nature itself. and it has nothing to do with actual ability of being useful for the society. You can have no ability to move or be locked inside yourself, but if you feel that you still can be useful for anything then you want to live, but if you feel that whatever you do is not enough the nature automatically eliminates you. They say suicide is not a way out, but actually this is the way your body wants to stop suffering. it is the survival instinct in its core.
