Do you believe in God/Higher Power?

[piinkguitar]

I'm wondering...because I'm not sure if I do or not. I'm on the fence. State your reasons as to why or why not; I'm just curious.

[~*GirlzRule*~]

I believe in God..
I'm a Christian.

[shopaholicoxxo]

No, I don't.

I don't really have a specific "reason" or anything, I guess just that there's not enough proof for me and I've never been very religious anyways. The whole idea of a god is just too far-fetched for me.

[*~MileyCyrus#1Fan~*]

Yup, I do

EDIT: I'm a Christian, I got saved when i was 7, and I was raised with it, I've never doubted my belief, and nothing will ever make me doubt it ;]

[( soulmates )]

No, I don't.

[destinydreamer]

I'm a Christian.

pinkguitar, by opening this discussion I believe that you are really looking for an answer to the question, you will find that a lot of the individuals, here who believe in God base their belief on the bible or judea-christian beliefs which is also where I come from. Because of your question, i'm not going to recommend you start your search there. St Thomas Aquinas, a christian theologian has some proofs that argues the existance of God, based on logic, if you want I can try to find you that book on the internet.

[miley_smiles923]

Well I don't, I don't want to offend anyone so I won't say why
But if you do or don't is really up to you, other peoples opinions shouldnt lean you towards one way or another

[eizy12306]

haha i don't really have a religion - if i do i don't know it.
but i do kind of believe in god, but idk what my religion is.
but its gonna suck if god is real for all the ppl that don't
believe in him, & other way around..

If you tell me which of his books in specific you are referring to I could give you a hand.

[SmileyMiley11]

I do.

[miley cyrus fan 4 ever]

I believe in god ( I'm muslim )
if you asked me a reason believe me I'm not gonna finish.
everything around is prove that the god is above us.

[krrristin]

I don't to a certain extent. I mean I WANT to, just to feel better about what happends after death, etc.
But to be honest I am more for evolution and science. I also think some hate is preached in churches and stuff.
I believe in God, but only that he exists. I don't think he's done much.

[xshawty♥]

i do im christian

[D.H.C]

i do and i dont im a christian but sometimes i wonder..but i do beliven in the after life so yes.

[APA-168]

I don't, there is no evidence for God. I'm not really sure what your looking for by asking here, but I'd try reading some books by people like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens or Sam Harris and see what you think. I'd try Harris first, it's far lighter than anything by Hitchens or Dawkins.

[~*GirlzRule*~]

There's the Bible^^

[mileycyrusrox454]

I am Christian, so I guess

[forever_miley]

im catholic, so yes.

[Marauder]

I believe in god.

[krrristin]

There's the Bible^^
IMHO, the bible isn't exactly proof.

[~*GirlzRule*~]

IMHO, the bible isn't exactly proof.
Oh...well, that's your opinon, I guess.
What does IMHO mean, anyway?

[ElPiedra]

Oh...well, that's your opinon, I guess.
What does IMHO mean, anyway?

It means: In my humble opinion, I think. And well, I can see where she's coming from. If the bible is taken to the truth, then humanity as a whole is nothing but one big, happy, inbred family.

More so, if people take it to be completely true, then the book would make absolutely no sense whatsoever (from a logical standpoint). Hence, the Bible would not be evidence due to the extraordinary acts committed, and the events which transpire in it, since they are far from any conceivable realm of possibility.

On the other hand, arguing that it is in fact something spiritual, that it is open to free interpretation, well, then that strengthens the argument that it is not proof at all. If something is an abstract thing itself, how can it be used as concrete evidence?

[huskerrich]

krrristin, I accept that because I also believe that the bible is a compiled work of books by authors inspired by god and if you don't accept the existence of God it would be difficult to prove the existance of God through the bible, but to be honest I am off topic of the purpose of the originator of this thread. imho(in my honest opinion)

[LukkiStar]

I don't know what I believe in really. I didn't grow up having any kind of religion or whatever, but I go to a Catholic school so I know quite a bit about different beliefs and stuff. I've also been reading about other religions lately which are really interesting.

I guess I believe that there's probably some kind of higher power because strange unexplainable things do happen in my life from time to time, but I don't think that there's really a "god" like many religions teach.

Idk, I'm just really uncertain about everything when it comes to faith.

[smilez]

Yes, I do very much believe in God and Jesus and the Bible.
Amen.

[luv2act]

I do, I'm Christian. I not a Christian because my parents are (they aren't) or anything, that's who I am. You shouldn't base your views on someone else's or think something because you parents do or someone told you to, you have the right to your own opinion.

[charmed_4evr]

im not sure if i think there is or there isnt theres some things which make me think he might exist but im still not sure if he does. Im not very religious i go to church once a year on christmas because my parents make me but other than that im not religous at all.

[Bucky Kentucky]

From Douglas Adams novel "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy."

"The bable fish is definate proof of the nonexistance of God. The arguement goes something like this.

I refuse to prove I exist says God because proof denies faith and without faith I am nothing.

Oh says man isn't the fact the bable fish exists proves your existance?

Oh I hadn't thought about that and God disappears in a puff of logic.

Oh that's easy says man and he later goes on the prove that black equals white and gets himself killed at the next pedestrian crossing."

In all seriousness people have been debating and pondering the question if a higher power exists for centuries. I believe there is since all cultures believe in a higher power in one form or another. And our universe has certain constants in it. If that balance didn't exist our universe wouldn't exist and life wouldn't exist.

It's a question of faith and faith is the belief in something which can not be proven.

[SierraStew908]

I do.
I guess because I was raised to believe in God.
But I'm not really that religious.

[meditry]

I think I believe in some form of higher being, but I'm not exactly sure of what I mean. I don't believe that the Bible is meant to be true, I believe that the Bible is a grouping of stories meant to be interpreted, not to be taken in the exact words that it says. How do we know that the Bible isn't really just a compilation of fictional stories that is just supposed to outline the basic ideals of the Christian faith? We just as a race don't know much of anything, considering all that there is to know out there, so we may never find out what the true basis of all of this is. It just gives people something to believe in to put pride in. So whatever you feel is the right religion is.

[CASSXIES]

I don't really know what I think? I mean, I don't believe that god created us? I believe that we all started out smaller, as organisms, and evolved after millions upon millions of years, though...I do think there is some "Higher power" I just don't know what.
-shrug- I don't even really know what I'm talking abouttttt, because I don't know whats true and what isn't. Its everyone else's personal view.

[adolphin]

Yeah

I believe everything in the bible
especially where the world isnt Millions of years old
and ONLY 6,000

How could you believe and not know??? I know the truth and the Bible is true and we were created by God. God is real and so is Jesus and angels and the Devil and his demons. Trust me on this.

[CASSXIES]

thats your opinion.
(:

[~*GirlzRule*~]

I agree with you! How are you alive today if God didn't create you...and NO, I don't want to hear mess like, "My mom made me." God made the first people, who had children, who had children, and so on.
thats your opinion.
(:

No need to gang up on me, this thread was made to tell your opinion about it, and I did.
(:
I'm done here though, I don't like talking about religions, I usually wouldn't say what I thought, but I did..too late.
:D

and, hahaha just to clear it up... I said I was UNsure about what I believe.

[TeenPopSensation]

Well I don't, I don't want to offend anyone so I won't say why
But if you do or don't is really up to you, other peoples opinions shouldnt lean you towards one way or another

exactly. i totally agree.

[pinkpolkadots96]

i am a christian, and i believe in god.
i respect others opinions, but thats def not what i believe.

[miley_smiles923]

This thread isn't to start fights or a chance for you to force people to believe in what you do, so if you want to state your opinion thats fine, but lets not start a fight about it. Everyones opinion is different, and that's a good thing.

[hannah#1]

I'm Catholic and I DO believe in God ;)
also no offence but religion is one of the topics u should NEVER bring up because it can bring up arguments if people disagree or have different belifs ;)

[Rockin_Miley]

I believe in god.


I am not very religious.

[jasondolleylover1]

ppll [ like me] get offended easily

[adolphin]

ily2!!

I shouldnt be talking about my religion either
lol

[pinkpolkadots96]

i personally dont get offended by these things.. i mean
everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and obviously
peoples opinions are going to be different. i dont think it should
be closed, its a good discussion. if you're offended, you dont have
to be on this thread, anyways.

[Panic]

bad place to post this thread. im not gonna even try to read it. but i can predict 99% of the members saying they believe and everyone else will be punished for not believing BECAUSE thats what there parents say and thats what they grew up learning. it's better ot have this sort of thread on a forum of mostly adults or atleast 15 up or something so they actually know what there talking about.

no offence to people.

[Rockin_Miley]

*cough*^

There's really no reason to close it becuase there's no fighting...
There's also no reason to get offended.
People are allowed to have their beliefs, whether you agree with them or not.

[lucyinthesky]

i'm agnostic, which means i dont believe in god because its not proven, but i can listen to other's ideas and wont judge. i usually have a counter argument tho(:

[( soulmates )]

I don't actually know what I am.
If someone says they don't believe in God, I pledge to the Christianity side of me.
If they're superdooper Christian, I disagree with them.
I think its my family, though. My brother does the same thing. :P


I haven't really researched any other religions; so I'm not sure what I am yet. My town/county isn't very culturally diverse (that includes religion) so the majority of us are Christians, or Agnostics. My friend is Wiccan, though, which I find sincerely awesome.

[lucyinthesky]

whats wiccan?
