fear makes it fun

Before 1954, when the United States was in the middle of the Cold War, the pledge did not include a reference to God. In adding it, members of Congress said they wanted to set the United States apart from 'godless communists.'

i'm not trying to bash ya here xski, but i don't buy into the whole 'what do you have to lose by beleiving?' thing. if i believe in something it's for a strong and viable reason, not just because. that's just giving lip service to God and not really something that you fell in your heart. you can't force yourself to believe in something you really don't feel just because you having nothing to lose by doing so. anyhow, i believe in something bigger than us, just not necessarily a 'God'

^ dont get angry at me, but personally i think that church is one of those 'BS' things that the world throws at me...i think its people who have been sucked into believing in god try to force it upon other people..i think christianity is not a good example, but look at jehova's witnesses...the fucking try to make everyoen else belive their BS. this is just my take on religion..i really dont think there is a god, but then again i could be wrong..

see, thats the thing that gives christianity a bad name. televangelists, jehovas witnesses, or anyone who goes around blasting your going to hell. and i didnt mean just say you beleive. the 'christian lifestyle' isnt being so uptight you cant have fun. just go to a local youth group sometime, or go see a christian rock concert, someone like Pillar or Switchfoot. try it, and if its not for you, then what can you do?

I know sometimes when I;m out alone, skiing hiking or otherwise, ya know sometimes you just dont feel alone, like there is something else out there that you can't feel or touch. Yes there is a'supreme being' I just dont know if its God, Allah or what
all I know is that I will figure it out on my own, for that is what eyes and ears and your minds was designed to do figure stuff out

heres a good quote
To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within.. With our own eyes we see, and with our own skin we feel. With our intelligence, it is intended that we understand. But each person must puzzle it out for himself or herself.

no, there is not 'obviously a god', your belief is simply that, a personal opinion in which you happen to believe in god, or a higher being, or whatever you want to call it. Peronally, I don't believe in god, and I don't believe that what the bible says is true, but at times I believe in a higher being, at times I don't, I still haven't quite made up my mind.

^^why would you believe something because there was no proof not to? i'm not gonna make up random shit and believe it cause no one can prove me wrong. i'm not gonna believe things that there's no proof for. seems to make more sense that way. (and if you haven't guessed by now, i don't believe in god. that's cool for people who do, but that guys logic seems kinda off.)

^ not for people who don't believe in the bible, i have nothing against people who do, I know a lot of people find religion very rewarding, but a lot of other people, including myself, just don't buy in to it. It's a matter of opinion, there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to religion.

belief in god or a specific religion is the same as a personal preference of a song or a movie, some people may love a song, others hate it. you believe in god and the bible, others don't.

i agree that is is personal preferance i think that like i said above that people need to explore what they are not believing in though, whether its a god or not, because i think that a lot people find it easy to just say i dont belive in god. its an easy way out of topic not many people wanna deal with. if you have good reason not to believe in god, other than there is no prove of god (because there are many sources other than the bible that prove god existance)than go right ahead and believe that.

I don't believe in god because I simply don't think it's plausible. I don't need a reason for why I don't believe in it. There is absolutely no need to have a 'good reason' for an opinion, I just don't believe in god, it's as simple as that.

1. the definition of god or God is a self-sufficiant higher power

2.for the scientific types here occams razor - the easiest answer is the correct one- God is the easiest answer, as opposed to a random explosion creating order out of disorder
^most of the scientific world actually ascribes to this, just not the major scientific organizations

I dont believe in anything at all. Maybe its because i find the idea of faith a problem. To me its totaly rediculus to ask for blind faith with no proof. My views are that religion has served a purpose to bind people together and provide the 'glue' for society. It allows people to have something in commen, an 'ice breaker' to start a conversation.
It also allows people to avoid the question of 'what is the point of it all' and provides people with an escape from the trials of life.

By no means am i being insulting or condesending to people who do believe. If it works for them then that is great, as long as their views do not affect or impinge on my life.

I believe in God, I was raised to do so. However, that is not my reasoning behind my beliefs, I have devloped my own reasons for being a Christian. I do go to church just about every sunday, yet I do not follow the atypical Christian lifestyle, I do have my vices, and lots of them. I do believe that religon is a 'glue' that holds the world together, because as Voltaire atated 'If there were no God then it would be nessicary to invent him.'
Incidently I find that science requires more blind faith then Christianity or any religon for that matter. Ultimately it all boils down to faith and ones own choice.
