God?

[james_m246]

Do you believe in God ?

And if you do what convinces you and if you don't what convinces you?

[Rubyrose]

I don't! Don't know if I ever have to be honest! I don't because I think its all b*llsh*t! I can't pin point an actual reason.. I just don't!

[dot.hawkes]

i do, because there has to be something, there better be cos i want to ask my Mum and Dad alot more stuff.

[baileys]

Do you believe in rock �n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

[dot.hawkes]

Well, I know that you�re in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin� in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.

[james_m246]

I don't but that is because I am a very logical person and becase there is not a shred of evidence to prove he exists and quite a bit that he doesn't (didn't create the world/man e.t.c.) leads me to believe, as Rubyrose said, its all a load of b*llsh*t.

'I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him'

[james_m246]

That makes no sense, how can something you believe doesn't exist scare you?

[smudge]

I can't say I believe there is a God sitting up there looking over us & all that stuff - but I did say "Oh, God" when I banged my toe on the bed castor in the dark last night!

Then again, I also said "Bloody Hell" too & I don't believe there's really a Devil as such either!

[tomestone]

God created man in his own image,how do you explain Steven Hawkings,

[Rubyrose]

James.. do you mean you don't believe but if he/she does exist then you would be scared coz you didn't believe?

Thats what I hate! The fact that people are scared to say they don't believe! The way God is drummed into peoples minds is such a way that we should be scared of him and respect him at the same time!!!! Pfffft! Sod that!

[jon1968]

James, it�s a line from a film, basically saying there is no rational thought process in believing in God, but you're afraid just in case your wrong �pretty straightforward really, nothing to lose any sleep over �.but a good line nonetheless.

Full quote��

�Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze.�

[Redbel]

In two minds if I believe in god as such. But I'd like to believe there is a better place than this, somewhere that one day we will meet up with all our lost loved ones.

I heard a saying years ago, about this being hell where we are now, so theres gotta be something better.

[james_m246]

Talking about Steven Hawkins, he once said that there is a God in the sense that the universe is God.

Or somethin' like that anyway.

[james_m246]

I wouldn't be scared if it turned out God does exist because when he questions my faith I'd just say "well you could of given us bit of a hint!".

I also don't believe in an afterlife as such but that we are reincarnated or something like that, but then if you can't remember your past life are you really being reincarnated or just re-using your soul?

[smudge]

Rubyrose - I have to agree with the second para in your second posting - it's so true!

[james_m246]

I think it would make sense to make religion illigal or something like that because it causes so much corruption (wars e.t.c.) that it is just pointless.

[smudge]

P.S. Talking of Steven Hawking - thought I'd just mention that his sister is my GP - am I bovvered?!

[jon1968]

James, all religion is based on fear.

[tomestone]

God is a man made value to promote calm when there was chaos,or yoda as was,there are to many affiliates with there own agendas for my peace of mind.A universal thing is more plausable but how many universes are there?
