Do you believe in God? - Page 5

To answer the topic question, no I do not believe in God. I am currently athiest and I guess the reason is that I never really had a reason to believe in god.

Oh gee, I missed all the juicy debate. Anyways, I do not believe in God because I do not believe in things I do not know exist. Although I'm sure you've already heard of that one.

With regards to evolution, we did indeed, evolve from primates, but that doesn't mean they necessarily must stop existing. Specifically, we had a common ancestor, but we didn't evolve from monkeys; monkeys share a common ancestor with us, which is the only relation. However, other primates could only go extinct from competition with humans, but we see that humans don't live in the exact same environments other primates do, and they do not interfere with each other. Evolution is not a ladder; it is a tree.

The documents may validate Jesus' existence, but I choose not to believe in the miracles. There is no evidence that they could have happened; just a bunch of secondary sources that say it happens, which amounts to as much proof as the bible gives--which is not much.

To be real honest about this i don't belive in god or any other religion cause to me i belive what i want and not what others belive.So if there is a god how come there is so much suffering in the world that is my question for u guys/gals that belive that god really exsits.

God said after he flooded the earth he was not going to interfer with any more human problems. He was going to let us make are own mistakes.

I don't believe in God, i guess i'm just one of those people who can't believe in something for which I do not have any solid proof. However I do believe that Jesus existed BUT not that he was special or anything, just an ordinary guy. After all there is proof of his existance but no proof of his supposed deeds, except if yo count the Bible as solid evidence (which I don't)

I dont get wat you are saying . You say that we have proof that Jesus was alive, but we dont have proof that he did all those deeds. How do u know that jesus is real ????

I do not see the logic in that question.
You've been arguing for Jesus but many times you question it. I could see if you were asking us what we think, but he already stated that he believes that there was a human named Jesus but he does not believe all the miracles he supposedly did.

btw, I didnt realize how many atheists there are. Insane. And I also really wonder how many people are real atheists.

Well, I suppose one reason for this is that mythology in general is usually older than most of these modern religions and therefore have less "proof" to back them up. One of the disadvantages of being created before the big boom of written sources.

Personally I am not a believer of any religion, but find it (of course) totally acceptable that other people do. If some people find it reassuring to have strong faith in their lives, then they should be allowed to have that.

I find it hard to believe that a God would exist, especially as a "ruler with power over us all". But it seems like many define God in different ways, and it's therefore hard to fully understand what God is and what God does.

He said he belived in jesus because of the documents but he/she dosent belive in the deeds that he did. I was asking how you can read the acient doucuments and read one part of them and not belive the other part of them.

BTW> Your right there are a lot of atheis people lol

because how can you possibly believe that he feed about 100 people with one loaf of bread? how could he turn water into wine?
