Yes, I do believe in God. I'm not one of those obsessed Catholics that attends church every Sunday, prays to God before going to bed or worships him, but I do believe that there is a sense of a greater presence amongst us.
People question God's existence. But now, I'm going to question the Big Bang theory. How is it that so many particles could just exist and come together to go ... BANG! And create the world? I don't understand that. It's why I believe in God, I don't believe everything science says.
So technically, this is a religion vs. science thread if you really think about. Unless I'm mistaken, there is no other way we were created other than God or the Big Bang Theory. Am I right?

Well, if God allows slavery and gender inequality, and you're supposed to spread the word of God, and you vouch against slavery and gender inequality, and don't promote God because he's not a part of your life, you might not be following God's word.

You mean JESUS not GOD 
There have been records found that prove there was a person called Jesus who had a following aka "Disciples" but that doesn't mean he performed "miracles" as such, maybe he was just a really smart person who fooled people? the same could be said against any people revered in history for being "miracle-workers" or "wizards" maybe they were just smart people who fooled people with slight-of-hand and other crafty tricks.
Anyway, I don't believe in God because there's no proof that he ever existed not solid proof anyway, if he popped up infront of me I'd believe in him but until then, I don't

To me, that is a bullsh*t way of scaring someone into your religion.

I agree with you on some level here. I have a hard time believing that good people no matter what their beliefs are will go to hell. Some people don't have freedom of religion and it's not really their choice what to believe. They could be the nicest person with the best morals and want the best for everyone, try their hardest to change the world for the better, and just because they don't believe they're going to hell? That I just can't believe it could be like that.
I mean I follow my religion somewhat, but I don't believe everything about my religion. I believe what I want to believe, or what I think is right no matter who says it's wrong.
All of my family don't believe in Jesus or God, my family have basically disowned me for it, but I'm not going to stop believing in something just because others don't. I have my reasons for believe, I guess everyone has a reason why they believe.

Just wanted to say that the Big Bang is not quite as simple as "Pop, we're here". And there are more theories, I just think these 2 are the most popular.
BTW, I was just want to re-itterate what I said earlier so people do not get the wrong impression of me. I have no religion, but that doesn't mean I'm not looking for one. I'm not atheist. Which, btw, Atheist seems oh so broad of a term for non-believers. There are different types of atheists like there are different types of Christians.
But I still believe in a higher power. Just maybe not the same ones as everyone else

Cleomenes: Flaming is not permitted, on any level. Unless you'd like to edit that post, or indeed, expand upon it, then I'm afraid I'll have to delete the post/warn you for it, because, frankly, many people could take offence from that.

No, sorry  I hadn't refreshed the page and I presumed I would be the poster immediately after Cleomenes. I've editted my post, now, but thank you for allowing me to clarify.

Sorry, I didn't mean it in that way. Well, I didn't know what other way to put it. I do believe in God, but I'm unsure about the creation story. Wouldn't it have been quicker to make the world in less than seven days?
