God ? I think humans created god because they didn't know how they were created, what happens after death, why are they here...
Humans believe in god to don't worry about death, to have someone to talk when they are alone...
I can tell he exists in a certain way. Not in concrete terms, but in every catholic, muslim, buddhist, deist or whatever's heart.
The bad thing about religion is what people DO with it : make war, kill people who don't believe what you beleive, forbid a lot of things...
A lot of people are stupid in this way, because they think they KNOW everything about "god". For me, everything about god must be personal.
I think deism is the only "good" religion.

I believe in a Creator, and in meaning in life, but I don't believe in organised religion or living your life according to a Bible/ other book of worship.

I was sent to a Catholic school for 5 years. There I learned about Bible stories and the names of different saints, really all I can remember about the religious studies. It seems to me that even the though the concept of a man/god, dying for my sins sounds absurd, in the back of my mind the belief of that just stays with me, always has. All this talk of why a god couldn't possibly exist makes sense to me and yet I still find myself believing. I can't properly explain "This is why I believe in god" I just do.

I don't believe there is a God because I'm Satan.

I told his mate that I wanted to have him a fight outside the school gates at 3:30 - sharpish.

He never showed.

Why would there be a Satan with no God? That'd be like The Joker saying he doesn't believe in Batman.
