This I Believe There is / is not a God

I think you're creative.
And if you would be serious, you would need help.
And so would the others making up stories like this and trying to convince everyone they're true. So yeah, I know where you're going.

The ridiculous story I made is partially based on Russel's Teapot. Personally I thought his idea was amusing and I thought I'd use it here. I'm clearly a non-religious person.

Any fictional story would work in this case. Have you tried Hitchhiker's Guide?

.

I'm glad there's people gaining strength from religion. It's their way of coping with life.
I'm not religious, I feel and know that there's more, but that doesn't make me want to believe in any sort of God.
I respect people that are into some kind of religion, but I do have problems becoming friends with them. I don't mind a good conversation and often it just grinds to a halt when the other person introduces his religion. It's just a different way of living, I guess.

Edit: Just clicked your link. So you did make this up yourself? Twisted

The Hitchhiker's Guide series is possibly the best on the planet. I can't county how many time's I've read the series.

I'm a very irreligious person, mostly because instead of turning to god when I was five, I turned to science documentaries and whatever was up with Bill Nye. I liked to pretend religion didn't exist and I never really believed in god.

s_k · 11-25-2010, 05:30 PM

I never had any reason to believe in god.
I do now and then have the feeling that I have some sort of contact with people who passed away and I also sometimes get the idea that I have some sort of clearvoyant (is that the right word?) capabilities. I seem to be able to know things I can't know and predict things I can't know. It's not too clear though, maybe it's just me being mad on my own

knowing God is something you cannot ever do unless you give it a fair chance. And accept its possibility... I gave my life to the Lord a few months ago and it has changed my life 1000000% for the better. I love talking to him and spending time with him, because i love him. I know he loves me because i feel him in my heart when i speak to him or do an act of love. I know it is the Lord because what i feel matches with everything the BIble says. I cant explain the kind of love i feel but only ask that when you feel like youre all alone and have hit rock bottom, like i did, ask for him, and he will love you still, accept him as your savior if you so choose, and it will save your life. I say all this with love and respect and no one has to agree but if anyone has questions id love to have a friendly conversation on it

I'm sorry but I'm really bothered by postings like this one.
You have only one posting and this is the only thing you have to say?
I also got a friend invitation from someone who had four postings. All four postings were trying to convince people to believe in God.
Don't try to impose your belief on me or on any of us. That really makes me angry.
That's one thing I dislike about beliefs.

Come on people! This is a music forum and to me, music is the highest power.

Belief lends itself to the idea that you have evidence or reason to support your propositions or premises. Faith, on the other hand, purposefully suspends the application of evidence and reason to your beliefs.

Now that you mention it: I should've known

Y does me saying that you have to accept gods possibility to belive in him make you mad. ITs true. the same way you have to accept the possibility the christopher columbus dicsovered america to believe its true or not. You have to weigh the options when you are deciding if something is true. Am i wrong in that? Im not pushing my beliefs on ne one and apologize if you take it that way. This is just my opinion. This forum is about whether or not god is real and i am just trying to show you where im coming from cuz i want you to feel like i do. But i will not push it on ne one
