Do you believe in God?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

[Kenneth ken]

1. not sure

but I emphatically do NOT believe in the god as written about in the bible.

A jealous god? I can't even respect that, let alone worship.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

2. I always thought

the idea that God, if she exists, wanted us to worship her, was pretty silly.

[Kenneth ken]

3. probably

it might be ok to create an animal to worship you, but I'd think that would get old and boring fairly quick. Maybe that's why she doesn't slap down some of the worst of us - she got bored ages ago and moved on to something more amusing.

[Nostradammit]

4. I always thought

that she wanted us to love her, and by extension, all of her creations. Being infinite and eternal must get mighty dull with no one else to share it with.

5. I do

God has helped me out a bunch of times.

[scarlet_owl]

6. Absolutely.

The God I know is all about peace, love, and forgiveness-not smiting and condemning.

[arwalden]

10. Then There Must Be More Than One God...

... because the god worshipped by fundies and repukes isn't the one you talk about. It's not the one that's described in the bible either. Hmmm.

It gets so confusing.

13. The "god" worshipped by fundies and repukes is made in their image

And he looks kinda like -------> :evilgrin:

19. Fundies and repukes worship

the Almighty Dollar

27. Preach on, Brotha Dubya!

[arwalden]

7. Up Until I Turned 28...

... then I became rational.

[Padraig18]

8. I do, absolutely.

But the God I love, and His Son, are about peace, love, faith, hope and charity. :)

9. Either there is something out there keeping me here

through all the things I have been through in my life . I don't believe in the form that my family believes in . Can't get into it , you all might have me committed or something .

[hussar]

11. I say I don't believe in God but...

when I'm in a life and death situation I seem to find myself saying a prayer.

[trof]

12. Does She believe in me?

Once we settle that point we can negotiate.
;-)

[blondeatlast]

15. This much I can assure you of--YES!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

14. Yes

I believe in a higher spirit, if you want to call it god that is fine by me. I am what most would call a liberal christian. I believe in a god that is fueled by love, knowledge, and peace to be shared by all people. I believe that in order to believe in this god you don't have to attend a church, you don't have to pray, you don't have to feel obligated to anything, etc. It's just a spirit that is there, wherever, inside of you even, that can guide you or help you along the way.

[jonnyblitz]

16. no. introduce me or show me a picture and I will....

I can't believe so many people do believe and don't require any proof.

[onebigbadwulf]

17. God

God is a sum of all the universe's energy. This is my definition and perhaps, like the collection of billions of our neurons, it has found sentience. And perhaps not. Regardless, as energy, this God is responsible for the creation of the universe whether or not it "wanted" to.

[curse10]

18. No

I'm your resident friendly neighborhood atheist.

[corarose]

20. Hell NO!

God Bless!

[joeybee12]

21. God is like Barbra Streisand before James Brolin, all powerful, but

insecure. Oh, he's been a rock.

That's why God requires prayer.

Can't take credit for this wonderful analogy!

22. Every Comedian Has a Preacher Character

Kids in the Hall!

[ajacobson]

23. There's only one god

That's the Sun God
Sun God, Sun God
RA, RA, RA!

[leftyandproud]

24. wow...I didn't know DU was THIS MUCH out of the mainstream..

polls show betwen 90% and 95% of Americans believe in God...
look at these results...Where are you DU'ers coming from? Some backwards country like Sweden? ;)

[havocmom]

25. "and I believe that God...

... believes in Claude, and that's me..."

[CSI Willows]

26. Not in the way most people understand it.

It's a bit of a confusing story. I'm somewhat of an atheist - 'cept I believe in some kind of God-like force, not really in religion. I don't know what you'd call that. And, I'm also a reform Jew, which makes it even more confusing.

[Zynx]

28. Yep.

Strongly too.

[Bozola]

29. To paraphrase and appropriate Haldane's quote

The christian god seems to be inordinately fond of beetles and idiots; for he certainly made enough of them.

[toddzilla]

30. no friggin way...

too much death, misery and fortune for those undeserving...

[Nomad559]

31. No, I do not believe in God

:evilgrin:

[SeveneightyWhoa]

32. I'll believe in God if Bush loses in 04.

But as it stands, I'm an atheist. Bush has nothing to do with that, though.
