Do you believe in God?

This thread wasn't intended to bash anybody for their beliefs. Go back to your shitty board dude. Nobody likes you here anyways.

I do not believe. Because I'm not stupid.

I wouldn't call it bashing, or being mean. It's just the simple truth.

what do you apply the term 'god' too?

only god have five fingers

I believe in thinking for myself ...

I'm not bashing anyone. But anyone with religious beliefs of any kind must be ignoring science. By doing so they're ignorant, at best. I'd call most of them stupid though, but I'll admit that I have met religious people who are far from stupid.

Didn't you just say this thread wasn't intended for bashing?

The definition of "god" please. I believe in Flying Spaghetti Monster. Is it god?

I believe because I believe - it is something I feel and not something I could ever fully explain.

LOL. What science would that be? I have multiple degrees in the life sciences and find it interesting that the story of creation jives with the commonly accepted theories of the big bang and evolution.

If there is a God he, she, it is a shitty being that loves killing and harming people. The evidence is in the Bible.

He created the Great Flood. His reasoning was he made man flawed and this developed into something that wasn't doing as it should. Except for Moses and his family. So he drowned everything so they and 2 of every kind could start again. Not sure what he had against all the animals and babes, but no one has ever mentioned that part.

He then decided the people of Sodom and Gomorrah were also not doing as he wanted, so destroyed the places, everything got wiped out. Not sure what he had against all the animals and babes, but no one has ever mentioned that part.

Then there were the plagues in Egypt. Again those bloody Egyptians were not doing as they should and he caused the plagues, ending with the death of te first born son. Some must of been innocent babes, but who cares when you're God and trying to make a point? Not sure what he had against all the animals and babes, but no one has ever mentioned that part.

Then he led them into the desert and helped them build a WMD. Nice of him wasn't it?

Then he gave them someone else's land and told them to kill anyone who tried to hang onto what they already had. These were Jews who now complain about others trying to hang onto what they have.

So the destruction continued in Jericho, he cased the Walls to come tumbling down so the Israelite army could go int the city and kill everyone, children and animals as well. On his orders. Not sure what he had against all the animals and babes, but no one has ever mentioned that part.

And so it goes on. It seems so many religious people stand up and tell us to go kill someone, because that's what God wants. Not just Christians, it's most religions. The Catholics are just the the ones we read so much about because the Europeans have been the power house of the World for 2 Millennium.

Of course when God gives his orders to the chosen few, it usually ends up with the chosen few ending up more powerful and richer. And people and babies dying. Not sure what he had against all the babes, but no one has ever mentioned that part.

Or the whole thing is bullshit.

nope ... what has religion brought us so far? WAR ... and nothing else ... religion is THE source of PURE EVIL and so i HATE religion and disregard "believers" ... "god" is for the confessing non-knowing ...

i'm agnostic, so the answer is No. the power above(?) us is called nature, which can not be personified or dogmatized.

I'll kindly pass on this discussion. It has been my experience that discussing science with religious people leads into arguments defying logic and peer-reviewed scientific results, thus turning into a huge waste of time for all parties involved.

I'm a soft atheist/hard agnostic. 99% of the time, I don't believe, but I can't help but be a tiny bit open to the potential.

Well said fine sire.
