50 godless heathens!

god is cool :thumbsup

God is just something we believe to keep us from feeling our lives are not worthless and meaningless so we create this imaginary thing to comfort us.

Like kids do with imaginary friends

Parliament Hill?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

no no its not,

what about the people who think the earth and mother nature is its own God?
some people believe Satan is God.

if we die and there is nothing then we have nothing to worry about anyway.

i think people today are afraid to belive because they dont have someone guiding them in beliefs, which they shouldnt in the first place.

you should be able to sum up your life and the things around it and create your own beliefes through it.

Exactly when we die its game over no after life etc. the only thing you can do is leave your blood behind with children.

But most people are weak and they need something to grasp onto when lonely or hopeless

This was brought up in another thread I saw earlier in the day.

And I think the reply to it was something along the lines of - but if there's no god...then you've lived a life of servitude to the god you've put your faith in all along.

i dont really base my beliefs on being lonely and hopeless, i base them on the facts of discovery and how big the universe is and how small we are and what little we do know.

i do not want to die and be told everything, i am human and yearn for discovery, and i see afterlife as just a new discovery.

again people mixing up reiligion and beliefs,

i do not have any "servitude" as i said in the original post of this thread my belifes evovle and have evolved many many times.

i am a servant to no religion, and my beliefs do not stop me from exploring life.

I was raised a catholic but my fathers a Christian and my mothers a jew.

So my parents let me decide what to believe in. and with all the information I have gathered for myself I have come to believe there is no god or special forces in the world only those we create within ourselves to make it another day.

thats cool, i respect your beliefs, i am not trying to convince anyone to change just discussing how beliefs can be possitive.

side note:

so what do you think happens to murdered children or murdered rape victims?

do you think that is just "it"?

What do you think happens to them?

You'll have to excuse my perspective. In my circle of acquaintance most people I know view belief/religion as one and the same - black or white. You either believe and are therefore religious, or you don't and you're an atheist.

That's just my experience, is all.

people who believe in god do not realize that they are little children looking up to their drunk dad who keeps telling them Santa is real, easter bunny will come to visit and mom will never die.

i really do not know what i believe, it is beyond me even trying to comprhend/explain.

i do though believe there is something after is which they are rested (soul).

even when i think about re incarnation it makes just as much sense.

the only thing i DO NOT believe in is that is "it".

i believe in god, even though the posts i make may lead u to think otherwise

i just am sick of seeing close minded idiots that believe blindly in their faith. you cannot simply think "there is a god" and expect to get into heaven. if it were that easy only the retards would be getting in. if you believe in a god, you probably believe you were given a mind to use and be able to think and analyze the world around you, not just "there is a god, lemme in heaven"

i believe in god, i also strongly believe in evolution.

people are afraid to believe because they are afraid of being wrong.

Oh great! Now Santa and the Easter Bunny are fictitious, too?!?

I need another beer!

me also evolution + God,

if you're talking about your other thread it just got me thinking, dont feel a need that you need to explain yourself. i didnt try to make it cross reference yours or anything along those lines, :)

just thought about how alot of people on here feel beliefs +instead of religion cannot go.

Yes a very misfortunate happening.. People want to believe in something good because they can face the fact that it?s over when you die. and something so bad could happen to good people. well it happens everyday and if there was a god or whatever it wouldnt happen at all :2 cents:

So people conjure up these mystic gods etc.

All I know is I make the best of what I have and try to live life to the fullest while I'm still physically able too. Once I die thats it and it scares the fuck out of me sometimes because I don't want to die I have a great life

there is no FACT of what happens, it is only belief of what will happen.

IE the point of my thread. :winkwink:

not all gods are "mystic" how do you know you're already dead? :winkwink:

well you wont have anything to worry about when it happens if that is the case. :upsidedow

Why do I now have that "What if god was one of us...just a stranger on a bus" lyric goin' through my brain at this hour? :winkwink:

you are obviously a hiking boot wearing lesbian. :winkwink:

Main Entry: mystic
Function: noun
1 : a follower of a mystical way of life
2 : an advocate of a theory of mysticism

show me one fact of any god like power and I will believe..

If there was a God? priest wouldnt be molesting powerless children :2 cents: or kids wouldnt be starving etc.

and if there is a God i say Fuck him for what he is allowing to happen to good children and people. He has a sick sense of humor

god spelled backwards is "DOG" ... makes me suspicious..

God gets a bad rap , but i'm sure he is a good guy... killing all those babies doesn't look good on his record.. maybe if he cleared his rap sheet or something ..

I bet if he had heaven on MTV cribs he would be alot more popular.. tell him that next time you talk to him..

I dont know if god exists or not , but im sure if he does , he doesnt want us worrying about him all the time.

haha there is the norm blaming someone else for what is happened, you said it yourself basically "SHIT HAPPENS" there is no one to blame.

why do people have the conception "if there is a God he controls us"?

shouldnt you be saying "FUCK HUMANS" we are such an "intelligent" species yet we have so much evil. arent we to blame?

i am not taking this thread into PROOFS, there are no proofs from either side, i am talking about beliefs, and i do understand and respect yours and think yours are "as possible" as mine.

totally agree.

people keep trying to turn this into a religion God thing,

i am talking about beliefs not who is right/wrong.

I am my Own God

Proofs

Fact I have never seen a GOd of anykind nor has any god spoke to me thru a rock or burning bush..

I tell people whatever you believe to get you thru the day happy is kewl with me. Just don't impose it on anyone else

why is it you have to be close minded as if the only God possible is those we have written about.

i believe that God is something that humans do not have the possibility of even comprhending..

i am not imposing nor do i ever,

my beliefs and concepts are far beyond a single religion, it is the conversation and the infinite number of possibilites that intrigues me.

I don't think your imposing in anyway..

I think your grasping for something thats not really there.. :2 cents:

but if it help you sleep better at nite thats all that matters

my beliefs dont help me sleep. i never once said what i belive in or how i believe in it, that wasnt the point of this thread.

great post Meta ,good points. In God I trust.

thank you. :)

Like I said whatever God you want to believe in that helps you feel more impowered to live your life. more power to you..


like I said I am my Own God and i create the world i live in

This has got to be the first time a lazy Quebecoise and an redneck Albertan have ever agreed on anything.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Oh and if you rub seabass oil into your nipples... It makes them bigger.
But sadly it stops everyone from sucking on them.

starting to believe in god after year you have not is NOT being wrong - it's learning and choosing a new path.

and fear? fear of being wrong is nothing compare to fear of death which is what believing in after life is all about.

through the year it became clear to me why people created an explanation to everything that is unknown or unknown controllable.

we non-believers face the monster of truth.

No Theo in this thread?

The concept of god is just an invisible friend for adults, nothing more, nothing less.

The problems arise when people start trying to take advice from their invisible friend as to how to interact with others.

I couldn't agree more. I truly admire people with such strong beliefs and wish I had them myself sometimes.

I think where the problem arises is that many people with such strong beliefs are also religious activists. Thats why people like yourself get wrongly attacked and lumped in with the religion pushers.

my reincarnation theory : why do you think we've been burying bodies for years and years?? this shit is cycles...eventually the planet'll heat up, the ozone layer or some shit will allow it to be burned again and we will all die (or may be we were already dead at that point, its not important)..but even if youre not in one piece, youre still there, were all still there...so the planet'll mix up during i dont know how many years..then the dinosaurs'll come again, the planet will slowly move away from the sun, freeze again, and thats when we come in to play. so i predict that in X million amount of years, I will be making this post again on GFY without knowing I've ever done it. Cool isnt it? Useless but so are seasons and shit like that. its all cycles.

Hey hang in there old chap, at least no one has seen fit to blaspheme the tooth fairy.

Wtf?

How can a guy in porn biz ask this question?

GFY is probably more open minded than a God :)
I don't think a possible God would like us selling Facial Abuse and shit like that for a believing person it is more relevant to ask yourself

Does God have something against GFY?

what does belief and porn biz have to do with eachother?

i obviously believe in a God that has nothing wrong with porn, i for one have 0 moral issues with it, i see sex as a possitive thing not a negative, north american society for some odd reason has it plastered infront of their face all day but at the same time tries to hide it behind closed doors.

if i am not mistaken yearly the earth is moving closer and closer to the sun, so eventually we will be thrown off our orbit crash into the moon, and then die a slow sun burnt death as we casacde into the giant star they call the "sun". :1orglaugh

God is Brazilian

i thought your god is ralph klein?
