    Why do people believe in God?

    Everytime I get into a conversation about God with somebody debating Gods existence, their only defense agaisnt my concrete solid evidence that point away from things that the bible says, is your going to burn in hell for thinking that way.
    All of science point away from God, if there is a God he sure in the hell isnt doing anything except for putting people in hell for not believing in him. I believe the bible is nothing more then a collection of stories that was used as a tool to teach primative society basic morals and its still used today, none of that shit happened, am I wrong?

          I agree, but we still are a primitive society.

              I think it gives people hope and a sense of belonging.

              Everyone needs something to believe in when times get hard.

              Most people are followers and its a great way to control population in large numbers.
              Its also big buisiness.

                      btw, god and religion are two completely different concepts. in many circumstances, they are actually in opposition with eachother...

                      but why bother discussing

                          How is it that God is a completely different concept then religion, wasnt religion built around God?

                              Maybe it is a necessary evil. Is it really so bad? It makes people feel better to believe there is someone out there who loves them is watching over them. If someone has a crummy life and their belief in God or some afterlife gives them hope and inspiration to carry on through tough times, I am not going to take that away from them.

                              I do believe in God, just not the guy you read about in the Bible, etc. I think religions have customized him to suit their own needs.

                                  We have been taught that their is a God or Higher being since we were born.
                                  Try raising someone in a box or isolate them from society and see if he or she believes there is a god.

                                  It gives us comfort since we are here for such a short time. And it gives us reason to live and keep going.

                                          i really don't feel like getting into this right now, but...

                                          you should read some Kierkegaard. Particularly 'Fear and Trembling'. It's pretty obtuse reading - but there is something to be learned from it.

                                          A full-on christian - yet he thinks religion, especially the church, takes away from any relationship you might have with god.

                                          Regardless, god can mean many things - high mathematics, higher physics, maybe simply what caused a big bang to occur, etc, etc, etc. and have absolutely nothing to do with organized religion, or 'church'.

                                          "Wherever there is a crowd there is untruth."

                                                      Weak minded people need to denigrade those who have different opinions than them .
                                                      Einstein , Newton and many other great scientists believed in God . Perhaps some of the people posting in this thread are smarter then these people , but I am not . There have been geniuses on both sides of the question .

                                                          That's why I don't get into those discussions. People can believe what they like as long as they don't push it on others.
