I don't believe in the existence of a higher being or conscience. I do believe, however, in Human Will.

Name some that arn't stupid little things that could have been translated wrong. Dates don't count because the calanders are wrong and have been changed. I beleave in God and I agree no one will ever be able to comprehend him/her/it/billy corgan. Why not beleave. It seems like a bleek and dull existance without something to beleave in.

I don't believe in God, but i really think that God has nothing to do with todays society. All religion does is get in the way and couse problems, I think our lives would be alot better without religion.
I believe in myself, I've gotten myself to were i am today no help from God or anyone else just me.

You could still believe in some form of higher existance, or something beyond death; without following religion.

I believe in God. I believe in heaven.

..heaven seems like a kinda selfish idea though... so if there is no heaven I'd like something similar to lifestream in FF7. Everything on the planet has some kind of life energy.. people, other animals, plants, etc.
When you are born you take some of the collective energy stored in the planet and it is your lifeforce. When you eat you are absorbing the lifeforce of a plant or animal.
When you die you return your lifeforce back to the planet. It gets split up and dispursed to all the new people/animals/plants that are born.

I reckon that's a nice idea. ...still, I'm hopin' for heaven :)

I can relate to this type of thinking, many of my friends feel the same way. It's just that if I'm going to believe in something, base my life on this something; I'd like to know where this something is coming from. Nobody can even come to close to a viable explaination, but I've read a few strong explainations for why god doesn't exsist. In my mind it seems far more logical to believe what I can see, and what is in front of me rather than believe in what some church with questionable ideas raised me to believe. But hey, whatever works for you

I dunno, I reckon it's harder to logically prove that something doesn't exist.
I know what you mean though. It's a tough call being asked to believe in something you can't see or measure.

i dont believe in god. but i dont bother myselft with such nonsense. even if there is some higher power guy, he doesnt give a shit about earth. there are 1,000000000000000000000000000000000000000 planets in the universe, why does he care so much about measly little earth. think about that

i go to catholic school and they pray before every class. i just sit there and say nothing. they cant force someone to pray.

if gods real, hes nothing like we think he is. cause we follow the bible and all the other religions, but what do those people know that i dont. i can make my own religion and it would be just as acurate as christianity....islam etc

Well for now i'll just name one simple thing the prehistoric era the bible states no mention of dinosaurs and states that adam and eve were the first humans?what about the cavemen?

I believe in many things just not god.Mainly because i have no reason to i have seen no prove of his existence nor do i find honoring and paying tribute to something I do not belief exists is not satisfying in any way.If there was a god why do different cultures have different gods who is to say that christ is not real but buda or anyother god is or vice-versa.
