Do you believe in God?

[gotham123]

i dont really think that this can be a simple yes or no, after all there is no real definition of god he/she/it could be anything, maybe love itself is god maybe the universe is god, maybe there is a man in the sky, or maybe Nietzche was right and God is dead because we ****** him

people need the comfort of knowing or believing that there is something out there that is more powerful than themselves, some choose to believe in god, others don't, neither are wrong it's just a different answer that suits a person's needs. Personally i think there are certain laws of existence (good/evil, cogito ergo sum) or ****** that i follow and could go on and on about, but im sick of typing so i'll leave it here...

Yea

This is a trailer for a new movie coming out, I'm probably going to go see it. It's a documentary where a guy goes around the world just finding out about different peoples' beliefs in god(s).

I do not believe in god, I am an atheist.

I do not believe in god, I am an atheist.

truly? really?

i don't mean to pick on you, or single you out, but a lot of people throw the word atheist around very lightly.

you believe in no higher order?
you believe in no god?
you believe nothing but fire and whatever started life and this universe?
you believe you are just random genetic material that evolved?

tough pill for me to swallow, and i'm sure you've thought these things through. i'm just playing the advocate here.

Dane Cook's thoughts on an atheist.

You're an Atheist. What does that mean? What happens to you after you die? Now he gets really serious like he's about to school me. Okay. Oh I can tell you young man. I can tell you. I KNOW what's going to happen to me after I die.
After I pass on, my body will become one with this earth. From there, I will become a fertilizer for this planet. And with that. I will return as a huge, beautiful tree

I hope when he dies he does become a tree. I hope he's in the middle of the wilderness and he's doing his tree thing. Whatever it is trees do. I know they do alot of work with breezes. And wouldn't it be fantastic if while he was out there just enjoying his treeness. Through the woods a huge, sweaty guy with an axe comes along. Sees him. Chops him down. Smash. Put a chain around him. Drah him through the mud and the muck. Put him into a sawmill. Grind him up. Then you pound him down into paper. And once he's paper. You print the Bible on him.

Just a funny comedy bit, i could give 2 shits what your religion is.

 

[horny nikka]

I believe in a higher power, but I do not follow the doctrines of any religion.

 

[Cpt.Obvious]

Sure there is a God... Briana Banks! Why worship something that doesnt exist when u could be worshipping something as maginificent as Briana!? The idea of a supreme ruler, since when is that a good thing? What comes to mind to me is the ruler making people serve him. Doesnt sound like what christian nuts say heaven is.

Infidel!!!! The only true God is Jana Defi, you will bow down to Jana or there will be Jihad!!!

seriously ....

Do I believe in God, A God, Or Your God?
as Jason's point and my joke comment makes the point.

and I keep asking the question and never get an answer.
What is the deal with the Born again Christians at a porn message board?
Isn't there a no wanking and coveting clause in that club?

I'm not just an athiest, I'm an antitheist. Religion is not benign. Its a crutch for the unthinking, the disinterested and the stupid.

Antitheists of the world unite.

 

[busenbust]

Antithesis ?? LOL.

Love it! :thumbsup:

That is one of the most ironic statements I have ever read in my entire life.

An antitheist - someone who is against the idea of believing in a god (as a whole, or just one specific god) and the organized religions that worship said god(s) - wanting to unite with other antitheists, AKA - organize, in order to denounce the existence of deities and the people who, as a group, believe in them...???

Gee, I don't know, but that sounds really familiar. Hmm. People with the same set of beliefs, all gathering together and uniting with other people who believe in the same exact thing to uniformly practice and discuss their set of beliefs with one another...:dunno: Man, where have I heard of this before? Oh, wait, I know...

RELIGION!!!

:1orglaugh

 

[Will E Worm]

Chef is correct.

Mshort, is a member of his own organized religion.

The same thing as Atheist and all the rest.

Do you take up offerings and have cake and coffee at your meetings?

Actually, since you meet to **** a certain group of people and God Himself.

You are a **** group. Have fun with that. :hatsoff:

 

[jjo_is4]

I'm shocked! :eek: According to this poll, less than 50% of the members of freeOnes believe in GOD. Lord help us. :helpme:

 

[Jason z]

51.21 % of rationality but Lord help us.. The lord has been helping man forever. I.E. Twin Towers, The Holocaust. If the Lord didn't help us then he sure as hell wont help the great members of Freeones now.

 

[Mrs Jolly]

As Christopher Hitchens has to boringly point out everytime he appears in public - there are no set of core "beliefs" for atheists to rally round. An anti theist is not believing in something, he is actively opposing religion. Actively opposing racism, bigotry or Manchester Unitred are not religions either.

Should athiests or anti theists organize? Well that all depends on whether you see religion as a hostile or benign ***** in the world. If, for instance, you are convinced that it sustains human suffering doesn't it make sense to join ****** to oppose it?

 

[kato675]

what do you mean when you say: God ??? That is the first question...

 

[busenbust]

@MJ

^^Perhaps it's a case of inertia winning out. Doing nothing, saying nothing: the easiest 'choice'. But a cop-out nonetheless.... ???

 

[drf]

No I don't, I believe in people. I don't ridicule or talk down to people that do however because I am from an Irish-Catholic familiy and that was a big part of what made me what I am today so I still identify with that part of my life on some level and to do so would be hypocritical. There is no right or wrong answer to the God question anyway. Does anyone truely know if God exists? No. How could you? I sure as **** don't. It's a question of belief not fact.

I love people, I love my ****** and friends. That's where my strength comes from. They are the ones that tell me I am worth something and that I am myself loved.

Right! Try praying to god for something! Fucking nothing . Prayer is talking to yourself.

 

[Jason z]

Yeah.. Great point Nester6. When your sick don't take antibiotics, PRAY!! Imagine the arrogance these religious nuts must have to continue to take on the old fight against Darwin and evolution. Next I challenge on Louis Pasteur! This is just another case of people who are so stupid, they don't know how stupid they really are. Science is so much easier this way. God created everything!
