That's how I see it too.

This is a 2004 report...it's a Pew Reasearch Poll...pretty credible.



Now see what happens when too many people vote on their faith rather than for competence?

I plagiarize myself:


The universe might, or might not, have a 'first cause'; or a deliberate creator.

There might, or might not, be an omniscient entity which interferes in human affairs.

There might, or might not, be a 'source of love' which you find if you look inside yourself.

There might, or might not, be a 'voice of guidance' which you find if you look inside yourself.

There might, or might not, be a spirit which permeates all space.

There might, or might not, be a single entity that is responsible for influencing all of a particular set of writings. (Like the Bible or Koran or whatever).


If any of these exists, someone might label it 'God'.

If two of these exist, one might be inclined to call them both 'God' and think that one God was responsible for both...but to me, those are all separate questions, which may or may not be related.

Its always seems sad to me when someone thinks they are arguing for the existence of a particular God when they argue for a 'first cause'.

what happens,,,someone posts a picture?

I like this answer ,,,"God is the FATHER of all fathers". I think of who my father was to me and that(for me) is what God is to mankind.

He is Alpha and Omega, the 1st and the last, the beginning and the end. God is a spirit, not seen with the natural eye but with a spiritual eye. You must first believe, have faith, and seek him to better understand. The relationship become personnal.

amen

God will never die. God was here before time.

According to, "what" ?

why according to what? Jesus himself, son of God, came to earth to teach us these things and did miracles as an example of what God does for us, what more do you need? Ask and it shall be given the bible tells us and let me tell you it is so true.

Dude, it's futile...

God is: Santa Claus for adults.

So you're disputing the beliefs of other religions?

What's to say your religion is the "correct one" ?

I don't believe in a religion thank you very much. I believe in the truth. It is put into the religion category for narrow minded people. All will know the truth one day and i pray that everyone finds it before it is to late. It is considered a religion instead of the truth because of people that don't want to offend someone and proclaim it to be truth. Cause the bible we have no yes was wrote after Jesus. But the bible we have now consists of scrolls that was written in those times. But because of the things that is said in the bible it has to be considered religion and not the truth as to not offend people that don't believe in God as of now. So therefor it is not considered historical.

You obviously believe in a religion, and that is Christianity. To think
you don't believe in a religion and that other's elect to pigeon-hole
you into one and to say they are narrow-minded because of that,
demonstrates a lack of ecclesiastical understanding.

Have you read the Qur’an? Or the Śruti and Smriti, or Vinaya Pitaka
and/or Sutta Pitaka?

Most likely not. So you've elected yourself into a view with which
you've chosen, but might not be the views of others.

Complicate it all you want, but the simple truth is.... God is Love.

I liked this answer until I thought about it a little more, then it seemed like just a warm fuzzy answer that didn't really answer anything for anyone. If God is Love what is anger? Is that the devil. How about fear? You see my point... God would have to be more than just Love in my view, or Love would have to be way more than I think it is. I could however see Love being a PART of God, or something that God allows to exist, or gives to those who are worthy.

Whether or not God exists, or what God is exactly, or whether Christianity or Buddhism is true doesn't really matter and shouldn't have any bearing on anyone's actions or moral code. My reasoning here is that we can not know for sure about anything outside of our own experience. Thus it follows that it is only our own experience that we should draw on when deciding how to act. Treat others as you want to be treated, the rest is ultimately meaningless... until death or other revelation by a higher power. So, anyone been directly contacted by God recently? I personally am still waiting for mine.

God is love, anger and any crude emotion comes from the devil. Now love can be many things as well. Love isn't always just a feeling between two people, opening a door for someone is love, helping someone out at a hard time of their life is love and so on. God speaks to everyone if they'll listen. That little feeling you get when you're doing something wrong most everyone has called our conscience is God speaking to you. And fear comes from a lack of faith in God. If you have God with you, who can be against you? Anger is again of the Devil. Cause in all truth, if we did as we're suppose to and loved one another, there would be no room for anger at all. And again with some more love, two people haveing a pieceful entertaining moral conversation is love. Any time someone isn't being crude or mean to someone is showing love.

That is why people are relitively born rude. Because of sin, we are all born with sin because of Adam and Eve. We are born sinners and will remain sinners until we accept Jesus our lord and savior into our hearts. Then all that sin is washed away, because that is what Jesus came to earth for to be the ultimate sacrafice for our sins. Before Jesus came, people sacraficed objects and things of that nature for forgiveness.
