What is your belief about God?

July 16, 2008 11:00am CST
Ironically, there just seem to be so much antagonism whenever someone discusses anything about God or religion. It's confusing how different religions would claim that theirs is the real God, yet most beliefs are merely an interpretation of how the "universe revolves around them." I am inclined to believe that there is a higher being. I don't really kow how else to explain every single "miracle" that is life.

I believe that God exists but that He isn't terribly active in the world today. I beleive that Jesus was sacrificed for our sins so that GOd wouldn't have to babysit humanity anymore (or punish people for every imperfect thing they do). I beleive that He hears and answers prayers and that he rewards people who are faithful to Him with an ever-deepening knowledge of Himself. I believe that God exists as a Trinity: God the Father, Jesus his Son and the Holy Spirit that indewells every believer. A lot of people have trouble with this concept but it really is simple: Water exists in three unique states each with different jobs to do. It can be steam, it can be liquid or it can be ice. These are three different representations of the same thing. They're all hydrogen and oxygen but they take on different forms. So it is with God: one God, three parts.

I am not athiest, but I don't agree with all the religions I have come across about what "God" is. I don't think there is a conscious God that looks over us insignificant human beings, but I do believe in the laws of the universe, that we will never be able to understand. Who knows, maybe our galaxy is just a part of a cell on another organism, if you look at the size of our universe we are so so small. I think science can explain everything in the universe, and that there are laws to everything, laws that we will never be able to grasp.I don't really believe in the traditional God, but I more see science as a God. Energy is never depleted, when we die, our energy is converted to something else in the universe, so in a way we don't die completely, just in the mortal flesh in blood aspect, and I sort of see some spirituality in that simplest law of science.
