after watching youtube videos and stuff i no longer believe in god, i just dont think it is something we need as people and my dad doesnt like because he says you need to have something to believe in and stuff. i just find god hard to believe in there is no proof just a book that could be lies. i mean science makes sense but why doesnt god make sense. this is always what i think if god is pure good then nobody should be in hell but if it isnt then god isnt pure good. also there are other reliegons out there and stuff so yeah i used to be catholic

i suggest you should not give up your faith on God that easily. give God time and you see, He really makes sense. it is better to live uprightly than to live a life that is so horrible. and i firmly believe God did not made the hell for humanity for He loves us so much. He made hell for the evil. a life with someone you lean on, believe on, have faith on,is much more enjoyable and happy than living one on your own.. c: just don't give up your faith on God that easily..

munchiez, if you don't mind, do you pray to God? if yes, ask Him to show you that He really exists. God would not want you to stop believing in Him. maybe the videos that you have watched are just tests of your faith in Him.. c:

One shouldn't build their conclusion on seeing such videos. God may exist in an unknown form it is not necessary that anything divine be visible. It could even be invisible that is why it is called GOD. If everybody get access to god so easily then very species and mankind would get whatever they want then life would have had no meaning...

Hello munchiez117, Thanks for your post.First of all just ask yourself can you see the air around you? you can feel it, hot or cold air, secondly ask yourself when you talk, there are frequencies and vibrations in the air, can you see the frequencies with your naked eyes,but you can hear sounds through your ears.God has made humanbeings and humanbeings has created different religions not God himself.Thirdly, there are two forces since the creation of this world or entire universe Positive and Negative.If anybody performs positively in their lives, then he/she will get positive returns/results , karma and honesty really matters, also I believe in destiny that is the blessings or curse of God.Science is also created by humanbeings I mean the inventions, destructions etc but again think God himself is not the auther of any books, it is human beings who has written those books, also God is not just science God is Hitech Science and humanbeings/ our science till now could not reach, our science still dont know why the heart beats or the origin of electricity that we have inside our body.Just think with an open mind, if you still in confusion,go ahaed with your questions, I will try to answer. Thanks again.

very well said humbleme... Well for me, I strongly believe in god... In my own opinion, a great example is what happened in Japan. That's one of his way,in order for us to wake up. Wake up and live on the right path. In spite of different cultures and countries, maybe he wants to see us helping each other and supporting each other in time of calamities and other problems that any country encounters. And When we learn to do that, then he will be happy and we will be rewarded.

can't you see the miracles that happen to you since you were in your mom's stomach? it is can explain with science but can you think that if there is something that could harm you when you were just a fetus, you could just die. it is miracle that you have those eyes, ears, legs and other things in your body that could work properly. thanks to who?

i dont consider that proof of god to me thats science and chance at work. i mean the mom has to take care of her body nobody has to hurt her stomach. in the end the mom really decides whether i live or die at birth

Funny how some videos could make someone who believed in God totally declare that he doesn't believe in God anymore. The only word I could relate in this situation is gullibility. You must be a young person, easily deceived. Just remember the maxim, things are not always what they seem. Fools rush in where angels fear to thread, so said Alexander Pope. It takes character for a man to abide in faith. Sail along, munchiez, and discover how much more there is in the youtube, but take caution in absorbing everything that you watch as your personal conviction. That could only make your lions crossed.

Human frailty is allowed. The greater challenge is to overcome it. Do not be depressed by all the mistakes in the world. Those are glaring. Look, however, on all the positive points that lay quiet and peaceful, not attracting attention, and yet so soothing and pacifying and satisfying.

im not depressed about anyhting i just dont believe in god. god is just something people use to explain something they dont know or understand until they find out later.

i have been questioning the idea of god for a long time and i didnt just stop believing in god it happened over time. people just dont stop something all of a sudden it happens over a period of time. if you think about how much humans make mistakes think of how many mistakes were made in bibles and other books. you believe in a book that has no proof other then faith and hope

Hi munchiez.I respect your opinion but i think your faith now is just too weak because your principles have changed suddenly just by watching videos made by others. I suggest you take a break from your busy life and meditate on yourself, your beliefs and principles in life. Open your eyes and be amazed on His creation, on your life more specially. Try to open your Bible at home and read some of the passages. I know now you believe more in Science than in God. but its your choice. You have chosen to believe that you are created through monkeys which transformed later into man than in the beautiful and magnificent way of God's creation the human being.

Comedians???? are you serious? This is one of the reasons to denounce God? Comedians tell jokes, that is their profession, they are not being serious in what they say.they are there to make people laugh and yes, sometimes can be sarcastic in their remarks but,it's not to make people angry or lose their faith. since they wouldn't be very popular or have much of an audience if they did. You are free to believe or not believe in anything you choose but, please, at least provide more reliable sources than some You Tube videos or comedians as the final "push" for not believing in God.

Hi munchiez117! I just don't know what happened to you for not believing in God anymore. Hope you will trust and believe in Him again. All the things that's happening in our lives has a purpose. God has his own reasons for everything. He is not the One doing bad things to us. It's the work of the devil. Well, I can't force you to believe it but i hope someday you will be enlightened in your belief. Have a nice day!

Well, that is just really your choice. Although your Dad did not approve of it but in the end you are the one who will live in it. As for me, no matter what, I would always believe in God. Because it was not science who first created this world, the animals and the human.

Littleg, that's true. God doesn't judge. We only need to have faith on him and he will be with us. Munchiez, I believe in God, but I don't fear God. Just as Littleg wrote here I live as what I believe is good for me. About hell and heaven? I never think of those, I just believe in God and the God is in heaven. As long as I don't hurt others, it's good enough for me.

I was brought up a to believe in god and all that catholic stuff,yes i do believe in god but to sum expense.It is what you believe inside of your self that matters the most.You dont have to live your life as god tells you to or a priest at your local church, if you have faith, god will be with you, if you dont have faith god wont judge you.

Well, if you don't believe in something you just don't. Period. End of it. A lot of things don't make sense when it comes to religion and the same goes for science. Put it this way, you say water is made of something and that something is made of something else and that something else is made of something else and the list goes on and on. I used to be catholic but I found another path that makes sense to me, of course that doesn't mean that my beliefs are right. nobody knows nothing in the end.

Wow, really? You shouldn't let youtube guide how you live your life... but, back to the main topic. You really do need something to believe in. I was extremely depressed just a short time ago, and I needed to look for something. For motivation, and help. Yeah, I do agree, there really isn't much proof, and it's hard to believe. But, you can just go with it, recognize there isn't much proof, and be happy, until you die... and see if Heaven is real, too. I think it is probably better to say there is a good looking over you, and behave properly, as the Bible explains and eventually live eternally in heaven, than to be a criminal, commit many sins, and live forever in hell. I'm a Christian, and I really don't believe all they say. But if it is true, well yeah, I'd want to spend eternity in Heaven, not hell.

the reason i listen to the youtube videos is because it makes sense it is not like the videos are just ranting. they are saying that we came from evolution and stuff and it is true. and also what decides if you go to hell or heaven exactly.

munchiez, the evolution theory is very convincing. My daughter read three expensive books about the subject matter just for one term paper and told me how sound the contentions are. In fact, many of her college mates now believe this scientific theory and had abandoned religion. So I asked my daughter what she thinks and she said "I am going to be a doctor and I couldn't succeed just on my own. I need Someone high up there to guide me."

I dont know what kind of video that you've watch on youtube. it's your right to chose what is good for you. but about you're saying that God is hard to believe, is really easy for me to believe. think of the world, the universe, the sky, human, animal, plants, air, water, etc. there must be creator of these things right? and that is God. in fact for me sometimes science cant proof the existing of God because to know God isn't only through science, but through heart.

well i could also say who created god and science does not prove god you are just using god to fill in the blanks of things we dont know

Science unable to proof everything, science is a tool to improve humanity or to destroy humankind as it is today. Even a simple question such as what is life, feeling, love, hatred, thinking science unable to explain it. 100 years ago science were totally different from today, imagine what will science says 100 years from now? With new theory such as 'String' said to be the very basic of everything in the universe to the very atomic neutron, electron, question is, what is the basic of that 'String'. Everybody knows energy, but what is energy? There are a lot of different kind of energy........and scientist says, energy can be transferring through electron in the process of electricity, but science failed to prove what energy made of. So a lot of question and even scientific' s evidence proof there is GOD

Everything in the universe or multi verse ,which scientist called it, started from nothing, not zero, but absolutely from nothing to something . Until presently, even the most brilliant scientist unable to explain why at suddenly big bang appeared from nothing to something smaller than atom to what we know now,a very huge and vast universe with limitless border, and yet scientist has proved that not only a universe but multi verse that unimagined with limited human brain. The question is what or who existed before big bag? Are we the only being that lives on earth from trillion of trillion stars within trillions of galaxy in the universe? Who created it? Who controlled it in such precision ? Even there are elements smaller than atom itself , and things become confusing even the smartest scientist. Suddenly lately, then came in string theory than hold all galaxies and stars, the very basic of known universe, but that 'string' made of what? Conclusion is there must be being that created everything and that is GOD almighty.

i don't think beliefs could be altered just like that. god is very vague term. i may not believe in religion, but i believe in the existence of a god. i don't exactly know what or who a god is. it's something i rarely think of. don't just rely on books, or the media. why don't you try asking yourself. think less of god. think more on its existence. obviously, you still have a slight notion of being. as i am, too.

May be u have a different opinion than your dad but if you ask me I would say that I too was in the same dilemma and my dad told the same. But I choose to believe myself coz I am the person who will reap for my own deeds so I make the rules and follow myself. I am happy by this decision.
