Is there something called God?  | | I am writing this because recently my cousin who is 13 years old asked me if I believed in God or not? I Had only little reasons to establish my faith. I said maybe it's because the forefathers in the past needed Man to lead a good life so they must have created a Superbeing. She asked me if I was badly in need of such a faith in leading a good life? I was like speechless. Many claim that every thing in this world is determined by the will of one supernatural being. The beginning of life to the end,it is He who makes things work. And no matter how much we fight the ultimate decision will be His. The growth of science and the advent of newer technology has many points to prove against this,but this has been a delicate issue and it can hurt the beliefs of millions. Today living gods too exist and do some magical things. I do not know if it is just a trick or for real. But masses form their believers. I sometimes believe something is there guiding us and making us think and deciding our fate. But on the contrary I feel its just been a big or the biggest hoax ever in History. From the Holy books to the shrines,temples,churches and mosques,all has been designed and narrated by the Man. I have read a few Holy books and for me it is just a novel that shows morals and principles to live with and I feel that it has been written with an intent to guide man to leading a good life with no grudge or war. The concept of Heaven and Hell has risen as a consequence. The terms like afterlife,Reincarnation etc are like the wildest fantasies of a great fiction writer because what possible proof could he be able to produce to justify his discovery. The fear of sinning and Hell and Devil all must have spread like a wildfire in a community so superstitious many years ago. Human brain has been very creative and can cook up all sorts of things . What do you think of this? Religion and region has been a problem to Mankind creating war and communal riots and killings. Is God just a hoax or do anybody have a justification?

| | | | | | | | 1. anna04 (146) | 6 months ago | Tough question you got there.
Sure what you said that science and technology proved a lot of things but then again, did they ever proved something beyond our reach such as death and beyond? We haven't got an answer whether what really happens to us after we have died. Sure the body decays but how about our souls? Or rather, do we really have souls? That is also another question that hasn't been solved.
We have to keep our faith, even just a little because sometimes, there are times when science simply can't help and answer everything. We can't expect that everything will be answered with just science and technology.
Hmmm I hope I did make a point here. Have a good day to you thanks for the discussion.

andresimp (336) | 6 months ago | hi anna, i completely agree with you, i do not believe in "The theory of evolution" and all the scientific things proved. there is something beyond man's intelligence.i believe in God also i accept the fact that im a sinner. The preachers and priest in church just force on us something that they belive about religion and God. i used to be regular to church and attend all retreats. They give us a picture that the priests are God-like beings or angels sent from heaven. i really hate that. i agree, God wants us to be like him. but it doesnt mean that if you pray 3 times a day,read Bible, and preach, you become God. these people who call themselves Godly, look down on common people as if they havent sinned in their lives. why dont they realize that every single human being on this earth are sinners? nowadays it has become a trend for them to use religion and God as a marketing tool. They preach the same thing over and over every sundays. well, ofcourse it is necessary to know about God, his comandments and his preachings. but,shouldnt they also teach us something practical which helps us to feel better and cope with our regular life. Instead they made me feel so insecure about my own life. i doubted my own instincts and felt worse. what i learned from them is they take advantage of people's insecurity and emotional instablity and this makes them Godly and others as some drowntrodden, pathetic sinners. You can see many emotional people crying in church, the preachers are like oh GOD IS SPEAKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW, HE WANTS YOU, HE NEEDS YOU etc. when people come to church with broken heart and loads of problems would find it so comforting and consoling. that whole week, they would be doing whatever the preacher had asked them to do, like praying every single minute, giving offering to church, attending prayer meetings and involving in church activities, not going for movies, singing only Gospel songs etc. People believe that if they follow all this, God will help them escape from their problems.if their problems are not solved, they blame God. isn't that our mistake? im not saying God will not help,God wants us to wise and not fools.it makes sense if we belive our faith in God and know how face the difficulties in life', instead of blindly following what the preachers believe. i learned to seek God in all happy and sad times, be true to myself, love one another, lend a helping hand, admit mistakes and do not expect anything from others. i dont know if i really answered your question.. i wrote if from my own experice. i think each one us would learn from their experices in life which make them a better person everyday

definitelyarun (185) | 6 months ago | Well I liked the point Andresimp said. There are a lot of people falling on the feet of priests saying they are close to God. It's definitely stupid. They are just humans like us . And worshipping a Human is irrational. Also many just blindly depend on God to be their fortune bringer and pray and go to churches or temples and give offerings and donations to please their Gods. If any thing happen contrary to what was expected then the whose to blame. We have to decide our future. There are a lot of living beings on this face of the earth. And millions of organisms die every minute from the smallest of bacteria to the largest of mammals. And if every living thing had a soul then what does happen next? It's definitely not provable. And soul is just another human hypothesis. We are very creative and imaginative in life . Does any other animal think like this,or the chimps who are next to us in brilliance? Man creates a challenge which even he cannot solve. So science fails here.:)

| | 2. lotterylover (4731) | 6 months ago | While you are right in that many religions have cooked up their own doctrines I still believe in God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Any time you hear about a second chance in the next world you can know that religion is false because the Bible doesn't agree with that. That was the first lie ever told, "Thou shalt not surely die." Our life is like a one shot gun. As long as there are more than one person on the earth there will always be fights and it doesn't need to be over religion. Look how siblings flight. IT just seems to be human nature. I was just reading how so many people have been killed because of political strife. It had nothing to do with religion. Religion is just an easy scape goat. If you feel God is just a hoax then what keeps you think keeps you living? The smallest thing that goes wrong can change everything. How can the living world be just an accident. If it were an accident then we would probably keep seeing these things happen. People would be telling us how they were a monkey once instead of a king, Dr., etc in their past life. I know the way things are going I don't want to come back to this earth as anything whether it be a monkey, cow, or another person. When I die the next thing I want to see, and the Bible promised that, would be to see the King coming in all of His glory with thousands and thousands of His angels.

| ezekiel71 (71) | 6 months ago | i agree with that. I believe in God, the son and the holy spirit. The bible is the ultimate guidelines for how human being should live while we are here in the earth. Lets say i am wrong and there is no God, still its not a lost because i live my life according to my faith and i enjoyed it, BUT if i am RIGHT that there is God our creator i will have an eternal life with him and how about those who dont believe at all then? destruction is with them. We were created according to His likeness thats what the bible says, and HE IS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, he has no origin and he has no ending. He is already there even before everything begins.

| | 3. cobra1368 (518) | 6 months ago | These kinds of discussions are always interesting. I grew up a Lutheran, with a very Lutheran family. I always went to church and did what my parents wanted.
As I grew and finally left the house and was on my own, I started to realize how little I believed what I had been taught. Your description of how you view religion is strikingly similar to how I have come to see it.
Regarding souls, I don't know that we will ever find an answer to that. However, as a biologist, the fact that matter is neither created nor destroyed, leads me to the most reasonable conclusion in my mind: if we do exist beyond this life, perhaps we are reborn at some point in time in another form. Or perhaps we remain dust.
These are the things man will likely never know. But if we do have souls, I would like to believe that they repeatedly enter our world or another like it.

definitelyarun (185) | 6 months ago | Man cannot answer his own questions. And these kind of beliefs or delusions cannot be rectified or proved, because the first man to prove that 'God does not exist' will be buried even before his theory is published. So is the power of religion and fanatics and die hard God lovers will never promote such atrocities against God.Thank you for responding.

| | 4. Pose123 (5662) | 6 months ago | Hi definitelyarun, You cousin is a very bright young lady to be asking such questions and I sense a real sincerity in you as well. You have thought things out very well, even reading some of the holy books. Many have asked the question, did God create us or did we create God? It's possible that both answers may be correct. I am not thinking of God as a Super Being but rather as a first cause, and it is certain that somewhere, sometime, maybe millions of years ago, man created a God or Gods to explain what he could not understand. There is no one on this earth who can prove or disprove the existence of God. I believe that it is something that each person must decide for themselves while not being critical of others and their belief system. I feel that we are spiritual beings and I've come to this conclusion by going within, because that is where everyone must find his or her answer. Nothing outside of us can give us that certainty and I cannot prove my belief to you. I make no pretence of knowing what happens at death, but like most people have my own thoughts about it and whether I'm right or wrong makes no difference. Whatever the experience, it is the same for the atheist as it is for the believer. I believe that the superstitions will eventually go but we are still stuck with a question that we can only answer for ourselves. Blessings.

Archie0 (3141) | 6 months ago | I am an Atheist too. From my opinion, you have right to believe in anything you want(any religion) because all religions say good things...trying to make you do the right things. I don't believe god is like a a guy with big beard, i think he is in our heart. He is a figure who reduce your stress, you basically leave everything to him and if we put stress on ourselves we will get depressed. So our ancestors created god (just like Santa Claus, he is not true but he is in our heart)so we can live happily and enjoy social lives. So you don't have to argue if god is true or not, because no one seen him and if they someone to fitful their spiritual need by religion let them.

| | 5. clutterbug (823) | 6 months ago | No one born into this world is good or perfect except God and His Son, Jesus. We are all born with a sin nature (we don't have to learn how to sin, it is already in us). We don't go to heaven by being a good person, because none of us qualify. Jesus was sent to this earth to save us from our sin, and when we truly accept Him as our Savior, He sees us as His child. I can just look around me to know that God exists. He keeps my heart beating, and my lungs breathing, and when I die it will be His will. I hope you have a King James Bible or a Good News Bible, but if you don't, please consider obtaining one. Life is very short my friend, please read the Gospel of John in the New Testament, it might just open your eyes to His love and grace. Thanks for listening.

| | 6. lcdelmendo18 (514) | 6 months ago | Of course, there is God. We do not need to explain it---its faith. Until someone proves that there is no God, i remain to be a believer on Him. Its reason that reason itself cannot understand.

| | | 8. jlovetin (78) | 6 months ago | sorry to say bad i really pity you for that...if you do believe in science..my question for you is why there are things that science cant explain??because simply humans were made limited only..if there is no God..what beliefs do you believe why do we have our existence..do you even know where does human origin came from??if you do believe in science then who created all the things that we have now...cause as far as i know,,even science do also believe that there is really a supreme being who created it all before us..

definitelyarun (185) | 6 months ago | You are wrong if you are saying that this human origin was abrupt like falling from the sky. If the Big bang theory can prove the creation of a Universe and evolution can prove the development of man from primates thenwhat point has science more to prove about this. Moreover the God is a belief,a faith that cannot be proved or disapproved. And science does not believe in a superbeing.

definitelyarun (185) | 6 months ago | Yes the words-'the God resides in every person' is very appropriate. That is what every person has to understand. The very mind has to be strong and stern to achieve what one thrives for. Every single mind has to believe that nothing is impossible if God is with him or in his heart. Success will never lag behind for such people. But sitting idle and waiting for a miracle after a prayer is illogical. So it's said 'idle mind is a devil's workshop'. Thank you for replying.
