Here in the world, we have many religion.. Each faith have different beliefs, doctrines and rituals.. Others, would say that their religion is the right one.. and others there are many gods... and others don't believe that a God exist... Who is God to you in your life... is religion really important in our life? In my case, I believe that there's one God who creates us all and every living creatures here on earth... I have have a religion but i do not wholly believe it it... and there are many other that says that there sect is the right one...

I believe there is one God. Once you start believing in God (Jesus), things get complicated but as complicated as things get, life gets simpler and simpler as your relationship with God develops.

i think you will know by exploring and knowing everything about your religion and asking your inner self if it is right or not. by our powerful brain and heart searching for the truth together with faith to find it, i think we will know by our selves..

As God says as I quote in Isaiah 45:22,22..." And there is no other God besides Me, a just God and a Savior; there is none besides Me. Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of this earth! For I am God, and there is no other."

I believe the there is God.But I do not believe in ritualistic craft. I am open in hearing the words of God in any kind of religion. But I keep my faith in what I believe.I know that there are different religions, with different teachings, beliefs and rituals. most of the time, Religions do not agree with the other religions. I think I can name a few... Roman Catholic, Islam, Iglesia, Christians, Mormons and a lot more. All is set with different package of belief. But for me, although we are on different religions, We are believing in one thing... that there is God. Though I think, there are some sects that do not believe that God exist. I have read a lot here in mylot of people who do not believe in the existence of God. For me, it doesn't matter, what we believe... or what religion we are in. The important thing is, we do no harm to other people, we respect and love other's people beliefs, we do not kill, do not steal and follow the basic "right" things to do. I think we are in the right way regardless of our religion. God do not live in the religion, but in the heart of the people who believes HE exist. Do good... and you are following HIS teachings.

I don't believe in god. maybe there is the possibility of some kind of superior beings but not all mighty and unique. Anyway i don't believe one should be forced to worship anyone, not even a creation should worship a creator, i think a being if aware of himself and intelligent enough to take care of himself has the right to his own freedom and free thinking, unless it represents a complete danger to others. All a creator should do is to give some guidelines to the creation, guidelines that the creation is free to follow or not and hope for the best.

If you believe that there is a creator, why have you say that He is not that all mighty and unique... why have you say that?

So you believe that there is a creator? And that creator can't be God? How do you think we all came into being or how this whole earth came into being? Somebody must of done it...and the creator did give us some guidelines to live by, its called The Bible. Just wondering...

Yes I believe in God.But in my heart God reps for the goodness.He is my guide to do things towards the positive point.If I have met the bad man I will use Him to adjust my mood. Every people has their own God in their deep heart.The god is not the physical one.It only exists in our mind.

Yes I agree.But I always regard Him as my guider in my mind. When I am in unlucky situation, I will think that God will guide me to right place. God reps kind hearted,the goodness,some virtues etc. That is in kind-hearted people's mind.While in bad man's heart it is not the same. Do you agree?

I believe in God. Period. No questions asked. But I just want to share that some of my beliefs about him was kind of shattered when I came to reading that part in Angels and Demons by Dan Brown that God could be a force. Honestly, I don't know what He's like. It just shattered my initial image of Him as this Zeus-a-like God. That's all.

You cannot compare God to some mythical gods... they are nothing compared to HIM. And Dan Brown's writings has no proofs. If you want to know about who really is God, read the bible and ask for HIS guidance to understand its meaning..

Yes I believe there is God. He is up on above watching my every move. I have accepted Him as my saviour and truly believes that He will make / open a way whenever I am stuck and throughout my life He has helped a lot thru good and bad situations. I will always believe and have faith in Him as He is The One.

Yes I do believe in God. Aside from acknowledging that He is my creator, I believe and see Him as my Bestfriend. Someone who understand all my ideas, concerns and hears out my pain and anxiety.. Choosing to believe a certain religion doesn't necessarily include closing your ideas to other persons creed or religion, on the contrary it means realizing that there is really one God, though known in different names..

I listened to some guy in TV convincing people to believe in god. let me share that with you. If you believe in god and he exists .. ...............................you are a winner If you believe in god and he does not exist .. ............................. you will lose nothing But If you do not believe in god and he exist ......................... you are absolutely a loser So, He really convinced me by this simple equation that he made. Hope that was good.

Yah! i believe that there is God. because without God we are nothing. It's because He is the creator of everything, the sustainer of our lives. As what i have read in the Bible, He created the heaven and the earth, the living creature including man and women. So, no doubt that I really believe that there is GOD who created us...

There are a lot of religions out there, but most of the religions have one thing in common they all have the basic belief that God does exist. It is just that every person worships God in thier own different way.

There is definately a God and whether or not people choose to believe, there will still be a judgement day where you stand before Jesus Christ and are judged. The Bible says you are either for Him or against Him. This crazy world we live in has made it ok for all types of religions, all types of things - are they all pleasing to God, of course not. Listen, I'm not preaching to anyone, but all I know is that I lived the first portion of my life choosing not to believe in God - when He saved me through Christianity being born again. Acts 2:38 with the evidence of speaking in tongues - all I can say is that was the first time I ever experienced God's presence in my life. And once you do that - there is no longer any doubt in your mind that God is real because you've experienced it for yourself - you go from just "believing" to "being in the midst of his presence"... which is an incredible feeling. It is real - and I know some people say, it doesn't take all that. But the Bible says that without His spirit He does not know you and you won't enter into Heaven... it's good to know that you do have His spirit, and not have to wonder about it. Also - it's His spirit which keeps you and helps you live out His commandments.... we can't do this on our own.

God is our guiding force.. without Him we are nothing.. and i believe, we owe our life to Him, who is our Creator... as Ellen G. White says, " Above the distraction of the earth God sits enthroned. All things are open to His divine survey, and from His great and calm eternity He orders that which His providence sees best. "

I do not believe in religion. i believe in spirutuality. God to me is a guiding force that i find in myself and in people around me. A force that keeps me going. A force that guides me through the right and wrong. The rituals and beliefs mean nothing to me, nor do the numerous sects in different religions. It is not important what religion you follow. The essence of all religions is basically the same. As long as your faith and actions do not affect you or the people around you in any possible way, that should be it.

In my opinion... religion doesnt saves us... the important thing is that we behave in a way God wants us to be.. and God is a Spirit..
