Simple as that, where you brought up in the religious field? Or did you develop the believe for God on your own?

We'll basically I was brought into this world by a catholic parents who raised me up and nurtured me according to what God wanted me to be. I couldn't deny that when I got older there were trials along the way but it didn't stopped me from believing God, it even strengthen my faith unto Him. God is the source of everything. Even though I didn't saw miracles but He did wonders in my life. God never fails, He never leave me alone.

So you say, in other words, that God to you is like a support? That is good.

God is not only my support. He is the ultimate source of my everything. Without Him I am nothing!

funny to explain really, or at least to anyone without a similar background, my mum is a Pantheist. which means that she beleves that deity is a force inherant in everything. I also believe this. however I have a view of Gods that goes a bit more distinct than them being just a force that's in everything. they also have forms they can use to interact with us. I believe in my Gods because I've experienced them. and in my religion it's not unusual for individuals to have personal experience of the Gods.

Pantheist? This is the first I heard of these religion, I would like to learn more about it if you don't mind. I am non religious but I believe in God in my own way, I cant really call it a religion because well, I think about religion in a very "offensive" way (to others it might be).

the easiest way to explain the concept of pantheism is that deity is like the force in Star Wars. it's something too big to fully understand, it's a part of everything and it's what gives us a connection to every living thing on the planet.

I was brought up to go to church every Sunday which at the time bothered me. Now as an adult I truly believe in God because of the many times he has shown me he is watching over me and hearing me when I have asked for a favor. I pray to God everyday and I thank him all the time for everything I have accomplished and endured in my 53 years on this earth.

I am a Catholic and I believe in God because of he is the father of all. He gives us blessings and He is always there besides me, my family and love one to guide and to keep us always safe. All what God wants is for us to serve other people in a good way.
