Is there a god? How do we know? Is he "man" invented? Why do you think we have so many religions?

What bothers me about religion controversy is that so many people are so concerned with everyone else that I have no idea how they find time for their own worship. All to often, people think they have the right to tell other people they are wrong, especially in a situation where proof is a matter of belief. This is an absolutely ludicrous concept to me. What bothers me most is that people can't leave each other alone. Okay, so someone doesn't believe in the Christian God. Okay, so in your opinion, they're going to hell. Why do you even care? It's their life, not yours. I know all of this has been said a million times, but it just frosts my peach fuzz that people think they have the right to tell me how I should think. What makes you think you have the power to direct other people's decisions and belief's? I think the people who constantly try to change other people's minds and get in fights with other believers are selfish and self-centered. Nobody granted you permission to dispute what I believe. I'm not pushing my beliefs on you, I am minding my own business. And for people to tell me I am wrong or going to go to hell simply because my thoughts are not the same as their's...well...that's just ridiculous. I think 97.3% of the population really need to get over themselves.

i agree with u 100% on this. its not right to tell others what to believe. I believe that it's all a part of god's gift of "free will".

I personally can see there is a higher power when I look at a moutian range or look into the eyes of a newborn baby. witness the miracle of birth or sit quietly on the shore of a vast ocean. I know there are scientific explanations for everything a creationist claims GOd has done or created but I chose by Faith to believe in God. It is obviously true that there is some kind of higher power it is written about or believed in by all religions. I think that the Bible is subject to interpretation.

Oh and I think that the reason we have so many reason is just that their interpretation of the higher power.

I think there are just too many unexplained things to not believe in a greater being. So, yes, there is a God. Why are there so many religions. Because, either by choice, or accident, man has free will and, because of that, we all define God and interpret his words differently.

i believe there is God, the almighty. but human is naturally defiant, following his own "will" and believing what he wants to believe instead of listening to what God has to say (i mean listening to God through his guidelines which can be found in the bible).. that caused so many religion

man made god in his own image, so although there is a god for each religion, they are all man made and developed to serve the interests of finance

i personally dont believe that there is a God but that is my own opinion i respect other peoples views and beliefs. the thing is we do not know, only in our hearts and my heart tells me no. there is no known actual proof that a god exsists. to me asking if there is a god is the same as asking "is there such things as aliens" but as i say these are my own opinions. and there are so many religions because so many people have different beliefs and whatever religion people choose to follow is what they beleive so yeah thats my views :D

I believe that there is a God! We do not know it is more like keeping fayth that he is in fact up there! I believe that the Lord is much more than man himself! I think that no religion is wrong or right as long as we all keep the same faith in him!
