Are you an athiest or do you believe in God

[Adrenalin]

It seems the last few years there have been more and more people bashing believers than I can remember ever before. I'm just curious how many on this site believe, compared and how many don't.

I'm not up for a debate, just the poll results. However debate away if you want and have fun.

Btw, the poll is private if you don't feel like being dragged into a debate.

< Neither, I don't know.

I spent a lot of my teenage years dwelling on this shit. Just to many things don't make sense to me. So many different religions out there which one is right? It seams every couple years someone makes something up to better fit their beliefs.

Would rather not waste my life and money on something that doesn't exist. "he her it" never gave me a reason it believe.

Well I was dragged to church all tha way through my teens too and yea it did ruin it for me i choose not to go but I pray daily. And its great to have ur own opinions it frustrates those of us (christians) when u get those crazy nut jobs that scream out "LOVE GOD OR GO TO HELL"!!! Well even though the church tells us that and I believe it I'm fine with people having their own beliefs and having their own opinion as long as they don't sit their and say I'm wrong for I believe when I respect them enough to let them have an opinion. Yea I believe in God and the bible. But Hypocricy(sp?) is one of the biggest problems with christianity and thats wat makes some people just not believe. But thats my .02. Sorry for tha long post

god is my buddy. i know i've done alot of bad things already but im paying for my mistakes. now i dont beleave in any "one" religion but i do study what i can. i dont pray as offten as i should but i have my own way of doing so. i had a broken church as a kid, they pissed me off and i started going to other kinds of churches. thats when i saw they all have the same "rules" for the most part so now i try to find out what they atleast all agree on.

i've never liked going to church. my mom used to drag me to a lutheran church when i was younger. it was so boring. and the things i would hear them preach about always seemed like common sense things to me, but they wrapped it all up in witty little stories to make it more appealing.

i guess i kinda feel like there are people who need religion and those who don't. the guiding principles are really nothing more than knowing right from wrong and having a good grasp of common courtesy and common sense.

whether you believe in God or not is something that is inside each person. to me, that seems to be the only thing that isn't right or wrong.

< Is A God!!!

:):)

[Scott]

I believe in a higher power ( God) but I am more agnostic than religious. I think it is a combo of a few things.

[79 pace car]

i don't really believe in any higher power.there are to many "gods" to believe in. i guess if it makes someone feel better to believe it's good. i personally don't like organized relegion, i think it's the biggest scam out there.

[mainevnt]

as a cancer survivor i believe in god...not cuz of the bible i never have read on sentence ....but because of my conscience wen sumthing told me not to do sumthing and i did it anyway and then got in trouble for it...after a point i started listening
and to me that was god.

...however

i hate religion, church and politics...too much
Hypocrisy

I personally think that there is no true "Athiest".. Just those who don't want to admit to not knowing all.

Take a look at every bill... says on it.... "In _____ We Trust"....

America was founded on the principles that said/says there is a God... Just find it hard to comprehend that people would live in a place that was founded on something and turn around and not stand for the same thing.

My 2¢

I thought America was founded because England was founded on the principles said/says there is a god.

I'm probably more agnostic than I used to be, only because I don't think you can rule out a fully functioning universe created 10 minutes ago with everyone's memory pre-programmed, but no, I don't think any god exists.

[fastisfun]

Agnostic here. I actually wrote a paper on this subject but my Christian professor didn't like it to much. It seems to me that religion was created to give people a hope that when they die, they will go to a better place. The second reason is if you look back in time, rulers and kings pressed religion on there people to make them fear going to hell or whatever and thus, they act like a good (enter religion) and you have less crime and a better society.

Edit: I believe there could be a higher power but would need some proof of existence.

[smokeshow]

LOL.. so your national anthem and your pledge of allegiance to your country does not matter? And I meant the Declaration of Independence.. But thanks for the great research skill display... What about your currency? Why do all of them have it on them? I am not saying that you have to believe in "GOD"... just saying that denying the presence of a higher power is kind of silly.... but you are entitled to your POV... and I appreciate the banter...

That was nicely said. I have never liked church. I don’t like the idea of a large group of people blindly following a select few their whole lives basically accomplishing nothing, just because its in a book. I’m really done trying not to offend people on the subject. To me religion is a poor mans disease or for those who are morally weak. Nothing Christianity preaches is anything more than common sense, and the way any decent human should act. To me religion is a nice way to feel good about yourself when you lay your head down at night.

[blackonefifty]

lolol i believe in god

till a tree falls on my car and the insurance company says it's an act of god ..

aaaaaand then i'm a hardcore athiest :lol:

JFWY. DrDirt pretty much summed up how I feel.

[dk1989]

Humanist/Agnostic here. I don't believe in there being a god. I believe everything that happens is because of a reason that can be proven and most of the bad things that happen are because people have something to do with it, not because god is mad or your being sucked in by satan. I have read the bible and multiple other religious readings just so I could understand how people are thinking better.
