Do you believe in God or a higher-power?

God is a joke. It does not exist

Fair enough if you do not believe but please do not call it a 'joke' people do and please respect that

It was my personal opinion and I didn't say believing in God is wrong or I wouldn't respect peoples' opinions. Since we're allowed to discuss about this I assume I can say how I see it. If you believe in God, fine it's okay

I believe in a God but I also believe in reincarnation and spirit animals. I'm a bit of a mismatch person .

Inb4 this thread yet again turns into a ****storm, anything that always was about religion, ended up like that :l
*takes popcorn, sits back, and prepares for the thread burning to start a few posts later*

But anywho...

Yes, I do believe in God, as well as Jesus Christ. And don't think (to me personally) there is any other higher power.

I used to definitely believe in God, but now that I'm older I'm wavering between not believing and being unsure. I guess I sit and wonder why God, if he exists, allows such bad things to happen all over the world. If he truly is good and loving, then why is he allowing people to suffer?

Like someone said earlier, I too dislike it when Religious people ram their beliefs down other's throats or threaten them with it. I have a friend who is extremely religious and she told another of my good friends that her dead father was in hell and that when she died she would go and join him, because she doesn't believe in God. She seemed very casual about the whole thing, too. It was kind of sinister. And it all unfolded over facebook so things got very ugly and heated after that.

[quote="Flip_FTW"][quote="Julie Skywalker"]^ I use those phrases too and I've never believed. I think it's just because said phrases are used so commonly by others that it's subconscious, as I know loads of nonreligious people who use them.[/quote]

Yeah I guess. Also because it's more acceptable (mostly) than swearing, especially at work and such XD[/quote]

I grew up thinking God was only a vulgar word. I never knew Jesus was an actual thing until I was 10 years old. To me, it means nothing more than "Jesus, man, are you crazy?" I still say it, though, because that's the meaning it has.

I come under the category 'agnostic'. My mother and sister are very devout Christians and go to Church and neither of them have ever pushed their faith on me. Nor do they judge or shun me for living with my boyfriend so for that, I am grateful. As for whether God exists, in my personal opinion, I do not know. I believe there is something there, but I don't have a clue what and I know I never will know until I die lol.

If I wasn't a Christian I'd probably believe in Kratos. That dude kills gods on a daily routine and became one himself.

Nah seriously, I am not that extremely into religion allthough I'd concider myself a Christian and stick to the basic teachings, such as the holy trinity, 10 commandments, the gospel of Christ, etc. I don't bother people with it unless they are interested and I'm not your avarage church-goer.
