does god exist? (Jesus, ritual, beliefs, church, bible)

[scratch]

I think the word of the gospel or whatever contridicts alot when it comes to it talking about the existance of god.

I think all of you should read "A short history of nearly everything"

By bill bryson. That books good i haven't read it all yet but it explains pretty much a short history of everything. Except the good thing about it is, it tells about all the faults that scentists made and various mistakes in science. It also explains how a lot of controversy between science, religion and politics.

HOw some people were killed becuase of there scientific beliefs and theories , because religion couldn't handle there beliefs as such.

Now i know your gonna say that's a book just like the bible how can you believe its theories and facts over the bible. The reason i like this book and take to it's saying more than the bible is because, it's not trying to force any beliefs on me, also it doesn't contradict itself like the bible, it gives you clear cut intresting stuff about life. The bible kind of goes all off in some mumbling direction until you forget what it was talking about in the first place.

Cheer, Cheer.

Does god exist?

Did you have a good day?

You can believe god exist like you believe you had a good day. Some people might not believe you had a good day, or that they had a bad day, but that is their day and not yours. They can't tell you how your day was because no day is the same for anybody.

Damori-- You would have to define "good day". Likewise, we need to define "god" in order to make a decision on his/her/its existence.

Pretty much this whole thread we have been implying the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God (an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent and all-good personal creator god)...however, there are many different gods that people believe in. For example, transcendentalists believe God = Nature. I believe in nature, so therefore I "beleive" in that definition of God. Likewise for the definitions "God is energy" or "God is love".

it's quite long but very good.

If God was created then he who created him would then be a superior being and maybe it is him we will be accountable to

Is anyone out there wanting to discuss different spiritual views

Can I say with 100% scientific accuracy that god exists? NO
Do I believe in 'god' anyway? Yes.

I dunno' I just get a special 'warm fuzzy' feeling when I'm doing my spiritual thing and getting closer to creator. Personally I think that is enough validation for me.

but don't get me wrong, science is cool too.

ps. roli, I think you will find most of us are here to do just that.

Come my way.

Anyways, God exists to those whom believe he exists. The best thing to explain this whole thing, is, If you want to believe in God, then he exists, to you.
If you don't believe in him, then to you he doesn't. It is all about the faith of your beliefs, people.
