Why do you believe in a god or disbelieve in a god

[We Never Know]

Do you have a belief?
Do you have faith?
Have you had an experience?
Or
Do you lack faith?
Do you lack evidence?
Do you lack belief?

Why do you believe or not believe in a god?

 

[Valjean]

I lack evidence. Show me real, verifiable evidence, and I'll believe
God falls in the same category as unicorns or Thor: written about, believed in by some, but unevidenced.

I guess you lack the know how to vote as well. You are the first to respond and didn't cast your vote.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Have you had an experience?

Yes, but what exactly that was I don't know.

 

[Heyo]

Is a god existing impossible?

Of course not. I even can prove at least one god exists.

P1: Clapton is god.
P2: Clapton exists. (And is real and there is evidence.)
C: God exists.

Do you have a belief?
Do you have faith?
Have you had an experience?
Or
Do you lack faith?
Do you lack evidence?
Do you lack belief?

Why do you believe or not believe in a god?

Yes, to each of the first three questions.

To the second set of questions;

Do I lack faith? Sometimes.
Do I lack evidence? I lack the sort of evidence admissable either in a court of law, or a laboratory. The evidence is in my heart, and opening that up for forensic examination would be challenging.
Do I lack belief? In God, no. I know God is real; But I don't claim to know God, nor how to even begin to define the concept adequately. Doing that might take several lifetimes, or be way beyond human comprehension anyway.

 

[RestlessSoul]

Of course not. I even can prove at least one god exists.

P1: Clapton is god.
P2: Clapton exists. (And is real and there is evidence.)
C: God exists.

Clapton isn't god. He may have been touched by god, but not to nearly the extent that Ginger Baker was.

I do agree, however, that musicians and artists are great evidence for the existence of supernatural forces The best of them will often acknowledge that some other power or energy is working through them, during the creative process (over which they have only limited control).

Why do you believe or not believe in a god?

I believed as a Christian once the religion was first introduced, then eventually, over time, realized there really was nothing really there to believe In.

So I went home to that place before it all started, the default zone, and am now one without God's.

Dang! Were you at the Last Supper too?

(Just kidding. I had to, though.)

 

[danieldemol]

I don't know why I believe in God, maybe an intuition or maybe indoctrination I haven't been able to shake. Whatever it is I doubt there is objective evidence of the kind i could show to a third unconvinced party to convince them there is a God.

In my opinion.

 

[1213]

Why do you believe or not believe in a god?

My reason to believe is that life and Bible exists. I don't think we would have neither of them without God.

Why do you believe or not believe in a god?

Why?
Because of ignorance.
I don't pretend to have knowledge of anything to believe in.
How can you believe in something you have no knowledge of?
Although many claim to have knowledge of such a being I could find none who could substantiate such claims.
Why believe in something about which nothing is actually known?

 

[Secret Chief]

Of course not. I even can prove at least one god exists.

C: God exists.

It's almost as if this was a religious forum!

 

[SalixIncendium]

I've had a lot of experiences.

Do you lack faith?

In what?

Do you lack evidence?

No.

Do you lack belief?

No.

[Erebus]

P1: Clapton is god.
P2: Clapton exists. (And is real and there is evidence.)
C: God exists.

This needs repeating in every thread about whether or not a god exists or could exist.

Just about anything can be deified. You need to have at least a rough idea of what you would accept as a god before the question of whether or not gods exist becomes meaningful.

You would also need a rough idea of what the evidence for a particular god concept might look like if your belief/disbelief hinges on the presence/absence of evidence.

You've met him in person, then?

 

[Polymath257]

Which of several conceptions of God are you asking about?

Some are possible. Some are impossible. Some I could believe in, some I could not.

Some are metaphors, some are considered to be not.

I don't believe in the Abrahamic God. But I could believe in God conceived as the universe or as the natural laws. I don't believe in a personal deity.

Yes, I have had experiences. I realized them as my mind playing tricks on me.

 

[Heyo]

You've met him in person, then?

Sadly, no. But there is video evidence on YouTube.
