Do believe in God?


Either scenario is equally mindblowing.
If there is, then a higher power is in charge of us somehow.
If not, then it's a trip that we're all alone, almost as if anything we do doesn't matter.
I believe in a merciful God who we can't fully understand.

We have had so many different religions in the past, most with multiple Gods, so why would, I assume that you are thinking about the Abrahamic God, be the one and only God?

In any case I don't believe in a supernatural god. If there is a god, he's the whole universe and the laws of of universe. His body is all matter and energy.

this is 100% true, not a single one of us matters. if humans poofed away, flora would reclaim the planet, and animals would thrive

if the entire planet poofed away, the universe would continue to just be

if the universe poofed away, it'd be like smashing an aquarium that had nothing in it

However, I believe there can be "forces" of nature or the universe and aspects of humanities psyche and actions that may make "god" exist in a sense, but bound by the laws of the universe and nature, not above it in the traditional "magic" sense.

Nah. If there is, he isn't consciously aware of us, maybe checks in every couple hundred years to see how shit is going, but is pretty much like "lol I have millions of others."

The concept that he hears every living being's prayers is about as absurd as Santa delivering presents to every child in one single night. Look at our planet, no one is looking out for it. We are on our own.

God wouldn't have let you do that if He existed.

So many Disillusioned former religious folk. JusT
One. Do not murder.
Two. Do not steal.
Three. Do not have sex outside marriage.
Four. Do not commit false testimony versus your neighbor.
Five. Do not hate.

Die forgiving and repentant and voila you go to heaven.

Still it is a unique experience even if it all amounts to nothing. I mean, most people live their lives with some sort of purpose or orientation. It means nothing, but we live each fay like our lives depend on it, that feeling you get when you know, if nothing else, we are unique to be part of the fabric of this universe. It's like it means nothing but means everything all at the same time.

as I said God may exist in some fashion due to human existence. There still might be a power greater than myself that cares.

Yeah I agree, I don't think God exists in a magical sense.

Well for me it's like the eternal question, there either is or there ain't. If there ain't, I think implications of that and our understanding of the world are huge and many.

It's like the question about if there is other sentient life in the universe. We're either alone or not, and either scenario has heavy implications. I think it was Arthur C Clarke who said that.

Well I don't see him as a genie who grants wishes. God is everything, good and bad. Hell, God is responsible for more deaths than anyone or anything. He does things we like and things that break us apart, and we may never know the rhyme or reason behind it all.

it only matters because the human ego wants to matter

or because god says it matters, i guess

I believe there is a Creator of some kind.

We will never understand this Creator, for to understand it would be to become it.
