I really don't know. My family for generations has been Roman Catholic, so I've been raised to believe there is a God. But what if people weren't raised and taught by their parents to believe one thing? I wonder if I would still believe in God then. |

I believe in multiple Gods.
I believe in One God.
I do not believe in God.
I do not deny, nor do I confirm the existence of God(s).
I believe God is a form of energy, or a collective consciousness.
Though many peoples' beliefs in this matter are similar, every individual has their own variation of what they believe. Its fascinating to me, to encounter people with different beliefs and for them to explain why they believe so. |

It's fine, I put it more eloquently the second time anyway. |

What is so special about "God" being "energy or collective conciousness" that it deserves a place on the list? Why not include "God is a bowl of steel-cut oatmeal with maple syrup and sliced bananas" as an option? Is that your belief? If so, when starting polls, you should be less biased to get better results. |

It's hard to say. I mean, looking at it from a logical standpoint, most of it doesn't make sense. For example, how was it that God could perform miracles, when it's been proven impossible nowadays? What I think is that because not much had been proven scientifically in the time of Jesus, everyone was willing to believe in miracles and thus decides to follow him. Humans always try to look for some kind of explanation to things, so they latched onto what this guy was telling him. In the long run, I guess I wouldn't believe in God if I wasn't raised Catholic. |

Not really sure what the difference between 3 and 4 is. There's no option for 'I deny the existence of God', either (not that I want to choose it). Don't know what the fifth one means. If we're allowed to use different definitions for God then I guess I don't actually have any idea what the poll is asking me about. |

i vote i don't deny nor confirm the existence of god. i'm unsure if a higher power exist but at times i do feel like something is guiding me and other times i'm thinking its just my imagination. |

God is not a separate entity but rather the totality of all. There is infinity. This infinity is one. It contains all possibilities. In order for infinity to experience itself it must view portions of itself as separate. This creates the manifestation. |

You have to admit though that even though three and four are the same, it's five that sticks out like a sore thumb. Note that the first three (folding four into three) are all mutually exclusive. The final one could be combined with any of the others though. So if you choose that one then no information is given on which of the first three options one would have chosen. |

I grew tired thinking about this "God" thing. It's interesting how people perceive God and I'm interested in reading the answers in this thread. However, I don't believe you can really say anything sensible on this topic, because the "truth" is just that we don't know. And we can't know. Ever. |

Neal Donald Walsh was asked what God would share with us , in 10 words or less. At the end of an interview. (He wrote "Conversations with God") |

I don't believe in a personal God whatsoever, that's just... very very very very..very unlikely. So no I don't believe in revelations or an omnipotent being appearing in the sky to claim its place. If that ever happens I would rather believe I've lost my mind instead of believing it's real. If there's a "God" it's probably some sort of asbtract force of nature, Spinoza's God. I call it God because there are still stuff that science doesn't have an answer for. Like how all this came to be. |

Almost my whole family believes in a God, I don't ; if there was a God, why all this misery ? |
