Thread: Why do YOU believe in God?

I'm interested to see. Christians and/or other monotheistic religions only please. These means no arguing-just state why. If your reason is clearly void and not on the list; I will point out why; but lets not make this an attack thread. Merely a justification one.

Void reasons are as follows:

"Because the Bible says God" If this is your reason; why do you believe the Bible? Is now the question- feel free to answer that.

"Because I was raised a Christian" - You could have been raised to believe in Thor, etc. Doesn't work as an argument.

"Because if there was no God than nothing would matter"- So what if nothing matters? You matter. If there is no God, you matter just as much as you would if there was a God [I will explain this on request]. One reason I hate monotheism is it kicks humanity down.

"Because there just must be.. like.. lol" -Think about it and come back.

"Because if there is a God it is a better world than if there isn't" ...Right, same goes for if there are teletubbies on the moon. It would sure be a better world if there were.. this does not mean there is. Thats just wishful thinking. [Also I believe it would actually be a horrible world if God existed, but that's another story]

"Because, faith, lol" -I have faith in Lord Sauron being real. 4 real.

"Because of Jesus" -See "why do you believe the bible?"

"Because we have an inherent sense of morals" -Just don't. If you really want to know why.. say.. but.. It would tangent the thread to hell.


OK. So, why do YOU believe; without using any of the above points?



This is not an attack on monotheism. This is merely a question. Do not feel the need to defend
your religion. Because I am not attacking it. Simply justify it.

Because life (as in living things) is too complex and intricately designed to not have a designer. Not only do things work on their own, but they work together: the systems of the body, how we provide CO2 for plants and they provide O2 for us. (How do you get subscript on this forum?)

I'm assuming you don't believe in Natural Selection then?

If you mean in terms of evolution, nope. I've seen scientific evidence against evolution, and it is more compelling than the evidence for it. It's overall a very fragile theory. From what I've seen, research for it goes against standard scientific research. They try to find evidence to fit their theory rather than build a theory around the evidence. It does not have the purpose of enlightening us, rather to defy God so that immoral actions are justified.

Uhh.. OK.

I won't say why you're wrong in here; cus this ain't a thread for teh arguments.


However; if you would, It might be worth making a new thread explaining exactly why you believe this. Also why even if design proves a god, why it would still be alive; be good; or be anything like the christian or muslim one.

Either way; don't reply in here. If you wanna take it up; make a thread. This thread stays CLEAN.

True enough. I doubt I will. I don't know all the arguments and evidence off the top of my head, so I'd end up having to do alot of research, and I'd rather do other things. Like viva la the fall of capitalism!
Anywho, I also believe in God because lulz! (I'm just yanking your chain [don't try to take that in a sexual sense])
