I am just curious

[Tuberload]

Who here actually believes in God?

I am not necessarily trying to spark a 'debate', but if any of you feel compelled, feel free to post whatever may be coming to mind.

why not make a poll?

(Yes)

[Kaleeko]

I'm pretty agnostic, but I'm more or less convinced there is something out there. I just refuse to put a name on it. I'm only 17. I've got a lot more time to spend on the planet figuring out what exactly I believe. I'm not in a hurry to settle my beliefs. It might create a more sound faith if I did, but people that are very set in their religions do tend to not be very open to other religious beliefs. (Tend meaning it is a stereotype, there certainly are people out there that are religious and aren't "crude" to people who believe something else.)

But, yes. I believe in God. Just not in any firm set beliefs pertaining to the idea of God.

[MyndFyre]

Yes

That is good that you at least believe in something, because it means that you are probably destined to experience "spiritual awakening" sometime in your life on this planet. Please keep in mind that it does not necessarily mean that you will conform to a specific religion (such as: Catholicism or Buddhism) but you will have very firm beliefs. This will also lead to your overall happiness, and well-being. I hope that God will someday open your eyes to that which is really him.

I personally feel that there MIGHT be a higher power out there. But until he makes himself known, I will just stick to that when I die I will come back as a tampon.

[dark_drake]

Yes.

I, for the most part, agree. However, I do not necessarily believe in a god. Yes, lowercase 'g', that is how I feel about it. I do believe there maybe some ruling creature, or something similar, but the existance of a solitary being, given powers to do what he wishes... no. Or even most anything similar, no.

[wires]

Yes.  However I don't believe in what many denominations teach, especially things that are clearly stated in the Bible.

I think when someone came, raised people from the dead, cured the people with terminal illnesses, and when killed for it raised Himself from the dead and forgave us for killing him was pretty obvious that He was making himself known, but to each his own beliefs.

Yes.

It is illiterate to decapitalize the name or reference of a diety.

...Joe... You didn't capitalize himself 2nd time around.. [REMOVED] heathen.


Sidoh: I see it not as a reference to a specific deity.

Crappy topic title, but No.

I believe in the possiblity of being a god, I just don't believe in one specificly.  I sure hope I phrased that right, or I'm going to get semi-flamed.  =-o
