    What you should be asking is that, does it hurt to believe in someone higher power than us? Believing in God or to someone with higher power is something that all of us will have to deal with. Some people who do not believe in God because they believe more in the saying that, "To see is to believe". They believe more to explanations of science and they will only believe something when they felt and experienced it. There are also the types of people who do believe to higher power or God because they believe that everything in this world is created by him. Everything in this world is planned and created by God himself. The do what is ought to be right because they believe there is a reward in heaven and avoid doing things which are called worldly sins because they will be judged and condemned to Hell if they do so. On the other hand, there are the so called Atheist who does not believe to someone higher power or God.
    I personally believe that there is someone with greater power than us. You won't lose something if you believe.

    In every single Civilization in the world, and even thousands years ago, almost all people have been believing that there is one or more gods who are controlling everything around us, so how can that be wrong?

    Personally, I believe that there one god "Allah" that controls everything around us, and I also believe in destiny and everything will happen is already been written.

    I believe that God exist. Our existence alone can prove that there is God and that God is the one who made us and gave us life. If Charles Darwin is right about the evolution of man, then the monkeys or apes in the forest would have turned into human beings and those newly evolved apes would be running around. But no, there's this thing called "birth."
    I believe that God exist and He is always beside us. If you are contemplating and doubting about God 's existence, read the Bible and or sorround yourself with believers.

    God is real. I study his word and everything it says is true. He says many will not believe and be drawn of their own lust and worship their own Gods. So all those who do not believe God talks about you in his word. And just because you do not believe it does not make it not true.

    GOD does exist. There is only one Supreme Being and he is all that we are or ever will be. I believe as a Christian there is no one or nothing above God. Above all I believe God’s true message is love.

    I belive that there is God because if there is no God who created everything in this world, then we could have not existed. In everyday that we open our eyse we could tell that there is really a good God who wakes us up. God exist and it's not a myth.

    Yes! I surely and definitely believe in God, I know that many would disagree but I tell you the truth! GOD DO REALLY EXIST! How did I know? Because I've personally experienced Him. It is not just the chemicals on my brain that says, "There is God" neither it is not just what my society or my parents tell me that, "There is God" I believe in Him because I know Him, I believe in Him because I felt His presence, I believe in Him because my life was totally changed! LITERALLY CHANGED! Many of us do not believe God because they have not truly searched for Him; many do not believe that God do not exist because of the many problems today that has not been solved. Every mistake of mankind has been always blamed towards God, and if God provided solution all throughout the history, if every problem did not occurred, then what will be the use of HEAVEN?

    I do believe that God exists, but not simply because "the Bible tells me so" (which it does). Still, however, this was a decision I made fully aware of all the data. I looked at science. I delved into the laws that govern the universe, and the reason why we're even here, and it came to my attention that maybe we all start off asking the wrong question. Instead of asking the God question to start with, maybe we should consider why we're even here. Why do we have something rather than nothing? If non-life creates non-life and out of nothing comes nothing, then why do we have something instead of nothing at all? In short, there had to be something. So this leaves us at a crossroads. If there had to be something, what was it? Really (once you boil down the prospects), there are only two possibilities: an eternal universe, or an eternal God. So which is it, you ask? Well, where does the evidence point? Eternal universe, or eternal God? My vote goes to eternal God since all key evidence such as Einstein's theory of relativity, the fact of the expanding universe, the laws of thermodynamics, and even the Big Bang theory itself show that the universe is not eternal. It had a beginning. Notice I have not once used a single biblical reference to reach my conclusion. This was simply the most logical choice, given the evidence. So there's my stance.

    Yes God exist. I'm a goddess you are a god, god is just a title. Now God that the bible talks about actually has a name Yahuah. If your title is man does anyone go around calling you man all day. Proverbs 30:4 at the ask what is his name ? and what is his son's name? The crap about women being second. Look women were made to be help mates, Obama was made to be President, The eagle was made to fly. We all have a position to play just take the role handed to you and be the best you can. People like to say they don't believe because bad things happen. It was meant from the beginning, he made the sun and the moon, the good and the bad. People get sick and die because the wages of sin is death. Bad things happen because you have to be tested. How can you know your strenght if it not pushed. Don't wait for the pastor to tell you look it up. It' in the book. If he were meant to be a she, she would have definitely put women in charge but, because women work off of emotion the jobs HE set in place for men wouldn't be done correctly. Sometimes children have to pay for their parents sins. To stop the things you have to live by the book and still pay for what you've already done.

    It does when there are laws being enacted that either trample the rights of those who do not believe, or are a direct result of not wanting to piss off said higher power who may or may not even exist. I'm all for everyone choosing to worship whatever they want. Some people worship trees. Good on ya, then. But when there are laws enacted that allow you to force me to worship trees, prevent me from cutting down trees, or require that we have trees in public areas, then yes - belief in a higher power causes harm.

    Would you elaborate on this? I'm not following how 'birth' disproves evolution.

    Why are there only two? What about the idea of a multiverse, or string theory? Solipsism? Phenomenalism?
    Poking holes in every theory except your own does nothing to prove or challenge your beliefs.

    This is one of the most controversial topics in the history of mankind. Personally, I believe there is an existence of a supreme being who is God. I would also point out that, the knowledge of God, always relies on individual conscious.

    God really exists. We are not gods as what you have mentioned. We, some of us, are children of God... but we are not all children of God. Why? Because there are others who don't believe in on God. Why? Because there are false prophets, and false Christ. What should we do to know God? Search and go to find the truth-- read the Bible first so you should know his commandments and teachings.

    If there are people who will notice my post then ask me "why are there so many questions that concern the topic?" That's the point! We should ask ourselves first and find the answer for it (by reading the Bible). You shouldn't stuck yourselves like what you are now. At some point, you have so many questions but it will be answered if you just search for it. God does exist. God bless everyone. Amen!

    Through reason it can be proven that a supreme all powerful being exist as God. We can accomplish this by examining the evidence or evidences with logic. What if say for example sometime in the very near future man for the very first time is to able to travel and land in Mars. In doing so made a startling discovery to be taken back to Earth. What is it? You may ask. It is a working watch. One therefore could say by fact that there is not only life in Mars but also intelligent life like man. We can be sure if this even the fact that we have not witnessed who or how the working watch was made or created. No man in right mind would argue that it just simply appeared or created itself in Mars.

    Now how can we be sure that a supreme, intelligent all powerful being exist? It would be the same way by examining the evidence. What are the evidences or one of the evidence? One is Our Solar System itself. We know that the planets massively revolve in its own orbit and rotates on its axis exactly and indefinitely and harmoniously. By this we ca not deny a supreme all powerful being more superior than human exist. He is God because he only can create such things.

    Like a mystery, we may never know how a watch is doing on Mars. Likewise, we may not never know how God created our Solar System, Galaxies and the Universe. But we know that only He can create it.

    It has been apparent since I was a small child and had religion shoved down my throat, that it was all about manipulation in order to control the way people behave. I do believe in something beyond this life, however the depiction of a God who judges us and sends us to either a "good" or "bad" place doesn't sit well with me. My idea of "God" is very different from what conventional religions claim that It is.

    My beliefs and experiences have brought me to my own conclusions; that we are all of One. We are all made of energy which consists of all which exists in our Universe. I have had and have done extensive research of Near Death Experiences (NDE) and have found that consistently, those who have been to "the other side" have life changing experiences in their behaviors and their beliefs. This is based on being greeted by an All Loving Being, in which the message that we must give love to our fellow creatures and ourselves and that love is all that matters on this planet, in our earthly bodies.

    As being a believer in Christ for 13 years, I breath God's existence by faith. How can we deny his creation?
    The Bible states, "The heavens declare the glory of God;
    The skies proclaim the work of his hands. As a christian I know God exist simply because I sense his presence, and he surrounds me with his love, grace and mercy each day.

    I believe that the bible has been translated, interpreted, re-translated and re-interpreted so many times over, in so many different languages that chances are that the original (if it actually is not just thrown together by humans) is so convoluted and distorted that the accuracy has got to be questionable at the very least.

    I like you, Godsent feel something there however the difference is that I am not quite sure exactly what "That" is. I do feel it is positive energy, I do feel that it is all about love, however I do not believe that this Energy is judgemental, punishing at times and exclusive in whom is allowed into the "gates of heaven" and who is not, especially based on what one believes, was taught to believe, or does not believe, even if it is belief in God Itself.

    I understand what you are saying, but I can only relate to my own personal relationship with my Creator, I still believe though there are different translation of the written bible
    All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It discpline us and guides us into the right path, Please take the time to read the bible more often, so you could understand what I'm talking about, connect yourself to him so that he may bless you with his Wonders, and ask him to reveal his truth to you. That energy that you are feeling is his wonderful presence in your life, I wish many blessing upon your life. Thankyou for sharing your thoughts.

    I believe one must have a personal and direct experience not just with near death but a "Near God" experience. The unique experience that gives us a clear understanding what is all going on and why. An awarenes that you will never be the same person anymore. He understand that there are "invisible forces" that moves literally mountains, lands, oceans and minds which are beyond our control. Its not that easy to reach that because there is one stumbling block that one face or the deal with which is Self Deception. I do not expect everyone will understand.

    I believe in 1 God he is the universe he is the infinite being. We are all made in his likeness so to an extent we are what I would say creators as God is. He is above us though and is our source to life. There can only be 1 but he has many that help him such as his angels and then us as mini creators.
