What is your view on God?

Are you a believer?

or

Do you believe in a higher being but not in religion?

or

Do you believe that we are just here by chance?

Please explain :wink:

I beleive in God

I dont swear in court on any book then i believe every book is somethingtodo with god

I m Muslim but not the strict one . (beleiving to help the poor , being a good man , scared from the god but not scared from death , beleiveing heaven and hell "but sometime i think they we having it when we are alive"and smilar things)

What you wish for people it will come back to you same think in life.
Say you want i have a poor life and you are jeolus then you will have a poor life and smilar. God power .

Always in my mind is a question that religion may not exist and it was kind of philosophy which made by clever people .

The short answer is: I don't know but I highly doubt there is a God or anything similar.

What is certain is that even if there is something "higher", nobody on our tiny planet in a corner of the universe could have possibly known about it. And even if something "higher" exists, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is God. Everything is relative on our universe and the "higher" could simply be higher to us in a similar way that we are "higher" from one cell organisms.

What is even more hopeful thinking is that not only this "higher" exists, but that it also gives a shit about us.

Religions are created for three reasons:
1) They help people psychologically to deal with things like death, illnesses etc.
2) They give some (fake) answers to some huge questions that people need to know. People are not satisfied with an answer like "we are too insignificant to know the answers for most things"
3) Religions are used to manipulate the crowds

I believe in God too, I am a Catholic, I also agree with Piratis about Human beings needing God and Heaven psychologically, how else can we get over some of the terrible events that can happen? Like a Mother watching her baby starve to death - if there wasnt something "better" somewhere for that baby you would go raving mad - I know I would.
