Honesty wanted from honest to God God believers

God believers, if you found out today that there was no God would you feel free from anything at all? If so, what would you feel free from? If not, what is it you would not feel free from?

 

what i believe isn't that anyone knows what they are talking about, but that no one has to, in order for anything to exist.

which i know is totally seperate from the question you're asking, which i have asked in this very place myself. although the way i put it, was "would they even notice", if what either belivers or nonbelievers believed, happend to not be the case.

what i FEEL is that i would be just as happy or otherwise, whether i was the only awairness that existed at all anywhere or not.

i suppose that still begs the question about something greater then ourselves. which i perceive as neither needing to exist nor needing not to, and my feeling being having experienced that it does, but also that its doing so, doesn't seem to have a whole lot to do with anything, other then our own experiencing what we feel about it.

we are only as free as our ability to not need. not everyone wants to feel free, however much they feel they are expected to say the words that they do.

well, to each their own on that one.

i think people would stop trying to be good, they would take what they wanted and kill who they didn't like. there would be chaos everywhere and nothing would be sacred...now as for me I would probably kill myself...but maybe i'd just try to life the best life possible...I don't know...there would be complete freedom...and some people, possibly including myself would crumble under the lack of pressure

 

Actually....I wouldnt change a thing , because I would STILL BELIEVE there is a God SOMEWHERE.....and NO ONE Would be able to PROVE to me anydifferent.
Its such a part of who i am .

 

nope. i'd still be trapped in this body, this world, etc. maybe you should give us the definition of god you're referring to.

 

Problem being that no one can prove there isn't a God.

But HYPOTHETICALLY if I stopped believing in God. As in I just suddenly stopped believing in teh existence of the mathematical nature of the universe being conscious. I would probably cry. I have no idea beyond that. I just have no clue.

 

Exactly.....thats why i would still believe....no one would be able to prove ENOUGH to me that he isnt real.......theres MORE proof that he DOES exist than that proving that he DOESNT

 

maybe there needs to be less discussion on god's existance and more on its definition.

 

everyones definition of God is different.....My God may not be the same as yours.....

 

exactly. how can we talk about something's existance if we don't agree on the definition?

 

The only thing im positive on is that God is the creator. The supreme being.

 

Simple, we agree that there is that one supreme being known as God , or by whatever name each person calls him, And , that who we are discussing.

 

if one person believes this supreme being is a seperate figure who will punish us for wrong-doings and another believes god is the unity of all, having no singular personality, then both may agree that one of these gods doesn't exist, while appearing to disagree.
