Does God Exist?

No. Human beings will fill the earth and be happy and healthy. Death will be gone, humans will restore the planet and Have satisfying work and awesome relationships .

 

But first, some things have to happen...
It is getting close though, hold me daddy

 

Does God Exist?

YES

 

Why doesn't he just do it then? Isn't he omnipotent? And how do you know what God's intentions are?

If you believe something deeply without any evidence (faith), that is as unethical as not caring about where your money comes from as long as you've got your money.

 

No, i think a good man once did, and his legacy lives on.

 

This doesn't follow. Like means corresponding or agreeing in general or in some noticeable respect.

 

This is moral philosophy, there are no ethics apart from it. If, then, only works within the confines of the philosophy.

 

Well if there is a god he does seem to be an asshole: What with all that goes on in our world. Most people [ not all ] seem to be concerned about some old DESERT GOD that really does seem to hate most people for the silliest reasons. He is always ANGRY about something and wants to see or have people suffer.

 

^how do u know whether God is angry or not?

 

wouldn't a god who has things eat other things be angry or cruel or something?

 

Maybe God needs to get on metaphysical prozac with all these apparent mood swings.

 

who is god?

 

Ok guys, here is my understanding...I know we must all walk as we are convinced...

God does exist...but he is not represented at all in Western Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Judaism and in Buddhist or other world religions that are from mans own heart and his own traditions.

But, He can be represented by any man who claims Hindu or ANY religion however. And for example, as long as a man is DOING the things that are of God's nature, which are Judgment, Equity and Mercy he is serving the creator. Gandhi was so Hindu he was Christian (real Christian) because Gandhi did the things out of a pure heart and out of pure love and in the nature of God....

Deut 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Psalm 25:10
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.5:10


And finally here is Pual talking about whawt I just said above, that men who knew not God served God out of the goodness of their heart, not out of tradition or other man made dogma

Romans 2
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

 

i still see no reason to assume something neither physical nor imaginary can't exist. only that its existence cannot be known.
that might seem like the same thing, but only if you imagine your own mind to be the only thing to exist.

 

What I am going to say is not directly aimed at you, so don't think I'm like trying to lecture you. I just thought your comment was good and I wanted to express what I thought about it, so...

The hold up is man and his hard heart and reliance on his own ways. According to my understanding, we are given a choice to serve the Creator or die striving to put off the "flesh" and live according to his will, which takes knowledge and understanding, then this knowledge and understanding will be exercised and tried by your conscious mind and you make a choice as you begin to become wise...

of course a person who knows not one thing and is "blinded" will have different obstacles and one of the biggest is the Western Christian monstrosity. But a true seeker of "truth" will be humble and not high minded and be drawn perhaps as God wills.

God in his mercy is allowing even the oppressor time to repent, the whole world to repent. The poor as well as the rich. We all make a choice in this hell that is being aggressively forwarded by the lust of men 24/7, which is why we are to come out of "it".....

ok, this is my understanding for those who care or don't ...w/e

 

Let's entertain the idea that God is not represented by religion for a moment, how does one accumulate and acquire knowledge of (fast forwarding to your other post) God's will or God for that matter?

I find your post kind of amusing in a sense because you state "God is not represented by any religion," then go on to quote passages from the Bible. How does that figure?

People who believe come from all different types of creeds, from non-confrontational pacifists, to those who fuel the lusting societal powers, to manical terrorists. Pretty much the only thing all these people and the shades in between have in common is the belief they are doing God's will. How do you convince people from any one of these general characterizations, that they are misapprehending "God's nature" if they appear to be "blinded" in some regard?

 

It is projected onto God that He/She/It must do something like that. A human imagination of what God ideally must be, just like most worked out concepts of God include wishful thinking or cultural associations. After all, evil is a human invention as well: an abstract concept constructed by us, projected onto things and actions.

 

If evil is a human invention, God did not create us.

 

Created with imagination it could. If evil is a human invention it can be undone taking a different inventory or it may fall into disuse with the advent of a better invention.

 

isn't
the force of life itself "god"....?
for lack of a better word.....
not good or bad...just indifferent...as nature is.....
