Are you a believer?
 
Do you believe in God? How confident are you in your view? Let’s put your belief (or lack of it) to the test.

Read aloud the following statements. Don’t just think about them or mutter them to yourself – shout them out:
I dare God to make my life miserable.
I dare God to make my home catch fire.
I dare God to turn all of my friends against me.

Yes I'm a believer, I wouldn't even whisper it.

Marsh. 15-11-2015 09:57 PM

I don't think the Guardian understands the concept of most religions tbh. :umm2:

Niamh. 15-11-2015 09:58 PM

Marsh. 15-11-2015 09:59 PM

Niamh fearing the wrath of the Gav over the wrath of God.

I just wouldn't put that into the universe about my home and such maybe?

I'm not a believer, but I don't tempt fate

JoshBB 15-11-2015 10:12 PM

I'm agnostic. I don't think you can prove or disprove God and I'm not going to be forced to make a choice out of the two.

It mentions god not religion in the quote, people have for millenia debated the complexities and waged wars over the meaning and definitions so I'm not surprised tbh :umm2:

Well, lumping the entire concept of "belief" into that question is bizarre to say the least. :umm2:

RichardG 15-11-2015 10:19 PM

No the concept of there being a god has always felt a little silly to me, I've never believed or been religious. :shrug:

Well, I cannot say that it 100% does not exist so I won't. That doesn't mean it automatically exists though.

I don't think it is, it asks a specific question answer it or don't... what's the issue? :umm2:

"If you're scared of saying this out loud you're a believer, if you're not, you're an atheist" Kind of simplistic really, isn't it? :umm2:

Is it?... If that's your interpretation you're welcome to it.
As I my interpretation is I didn't want to verbalise anything happening to my home, so it's not that simplistic. :umm2:

So essentially your are agnostic about anything that can be invented by man. Like say Harry Potter?
