Err god may be male in christiany but its not he or she a superhuman to muslims, and i donate %25 of money to charity and not to religion, miss vicky j every religion needs a bit of money its unfortunate you ran into a nasty teacher. You do know priests and scholars are human and have children and need money to live and arent benifit fools! Loving god and religion for life![/rquote]

But this thread is about Christianity otherwise the thread title would be "Do you have faith in a god?"

[Beastie]

Try and have faith in yourself before relying in God.

Tom have you been sniffing glue again? heheh

[Tom]

No, why is it so hard to grasp? Only Christianity calls their god 'God', ie with a capital as though its his name (even though its something else). All other religions have other names instead and say god(s). So from the title you can imply this is about Christianity.

No allah is god in english, and if there is a god he would be of one that controls the whole world not seperate religions, this is about god not christianity!

[IsleOfWeather]

God is love

and love is God





go figure

No. There is no god.

When I was little I had faith in God, but now I don't know, although my parents are very religious.

Richard Dawkins' argument is pretty flat. "Oh we found some bones and these erm tribes yeah? Like and erm... then I thought, because these tribes yeah... they were like doing this and these bones and these animals like yeah... they were like on an island - then there is no God. It's a lie because I saw this tribe"

He's a numpty.

[MassiveTruck]

I have faith in God and a higher power but I think a lot of people have diluted Religion into cult worship these days. Some of the churches have made such a folly of dogma that it's cult like worship these days.

I believe that the areas of Religion that talk of spirit and conciousness, is God like while all the tradition, ceremony, rituals etc - are not really religious or God like.

I can't take a scientific view because Science doesn't have faith in itself (all critique, evaluation, counter critique and reasoning). I doubt Science in the nature that science is will never ever be happy or content because it questions everything.

One of the fascinating areas of Science, Physics and some of the recent studies on multiple big bangs and the balloon Universe theory actually relate to energy, matter and astronomical behaviour towards an intelligence life form. i.e. why doesn't the universe expand beyond it's state. There appears to be something pushing the Universe inwards - be they the energy from multiple big bangs (not possible because the resulting reaction would be outwards since there is nowhere to go inside).

Even in Science, they are only capable of studying and understanding things within their own school of though. Even PhD students and doctoral candidates or professors and lecturers only have time for their own sphere of thought (like cells, organs, the stratosphere - tiny areas) so how can you have faith in science when there is no real scientists or groups of scientists to counter argue the effects of faith. Even they only answey things on the basis of theory.

So is there a God? Well, we're a whole bunch of idiots merely pondering everything and slaves to games and stories (films, musics, consoles)... what is our progress while Religion has progressed towards civilising the world that not even democracy, economy or politics could do. It's the political motives that use Religion that create problems.

[NettoSuperstar!]

Good points Massive Truck...Richard Dawkins is as closed minded as a lot of religious folk. Science and religion are not the opposite of each other just different ways of looking at different things

[Jackie]

[rquote=2547137&tid=143385&author=Enid]Nope.

Religion has only ever been a tool to control the masses. I do not need "faith in god" or religion. I don't need some book to tell me how to live my life. I make my own decisions. Good or bad. I am my own person and I'm happy.[/rquote]


I'm the same i don't pray to god everytime i need hope i deal with it myself but i do beleive things happen for a reason.

Yes he is. It's shocking.

Evolution has so many holes. It tries to explain some things but fails to explain all the holes in evolution. It's like a case of DNA being the answer but the more they try to explain the more it appears everything is open to chance so isn't as clinical as Evolution.

The biggest problem with Evolution are the changes in climate and how much priority they give to procreation as the ideal towards species. It has no answer for conciousness or our bewildering creativity (pathetically, they think that is all down to procreation and peacocking) - it's utterly daft.

They don't have all the answers and for many things faith and belief in our own spirit is far better than believing "oh, you did it because you wanted to s**g him/her (in order to prolong the species)".

Utter crap.

Yes Netto. That is a succinct way of putting it. That Science and Religion are just different ways of looking at the same thing.

I'd rather an open mind rather than putting Science on a pedestal and saying this is it. That would be awful and would put an end to the world. The last time I looked, it was still spinning and we were still moving.

Good for you man. Are your family practicing Christians? If so, what denomination are they?

Nope.

Bible is fictional.

The world is a more dangerous place because of religion. A lot of wars have occurred because of it, and lots of people have died for it. So how would the world be a dangerous place without it?

And you think Im acting like a jackass because I have different views than you? Speaks for itself really.
