<p>Yes, there is a God, and His Son is Jesus.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Who is your God a son of?</p>
<p>Meeting God is one of my goals in life lol, if he really did create the universe from scratch, that means he can create energy (omg there goes law of conservation of energy), which can be used to solve out current energy crisis. If we can even simulate a fraction of his powers, humanity will be saved (for now at least).</p>
<p>…or my actual name if christian</p>
<p>yeah. </p>
<p>also God and Jesus are actually the same person. Jesus is God in the human form. it’s real complicated stuff that i do not yet understand.</p>
<p>I can’t say I bother thinking about it too much. I mean, I happen to believe the answer is yes, but I also can’t imagine how my life would be different if I thought otherwise.</p>
<p>Just to clear some things up:</p>
<p>Jesus is God’s son, but He is also God. You can kind of think of Jesus as God’s “avatar” that He used to come to Earth and show us how much he loves us.</p>
<p>Also, I am a Christian who believes in evolution, natural selection, possibly Big Bang theory, etc… Christianity and Science are NOT mutually exclusive.</p>
<p>And I used to think that it was “logical” to be atheist. This website helped changed my mind, as it gives a very LOGICAL argument FOR Christianity:</p>
<p>[A</a> Christian Thinktank](<a href=“http://www.christian-thinktank.com/]A”>http://www.christian-thinktank.com/)</p>
<p>I agree with Icanread
there is a God, but does he care about us humans at all? What makes us different from any other creature out there? In fact, he would hate us more since we are killing the life he made. And if you are someone who believes in heaven and hell, face it, we are probably going to hell. We use transportation that indirectly kills off life and the planet. We swat flies as if they are invading your home which was made out of murdered trees. And the list goes on. Unless you are someone who lives out in the wild and is isolated from civilization, you don’t stand much of a chance of going to heaven.</p>

<p>Agnosticism is, indeed, the lack of knowledge. However, atheism is the “knowledge” that there is no god, whereas theism is the “knowledge” that there is a god. You can be an atheistic agnostic; i.e., agnostic but leaning toward atheism. You can also be a theistic agnostic (for example, Buddhists are often atheistic agnostic or theistic agnostic). If someone does not know for sure whether there is a god or higher power, then that person is agnostic or one of its offshoots. If a person “knows” there is no god (i.e., flatly does not believe in god), that person is an atheist. If a person does “know” there is a god (i.e., flatly does believe in god), then that person is a theist. All Muslims are theists, not all theists are Muslims.</p>
<p>I don’t. I used to because I was raised that way and I used to think anyone who didn’t believe in God was going straight to hell and they weren’t worth associating with.
But then, i don’t even remember when, why, or how it happened, I became really science minded and started questioning a lot of things and things stopped making sense. What my religion teachers (I went to catholic school) were teaching started to sound like nonsense. I then I realized, I was atheist! Now I have absolutely no belief and I very seriously doubt anything could happen in my life to change that. I even wrote my admissions essay on my transition form christian to atheist.</p>
<p>@Punkchique that’s exactly what happen to me, I went to catholic school and in like seventh or eight grade the wheels started turning in my brain, I knew that I could not go to catholic high school and have to continue to study nonsense as a part of my GPA. Albeit, I didn’t necessarily think I was atheist off the bat, I just didn’t agree with a lot of things that the catholic religion started teaching.</p>
<p>Then I met other Christians (non-denominational) and they were so condescending toward other Christian religions and calling people “unsaved” and whatnot. It was the worst, and that’s what made me anti religious all together. </p>
<p>But after learning how people literally just make up religions and just have to get enough people to follow them, I’m like yeah, “I don’t think there’s a God.” And that whole, “you gotta have faith” can go somewhere. The Bible is probably the most inaccurate book on earth and “faith” isn’t going to fix it.</p>
<p>I wonder how long it will be before this thread descends into the usual “a/theists are just stupid ****s”</p>
<p>I’m not going to bother to worry myself with all the creationism stuff because there are just some stuff that our feeble human minds are not meant to know for sure. I just know that we are not perfect people but because God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, we can one day come face to face with God and be able to spend eternity with him. That’s the biggest difference between Christianity and other religions, you don’t have to do anything to reach God, instead Jesus came to fix our broken lives and all we have to do is believe in him and follow in his footsteps.</p>
<p>Just my two cents. I don’t like Christians though like Dreamin in Japan said that are so condescending towards other religions or non-believers. I won’t force religion down your throat or look down on you because you believe something else. We all have our different beliefs and it’s our own decision to decide for ourselves what our beliefs are and it’s not up to us to judge others based on what they believe.</p>
<p>Agnostic here but I think if only religion embraced science and seeing that the two can mutually exist (i.e. not saying the complete opposite of what science says), then young people who start thinking critically about religion won’t leave. </p>
<p>Religion should evolve, it shouldnt be static.</p>
<p>I was religious, then I was an atheist for a few years, and now I am back to being religious. I started to become really science minded and thought that God was irrational. Then I started taking it a step further; the skeptical way of thinking that brought me to get rid of a belief in God could also be used to undermined science and logic. I started to realize that they had no real privileged position. The validity of logic is unproven, and even if it was, science requires some key assumptions that are not backed by logic. So, for a while during junior year of high school I had a nihilistic view point, I thought that every claim, including this one, was unfounded. It is a really weird state of mind.</p>
<p>Then I realized I was using logic when I decided to believe that nothing is true, I was saying “Every belief is unfounded, therefore, I should not believe anything”. Realizing this allowed me to say “screw it, just because something is unfounded does not mean it is untrue, I’ll take back what ever I want to on faith alone”. So, I took back science, logic, and religion, I accepted their assumptions and all is good now.</p>
<p>The hilarious part is I get to college and then for a required humanities class we end up going really into depth on stuff like this (minus God), which ended up reinforcing my current view.</p>
<p>God(s) is omipresent. God is with you, in you and around you. Your parents are gods because they love you and feed you. Your professors, teachers, guidance counselor are gods because you learn from them. Your employers are gods because they hired you and pay you benefits for your efforts. Your close knit family support group (ie your cousins, aunties, uncles, granpas, grandmas etc.) are gods because when you needed help I am pretty sure one of them in that group will come to your rescue. Your local police men, fire fighters and EMT personels are gods because if you needed help they will be there. Your pet fish, dog and cat are your gods because whenever you are sad these creature are always there for you no matter what and vice versa. Your local religious clergies believe they are messenger of god(s), and I don’t doubt him/her since what they preach in general are good word of wisdom help keep our morality in check. So, yes God(s) is omipresent whether you believe it or not!</p>
<p>Ghosts are around us too.</p>
<p>Trust me, they’re there. You just can’t see them :)</p>
<p>Definitely Ghosts is in you, with you and around you. Asked youself why some people are so evil and some people are such an angel.</p>
<p>The only question I ask myself is whether I will call ghostbusters or not.</p>
