I neither believe nor disbelieve at this stage, you see i am on a journey to find the truth and as such am open to many points of view, However it should be noted i don't agree with organised religions as i believe that a supreme being would be so incomprehensible that no single religion could describe him completely

^ What they said. I don't agree with organized religion, and I don't believe that any religion has defined the creator correctly. Besides, they all contradict eachother and none have evidence to support their side of the arguement.

I don't believe in organised religion, because that corrupts people
I believe that 'god' is within you, that you chose and that you take the responsibility for your choice good or bad.
I believe in the strength of all humankind, and that we chose out path through life. I also believe that being truly happy means being true to yourself :biggrin:

I'll stop being deep now..

Time to chime in on a rather serious subject here..
Two years ago I would have told you that God existed only because struggling minds needed a crutch to explain the unexplainable, and needed a better "something" to strive for; since they weren't strong enough to do it on thier own..

Things are different now..

Roughly a year and a half ago, a series of events in my life unfolded that led to an entire life and entire philo-theological change..

Firstly; although I hadn't prayed to God since I was five or seven or so; a desperate plea; given in a moment of total hopelessness; was met by an e-mail from somebody I consider my ultimate soul-mate..
There was absolutely no reason for this to happen, even in the course of random events; and it changed my life forever..
Secondly; a person some of you know as "Researcher" informed me a few months ago that my body was infested by a Demon that he would cast out..
He did this right out of the blue with no prompting or prior contact. During what you might call the exorcism process; strange and unearthly events happened around our home..
Including rapid, illogical mood-swings, swirling mists in the living room, moving shadows with no light source to name; and unexplainable noises and prophetic dreams; as well as other things..
It was a scary time for Girty and I, being the skeptics we naturally are; but we really lived it, and came out the stronger for it..
All this leads me to conclude that a higher power does indeed have an interest in our fates..

Take all that for what you will; folks..Nor do I blame you if you don't believe me, or want to explain it scientifically..
Go right ahead..But those of you who used to know me from UM will know that I have a ready explanation for most things, and that I'm not easily bamboozled, even by myself..
I even tried several experiments to re-create conditions that might re-create the events I mentioned, but nothing could quite do it plausibly..
I'm convinced of a God or even Gods plural..
Either way; somebody loves me..

I believe in God and I've recently had a near death experience which was very strange. I saw Heaven, I saw hell.

I do believe in a higher being but not a devil because for me it is logical to create a world with a balance of good and bad in it otherwise what kind of world would it be with just one side in it?

If you believe in both sides.......then how could you not believe in the devil?

I do not believe in a God, because Christians define what evil is, and what good is. I personally know of no Christian that follows the bible entirely, and I have absolutely no problem with a Christian who picks and chooses verses to heed or to discard, whatever gives them peace of mind and guidance. The problem I have
Is them stating that GOD IS THE ONLY WAY. :blink:

I get asked that a lot and for me why does there have to be a Devil in order for us to have good and bad in the world? Great Spirit created us as a balanced human being meaning he placed the bad within through free will. Why then should there be a Devil just because we have the free will to choose whether we take a human life or not.

Simply put there is a god for your good and a god Devil/Satin for your bad side!
You have a choice to be a good person and follow the bible!
Or you can be like me in the Christians eyes and be very bad/evil and realize there is more to this life than just a bible of words which are very incomplete.

I believe in God, though not organised religions.

I find it so weird that there are so many fights over religion if you go back to the basics most people believe in a higher power but use different names.

I too like Falco have seen things that have really enforced my beliefs.

God is what you make of it.

If for you, God compels others to send you e-mails at opportune times, help you pay a bill to keep the heat on, find you a new job, put a smile on your face. etc, ..or if he's just a bronze-age sky deity sitting in the clouds...so be it.

I am just a man, and being that have no way of knowing conclusively that there is a god. There is evil though, of that I am sure... and though that is a story for another time I assure you it, or rather, the capacity for it, does exist.

God is a feeling. Its a gaia or life-force. It's a domino effect, an old wive's tale, our ancestors' spirits. It watches us and helps us...if we let it.

I believe in no God that allows it's followers to kill others in it's (his/her?) name. Im more or less from the eastern train of thought that God is all around us.

But if God is good why would he have us kill in his name and give us the commandment thou shall not kill? It that not a double standard?
