Does God / a supreme being exist?

A couple of things...

You talk about beliefs and proof that something exists, yet you sit here from a computer and "talk" to people you have never seen, touched, etc. Just an observation...

Also, when the end of days come, and we all are confirmed this answer, would you not rather believe in God and chance that He might not be real, or don't believe in God and chance that He is real.

If my believing in God is a farce and there is no greater being, visceral or not, then I would have still lived a good life.

If, however, I live my life believing there is no God, and my end comes only for me to find out that there is, well...welcome to hell?

I don't understand people's need and desire to disprove something to everyone just for the kicks of it. This thread is not a rant, flame, etc...

I think this is a bit laughable. Would I rather believe in God and chance he might be real? Sure, if it were that easy. But how do you force yourself to believe in something? Won't God know I'm just saying the right things in order to get something I want at the end?

How about this - if I die and I arrive at the pearly gates and God is waiting for me, I'll salute him and profess my belief in his existence at that time.

If I live a good life, treat my fellow human beings with respect and can't get into heaven because I didn't spend my whole life kissing the ass of God...well fuck him AND his exclusive country club. The fact that some dirtbag can have a deathbed confession and get into heaven while someone else can live a clean life and end up in hell...well, I have a tough time believing that a benevolent God would allow such a thing.

Ultimately, I do think people that argue over which religion is the "right" religion might as well be arguing over whether Scooby Doo or Spiderman is the "real" God. Organized religion is a ridiculous brainwashing of the masses that's been going on for way too long - it amazes me that people still fall for this nonsense.

This is Tolstoy's belief as well. "All this moving to and fro" == god. Life is god. I happen to believe that Life exists. If nothing else, I do this because its fun to piss off people like Japan [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] . Yes, I'm pretty sure Tolstoy actually said that too.

i'm not mad homie, this definition actually makes sense

the laws of the universe created us; the laws are god.

The REAL question is, why should we give a fuck?

We're just trying to think outside the bun man...

True enlightenment can only be reached through worshiping the Lords Spicy, Crunchy, Melty, and Grilled at your local Taco Bell pals. Spicy likes it when you get Volcano Tacos, and Crunchy is cool with that too, but Melty and Grilled prefer the likes of Crunchwrap Supremes and Grilled Stuffed Burritos.

as you know, fourth, i am the supreme priest of spicy. (just finished off some volcano nachos too)

VOLCANO SAUCE FOREVER!

on a more serious note, would recommend deleting this thread. There two taboo discussion that shouldnt really be mentioned in sociality because of the conflicts of thoughts and emotions that could play out in it. Religion and Politics.

But whatever, carry on.

Discuss.

No evidence to suggest there is. Until I see proof? No.

But I'm open-minded about it.
