Do you believe in a god?

curiousOrange SG

Its a really sensitive issue I know...but its the kinda question we all ponder and often lay awake thinking about.

Personally, I feel when we die, we die-- No heaven, no hell, no god ('cept Bill Shankly is close to being godly Smile ).

Sometimes I feel God is somethng humans invented to feel better of themselves, something invented as a crutch to help deal with the fact that life is temporary.

However if religion does makes a person better, then Im all for it Smile

Any thoughts?

Yes, I BELIEVE there's GOD. And I'm a FREE-THINKER. Enough said. I think your question, intention and answer are INNOCENT enough. But sometimes it's NOT life which is the COMPLICATED SUBJECT. It's HUMAN.

THINK we should STOP discussing about such a TOPIC before it attracts the BEES... THANKS...

The topic doesnt have to get personal. I read the posts from the below treads and figured that most of the forum users here are mature enough to handle such a topic.

As I mentioned in my eariler post, I have absolutely no problems with people who "believe". But since I was 10 years old( when my grandad passed away) I made the equation that I was born.ergo I have to die...and there's no way back from that one. I come to terms with mortality long ago, and once you do that, there is no need for "god" or "gods". Anyway, looking into the void now, humans grew to know; that we not the center of the universe,the sun doesnt revolve around us, the Earth isnt flat...so even if there is no god(a speculation), it shouldnt come across as a major susprise.

I agree 100% with what you said, that "its not life which is the complicated subject.its human". The sad part is that most people fail to see this point and that gives power hungry [email protected] the chance to use religion as a excuse to stock up hatred on both sides.

I express admiration for your form of mentality till now. I AGREE with your belief that MOST of the forumites in here have the level of mentality to handle this TOPIC. As much as I WISH to DISCUSS about such TOPICs with someone like you, I should also remind you that people who post here don't necessarily have to be from this forum.
When I told you that it's not life which is the complicated subject but human. I was also trying to relate to you ANOTHER MESSAGE. That is THOUGH your INTENTION might be GENUINE and INNOCENT. People discussing on your TOPIC might not THINK in the SAME LINE of MENTALITY. Personally, I VIEW 'Aunt Agony' as a HEALING ground for some... I do NOT wish for nonsense to start here to disrupt the PEACE. Especially the PEACE which people with DISRUPTED LIVES might be desperately seeking. HOPE you understand my POINT? But at the end of the day, I must admit I have no rights in stopping you in your say. I just thought you would listen, so I have spoken. Take care my friend...

How very clever...

If forumites in here have the level of maturity to handle such topics...they will have the ability to analyze whatever is written here (regardless of WHO WROTE the MESSAGE and WITH what INTENT)...cough, sorry for shouting.

okok...point taken anyway. So, in order to restore peace in this forum so that people can study here or whatever, how do I delete a topic?

ps: AND STOP SHOutING PLS FFS, I can hear you perfectly. geez...some people. Smile

The people who can have the mentality and sensibility to analyse who post what in here are NOT those people in despair. For people who ARE in DESPAIR, entering a forum with chunks of RUBBISH DEBATES overloaded would certainly TURN THEM AWAY. Sorry I don't take SUCH CHANCES.
I know you can understand my INTENTION? Smile Thanks... There's no way you can delete this topic unless this forum is set up or own by you. As long as we end this thing before any flame arise, I see NO PROBLEM to that? Wink
By the way, I know people have this MENTALITY that using of CAPS are SHOUTING. Thanks so much to that form of mentality. My CAPS are used to EMPHASIZE on certain points. And if you stay here LONG enough, you'll realise there're ALOT of people who like to pick on your words. Not referring to you though, but my habit of CAPPING only serve as a point to help them READ my POST CAREFULLY... BEFORE they have ANY COMMENT.... Smile

I believe in a god who will not ask me to hijack a plane or bomb a bus full of kiddies.

any god who does that is a DOG not a GOD

Prodigy SG

i remind users of this forum to be sensitive in their replies regarding such topics.
I have seen how a simple topic like this goes out of hand when ignorant people start aiming at particular religion with tactless replies.

nowadays, believing is like going to the supermarket. u find things u like and u dont like. if u believe for what it's shown to u, then u'll buy it, right? even tough later u get the bad or expired, etc goods. In the case of believing God, there's no money back guarantee, just take it or leave it.. just as simple as that..
That's how I look upon the religion...
