Does God Matter?

You ever notice that all of these religous threads always end up saying the same things over and over and over again? this is one of those really really obvious questions that someone needs to be slapped with a cat for asking. i mean, if God matters to you or if he doesnt, i would think that you owuld know, therefore you owuld have just answered your question.

There're are ton of fine points to haggle over. Like whether he can affect you if he exists, but you don't think he does.

Yes, the concept of God matters. Without hope all sanity breaks down. We need something to believe in eventhough it may be a lie.

The ultimate sacriface has already been made (how much more clearer could HE have gotton??), Jesus died on the cross for everyone, it's YOUR Choice, rather or not to accept Christ into your life, When you ask for forgiveness and ask Christ into your life, HE is there and he's listening to you, but you must accept him. He's always there, he's just a whisper away.

I'm CRYING laughing here. Can HE answer the PHONE for ME? 😆 This is the funniest forum I've ever come across. 😂

and the question is....how is he?

I don't believe in God and I'm more successful than most people my age. I have a great job, a great education, a goregeous girlfriend...and dreams of a loving family.

God didn't give me those things, I went out and grabbed them myself.

I COULDNT OF PUT IT BETTER MYSELF

Sorry for the caps just had to make that point

[b]Questioning the Importance of God

The question of whether or not some sort of god exists is not one which should necessarily occupy the minds of atheists all of the time. Theists - especially Christians - regularly challenge us with arguments and ideas which supposedly demonstrate that their god definitely exists. But prior to that, there is an even more important issue to address: is a god really important in our lives? [/B]

For some people no, but for other yes.. Some need a point of hope to keep them going.

I was so amused by some of the responses that I forgot to answer the question. And the answer is simple. To me, no. I'm an atheist. God and religion are two meaningless words to me. Now, I don't care what anyone else belives in. They can believe in a four-headed pig named Harry, flying in the sky for all I care but this is about me and what I believe and don't believe in. So don't bother writing essays. I don't care, I won't respond.

The first person who gets the number of times I said 'to me' right gets a cookie.

I think as time goes on people will come to realize like they have through out history that Jesus isn't coming....Or will they, though there could of been someone named Jesus...He could of even done miracles...people from around the world of different faiths and even no particular faith have done so.......I feel there is something quite larger than the god of the Bible is out there......The Bible has been changed and manipulated by man so many times....most of it is historical, but there are some moral stories along with some steamy novels in there.......New Science fields are finding something quite different than what many have though previously in regards to god, but still has some intelligence, and we are all part of it.

We, as mere human beings in the great unknown cosmos, should not trouble ourselves too much with such an absolute question of whether God exists or not, because we can never really know this. What is more important is too find happiness, peace and enlightenment (devoid of suffering) in our own daily lives as well as those of others.

Another problem of the question of God, is what God really is. The mere concept of what God is, is relative and subjective anyway. So not even all believers in God believe in the same idea of God.

Any human beings troubling themselves with such absolute existential questions, are waisting valuable time on something that can never be answered, and something that does not really have a bearing on the value of one's day to day life.

Moreover, why do atheists spend most of their time on the question of God, while they don't believe in him?

My advice is this: Rather spend more time on improving the quality and value of people's lives, than waisting time on something as senseless and unaffecting as pondering divinity. Be practical and wise in your quests - concentrate on the immediate, conditional living-truths, and not on the absolute and meaningless.

No God does not matter, and no God is not offended by that. 😄

I'm not arguing with you.........Who ya talking to.....?

OK god doesn't care if you care or not....just like why would god care what words you'd use....wouldn't something as huge as god be beyond that?

Maybe, God only knows. 😂

God tells me everything...and I'm in the dark......lol

God matters to people who believe in him/her/it.

God will exist as long as there are people who will worship him/her/it, and as long as there are wirshipers, such being will be important in peoples lives.

Well said, lil bitchiness.

Well, what I meant is god will exist whether we believe or not......I believe there is something.....and It's so huge, that it could care less about our petty belief systems.....Though it would probably like us to know it better.
