Religion : Why do you?

You have to remember when talking about god, there are alot of things that we know very little about like wormholes etc, so why can't a god be one of them?

It says that? Where exactly? And what about the things that are just scientifically wrong...like the Genesis for example?
But also words that seem to resemble bad, don't you think?

Oh it might be possible that some sort of God exists, I'm not denying that, it's just in no way proven. Not very likely either.

Bardock,

The fool has said in his heart there is no God. Are you one of the people that God is referring to?

Look at that, Chirstians devised a religion that persecustes non-Chirstians and tries to keep Chirstians from becomign something else.

😆 Scientific facts. 😆

CHRONICLES 16:30 "The earth ... shall be stable, that it be not moved." It doesn't spin on its axis or travel about the sun. DOn't forget ti rests on the pillars of your god.

EZEKIEL 7:2 "Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land." Please...the flat earth has four courners.

Nah....I might be one of those people who the person writing about a God is referring to though.

Although I would be more than happy to feel God's presence....I just don't.

It's because there is no presence as we've been taught or told....We are all parts of it, so we are just feeling each others presence and connecting to what we let ourselves connect/feel/imagine which is creating.

IMO <------ 😄

🤨

^^ 😂 OK, kinda like the force......

so debbiejo are you one with the force?

The force is strong in you my young padowan...

sorry couldn't help it 😉

debbiejo should demonstrate her force abilities.

She has, ever seen her sit on the moon? 😆

I can imagine her in star wars as Jedi master debbiejo. she would be the best one by far.

Yeah, I can just picture it:

Yoda: Hard to see, the dark side is.
Debbiejo: Are you sure there is a dark side? I think the dark side idea comes from the pagan belief that dark is bad and light is good...I bet they even live in rooms full of light, why do we refer to them as "dark"? Shouldn't we refer to them as the "evil" side?

😆 😆

Why do I choose to believe in religion? Why do I choose to believe in God? Why do I believe what I believe? What do I believe?

I choose to believe in religion and I choose to believe in God, because I have seen God's presence active in my life, I have felt his presence all around me. When I was younger, I believed because my parents believed, and it was always easy to answer what and why I believed because of that. But as I got older, things within me started to change, I no longer believed because my parents believed, in fact I didn't believe at all. I am a very scientific person and have always wanted to be a scientist. I looked for evidence proving my parents beliefs and found nothing. Then shortly after giving up on everything, everything in my life went wrong. I lost everything I had known, everybody I had loved. My family had fallen apart and being the youngest nobody listened to me, talked to me, I just dwelt on the fact that nobody in my family paid attention to me, I had no friends whatsoever at school. I was tired of nobody listening to me, including those who were suppose to help me, such as my teachers, nobody would challange me to do my best do become the best I could be. I decided if nobody wanted me around, if nobody loved me, if nobody even noticed I was there, I wasn't going to be there any longer. I attempted suicide many times, and if I had been older, or had access to better weapons, I would have succeeded. Finally one time before I was about to do attempt suicide again, I felt something I had never felt before, there was nobody around me, but I felt a strong presence, a strong loving presence. I immediately dove into studying religion and coming to my own conclusions. So shortly, why do I believe in God is simply because he was there for me when nobody else was even when I didn't believe in him, when I didn't ask for his help, he showed his love for me. I believe in religion because I believe in God. Why do I believe what I believe, because thorugh my study, when it was just me and God, asking him for help anytime I needed it or had a question. I finally found what I was looking for, what the truth was. I KNOW what I believe in is true. I KNOW that God is there. I have felt him, I have seen the effect he has had on my life. I am so thankful for what he has done for me, and since my discovery, I have become a better person, I am no longer as selfish as I once was, I can't say i am selfless, because it is human nature to be selfish, but I tend to place others before me. I'm always willing to lend a helping hand to those who ask, and to offer a hand to those who I feel could use it. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I KNOW what God has said is true, and I KNOW that he has called prophets today. I KNOW I believe, not because I'm scared, not because it makes me feel better about myself, but because it IS true, God IS there, and has helped me through the hardest times of my life when I didn't ask, want, or believe in him.

all I have to say is god bless you on your journey with god in this life.

I find this to be a more acceptable answer.

It's not off topic at all. I said earlier that I wondered if heaven or fear of hell was the reason most people chose to belive in God. And you replied that it was because otherwise people would have no reason to refrain from sinning. Therefore, you must be saying that if there were indeed no heaven, hell, nor God to believe in, anyone (including yourself) would go around sinning without reserve.

It's within all of us and all around us. What changes there would be if we all saw ourselves connected like this as in quantum physics teaches........effect = affect.........We could change the world.... ✅

You really need to start understanding that Theory a bit better....✅
