Do you believe in God?

[notw 10+ year member]

I will always believe in God. I might not be able to understand everything about God, but that's perfectly fine. Some people just think too much about it and can't accept it.

As Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, and he will make your paths straight.”

there are over 3,000 religions on this planet and only ONE of themcan be right....

I beleive there has to be a god of some sort but I also I beleive religion groups are cults

as for the bible...it is a very good story book written by man and not a god......

way back when man used to worship gold and stone statues

if someone wants to worship a rock or even a man fabricated god all the power

to them...as long as they don't use religion to effect others lives in a negative way

who cares..everyone has their thing

or none

People who are really serious about any religion should be considered to have a severe mental disability and be treated as such.

anyone who believes in any specific god, or subscribes to any specific religious doctrine should read sam harris' "the end of faith"

Where is the "do not care" option on the poll?

I believe (no pun intended) that would fall under the "other" category //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

"Other(Specify your belief)" is the option, my apathy toward the subject prevents me from asserting my lack of care as a belief structure. I assumed based on the zealous nature of the OP, that "(specify your belief)" was in reference to subscribing to some sort of formal or informal belief structure.

How about this, zealots of all natures annoy me.
