Yes, It's not that there's no evidence of God, just come to India or Nepal and some time in sacred places and you'll soon realize.

Yes. I had a long bout of atheism from 13 to about 24 after I got involved in my local Church. I took a hard look at the way my life was going and decided to surrender my life to Christ after a lengthy period of volunteer work. I can’t say I have all the answers but I do find a lot of Christian apologetics very compelling.

It’s a shame that discussions get so venomous over the question, it feels like there’s a lot of bad actors on both sides who aren’t interested in The Truth and everyone comes out of it hurt.

Short answer "yes" with an "if". Long answer "no" with a "but".

No. There's no evidence for the existence of god, why would I believe in it?

I think this short video explain it all, with the wise words of Alan Watts.

The concept of God that is managed today is nothing more than the fruit of the manipulation created by all monotheists throughout the centuries ... mainly the Church, the largest company and the greatest mafia that has existed for centuries.

God was something brought to upset the plebe and give hope to the slaves of the time. and later the concept of God was brought to the Americas to control and manipulate residents.

Yes. I'm not sure if what other people believe God is is what I believe God is, especially because the defining characteristic of God for me is that God can't be known in precise, scientific ways, but they are at least similar.

Yes I do. I believe in the LORD, who is the one who is, the before and after, the God of creation. I see everything as evidence of the LORD. His law is written within and without on all of his work. We are his wayward children who have failed to follow his law. Instead we choose to know good and evil, and thus we see a lot of suffering and evil in the world that would not otherwise exist.

My God is the one who sent his Son Jesus Christ to us 2000 years ago. Jesus followed the law perfectly to fulfill it and the prophets. He allowed us to put him to death by unjust torture and crucifixion. He did this for our sake and in our place as a sacrifice for our law-breaking. You can read more about what his message is in the bible, look up the book "Matthew" or "John" in any translation you prefer.

It is a short read- see what you think about the story of Jesus as you read it- these books are included in classical education as philosophy and ethics. The message and teachings are very valuable, even if you do not believe the story is "real" at first.

There are however, legitimate and proven historical records of the life of Jesus. There are witnesses that saw and stayed with him AFTER his death and resurrection on the third day.

This image was created by a flash of light so bright it imprinted a photographic negative on rough cloth, at the moment of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead.

Short answer: no.

No, but I'm also not convinced he doesn't exist. Agnostic.

I don't know what to believe for certain or with any level of steadfast faith but I think something exists beyond our capacity to understand.

I dont need to believe, I know. (From Carl Jung, but it applies.) I'll add that seeking God is the through action and more action, and there is no 'end game' where I've found enough. If my small brain could comprehend a Higher Power in its totality, then It wouldn't be that great.

Yes, I am Catholic

All is one evolving process, whatever you call it

(I can translate if needed)

it has ever been clear to me. We define "sacred" everything that we don't know. Specificatly in the Emotion/spiritual Areas that human being never scientifically studied. It's complicated.. Do you know what Boltzmann Brains are? or Kardashev scale? There's even a logical interpretation theorically about god existence but we should know what to pray. You didn't born for someone else's will. Even in those theories you can read that nobody could be an "antropomorphic" figure with human will. A kind of creature such as described in all sacred book shouldn't have intrest in us..

Belive in a God is like belive that we are alone in the Universe and he cares only about us..

Did u ever read about the evolution of human DNA? we are on the earth from about 500k years but our DNA has information for about 14 billion years of mutations. Do you really think God cares only about us? The reason could be very strange but it's easier to belive that we were implanted here by extraterrestral life then beliving in a "God" that created only us in the whole Universe.

There's a theological question that i'd like to propose: "can God make something that he can't destroy?"

I could continue but i don't wanna shake your faith. I'll be here for any clarification!

No, but I wish I did. Believing in God (or analogues) seems to have a lot of benefits and makes life somewhat easier—things like having someone to blame, someone who is always with you, someone who unites, someone who watches you and guide you. But no, there is no God.

If there is a God as written in the holy books, that is, one who loves his servants very much. So why all this pain? And why is it hidden from us? Here is my answers and reasons: I believe there is a creator and he truly loves his servants. (When societies fell into a dead end or sank into evil, He sent prophets to give hope to the good people within them.) Our lifespan in this life is limited. But we are made up of energy. As you know, energy does not disappear. Yes, it changes shape, but it never disappears. From here, we can say that our lifespan is endless. So, we are preparing our future in this world. How we react to pain and negativity is not as important as how we react to happiness and pleasantness. Since these concepts are extreme, they are always on the agenda and are questioned. The truth is that all our reactions and the way we perceive reality will determine our future. It is not actually hidden from us. Because it is a metaphysical entity. In other words, it is impossible to prove its existence with physical scientific methods in this world. In short, it is not possible to use objective experimental methods. However, it is possible to prove it with subjective experiments. Yes, we can only prove it to ourselves. If I do not bore you, I can suggest methods on how this can happen.

P.S.: 1-Sometimes I used "it" and sometimes "he". Because it is not human and therefore cannot have a gender. 2- There is definitely only one religion. All the religions(People think there is more than one religion.) and prophets that have come so far have said the same thing. And they have brought their messages to the people of good character in the society to which they were sent. 3- Prophets have been the communication channels between God and humans. Because God is a metaphysical being, yet He is the creator and cause of everything, and thus He sent His messages by contacting a single physical being. Even the prophets thought they were dreaming at first.

That not how statistics work.

If humans would not exist, you would not be writing this post in the first place.

In other words. You are mixing prior probability with posterior probability. Prior probability of 'us existing' might be astronomically small (or not - we don't know), but in a world in which you already exist that probability is 100%. And knowing posterior probability gives you zero information on prior probability in this case.

P(humans_exist) != P(humans_exist | you_exist) and you only can measure the P(humans_exist | you_exist) part which equals 100%.

People individually are weak and vulnerable. Religion gives a narrative upon which to form groups and have strength. Religion and politics are thus closely aligned-rulers like to claim authority from God/s. Algorithms look like they have the potential to displace religions as they enable human organisation and structure.
