Do You Believe in God?

read about it

"Do not look in the file of incriminating evidence to see whether or not the accused rose up against the Soviets with arms or words. Ask him instead to which class he belongs, what is his background, his education, his profession. These are the questions that will determine the fate of the accused. That is the meaning and essence of the Red Terror."

"The Red Terror was claimed to be introduced in reply to White Terror. The stated purpose of this campaign was struggle with counter-revolutionaries considered to be enemies of the people. Many Russian communists openly proclaimed that Red Terror was needed for extermination of entire social groups or former "ruling classes". Lenin planned the terror in advance. In 1908 he had written of "real, nation-wide terror, which reinvigorates the country".[6] Communist leader Grigory Zinoviev declared in September 1918:
"To overcome of our enemies we must have our own socialist militarism. We must carry along with us 90 million out of the 100 million of Soviet Russia's population. As for the rest, we have nothing to say to them. They must be annihilated."[7]
For many people the major evidence of their guilt was their social status rather than actual deeds. Martin Latsis, chief of the Ukrainian Cheka, explained in newspaper "Red Terror":
"Do not look in the file of incriminating evidence to see whether or not the accused rose up against the Soviets with arms or words. Ask him instead to which class he belongs, what is his background, his education, his profession. These are the questions that will determine the fate of the accused. That is the meaning and essence of the Red Terror."[8]"

If one of the goals of a communistic society is to abolish religion, what do you think was one of the factors in determining the so called enemies of the russian communist government

I do not because the principle of a God is to have morals
So no, I won't put my belief in God, or a God, because ultimately they're not going make me a better person, and I'm able to make my own choices,even if they are morally wrong, to benefit myself or others by my own free will. Not following some fucking rule book, cuz they're are no real laws, I'm free to do as I please.

But because I'm in the US I'm suppressed to follow rules or else I will face consequences. 
Rules are in place to make things fair, to give everyone a chance. If there were no rules, the strong would eat the weak, and that's where your God steps in.


I don't know if I was able to express my view in words well, so I may sound retarded, but my mindset is clear. And I'd have to go into further explanation.
Bottom line, I don't believe in an afterlife, so if you do something wrong I don't believe you go to hell, so then I don't see it as being wrong in the first place. WE'RE ANIMALS.

no. I don't believe in god, and I am happy 

[Pyrate]

I don't know. I like to think that there is a God and when we die we all live on in an afterlife, but I have no clue if that's true or not, obviously. I don't bother myself thinking about it, because I don't see the point.

It depends on how you were raised.  I didn't go to church after 3rd grade and I'm now in 11th.  Once I hit 8th and learned how the church was wrong at one point about how the universe revolved around the Earth, I decided that there couldn't be a God.  After learning that there are older religions that Christianity in AP World History and the theory of evolution (don't pull any of that "it's a theory, not proven" crap, the same can be said about God) [both in 9th] it pretty much sealed my faith, or rather, lack of.  I mean, there could be a God, but unless I see proof, then I'm not buying it.

There is no way of proving God. Christianity is revolved around faith. You have to have faith that God is there, and if you don't, then you don't.

That reminds me of a post I saw on /b/ the other day about Agnosticism.  They said Atheists would be screwed, but if you have a questionable faith in God, then there's no way you're getting into Heaven-A semi-faith isn't going to get you spared.

"Whatever floats your boat."

[Terran SCV]

I used to, but then some of it's ethics didn't appeal to me.

You see, Christianity may have worked effectively before the 21st century, but times are changing and Christianity merely impedes cultural/scientific progress IMO.

Someone on /b/ asked the same thing before and someone replied

The Bible is the best-selling Fanfic of all time

I lmao'd.

Christianity is a joke.  The End.

I do believe in a god, though.

I don't believe in God but I AM pro-religion. It helps grow good morals, not that you can't achieve them without it. It clouds too many peoles minds, makes some people crazy, but makes most happy. Do what makes you happy, but please give others thteir privacy.

My respect for you just skyrocketed
