Do You Believe in God?

[Daddy]

I believe in God. Who do you think made this world? Who made living things? How do you explain Jesus?

Jesus was a normal person?  He preached peace but he was no different from a person like Gandhi.

... We may as well delete these fucking threads as half you assholes aren't mature enough to argue without insulting the other person instead of trying to persuade them.

Persuading a person with devout "faith" in anything is impossible.

[YPrrrr]

Yeah, but I've seen athiests swing to religion and vice versa. If their beliefs are strong, no they won't be swayed, but the point is to persuade those who are on the fence.

[Houdini]

You've seen religion swing to atheists?

Yes, I believe in God, and no, I can't explain any of it. I simply believe in Him because it's the way I was raised. There's no sense in trying to use logic when pronouncing your faith. I believe because I was made to believe, and I doubt that'll change due to the one of the simplest pieces of Psychology: cognitive anchors.

So we should all just believe whatever someone tells us as a child just because?

You must still believe in the boogie monster, the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, and the easter bunny, I presume?

It's more that I don't particularly care to bother getting rid of my old beliefs, so they're still there. I suppose the way I should phrase this is that I do believe in God, but I don't entirely know why, and I suppose it's just because of an old belief that still exists in my "heart," as some would call it.

It's rather difficult for me to explain. Sorta like hating wild rice even though you haven't tried it since you were 4 and you hated it then? Bad example, probably.

[j o e i n c]

No.

Is this supposed to justify your beliefs?

[Samus Aran]

Is this supposed to justify your beliefs?

I'm pretty sure she's just trying to say in all that rambling that she believes deep down that He exists, but she can't explain why. So she blames cognitive anchors for it.

It's like cheese on a vegan burrito with moonlight on Vermont. You know?

Oh yeah, absolutely. Hand me the pipe, man, I need another hit.

[MiamiDolphins398]

Yea I believe in God.
