You see bro that's the problem . That's why this thread was created . Atheists have always seen God from a religious perspective . And you guys believe that rejecting the religious concepts of God means you are questioning God's existence - this is totally false . Its One Eternal God and different religious concepts . Like I said earlier , the contentious issue should be which religion portrays the true Nature of God and not attacking religious beliefs with the thinking that it somehow impugns God's existence .

joshysmartie:


are u saying the God in all religion are thesame...?

my bro u r confused....

joshysmartie:


one eternal God u said...

there is a God and there are gods....
nothing like one eternal... everything is based on religion...

without worship there is no God... without worship theres no religion... deists are confused... a God that doesnt want to be worshiped or is not worshiped is not a God... if they believe theres a God... then they dont know which religion it belongs to... their idea of God... might be a creator (alien) but definately not a God.. they believe there is a supernatural power governing the earth... (which is not a God).. my idea of God is anything you worship... God cannot and never be without religion becox religion is what makes anything God..

i dont know if u get me... i might be the confused one but thats my opinion....

'God' is just the appellation given to the Supreme Being or any deity . The Confucians are atheists who worship spirits and even pray to them with the belief that these ancestral spirits have control over the fortune of the descendants but these spirits are not considered as gods or deities .

The pantheists see the universe as god but they don't necessarily worship it . In Jainism after the man's soul is liberated , what follows suit is his apotheosis - the man is now seen as a god which is not worshiped either . In Shinto , a Japanese religion , their deities are called kami . The difference between Confucianism and Shinto is that in Shinto their spirits are deified or seen as gods unlike in Confucianism .

The deists just believe that God - the title of the Supreme Being - does not intervene in the affairs of men .What makes him God then , you may ask ? It is the source of our existence . God made all creation and It transcends them all . Some deists believe they can have personal relationship with God and He is worshiped too . So yes , some deists worship God without religion.

joshysmartie:


religion..
The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods:

joshysmartie:

i belief in God (thats religion)...

joshysmartie:

i dont believe in God (no religion)

joshysmartie:

i believe but i dont worship (deism) but the fact that deist reverence the presence of a Supernatural, makes them religious....

joshysmartie:

what u belief n worship is a god

joshysmartie:

.. that belief is religion not the way u belief n worship..
havent u heard... christianity is not a religion but a way of life?

religion is not christisnity, islam, judaism, it is the belief..

joshysmartie:

those things we call religion are ways of worship...

God cannot be without religion..

but can be without a diverse ways in worship.. which is what religion is portrayed to be...

In the ancient and medieval world, the etymological Latin root religio was understood as an individual virtue of worship, never as doctrine, practice, or actual source of knowledge. [16] The modern concept of "religion" as an abstraction which entails distinct sets of beliefs or doctrines is a recent invention in the English language..

KingEbukasBlog:


God is not a superhuman, some deities are not even human . Demigods are superhumans though . That definition is very poor .



Your belief in God does not make you religious . I explained how in the OP



There are religions that do not believe in any God . They include Buddhism , Confucianism , Jainism , Raelism etc .



It does not .



Not really



Are you a Christian



There is what is called Natural theology and there is what is called Revealed theology . Natural theology involves God without religion , revealed theology involves Religion with God .



To a deist , being thankful and appreciating God's work in Nature is a form of worshiping God . Its not really the worship you imagine it to be .

A deist worship could go this way :

God , I thank you
I thank you for the day , I thank you for the night
I thank you life
I thank you the wonderful works of nature - the earth , the moon , the starts
Its exciting to think and to reason
To interact , to be social

etc

This thread just shows that humans àre the creators of various God ideas end of story. Why the OP thinks this is something very special is what is beyond me. All God concepts and ideas are man made that is why there are different ideas and concepts of Gods created by men. End of story.

Atheism is the man made idea . Reigious concepts of God came from revealed theology .

Atheism started with Diagoras of Melos 2,500 years ago

dalaman:


What do you mean by revealed theology? Revealed by who? Man made theology is what all religious concept of God is made up of.

dalaman:


Who created Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, IFa religion and Islam for example? Who created Christianity? Men created all this religions and the Gods and theology associated with them. Your God remains a man made idea that is why you a man must talk about it , tell others about it and try to explain it to others. If it's real it will not rely on you to do anything for it. It will do everything for itself.

KingEbukasBlog:


Whatever you think about God and religion is your own business . . Man keeps talking about God because God has ingrained the curiosity to know about Him in man according to Romans 1:19-20 and that Nature serves as evidence for God .
