My perspective of the Christian god is that he doesn't exist

which one is "Christian God" again...that statement sounds stupid

God is seasons and or Time... NATURE

God is not only Kind but very brutal.. KARMA

We are the agents of this God.. both positively and negatively.. cos God has never done anything by self except through us.

Without YOU, God cannot exist.
YOU leave here.. God leaves.... YOUR LIFETIME.

It is the religious invented God that has caused this confusion and unbelief.

God is as real as you and me . U best believe that if you want a more purposeful life. *Drop mic

tempest69:
God is 100% Love and not the same God the Christians call upon to kill or burn there enemies nor the one the Muslims kill for..

God has no religion but UNIVERSAL..

ANY SHORT IS MANMADE

God bless you. My point exactly. I'm not an atheist, cus I biliv there's God. But God didn't create any religion. Religions are MANMADE. Live, love, do good, nd die eventually, dats all

engrchykae:
both the Greeks and Romans have their pantheon of gods where Zeus and Jupiter rule supreme.
Maybe the right word shouldn't be God.
Maybe we should address it as NATURE.
Whatever is responsible for the great and infinite intelligence in nature is AWESOME

Sure they did, but there were also few men like Democritus of Abdera a Greek colony in Ionia who was one of the earliest know atheist, in fact he is now regarded as father of the atom. Also, in present day western societies the number of religious people is still significantly larger. But the superior advances of both ancient Greece and the west were developed not through the method of religion but through rationality.

To buttress my point consider the example of China, even though it has a very large population and a rich culture it was brought into submission by werstern powers through the use of advanced weaponry developed through rationality. But China has learnt its lesson, and has actually succeeded in almost closing the gap between her and western powers by using the same technique which was used against her. No wonder China is sending her citizens to go acquire STEM knowledge in western institutions of learning.
But at the same time is work very hard to curb the spread of western religious beliefs on its homeland.
This is because China has realized that the secret of the west's superior advancement is in their application of rationality to the problem and mysteries confronting humanity.

In Africa on the other hand, our people are priding themselves as the new custodian of the Abramahic religions, whilst vehemently rejecting rationality; the true secret that has been used and is still being used by nations to achieve true advancement. Really sad.

Born a muslim, grew up a Christian, and now i'm scared to admit im gradually tilting towards atheism. Growing up i had so much questions about religion and spirtuality that were left unanswered. The cleric speaks with so much certitude about the existence of God and how he works but when you ask certain questions, you are asked not to delve into area that is beyond human understanding. So many religions, so many contradictory practices, yet 1 God, and worse still an adamant assertion by each of these religions that their position on spirtuality is right, while those of others are wrong and Will ultimately lead to eternal damnation.

similar story with me

my believe in God is borne out of awe at his works.
I am not talking based on what the Jews or the Moslems said but based on personal findings.
Imagine as little as an ant is,it has brain,stomach and other organs and a whale also has its organs.
We must refer the intelligence behind nature in order to be humane.
Then we must study nature and creatures in order to be civilized.
Then we must exploit or pattern our inventions after nature in order to make technological breakthroughs.
By studying the birds we made airplanes.
By studying ducks we made ships.
By studying the eyes we made cameras.
The problem of Africa is that we deliberately refused to produce.
We are mentally lazy

Subjectivity does not deny existence of truth, it is only an affirmation that truth exist somewhere in the midst of the conundrum.
Your responsibility is to find that truth, you don't find it by shying away from it.

why do you say the statement sounds stupid?

No one builds any structure on rebellion and expect it to be insulated from rebellion. If I break away from someone, I must expect others to break away from me. If you doubt, ask Martin Luther how far?

God is 100% real.

What do you have to say?

God is a Supreme being, creator of heaven and earth. According to prof. Emerson; what I see make me to believe that there is a Supreme being that created them. Ofcause they didt jump into being on their own accord. A lash at Atheists. He sent Jesus through whom you and I must be saved to make heaven.

Still searching, trying to get all possible information. Just need a physical manifestation

looks like we are in the same shoe. Need a direct and personal physical manifestation

OtemAtum:
God is Existence
God is the Multiverse
God is Energy
God is the creator of gods like Allah, Yahweh, Atum, Moloch, Odin, Mazda, Nzame, Nyame, Jupiter, Olorun, Chukwu, etc
God is GREAT!!!

How lost thou are .

god does not exist. It is a figment of imagination. It is no more real than the goblins in Lord of the Rings.

God is whoever he says he is, God.

Faxole:
God is the creative force that constructed the universe. God is the source of all that was created and God resides in every of its creation. We all have a spark of God in us.

Interesting. Can you elaborate on this?

Haganah:
Please remove Allah!

Yahweh? Chai. Blasphemy.

Yahweh is the Hebrew name for Jehovah the most High God! All these other ones you mentioned are concepts of god created by men.

Thank me later.

Jehovah was also created by men! The invention of a tribe that styles itself as the Master Race.

Don't be a Jewish slave.

Chikita66:
Only a fool says there is no God.

And there are libraries of books calling the religious FOOLS.

The line you quoted was written by a retârd few millenia ago.

The opinion of such fools doesn't count in the 21st century.

I respect your honesty.

Bennycollins:
Can you give us the authentic answer to th question "how did the world begin"? Which is not man made.

What makes you think the world began? Who's to say it hasn't always existed?

Tohzara:
Interesting. Can you elaborate on this?

I believe God to be the creative consciousness that existed before time, before the big bang and before the creation of the universe, and that consciousness decided to explore its own being by differentiating into different forms of being and different levels of consciousness.

So in essence, we humans are God expressed in a unique form and with a unique kind of consciousness, and within us is the spark of the divine, creative consciousness of God, as is within every other expression of God.

Sounds a great deal like Pantheism. God is the Universe---the universe, along with everything in it, is an expression of God. Makes sense.

But what do you think is the objective of this God? What is its purpose? Its telos? What does it aim to achieve?

Do you believe in an eternal universe? Do you think the universe is cyclical or linear?

Yeah my religious view is sort of Pantheistic, but with some modifications.

I can't say for sure what the objective of God is. I don't even think I possess the cognitive capacity to comprehend the workings of the mind of God, let alone its intentions. But from contemplation, I would conjecture that God's motive for creation is the experiencing of various possible forms of existence.

I don't think I am enlightened enough on cosmology to answer this question. But I'd say that the accurate answers to your questions would seem both perplexing, counterintuitive and contrary to orthodox views of science.

I like your caution. You love treading lightly and are never in a hurry to conclude. That's an enviable trait, if you ask me.
