Questions For Those Who Don’t Have Religion But Believe In God by Nobody: 2:42pm On Jun 03, 2019
Originally I was an Orthodox Christian but some years ago I abandoned religion and became a non-believer in God. But one or two years ago I started to seriously think of the possibility of something higher/God being in existence. My questions are,

• What type of God is God? For example, is God Alien like Ancient Aliens theorists believe? Also does God want to be worrisped like Christian or islam God?

• Did God completely created us or just partially modified us? Is God experimenting with us for fun or is he serious?

• Do you believe in the afterlife? If so which type of an afterlife? Do you think the type will be decided by God or our deeds or random or our choice?

• Is it possible to spiritually or physically connect with God in this life? If so how? By praying or other way/s?

• Do you believe in miracles?

Sorry for the numerous questions. Answer only what you think you know. Thanks!

Impressive.
I wish I could answer all ur question but am not good at typing.
1 : There is No God
2: Humans are 3 Dimensioal being
There are other higher dimensions but we can't see or observe them because our brain is not wired t do so.

The God which many people believed said He created Mankind in his own image and Likeness..... Meaning that God is a 3D in nature.
If God is in higher dimensions, then we are not in his own image and Likeness.


Take time and study about Dimensions... It will help u understand the Universe.

Just as in ants and other creeping animals who are in Lower dimensions, while u joyfully watch an ant craw and move from point A to B, the ant is not seeing you .


Aliens exist. They are creature of higher dimensions. We may wait for years thinking one day we may see them.....LOL that day will not come. They are here , they smile at us the way u smiled watching an Ant

No, am not.

Am an Agnostic..... One who doesn't believe there is God due to lack of verifiable evidence but is willing to accept if u have evidence.

I don't have problems with religious people. I don't discuss them unlikely the atheist

My type of God is the one I refer to as source energy

The expression source energy is a borrowed term which perfectly describes what I think God is. This energy is responsible for everything in existence. I do not think God or source energy needs any form of worship. God or source energy is not human and for this does not need worship

Your second question is difficult for me to answer. I do not know how 'God' created the world but I believe the world and everything in it began at a point in the distant past. I believe the beginning was triggered by source energy

Is there and afterlife? Based on an experience I had in the past I believe there is an afterlife. I can't tell you the exact nature of the afterlife as I have not had much experience. Nobody goes to hell. We are all parts of source energy. This means that if we are sent to hell God has sent himself to hell.

Is it possible to make contact with source energy (God)? Yes. Imagination, thought and emotions are the tools with which we can make contact. Prayers, though it incorporate thoughts and emotions, is not too effective due to the concept of God that is petitioned

Miracles are natural phenomenon. It really does not have anything to do with God answering your prayers However it helps to believe in a God answering your prayers as it helps to deepen your belief which can lead to a miracle. If you are familiar with the placebo affect and how it is used in modern medicine, you would get to understand better how miracles can be triggered by belief. So I believe in miracles but not to the extent of living for a miracle in other to prove or glorify a deity. It is waste of time and energy

Interesting..You've clearly outlined the qualities of a religion tolerant atheist cos you've failed remarkably in exhibiting agnostic qualities by stating
Alzirida:

1 : There is No God
You probably should change this statement as it only portrays you as one that is certain there is no God and not as an agnostic.

Agnostic
A person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (such as God) is unknown and probably unknowable
broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god

I hope you have you have not misunderstood me

I never said my God or there is a God called source energy. I only used the term to describe what I think God represents and I did mention that it is a borrowed term.

To answer your question, I would say since it is the source of all it should not have a beginning.
Beginnings and endings are features associated with physical manifestations. However if it has any kind of beginning I would not know

well I think god is just a failed hypothesis created by ancient who could not comprehend a lot of things so they had to invoke god (gods of the gaps).

Did God completely created us or just partially modified us? Is God experimenting with us for fun or is he serious?
first there’s is no evidence for any intelligent designer which is a term coined to represent god. Secondly we do not know the first life form but the Abiogenesis hypothesis is working on it and it has shown evidence of how life can arise from non living matter.

Do you believe in the afterlife? If so which type of an afterlife? Do you think the type will be decided by God or our deeds or random or our choice?
I do not believe in the afterlife cause there is not enough evidence for it.

Is it possible to spiritually or physically connect with God in this life? If so how? By praying or other way/s?
is there a way I can communicate with power rangers or Santa Claus

Do you believe in miracles?
no I do not.

I THINK THEY'RE THE FUNNIEST GROUP. REALLY.

THEY CLAIM TO NOT BE RELIGIOUS, BUT BELIEVE IN AND PRAY TO GOD. THEY ALSO BELIEVE THIS GOD IS IN CHARGE OF THEIR LIVES AND THE WORLD IN GENERAL. BUT THEY'RE NOT RELIGIOUS.

IT'S NONSENSE IF YOU ASK ME. HOW CAN YOU NOT BE RELIGIOUS BUT STILL BELIEVE IN THE GOD YOU INHERITED FROM YOUR FORMER RELIGION? cheesy

It doesn’t mean I believe in all the above questions I ask. I asked just to know other options.

You can believe in a higher being/think and still be non religious. Religion I think is just a system of believing in God. I don’t follow the system. Yes I asked about pray, miracles but presently I don’t believe in those. Not 100% but I highly think there is an intelligent being who created or modified us.

It doesn’t matter from where I get the idea of God but to correct you no I didn’t got it from religion because the God I think of now is almost completely different than the Christian God. Also even if I got it from the previous religion it doesn’t make religion right.

I think I am not perfectly qualified to be in the category you wanted here because I don't actually do the 'belief' stuff. I am a knower of what God Almighty is. I have seen that there is no separate entity we can actually call God, rather, the TOTALITY OF EXISTENCE sum up as God Almighty.

Therefore, you, me, Allah, Yahweh, sand, stone, water, animals, words...everything in EXISTENCE sum up as God Almighty. We only go from one realm to another to experience different things. We also have powers to change the world with our decisions, our boldness, fearlessness, etc.
