I believe there is a manager of the universe,an intelligent force far greater than man,but its not the god of the bible,but most people call it god because this force I talk about has no name,if you know what I mean.

No. Unfortunately, the advance of technology and mobile telephony has made redundant the vast majority of public telephone booths and so the particular image of "God" that you are assuming people will hold and be trying to defend, couldn't find anywhere to change out of his suit and into his superman outfit in time to divert the missile. hth |

I'm with Brassneck on this one.
I believe there is a God, or whatever you want to call it, but that it is not represented by any religion on this earth. Grant Williams wrote, 'Man created God in his own image', which about sums the job up. I get a visit each month from two ladies who are Jehova Witnesses. 'Who was it,' I asked 'first thought of a God?' For my part I believe it was someone who saw the opportunity to bend others to his will. 'God has just told me that you should put twenty shekels in this little bag each month and I am to look after it for him.' For doing this you will get to go to paradise, have seventy-two virgins, and free ride on a bike of your choice for ever after. And the one question that no one ever asks is, 'How do you know?' Rant over. William |

How hard is it these days to be realistic - just asking.

Yes dewey but only in the form of Mother Nature although I would prefer to call this force Father Nature.
When you consider all the suffering in the world then it's hard to see how people can believe in a God as depicted in the bible. A loving God we are told. How could it be a loving God when millions die agonising deaths every year through starvation alone. |

yes,i think that god was made by man.and if their was no bible god it would be necessary to invent one.because the bible god gives us all hope of life after death.Now the real force that controls the universe,and has it working like clockwork(according to the experts)is not all forgiving and not all merciful ,but if we are to believe Einstein and company if is a force of intelligent design.So what we have are two contenders for the position of a super power.A bible god and an intelligent force.The bible god claims to have created the intelligent force,and if there is an intelligent force surely it has created the thoughts of man to invent the bible god.so is it possible that we have two gods in different places.now comes the crazy part,the photon can appear and disappear ,and turn up where ever it likes ,and can confuse the observer.thats what science says.so maybe the two gods are the same force in disguise.(try understanding that post

People want a God that will eliminate suffering, and death, and not winning the Euromillions, an all-powerful buddy who will fix it for them. If he doesn't prove his love to them he can't exist.

Cardiff ----- George is good. The murder comment is about a quiz in a book by Michael Tellinger (Slaves species of the gods) - try the quiz if you can get a copy of the book - its a quiz that would not go down to well at the church social quiz night!
The only thing I worship and believe in is the little yellow ball of fire in the sky that pops up every morning in approximately the same place at the same time, year in year out for millions of years - if it don't come up we are all fooked ! But isn't Christianity just a modern form of sun worship, an anthropomorphism of the sun (the sun of god, the sun of the creator of the universe (god)) - too deep for this time of night. |

The answer to the question is obviously yes - billions do - it's an inevitable result of evolution!
My Dad did, my Mum does.. all the older generation I know do. I don't brother doesn't, daughter's don't, grandchildren wont. |

I definately don't believe in God, but I don't have a problem with people that do. (I can get a bit p*ss** off with Jehovah Witnesses though).

I have never influenced my children or grandchildren either way. They have the right to make their own minds up.
|

By:
dewey,would you allow you grandchildren to be Spurs supporters,and you knowing that they would go through life never knowing what it is like to win the premier league.bet you would take them to see the mighty gunners if they came home from school and said they wanted to be spurs supporters.because I know you are a caring grandparent and what the best for your grandchildren.

JH's and other so-called religious outfits bug me big style too.
If you want to know if God exists - and REALLY want to know - be absolutely true to your heart and invite Him in. It's quite simple really ... but a bit difficult to live with. Life's a journey, not a destination.  |

The universe is actually an illegal experiment in the God world.
Think about it. It says in the bible that God is a jelous god and you can only talk to him. Imagine if another god walked into the room... "Whats that you've got there, God?" "Nothing!" (Putting the universe behind his back and trying to look nonchalant) "Oh ok" and the other god walks out of the room thinking that gods a bit sus. "Shh, my pretties, only talk to me, right?" That explains why theres so much badness and term oil in the world. It's an ilegal experiment! There really is nothing to to at 5am is there. Oh well time to get reddy for work soon. |
