Does "God"  really exitst or just a myth?

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.

If I believed a thing was a myth, that would automatically mean I didn't believe in it.  If I believed in something, then I would automatically say it was not a myth.  Atheists believe God is a myth, Christians do not.  I think your question is a paradox.

God magically popped out of phucking nowhere..yeah none of it makes sense if you think about it logically but the religious people aren't open minded enough to accept the fact that MAYBE just MAYBE what they believe in isn't ENTIRELY true

Yes there is a God, and she/he can be found everywhere!! When you look at the sky, when you look at the sea, when you look at your family, when you look at your kids, when you look at animals, grass, food, happiness, when you look at everything that makes you happy, and makes you smile!! When you look at everything that is good, when you look at yourself!! you are living!! life is great!! and all of this is thanks to GOD!! she/he is great!! :D

Agreed.  I don't think the biblical god is God, if there is a god.  I don't think god would be a spiteful, vengeful, mysterious god.  If there is a god (and I am open to the possibility), then it would be a nice god.

yep, God is more into successfull people. he is probably getting bored with all those hungry people begging and praying all the time.\n\ni guess i would have to come to the same conclusion as you have. else it would mean that God is horrible creature, so, i prefer thinking that he doesn't exist at all.

In the infinite universe it is very very likely that the number of Gods is infinite, too. Each God must have a God superior than herself. That is all to it. Either the Gods are limitless or there is no God at all. This is logic . The rest is nothing more than rubbish thinking or "feeling" as they might call it.....

If god in fact exists, and actually did create people, then that is a very interesting point.  So basically what you are saying is, either god doesn't exists, or if he does exist then he is irrelevant.  Sweet.\n\n~Kyle

No, I don't believe in any gods. I have never experienced or perceived anything at all that makes me think a god exists. It isn't possible for me to believe in something that has no evidence for it, that would be like me believing there is a flying cow in this room with me now.\n\nI'm perfectly satisfied with my lack of belief because it isn't contradicted by anything that I've come across. It wouldn't bother me if a god did exist, I would be quite satisfied with that too if that was where the evidence took me. It isn't though, so I continue lacking belief.

I can give some information, but only God can convince you.\nI know this is really long, and I apologize in advance, but to follow the chain of logical reasoning takes a lot of words.\n\nAbsolute Proof for the Existence of God:\nThere’s a lot of really great evidence that God does in fact exist:\n1. The existence of God explains the universal longing of the heart.\nBillions of people have believed in a god, people of differing cultures and times, differing places and customs. Mankind is irreversibly homo religiosis, a religious creature. Even philosophies that had no god eventually had to invent one—this was clearly the case within Buddhism. The Buddha did not teach the existence of a deity, but the Buddha’s followers over the centuries converted Gautama Buddha himself into a god, and he is still revered as such by millions of Buddhists today.\n\nAnd this shift is also a shift to a personal deity. An abstract “force” does not satisfy the needs of the human heart—we need to know that someone is out there, not just something. This same shift was evident within Hinduism. The monistic impulse of Upanishadic Hinduism, with its highly philosophical Brahman, an abstract higher power, was overshadowed over time by devotion to individual, personal gods. We humans arrive on this earth incomplete, sensing a deep need within our souls for the divine. This is the “God-shaped void” in each heart.\n\nAtheism—the denial of God’s existence—simply doesn’t satisfy the longings of the human heart. Man cannot live without God. When people are denied a god, they invent one to satisfy their hearts. \n\n2. Humanity needs an ultimate point of reference by which we can determine our own meaning.\nThis is a point the braver atheists like Sartre have conceded. Their suggestion, of course, is that humanity has no meaning, no purpose, no ultimate significance. We cannot find our significance in ourselves—we long to exist for something greater. As was discussed in the previous lecture, if there is no God who exists and has spoken, we are left absurd creatures whose every action is arbitrary. It should come as no surprise that the fervor of UFO people seems so very religious in its zeal! They want someone to be out there, so that we can have a point of reference from which to consider our own existence! Those searching for extraterrestrial life often argue that humanity’s reason for existence—its purpose and destiny—will only be discovered when we make “first contact” with another life form. I would suggest that that other life form is the One that created us, that made contact for our salvation 2,000 years ago. We find our destiny only in him, for whom and by whom we were created.\n\n3. The existence of God best explains humanity’s sense of right & wrong.\nEveryone has an idea of the perfect, a concept of the good, true and beautiful. This deep moral sense, what C.S. Lewis called the Tao or the Law of Common Decency, had to come from somewhere. Compare the great moral systems of the world through the ages. They are remarkably similar. Faithfulness in marriage, honesty in speech, goodwill toward other people, not shedding human blood, honoring one’s parents—all are moral principles found in every society. Confucius died long before Jesus, but summarized his Law of Reciprocity (shu) by stating, “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.”\n\nThis universal sense of right and wrong, what philosophers historically called natural law, cannot be explained very easily without appealing to humanity’s creation by a moral God. And these moral principles are not merely the products of human cultures. Were this so, we would see a lot more variation from one society to the next. But we find them, not only in every culture, but also ingrained in the human conscience. As Paul explained, God’s moral law is “written on their hearts” (Romans 2:15). This had to come from somewhere.\n\n4. The existence of G

No.  There is no god.  There's no evidence pointing toward the existence of a god or gods, and no reason to suspect that such evidence just hasn't been found yet.

I believe that many deities exist---both known and unknown.  However, I only worship several.  Just because I may not know of or worship a deity does not mean that other deities cease to exist or are "bad".  I respect the fact that others may worship deities that I do not and hope that others return that respect.

When I call something a fact it is not really a fact but rather an assumed fact.\n\nFact: God is defined as being greater than anything that can be imagined. ( The defined as is an important part of the proof)\n\nFact: God exists in understanding. (a person can imagine that a god exists)\n\nFact(dubious): If God exists in understanding, We can imagine him as greater if he exists in reality. ( The idea is if you imagine the great god as only existing in our imagination, and then imagine him existing in reality He would be greater in the case where he exists in reality.)\n\nNow here is the squeeze play. Go back to the definition of god as being greater than anything that can be imagined. Now of the two possibilities, that god exists only in our imagination, and God exists in reality, only the later that god exists in reality fits the definition of God, Therefore according to this logical construct God Must exists. I like to call this a logic box. You build parameter that insures an outcome that God exists. \n\nThe problem shows up in that are all the facts real, and also just because something can be logically shown to fit a definition is the definition true.

Worshiping a god is primitivism. Only demiurges like to be worshiped and higher forms of mind don't need it. People don't have to believe anything and it's a primitive idea to think god is a man who demands people to believe in him. Real gods are way above such things.

Right on brother.  And to all the people who point to 'miracles' that show them there is a god, there are thousands of people who watch the opposite happen to their family member.  What about them?\n\nSeriously, you say you watched some thing hapeen to a relative for a month that should have killed them, but didn't so THERE is god.  What about the 30 year old healthy father of 3 who dies on the the tennis court?  What is his wife supposed to think? What about his 9 year old son?  God works in mysterious ways?  That is all semantic claptrap.\n\nWhat about the 60 year old atheist homeless person who lives to be 90 with nobody praying for him? Please

It is not possible to say 'God exists' or 'God does not exist'. There is simply no proof either way.\nThose that say 'God exists' must at some point take a leap of faith.\nThose that say 'God does not exist' must make a similar leap of faith towards scientific / empirical proofs.\n\nI don't know about 'being sure' but I tend to think that almost all the misery caused in this world is due to human choice and free will. Unless I'm mistaken, there is pretty much all the resource, food and know-how on this planet to keep us all well, fed, warm, housed etc. if it weren't for the inherant greed and desire within us all (not being 'holier than thou' here - don't see me selling the laptop to put food in a starving African - just admitting my failings!) Maszlow's heirarchy of human needs is a good starting point for understanding what we need / what we want and why we choose to proceed upwards as we attain our needs.\n\nPerhaps the 'garden of eden' is a very good analogy for what happens when we have free will. Without it all God's graces were given, as soon as human's chose the 'forbidden' path from their own free will, it all started going wrong.\nBit harsh to blame God for what we have chosen as a race to do with the gifts of creation / evolution?
