I just try to live right..so whether there is or doesn't matter to me..I just do the best I can with what I was given to work with.

If you truly do not believe in something then, to you, it does not exist - truth is the perception of the individual.\n\nSince there are countless religions with varying ideas of 'god' then they cannot all be 'right' in a strict sense.\n\nI personally do not believe (or feel the need to believe) in  a God - this, however, does not stop a God existing for you.\n\nPeace out.

I do not believe in god because there's no reason to suppose that god exists. If there were any evidence for the existence of a higher power it would have been in the papers.\n\nDespite what you may have heard, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It is not up to me to prove god exists, it is up to other people to prove that he does.\n\nNon existence of supernatural entities is the default position. I require evidence for the existence of Shiva, Zeus, Baal and God. Christians don't believe in Zeus, Shiza and Baal. I'm just more rigorous in my world view.

I do believe in God, but I don't believe that God is a male with a long beard that sits in judgement of humanity. I believe that god is the life force that makes the difference between us being a pile of chemicals, and us being living breathing sentient beings.\n\nNo, I don't believe in heaven or hell. I do believe that consciousness survives death though. I believe in reincarnation, either here or on other worlds or in other dimensions. \n\nBut I guess we won't really know for sure until we get there.

Atheists don't believe in deities, so they cannot be "believers" in that sense.\n\nI'm an atheist who is a "believer" in love, hope, humanity, etc.

You are right not to believe in God.... because you haven't experienced God in your heart yet..... and imo, it's pretty ridiculous to believe without proof! \n\nDirect experience is the only thing that can leave us doubtless, and transform us. And blind faith is not faith! Don't look to others to answer your questions about God, faith.... and the hypocrisy of religious Christianity. Look within your heart: ONLY there you will find the answers: in truth, Love, goodness and (ime) God. \n\nYour heart knows what is from Love and what isn't: Trust it!!

"Think about it, you have to acknowledge that there is a god (higher power) for you not to believe in, right? In that case, wouldn't you be agnostic?"\nTHAT MAKES NO SENSE, SHOULD I SAY: I DON'T BELIEVE THAT GOD EXISTS, IS THAT BETTER?

First of all, I believe God does not exist.\nIf you want a reason then contact me.

I was baptized Catholic and attended Catechism a few times but even at the age of 7 I didn't believe in "God". I believe the "higher Power" is within each of us and that we are all connected on a subconscious level. Now I worship nature.

Satan believes God exists because he has met God, that don't mean that Satan believes in God's ways.  We can believe in God but not accept God's ways... this is one reason that just believing isn't enough.  it's like if you are very thirsty and someone offers you a soda. they tell you that the soda is ice cold, you see the beads of sweat on the outside of the can, so you believe it is cold... you hold the can in your hand and you feel the cold, but if you put that can down without taking a drink your thirst will still be there... even though you know and believe that the soda is there, cold, wet and refreshing, it does you no good to believe and not receive.  same thing with God... we must receive him, (accept him as Lord of our life, and ask him to forgive us of our sins, because there is no place in heaven for sin) so we believe, and receive Christ and his forgiveness.  believing is just not enough

I dont believe in god.\nActually i dont have to "believe" in facts.\nGod is fact, just as ur life is fact.\nJust tell me will u ever say hi to a person u kno but is dead. Then in reality u never say hi to human body but the divine energy that drives him and u.\nSo one dosent have to believe in facts.

If you believe there is something that was not created (god) then you are opening a precedent, paving the way to believing that others things needed not be created (eg, universe).\nTherefore, even those who believe in God shouldn't necessarily believe that the universe was created!

I would and do believe in God.  \n\nIf in the end I was wrong, who cares?  \n\nIf someone does not believe and then finds God is real, whoops!

Yes, I believe in God. I believe in Him because I have seen too much evidence to possibly believe that He doesn't exist. Many athiests/agnostics would disagree I know, but think about it...\n\nIf God didn't create you, how did you get here? Evolution? If someone showed you a Rolex watch and then told you that several million years ago a rock washed up on Miami beach and over all those years changed into the watch you see, you would probably say they were nuts. After all, what difference does time make? If a frog turns into a prince from a kiss immediately, then it's a fairy tale, but if the frog has enough time (like several million years) to turn into a man, then that's science? \n\nYes, I personally believe in God; besides the evidence that He is the only One that could put such complex creations on this planet, I have seen the difference that He can make in people's lives. A changed life is the most amazing proof for God.

I am a Deist.  We believe in God, but do not believe in holy texts.  So there is a whole religion out there that believes in God, but no texts.

I think its harder to believe.\n\nI mean..isn't it always more difficult to believe things that aren't tangible and easily explained? \n\nIt would be much easier for me to say...nah..I don't get it, there aren't enoughh answers....i'm not going to believe in God...\n\nBut I prefer to believe, even though sometimes its harder.

Why should someone believe?  There's no proof.\n\nI find it interesting that so many people equate God with an accountability in their lives.  Are you so terrified that without someone holding a big stick and a carrot over your head you'll do something awful.  Take some responsibility for yourself, do the right thing because it's right, not because you are afraid of the consequences or desire a reward.  How juvenile.
