Does God care if you believe in him/her or not, why or why not?

God does care. He just lets you decide which one you are going to serve. God or Satan. He doesn't violate your will. \nWhosoever will let him come. If you serve God then you go to heaven. If you serve Satan then you go to hell. Hell is\nall fire. your soul burns for eternity. It never stops burning. People say it's too hot outside, but hellis way hotter. It's so hot flesh will desentigrate. Ihn heaven you\nhave your own mansion. There are streets of gold, gates of pearl, crystal clear waters, and angels dancing around the throne. Which place will you spend eternity? The choice is yours.

You go girl! You believe in whatever you want to, whatever feels right to you. And dont ever let anyone try and tell you your beliefs are wrong, just because they may be different than others.\n\nMe, personally, i believe in GOD. But i dont go to church, or preach, or all that stuff. I believe, and thats all that matters to me. I dont need to put on an 'act' for people to think i am a good Christian or anything. I am who i am.

NO,\n\nThe burden of proof is on those who believe in "GOD".\n\nYou can't make up a person and say that if you can't disprove his existance then he must exist.

I believe in God. Do I believe he is called God. I dont know - I think there are truths to every religon and that there is definetly a higher power.

Yes, He can.  It's called Faith. not proof.\n\nread Heb Ch.11.  22 Faiths.\n\nIt easy to love something you can see.  God wants your love through the faith of believing.\n\nHave a good week.

to an individual yes(have faith in who ever you believe) but to everyone in whole it shouldn't! (it shouldn't be important to what someone believes in, they are human just like you)\nBut unfortunately, it matters to most people...sigh...

If God exists he/she/it is all knowing & is so not going to care if in your life you picked the wrong religion.  If you are a good person & do your best in your life any God worth believing in would understand.\n\nBelief in God gives me a sense of peace & helps me deal with the pending death of my family as well as my own mortality without fear.  Either way it's a winning situation.\n\nWhat would be sad is if you lived your life being a total jerk & then discovered God in the afterlife... something to think about :)

Whether I believed in God or not, my behavior would change very little.  I believe that life is more pleasant when we treat each other with respect, compassion and generosity, and demand the same from our leaders.  It is worse when we seek to comfort ourselves to the detriment of others.  Promises of reward and threats of punishment are not necessary.\n\nIt's not a matter to me of whether I believe God exists but whether God, as presented, makes sense.  If God created us to endure a series of tests or a rule-bound game, with an absolute reward/punishment outcome, I'd consider that God unworthy of the concept.  If God is a co-witness and fellow traveller who values experience over obedience, whose concept of justice is based on compassion rather than rules, and who would never consider abandoning one of his creatures, I could buy into that.  \n\nGod is supposed to be omniscient and omnipotent.  They say knowledge is power, then they say power, especially absolute power, corrupts.  Not quite true.  As humans, we can never have absolute knowledge or power, only "more" of each.  It is the remaining ignorance and fear that corrupts us because our grasp is tenuous.  Were someone to have absolute control of all power and knowledge in the universe, that person would be invulnerable and would understand everything.  That person would have no needs or threats, and no obligation to "settle" others' conflicts.  That person would be free to either ignore the problems or to objectively show a better way out of them.\n\nIf you are a parent, you may have had an experience of children fighting among themselves, understanding both of them perfectly while realizing that their dispute is meaningless.  Or you may have comforted a child facing a new experience, or cautioned a child incapable of recognizing a danger.  That's what it would be like for God.  Dispassion, wisdom, and patience would be God's attributes.  Anger, revenge and score-keeping just don't fit the picture.  These are the attributes of weak, fearful, childish humans.\n\nThe omniscience we lack is the reason we are in conflict, because we don't understand each other.  The omnipotence we lack means some of us will be stronger than others and we would likely exploit that for the sake of our own security.  God would transcend all that.  Absolute knowledge is understanding.  Absolute power is compassion.\n\nIf God were presented logically, as a loving creator who calls us out of fear into confidence and sympathy, I could go for it. The petty, capricious autocrat painted by Bible-thumpers doesn't make the grade.

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.

YES,l believe God answers and listens to prayer,even when a person is doing something deliberately knowing that is wrong.The reason why some people's prayer are not answered is because first they don't believe in them self's, and they don't have faith.when you ask God 4 anything,you have to believe in what u have asked 4 and have faith that you will receive an answer.thought answers may not come immediately but that does not mean that u should give up.God heal all kinds of sickness,disease ,he is a great healer till today.God is not a man that promises and fails,God sees us ,and hear.All he needs from us is faith ,thanksgiving.patients,praises and u will see what he will do 4 u.even if something was done deliberately knowing that it was wrong,all u do is ask for forgiveness and promise not to do it again.one other reason why some people prayers are not answered is because they were not open minded, thinking they could play games with God which is not so.l absolutely believe that God answers prayers no matter were u are from or what type of sin as been committed .all God needs from you is FAITH,OPEN MIND,HONESTY,CONFESS YOUR SINS NO MATTER HOW BAD IT IS.MY GOD IS WILLING TO FORGIVE,GUIDE,AND ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS .JUST DO THESE AND I PROMISE U THAT THERE WILL BE GREAT CHANGES.AND ALSO BELIEVE THAT YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE ANSWERED.GOD BLESS YOU.

Yes. That's the trouble with BELIEF. You accept something on faith, whether it makes sense or whether there's any proof at all.

Nobody knows for sure.  My opinion is that if there is a God then he would judge us on our actions and our character and not on something as unimportant as blind faith.\n\nBut, truth to tell, there are a whole truck load of folks out there who think I am crazy for believing that.\n\nIn the end - you have to decide for yourself.\n\na

I could be wrong but to me it dosnt much matter!My belief is that our god both yours and mine created us with our own strenths and weaknesses we overcome are weaknesses and build upon our strenths and we attempt to fulfill the purpuses of our uniqe creations!!Meaning we each were created for a purpose known only to our own gods and we attempt to acheive that purpose and at the same time better ourselves!!

You can't force God on anyone they have to except him on there own. Have you ever taken the time to see, if he would be interested in finding God.

I'd say the only opinion that really matters is the opinion of God and I'm pretty sure he likes you.  There is always someone who won't approve of what you do. As long as you're happy and confident that what you are doing is right, then don't worry about anyone else's opinion.

I'm religious, but your question is still offensive.  If someone doesn't believe in God, she or he can still be "nice and kind and good".  (And, as you noted, there are religious people who are not.)  But someone who doesn't believe in God *does* lose something by somehow being forced to believe--her/his freedom of choice!\n\nJust as you have the freedom to believe in your religion, and I have the freedom to believe in what I assume is a *different* one, others have the freedom to believe that we're *both* full of crap!
