"God"

How many people here believe in God?

If you do, can you also explain what kind of entity you see God as.

Personally I am an atheist, but I like to hear religous people's views.

I thought you didn't drink?

A god.
I'm not *the* god, because otherwise I would have to be all mysterious and move in mysterious ways and stuff.
I'm god of my world, my life and my future. I cannot surrender control to some mythological deity and base my emotions and actions on an archaic cult based on fear and guilt.

Basically, if you have a religion where vodka, drums, shagging and heavy metal are revered, then I'll sign up.

Heheheheh, just stirring the pot. I'm atheist (but not agnostic)

If God did exist, and we could describe him/her/it, I'd think (sod it, her) she would be a burned out tramp, living in the gutter on a diet of meths and binned McDonalds. Just look at the amount of people leaving the church in the last few hundred years. A lack of support like that is bound to drive anybody to despair.

Well in a way we are our own gods, but I don't think even Goatboy will try and claim to be one all-powerful almightily...then again.

shut it, your getting all philosophical and its getting complicated.

yeah but that doesnt mean we all look like God. It just mean we all have qualitys that emulate him.

Well technically, didn’t your parents create your existence and shape you into the person that you are today? Sure you will have had some impact on the person you are, (obviously), but didn’t they "create" you?

thats right?

i dont think it exsits as i dont like to fell that any one is in control of my life. also i guess i have never been brought up in a regious way, so if i cant see it/see what he does for i dont belive.

but the movie Bruce Almighty did really show that if you get what you want it goes all wrong. so you have to make the miricle happen yourself... now im confused.

Nope, I create my own existence.
