I have never believed a god existed, I believed a god did not exist by the age of 11-12 and I knew a god did not exist by 18. No chance. Zero. Zip. Nada. Nil. Vote Humanism, vote now. ha ha caught ya! Disingenuous thread from the start.

And I KNOW THAT LORD GOD ALMIGHTY DOES EXIST. Evidence? Bible ------------------------------ What peculiar logic. By the same token, I could claim that Harry Potter exists. Evidence? It's in a book. Humpty Dumpty exists. Evidence? It's in a book. The Wizard of Oz exists. Evidence? It's in a book. "It's in a book" does not equal evidence. Too funny...do they use Harry Potter Books and these other childrens books you mentioned by ministers, preachers and priests as guidelines of how to live a Christian life?

What does that have to do with anything? You can't go around saying god exists because the bible says so. What kind of evidence is that?

Just because L. Ron Hubbard wrote books that his ministers use to promote Scientology, doesn't mean that aliens exist.

How about this god? He must exist as well, no? Ganesh, the multi-limbed Elephant God is in Hindu holy books. I guess that's evidence enough.

Is this the same book that was a guide to the Spanish inquisition, slavery, misogyny, Jones-town and Waco ?
Christian values are universal secular values, the latter are held by those who do not believe in a Bronze Age Jewish God.
Morality is not evidence of God existing or the bible being true.
In my opinion if Jesus had not been executed the Western world would have progressed quicker, we would have achieved civilization and secular values sooner adopting Greek-Roman philosophy.
Morality did not exactly explode into action under Christianity, it took the age of reason and the enlightenment to change our lives.
Democratic secularism brought true morality, the declaration of human rights is more relevant than the bible.

Scientology is not a world wide teaching, or religion as is Catholocism. The priests are reading the Bible from their I-Pad in many countries.

I guess it's like American Idol. The God with the most votes wins! (Did you know that Islam is rapidly catching up?)

The Jehovah's Witness people also use the Bible as I have talked to many. I just differ with them on many subjects as they don't recognize the book of Revelation as the end days. They believe that the earth as is will be transformed into heaven. Any religion that denies their child medical care or blood transfusions is not palatable in my estimation.

The religion with the most followers is the true one, is that correct? Yes, most religions believe in God. There may be slight differences, but we all have the same beliefs who we pray to as Christians. Tell me, who do people call on when the end is near? For the Muslims it is Allah, but for Christians it is God. I have witnessed people that were atheists call on God in their last days. Too bad they didn't recognize the beauty of God and his goodness throughout their lives.

You guys can sit and mock and deny God all You want. But I will not be quiet while you mock the One thing in life that wakes me up every Day and gives me life, joy, and peace. And when I need Him, He's there. You can believe anything You want. You call us rude for defending Him. That's our job as Believers. If there's a problem with us defending, then I guess there's a problem with you all putting up some picture like the one above^^^^^^^^^ to make fun. It's nasty, and it's rude. Grow up. If You don't believe, then fine, but don't say You know He doesn't exist and then compare him to Humpty Dumpty. Talk about having the mentality of a child. Please.

Are you saying most religions believe in a god or most religions believe in God, the same god Christians worship as their god?

Hello, femmefatale, I have transferred the following quote from the 'God Loving People' thread to this one, as it seems more appropriate to discuss the matter here.
I wish to draw your attention in particular to the emboldened text, above.
Have you overlooked the fact, perhaps in the haste to thank Him for His various blessings, that God has made your week 'a horrible one'?
Do you not think that this is a bit mean of Him?

This IS the God thread, is it not? I put up a picture of a God. The fact that you're calling Ganesh rude and nasty is very insulting to the Hindus. Only pictures of your particular God should be pernmitted on this thread? How rude!

Since that particular picture seems to be so distressing to you, how about this one, of the God of Destruction, Shiva? Will this one render you apopleptic?

....and that brings us back to my original point. I have proof that these Hindu Gods exist. I have indisputable and rock-solid evidence. They're in the Holy Books, the Vedas and the Baghavad Gitas.
Checkmate.
