No doubt, they both believe.

Re: Why do you believe?
No doubt they both believe in god. But did this god create both of those humans just so they would meet up at that moment and help eachother on a plane that day? If so, her prayer to god came way too late, his plan was already in action.DataCruncher wrote: ↑Nov 22nd, 2022, 3:55 am A nice friendly listen - for those of faith.

You would have to ask God that question, but I don't think he'd want to hear you just complain about him.youjustcomplain wrote: ↑Nov 22nd, 2022, 8:16 amNo doubt they both believe in god.

Re: Why do you believe?
Isn't that quite the paradox. In order to understand why someone believes in god, I'd have to ask the god I don't believe in?DataCruncher wrote: ↑Nov 22nd, 2022, 9:24 am You would have to ask God that question, but I don't think he'd want to hear you just complain about him.

Besides, why wouldn't god want to hear my complaint if I had one? I mean, god choses to favor one sports team over another which is evidenced by the fact that the players reveal that they prayed to god for a win that day. It's clear that if god exists, that he listens to all sorts of meaningless stuff from idiots. I'd just be one more if I could ask god my questions. If I could though, I'd likely ask why he didn't provide me any evidence for his existence. Why he created me to be skeptical of him.
And for the record, I'm not complaining about god. I'm curious why people believe in him.

Why do some people believe in a multitude of things?
Conspiracy theories, Alex Jones, Chemtrails,, the list is endless.

However to answer your question " I'm curious why people believe in him "
I have had many experiences throughout this lifetime to believe that there is a greater power, and that there is more to life than what is present. Some, as myself, refer to that power as God, though none have seen.
Q:
You can't see the frequencies your radio, modem, dumb-phone, television etc... are sending/receiving.
So does that mean they don't exist?
And can they affect your thoughts, emotions, experiences, reactions etc.... ?
That said, I would like to share more, however, and for good reason here, won't.
You'll either find out for yourselves, or not, and nothing I or anyone else could state will help you understand.
If you haven't already listened and tapped into the Universe, maybe it's not your calling.

Re: Why do you believe?
Right. I left the question very open ended because I'm curious why people choose to believe in things. That's it. I put it in the religion forum though because that's what I find most interesting.

Re: Why do you believe?
I think you've mixed something up. I'm not an anti-theist. I don't "believe" that god doesn't exist. I just don't believe that he does. I have no belief in god or in no god.DataCruncher wrote: ↑Nov 22nd, 2022, 12:16 pm Q:

I've never concluded that god doesn't exist, just as I've never said that I only believe in things I can see. That would, indeed, be quite foolish.
Can things I can't see affect my thoughts/emotions, etc... Clearly some can. I can't sense, let alone see, carbon monoxide, but I know that too much of it kills me.
It's a shame you can't/won't share your reasons for belief. Your reasons are your own. Doesn't help me sadly.

Re: Why do you believe?
I believe (and I am a christian, though I don't regularly attend church) that there are many many planets out there in our Milky Way Galaxy and millions of other ones that have life on them. I wonder what other religious people believe? It would seem crazy not to think that with billions of galaxies, that each contain millions of planets, that we would be the only tiny planet that sustains life as we know it. Any comments?

Re: Why do you believe?
I appreciate your point and perhaps one day more planets would be inhabited. If one believes in the Bible being the word of God than it would indicate that no other life is out there. For a good reason in fact. Having to do with Gods purpose. But for sure it’s possible one day that can change.pentona wrote: ↑Nov 28th, 2022, 3:04 pm I believe (and I am a christian, though I don't regularly attend church) that there are many many planets out there in our Milky Way Galaxy and millions of other ones that have life on them.
