Do You Believe In God?

[Yil]

No, in this context "nothing" is something. When you die, there's no more "you". You can't see, you can't think, you don't exist. we can't comprehend such a scenario which is why weak-minded people turn to religion which lies in some "everybody lived happily ever after" way.

Mind explaining how I was am able to avhieve astral projection?
Do I have to remind that first god does not have a physical body or a penis and second it is not impossible to just ctreate a child out of one body even with some modification, just not through biological means.
Christian Miracles are not really that special anyway.

Being intangible does not mean it does not exist. Simply these experience, even if they are illusions casted by someone, does not make you non-existant. Beside since it does have some pattern, it is not chaotic either.

Ever since I contributed here I check back once in a while because it pops up in my notifications, but I have no idea what we're talking about now.

I'll just say this: philosophy has no bearing in reality. All it does is act as a catchall excuse for your actions, whether to avoid responsibility or to perform actions that cannot be justified using logic or morality.

I highly doubt you have any reason to think you've actually astral projected. Every study that's ever been done on the topic of out-of-body experiences, for example, shows that people cannot even describe what the room was like while having the alleged experience.

Doesn't mean it exists either.

Not all out of body are triggered intentionally.
Well it is like schrodinger's cat.

You didn't address either of my points.

Okay how do you expect people to remember anything if they are not fully concious and most astral projection are intended to be sent far away.
And can you see ultraviolet, x ray, cosmic ray or gamma ray, or hear ultrasound?

There is no evidence that anyone has ever successfully astral projected. It has not met its burden of proof in any case.

We have direct evidence of these tangible things existing, regardless of whether or not I can see them with the unaided eye.

How about I go to your house and cause some trouble?
That is the point I am talking about.

Do waifu gods exist? I believe in those.

It gladdens me to see that the majority of people here do NOT base their lives on fairytales. It shows progress in our world, maybe there is hope for the future!

 

[Mazamin]

If i believe in a God? No, I usually don't believe things at all without evidence, I need real proof (feelings and voices in your head aren't). The idea of a God in itself is just completely absurd since it goes against all and every logic we have evolved to have.

On the subject of what happens after you die, that's easy. It's nothing. Really, nothing. The neurons in your brain stop firing therefore you can't interpret anything which equals nothingness. It's like turning off a computer, only it'll be such degraded after a few minutes that you can't turn it on again. No matter what religious people argue. You won't be a part of an afterlife since you physically won't be there, and neither will your brain which contains you (it's like copying a file from a flash drive to your pc they will still contain the same data bot won't be the same materia and therefore isn't the same).

It's exactly what I think, but my family doesn't accept the fact that I don't believe in God, and I don't know what to do

 

[Waywatcher]

I voted no because this poll is biased towards monotheistic religions. I do however believe in Zeus, Athena, Thor and Odin, to name a few.

The members of GBATemp are hardly representative of any one country or the world. If it were up to GBATemp members, for example, Donald Trump would be the next president of the United States. That being said, I would assume that GBATemp's members are disproportionately younger people, and younger people tend to be less religious these days. That does show progress.

Tell your family that if a god is all-powerful and wants you to believe, then that god will eventually be able to convince you of its existence and to bring you back into the fold. You should say the conversation should be dropped until then. If you're young and your parents mandate that you attend religious services, you might have no choice but to oblige until you move out. It's stupid, but it's their prerogative to require that while you live with them. Go in and take copious notes on everything wrong with what's being preached at the service, and your parents might be annoyed enough to stop taking you.

Exactly my point.

True to a large degree and plus we have to consider that the countries involved would be pretty poorly chosen since Africa is very very under represented and as as are other areas (Seriously this forum is practically 80% USA and Europe and the rest is Latin America).

Tell them that you have chosen not to believe in a God, and if he now exists it must be his will that you don't believe in him since he's supposed to be "all-powerful".


On a whole other note,
if God is "all-powerful" wouldn't he be able to both exist and not exist at the same time?

Theists have decided that a god is only maximally powerful (i.e. as powerful as it can be logically), not absolutely powerful, in an effort to solve the omnipotence paradox.

so he isn't absolutely powerful?.. that's boring.
