Oh yes, I'm a believer when it comes to God. I will never lose my faith for him. |

I believe in one God, but I believe all religions are imperfect. I was raised in the Christian tradition, and I studied the Bible extensively, but later I also found God in the temples in India, in discussions with my friends and relatives who are Muslim, in the Buddhist teachings. I try to seek what is good and reject what is evil. How do I decide what is good and evil? Partly, I will admit, I do so by listening to my heart, but I am no Transcendentalist. The most important test for me is to try to reject what will cause pain and suffering and to embrace what will create joy. This is very much compatible with the tradition in which I was raised, to respect life, to respect other people, and to love my neighbor as myself. Am I a Christian? I would answer yes, but I am also a Hindu, Muslim, and Buddhist. Some would say this makes me non-Christian. This is an issue of semantics. I identify myself as a lover of God. "One day all men must die, so do not forget about God." This is a sign I helped my driver in India write in English so he could post it in his auto-rickshaw. I like to think it's still there. |

No. I went to church and Catholic school as a young child, and I always questioned it. The idea of a great being didn't make any sense to me. I stopped going to church around 7 years old. I grew up in an extremely tolerant household. Just under my roof our family consists of a Christian, Buddhist, Agnostic Theist, Agnostic Atheist (me), and Pagan. We talk about religion often and still get along great. We are never condescending to each other. I grew up in an extremely tolerant household.

yes i do believe in god but I do not believe everything the bible says... I know lots of people who only believe whats in the bible they don't believe in evolution even though there is proof that it exist... I do believe that there is a god but I do not believe he made the world in 7 days.. I guess you could say I am a man of science but I do believe in god, so i am half science half religion. |

Coincidentally, I believe in God as well as believe him. Coincidentally, I believe in God as well as believe him. |

If there is one thing I've learned from my relationship with God, is that he is love, and desires intimate contact with all of us. Jesus has answered many of my prayers, and outstretched his hand to me, after I've hit rock bottom other times. I was basically raised an atheist, and never set foot in church one day of my life growing up( so much for brainwashing?). Until about a year and a half ago, I was your stereotypical God mocker, who thought I had all the intellect and scientific knowledge to understand this universe we live in. How very wrong I was ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Stockton90 : Whenever I read certain testimonies like this, I think "awesome" because of how I can relate. I won't attempt to tell you my testimony because it could take up 500+ words; I'll keep it short - I was a criminal, then Christ changed my life, which was about 8 years ago. |

tRIUNE : Amen bro! God is truly capable of changing anyone and everyones heart who come to him. A few weeks ago, I watched a testimony of the former serial killer David Berkowitz (the son of sam) and how he found Jesus in prison. A life completely changed, you could see the love and joy emanating from the guy now. I'll post the vid, check it out sometime if you haven't already seen it.

I am more of an agnostic atheist in that I'm not denying the possibility of a god, but also know that the possibility of such a finding is very slim to none. This is just a theory of mine, but it might be possible that the belief in god is a defense mechanism in the human brain when we are in trouble and we use the belief in god to help us through life just as our parents helped us when we where young. |

I have to go with the majority. So no, I don't believe that a God exist. With this I mean that no matter what God you describe to others, huge majority of the world will say that that God does not exist. Meaning that there are thousands of ideas for a God in earth, but the most popular of them only has little over a billion believers out of the over 7 billion humans on earth. So 80% of people say that the most popular God does not exist, and the other Gods are denied by even many more people.

This may sound pretty odd coming from an 11-year-old who's parents are Mormon, but I do not believe in God or any other supernatural being. I have prayed many times, but God has never answered any of them. It's going to be hard, but some day I am going to admit to my parents that I am an Atheist. |

No. Well, not really, anyway. Yeah, sometimes I do believe in the guy. He sends down the small relief, the small thing. But that might just be the world in it's own way. And besides, what about places like Liberia, where child soldiers killed children, drank their blood, and massacred entire populations. Where was God then? Is the guy racist or what? What about 9/11? And what about the proceeding war? Where the hell was God then? And then what about my personal troubles? And my family's troubles? And my neighbor's troubles? We aren't the most faithful family on earth, but hell, my neighbors pray and pray and pray, and they still get nothing. The Mideval people prayed and they got one of the deadliest plagues ever seen on the Earth. If he exists, I'd be wondering if he was trying to protect us or kill us. And "He works in mysterious ways?" Just... why? He can't have just come down here, showed himself, and got done with it? No. Well, not really, anyway. Yeah, sometimes I do believe in the guy.

Just What IS Truth? Does God Exist? - By GuardianZackSince the beginning of time, mankind has asked the unanswered question of God's existence. The truth is, no one person has ever discovered solid evidence that God does indeed exist, but on the other hand there is never enough evidence to support the theory that God does not exist. Think of it as an object; one that you can clearly see in front of you. As far as we are concerned, the object exists because it appeals to the five senses. But let's say that the object does not appeal to the five senses, does that mean that it doesn't exist? Clearly, the only possible solution is that it could or could not exist, and that probability can only be swayed by defined physical proof. Faith is described as belief in things unseen or unknown, and that a person can dictate the existence of God based on what they believe in their heart and soul without physical evidence. This may be all the proof that some need, however it still does not define what they believe or what they know as fact, because there is no physical substance to prove what they think or feel is the truth to others in which they can provide. So many people claim to know the truth, and deface others in their path claiming superior righteousness, but most religious teachings will speak against that very attitude. There are many religious people out there that treat others just as bad if not worse than those who are unbiased and undecided about religion, so there is not a single person that goes without wrong. Just because you believe in your truth does not make it the truth for everyone else, and whether you realise it or not, just as most things are in life, it also doesn't mean that there is one way and only one way; once again there is no physical substance or proven fact that we can use as reference to such a claim. Truth is what we as human beings make it, because we tend to pick and choose what we want to believe as fact and what we choose to see as false, so that our beliefs suit our ways of life and do not interfere with our wants and desires. Such has always been the way of mankind; we refuse to see the wisdom in the paths of others and fear loopholes in our own ways of life, therefore we seek to exile and destroy that which is unfamiliar to us so that we may bring comfort and security to ourselves. So many people get the wrong idea about Agnosticism. They think it means that you do not believe in a higher power, or that you just haven't chosen your path in life yet. It is frowned upon by others because they question the moral values of such people. But how can the moral value of a person be tainted, when they are willing to accept everyone for who they are despite what they believe? How could gaining wisdom from all walks of life and understanding the beliefs of mankind before deciding who you are as a person be wrong? True wisdom and free will comes from walking all roads and deciding for yourself which one is best to take. Closing your mind off to one path and refusing to learn about other cultures, or being told by someone else what you should think or believe is an enslavement of the mind and can only lead to confusion and disaster later in life. In conclusion, Agnosticism is not a religion, but a way of life. One can be an Agnostic and still be theist or atheist. All it really means is that you choose to acknowledge that you are imperfect and do not know all the answers, and that you don't pretend that you know something for a fact that everyone else is unaware of. No person on this planet will ever know our destiny after death until that time comes. So meanwhile, let us learn to keep an open mind, and welcome our brothers and sisters of the world in so that we may learn from them, instead of turning to hate and destruction to prove something that simply cannot be proven. For the only thing that we as simple human beings can prove regarding the future is that we are alive and that we will eventually die; let us all take that knowledge and make the best of it.

I don't. I used to, not all that long ago. Then I started questioning some of the things I believed a little and my opinion started to change. However, it wasn't until my senior year in high school when a friend of mine started doing the same thing that I actually started to doubt my religion (I was a Catholic). It wasn't immediate, but gradually I realized I was an atheist, and since then I've acknowledged myself as such.

I am a Christain, since both of my parents are and I grew up Christain. I'm not very urber religious though. But I do believe in God and Christ, and that there is only one god. And by "not being uber religious" I mean I I have friends of other religions but I don't knock their religions or get into debates with atheists over God's existence.

I have a question though out of curiosity, do you have faith in being saved from Christ personally - or just because you were raised by Christian parents? I hope that doesn't portray as offense but I realize that it might...
