For those of you that say you don't believe in God and have your reasons, can I ask you all do you believe in other things like ie - Aliens? if so why?

Well my own personal beliefs come from things that i have seen and heard with my own eyes and ears....i don't see it as faith because it's not something that you just take faith in what you read about or what someone else tells you....its more about taking literal facts....to me it's like telling me that I am not real I know i am i can see me hear me and feel me....that's not faith....make sense?

i dont believe in God because i am a man of science and there is little scientific evidence to support religion. Aliens however have a lot of scientifical eveidence to back them up. In fact it is near impossible that aliens DO NOT exist.

What makes you think that Rambo??? How do you know for sure? What makes you think out of this entire huge almost never ending universe that life only exists on this one simple tiny god forsaken lil planet we call earth???

Well I stick with science so I believe that theories of there being 1000000000000000000000 galaxies is probably proving that it is very LIKELY to have some sort of being other than what we have on earth. However there are times when I wonder about God as if He is true but I am not as sure about God as E.T.'s.
For other things such as werewolves and demons, I don't believe in them. I believe that they may be possible but certainly not probable. _________________ Physics, physics, physics

Hmmmm. I believe that there are other forms of life in this universe of ours. Those that claim otherwise are as conceited as the mediveal peasants who thought that the earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it.
And as Rambo111 pointed out, scientifically proving aliens exist is a lot easier that proving the existance of god.
As to werewolves and vampires? There are still aspects of mental illness that we are still just beginning to learn about.
IMO, there is a god. However, unlike the beliefs of many on this planet, the god I believe in does not sit in judgemnet, nor rewards those that worship him/her/it. It simply IS. If anything, I believe that we are all 'splinters of god', here to experience all that this universe has to offer. Both the good and the bad. _________________ Masks reveal what they conceal.

I don't believe in a conventional God as such, but I do believe there is some kind of "higher power". I feel that all the different religions have a different name for this power. God, Allah, it doesn't matter what the name is I feel it is the one and same. The only thing I disagree with regarding the conventional religions is to the extent that its institutions have claimed to be "the only way" and have sought to deny freedom to others and to suppress other ways of religious practice and belief.

There is also no proof there aren't higher beings. It's funny I started out with science and ended up with a religion that I could match up with my science for the most part. What don't match the science the religion is flexible enough to change. That is what is nice about an earth base religion.

I am a christian and I go to church every week without fail, if I dont I will have to answer to God come judgement day.
I am thinking of teaching Sunday School to all the little children at our church.
I know there is no proof of God, but I feel he is always with us, and others should give God a chance,and accept Jesus as our savior
Peace be with you all

I wouldn't say what I believe in is a "being" as such... I personally visualise this higher power as Nature. _________________

I don't see God as a person or being. All things originate from one source of pure energy. Everything we see, and don't see, was created somehow from one thing somewhere IMO. I picture that pure source of energy as God. _________________ To be....or not to be........what was the question??

I have always tried to convey the message that god speaks to many, with different tongues. One persons belief is as valid as the next. Since belief in a deity is a personal experience based on "FAITH", there is no way to actually KNOW you are right until the time comes for you to pass from this life to what lay beyond.
It is my belief that god appears to a person as that person expects of god. If you believe that god is a white haired man who sits in judgement of your life, then that is what you will find. If you believe that heaven is Paradise and 70 virgins await you, then that is what you will find.
For myself, I believe that when I die, I will become one with the creator. Again. And share my experiences of this life with him/her/it.
If god created everything, then god cannot experience it. He is literally, "outside the box". By splitting pieces of godself off, god can experience life outside of itself. We are those splinters of god.
