Stellar Posted January 2, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I've made this thread because I'm quite curious about something.... I'll tell you guys the reason I created this thread after I get a good toll... I dont want to risk influencing the outcome, but I'll tell you this: If the results are the way I expect them to be, it'll be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaginCajun Posted January 2, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2005 it depends on what you mean by god. *trick up a sleeve* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 2, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 2, 2005 (edited) I think god in some shape or form exists, but not like the Christians picture it, and if he/she exists, it's not in the Christian form. Why is it god anyway, I like the sound of the Goddess much better. Edited January 2, 2005 by The Raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings of Selkhet Posted January 2, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Didn't we just have a thread like this, Stel? I could've sworn...oh well. Anyway. I know he doesn't until proven otherwise, so, yeah, that's my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Ol Skeptico Posted January 2, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I KNOW God exists. I'm here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverCougar Posted January 2, 2005 #7 Share Posted January 2, 2005 I could say he doens't exist.. but then who am I to say that he doesn't, yet the ones I believe in do? For those who need him, and have faith in him yes. For those who don't, no. For other's, they have thier own gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat_Kloud Posted January 2, 2005 #8 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Why isn't there an "other" choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnSide Posted January 2, 2005 #9 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Everyone knows my stance. There is no other choice because you either believe, or you don't, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings of Selkhet Posted January 2, 2005 #10 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Well, actually, there should be an "I don't know" option. Because some people just honestly don't. I went through that for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat_Kloud Posted January 2, 2005 #11 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Hm well I guess since it is directed to only ourselves... See, I beleive that if one believes enough in something, it becomes real to them. If that makes any sense. But to me, no. God does not exist, at least the way people think of a god.

RaginCajun Posted January 2, 2005 #12 Share Posted January 2, 2005 burnside, with that "thing" pointed at me i guess i have objections... at the end we'll see which side most members on UM will have more allies for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitlin_mcfly Posted January 2, 2005 #13 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Isnt the idea of a goddess a fairly new one? it just seems to me that if this goddess was the one and only god then wouldnt she of made herself more present in the past? as for me, everyday i expierience proof of god, just me being here, i dont like the thought of evolution because that would mean that we r just a cosmic coincedence, i know that i have a purpose on this earth, and i wouldnt have a purpose if i were only a coincedence.

Stellar Posted January 2, 2005 Author #15 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Its not a trick question. No "yes and no" answers by saying something like "well, if he believes it enough, it becomes real for him." its simply as its written, what is your stance on god. Yours. But wow, 13 replies already!?

Goddess worship was the first sign of deity worship humans had. But when they got more hostile... they took to waring gods... and made females property and supordinant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, well, in that case, I'll have to define god as conciousness, in order to avoid people calling something like a particle, god. Hmm, we've got 10 to 5... I'd like to bring at ratio closer together if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
