I'm just going to give a quick opinion.
I don't believe in god, and i always tought god was created for lost people who have nothing to rely on.

God(if he really exist) can't interfere with our life,that's what I thought.
I'd more believe in the law of Karma (you reap what you sow),because it is more fair .

This is quite a controversial topic...anyways, I honestly have to say I don't think god exists, but I mean it only in a physical way. I don't think there is a being watching over us from the heavens, checking our activity.
But I do think god exists "spiritually". In people's souls or hearts. I think that when people first made a religion or god, they were looking for somebody to follow, or believe in. A "spiritual leader", if I may. God, in that form, I believe still exists, even in the souls of non-believers.
Basically, god is "hope" that we all carry.
If God does not exist, as you say, how can one have a soul?
What is the need of a soul if it has nowhere to go at the end?
EDIT: Never mind >_>. I've got to re-read this stuff before posting....
I don't understand. You believe God does not exist physically, but that he exists spiritually? And even then you go on to say that man made God up. If that is so, then God "spiritually" does not exist either.
Sorry, I guess I don't believe that god exists either way. When I said "spiritually", I meant that god IS hope. Literally. Because our belief in god was strong, god exists. God is a FORM of hope that man created.
So I take back my comment of "being in souls of non-believers". But we all do have hope.
So god as we think it does not exist.
Sorry if anything is contradictory in my comment.

Believe it or not, I just read a Forward in the bible I have at home (well most of it) and guess what, the forward says that the first 11 chapters of Genesis are a myth, or Legends as the author calls it. Even the bible (the forward) says Creationism isn't true. The forward then says that the Bible is not something historic, just a book on a faith.
i saw a show on the history channel a while ago that said the bible was put together by a roman emperor and chritianity was made the official state religeion in an effort to unite the roman empire. 400yrs after christ's death.
also, compare many of the stories to roman/greek mythology. many christian holidays come from pegan celebrations. christmas was the winter solstice, easter was the spring equinox.
but that's just the bible. not so much to do with 'god'.

God as you think it does not exist. I'm still arguing that a Creator exists (or existed) when the universe was made. I still don't have all the facts or ideas down, but at the moment I still believe a creator (call him God or Jesus or whatever) exists (or existed at the time of creation.

Interesting! I'd like to see that.
And yes, pretty much the 1st half of the bible can be said to be taken from other cultures.

I alway believe that bible were created so people can read it and learn the moral to be better person. that is what bible is teaching right? To be a better person. But I do believe in something odd out there with strange force control us. Cuz for example gravity. The scientist can measure it and predict it but can't really explain what it is beside a force that hold us down. But isn't a electromagetic field or anything.

Fact: It is irrational to NOT believe that there is a god. Even though it is irrational it still doesn't prove that there is a god. What people should realize is the purpose of God. That purpose is to provide security and comfort to those who are lost or at the penumbra of breaking down.

That's a good way to put it. I never thought of it that way before. God is like a stuffed totoro. You go to him to share your ups and downs. Even though he doesn't answer you thank him for listening.

i believe that human are actually god itself. why not aren't human were made the same like god? wasn't killing human a sin, that because human is a being with the potential to become god and it is not wrong if i say that writing this post are actually god

That's a nice idea. Reminds of this quote i saw online: In the beginning, man made god in his image...

Sound kind of Panentheistic to me.
I don't think humans were made exactly like god, just in his image, like a mirror reflection but with out all the power. I could be wrong here as I could be wrong with everything.
And yes, killing is a sin. I find it immoral. Take your pick.
If we have the potential to become God, then wouldn't self realization give us that title?
I doubt any of us are God, and yet I still write this. The power to kill someone doesn't mean your God. If that were true, animals would also be God, and maybe even the flu.

If there is a god or creator they no longer have any interest in the earth with what it has become. If there was never a god how did we come to be how we are now? So many questions and no answers, only theory. I feel if god was still interested in the earth that there would be more going on either now or before and no-one would be skeptical! If there was never a god then we will never know because of all the stories that have come to pass. I'm on the fence to tell you the truth. I would love to believe in a higher being because then there is more to this life then I know. And life to me doesn't seem like such a great thing.
