Which is better, believing in a god or not?

If the supernatural exists how could it be proven my science of any kind ? How can it me studied if beings like God etc exsist or are real? Makes the whole point of arguing silly is the whole concept of the supernatural is removed from nature or they way we experience it.

Science is the study of how the universe works, nothing more, nothing less. If god exists then science is simply the study of the rules he created that bind the fabric of reality together.

Well if science is the study of the "rules" God set, Then why does almost everything that God does defy those rules? If we cannot study the creator of the "rules" then how can we get proof that something created the rules? This line of thinking throws you into a cycle of contemplation that pretty much just leads you back to "faith."

Personally I'm agnostic, but don't have anything against the concept of religion, just when people use it as an excuse to cause problems. On paper religion is a fantastic idea, the concept, not a specific religion. The only problem is putting the concept into practice, since there is no man made thing that is perfect since humanity is inherently imperfect.

I say God is beyond science and could not be studied in anyway.Sorta defeats the purpose of being all supernatural and stuff. Would be stupid if science could explain him or what he does just like a scientific person explain to kids that real magic does not exsist

I was raised with Jesus in the house, and looking back, it was not good in terms of learning anything.

"Hey mom, how does the solar system work?"
"God."

I was also home schooled, so my early education wasn't the greatest. My parents didn't want me to go to school because they thought they would teach anti-religious views.

Overall, people can believe in whatever they want, but they often forget that a belief doesn't translate into intelligence.
My parents didn't teach me how to learn and question, they taught me how to funnel answers that were too hard to god.
There are some cases of families who are deeply religious having children who achieve great things; props to them. But most religious families (myself included) didn't learn how to learn properly because they want their children to believe that god did everything that cannot be explained, or too complex to explain for the youngins'.

Believing on any sort of god is fine. Letting god control your life and letting it effecting your childrens ability to learn how to learn is another thing.

Your view makes the wrong assumption that the supernatural exists. To support your point, you would first have to prove that it does. Science, however, consistently and constantly proves the existence of the supernatural to be false, usually an exaggeration or an outright lie of the ignorant mind. If you are to prove this, I should advise you of the long, harduous, almost epic path you have to walk, or should I say, wander. I'll explain.

Many years ago, people believed that the only reason the Sun came up in the morning was because they worshiped. They believed that sea storms were the wrath of vicious monsters. They believed that epilepsy was the presence of demonic powers. They belived, and still believe, that people with a deck of cards can tell you your future, they believe that prayer will cure you of illness even though many studies proved this to be wrong as well.

Science, therefore, keeps proving the supernatural to be false which as caused you and other religious people to move God away from it's "evil claws". The thing is though, and another of your wrong assumptions, so far, Science doesn't seem to have an end. We have already reached a point where any conception of God is the result of wishful thinking and faith, a poisonous virtue, and never reason of any kind and there is no reason to assume that Science has ceased.

It seems as though you are saying, God makes no rational sense, therefore he exists and we can't prove him. Well, I'm sorry but when things make no rational sense, you shouldn't believe in them. Santa Claus makes absolutely no sense. Are you going to say he is supernatural and reason can't understand him or are you going to dismiss the whole idea as nonsense?

Yes I can say for a fact that Santa is real. I mean if we have proof of an omniverse/meta verse/multi verse etc then why not ? It would make sense that a supernatural being would have to bring forth everything at some point. Also these beings could exsist in a way/form that can never be explained by science in some other dimension or existence and if this line of thought is fair game why would you reject it ? Anything is possible and I would certainly not rule it out mon ami

show me one single real proof there even is a god. one good scientific proof. and not just a book written by some dude on acid 2000 years ago.

I would like to think that there is no God in existence but, we haven't studied all of existence yet. My personal theory is that there is an infinite amount of different universes out there that are constantly multiplying exponentially. If so then there is no need of a God but, if we find some finite amount of universes or it ends up being just this universe then that for me is proof of a God.

Well a multi-verse theory is plausible, the problem is that religion "defines" God as an omnipotent being. This would mean that God would be the creator of all universes, not just our own. Thus you can further reason that if you can factually disprove the existence of God in one universe, assuming the multi-verse theory is correct, then, using a religious definition of God, that would disprove the existence of God in all universes.

Yea but did humans not create God ? After all he embodies all the quality we want to be manifested in reality right ? So ye God is a reflection of the innate hubris in Fucking humans. Just like everything else Humans project themselves into something to boost there ego and make themselves feel better.

I do Believe that god is exist.

But if you ask do I believe in God...

my answer will be I don't...

Believing in him will cause you to grieving... If you're Halfassed...

As someone who used to believe in God but no longer does, I can tell you I don't see the damn difference.

It's up to you. Your choice.

I think neither is better than the other. If you believe in god, all the power to you, but don't parade around trying to get others to see things your way - I don't believe in god, or miracles. My life is pretty good, too, so I don't need any 'god' to tell me how to live.

And I could care less of people's religious views, because to me, organized religion is stupid. People gathering in the name of a deity? Huh. Have fun believing in god and Jesus, but leave me out of it.

Here’s an old line from those good old fashion family sitcoms:

“As a scientist you are made to believe in hard facts and no matter what it is it there is always some factors to prove it right or wrong.”

“Now as a scientist we can’t expect to believe in something that can’t be proven RIGHT OR WRONG, however it best to believe in God”

Why you may ask? What true harm will come to you when you say “sure he/she exist”

[end of sitcom line]

“I’m not saying follow one religion completely, it just there takes on God.”

Sure I wasted a few minutes praying to no-one but if I was actually praying to someone and their cool with me then cool, if not then that’s cool too.

I just like having that peace of mind.

I think it is more helpful to society if you are a morally good person. Religious peope who spend time yell about homosexuals and damnation, could be using that time to feed homeless children or saving animals from abusers.
