Do you believe in God?

[teacups]

"Fully 92 percent of Americans say they believe in God, 85 percent in heaven and 82 percent in miracles, according to the latest FOX News poll. Though belief in God has remained at about the same level, belief in the devil has increased slightly over the last few years — from 63 percent in 1997 to 71 percent today."

I feel that far less than 92 of Dis folk believe in God from the various threads here at any given time.

 

[Jillpie]

yes, with all of my being.

 

[teacups]

I voted YES. Always have. Always will.

 

[Bluestars]

Yes. I'm a logical person and logically, something had to create me and life in general. I call that creator God. I believe it is an energy linking everything.

NO - Proud card carrying Atheist

 

[smartestnumber5]

Nope.

 

[honugirl]

I'm the other. I'm not sure. I know that logically something higher than us had to create the universe. But, I have a hard time dealing with the fact that I've spent a lot of time struggling throughout my life and am not sure that a good God would let people suffer like that. I don't understand it. So I'm torn between really believing and being disillusioned. I know I'm not explaining it well. I can't come up with the right words.

Nope...I'm second gen athiest...dh is at least third. I'll expose our kids to a few religious outlooks and let them decide as adults just like my parents did.


Anyways this thread requires a cheesy religion joke.
Q. What does an agnostic, dyslexic insomniac do?

A. Stays up all night pondering the existence of Dog.

 

[Nomi]

I think my dad was an athiest when I was a kid. He's back-and-forth now. When my brother died I really think my dad started thinking about things differently.

 

[pigletgirl]

Yes, with all my being.

I'm not that young so I have lived, loved, and lost and somehow I manage to renew my Atheist Card every year But seriously thanks for sharing

From someone who believes in God.

 

[NYDisGuy]

I believe in God but logic has nothing to do with it.

 

[SteveInBrooklyn]

Other. I want to, and I try to, but more often than not I can't. But I believe in belief. I think belief in a benevolent God is a great achievement in the history of human ideas.

 

[Cool-Beans]

God, heaven and hell - yes.

Miracles - I don't think He's performing them these days. Well, He is finding DISers' missing paperwork and necklaces and such. But biggies like the parting of the Red Sea - not so much.

 

[Dolce27]

Yes.
