So here's another poll of mine, this time a multiple choice one.

Yes, I know this will most likely lead to another religious debate, but given that the outcome of the last one was not a flame war and the thread didn't need to be locked, I'll take my chances with this one too.

Just tick the boxes for the choices which have had some effect on whether or not you believe in God.  Please don't spam the poll by selecting all choices, the reason I made this is (like the last one) because I am genuinely interested in the results.

Ok...

This is a simple one "I don't believe in God" - checked!

I take it this is a christian only poll, other wise it would be "i believe in a god etc.."

I'm quite surprised that 2/3 of the votes (which is over 2/3 of the voters) so far have gone for 'don't believe'. I would have thought there were more 'believers'

Well a God is a God, believing in "a" god is the same as believing in God, just in some religions their God has a name, whereas our God doesn't (just the "god" title).

Anyway, I don't really believe in God.

It's for any religion which believes in a god (be it single or multiple ).

Not really... think of spiritualities with multiple gods. Saying "I belive in god" wouldn't be right for them would it? (well technically yes, but not practically)

edit: segosa's above post solved the 'issue' anyways...

Once again another thread that makes me look like some religious freak

I believe in God not only because I believe what the Bible says but also because I find it difficult to accept that earth's creation was a coincidence. If you look at it from a rational point of view it's impossible to explain how the first particle of matter was formed.

I believe that the human being is so complex (digestive system, respiratory system, and more importantly, our ability to think and reason, etc) that it's hard for me to imagine that it was all the result of a coincidence or a random formation of atoms. That's very unlikely according to the theory of probability.

But it's not only the human being, it's earth itself. Everything (including the universe) is so complex that (in my opinion) it's absurd to believe that all this is the result of the "Big Bang". It's not only the complexity, but also the fact that earth is beautiful: water, trees, mountains, grass, and as such I believe it must have had an "architect and builder" (a creator).

I would also like to say that just because we can't see something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, although of course, at the end of the day it's all a question of beliefs.

Anyway, that's basically the reason why I believe in God. I probably didn't explain it properly but I hope you understand me.

No.

I want video proof of him doing stuff, then I will believe in him!
