Are you God believer (Yes/No)?

[Kartari]

Hi Godobeyer,

Read my poll question again :
Are you God (Allah,Jesus,YHWH,Krishna...etc) believer ?

...etc mean what ?

This question seems to be asking if I am a monotheist, if I'm a believer in one of the monotheistic deities from the world's religions. Only people who believe in one and only one God (Jews, Christians, Muslims, and maybe Hindus) would be expected to answer "Yes," while everyone else would probably answer "No" including polytheists.

But I get the impression from later posts you might have intended to be broader, to be more inclusive of polytheistic faiths as well?

I can appreciate the difficulty in learning and writing proficiently in additional languages. If I may make a friendly suggestion to help you to be more clear in the future, if you intend to ask about theism more broadly (i.e. one or more gods, not just one and only one god), try using the plural form of the word god with an "s" at the end (i.e. "gods"), and with a lower case "g." The term "God" (capital "G," singular) always indicates monotheism in the English language.

For instance, asking this question instead: "Do you believe in one or more gods?" Or even more simply: "Are you a theist?" Both monotheists and polytheists would be expected to answer "Yes" to either of these questions.

Hello I was referring to poll question and option,look above

I point out what I think irrational and human fiction.
Allah appears more like a 7th century warlord than Almighty All Knowing God. The sort of god image I would expect from 7th century followers of Muhammad. I see the same thing in all the Abrahamic religions, a god image that resembles the humans who invented Him.
That's why He's always male, because women didn't have much input.

I see no reason to think God judges monkeys or stars or humans or anything like that. We judge things, because we have such limited perceptions and intellectual powers. God doesn't have those limitations.

You may have very optimistic opinion for God than me,I wish to agree
Because its all up to Him nor you or me.

 

[Smart_Guy]

Ha, believers win.

 

[LuisDantas]

More like there are more of them...

 

[Rick O'Shez]

Ha, believers win.

Most people used to believe the earth was flat.

 

[Godobeyer]

Ha, believers win.

We will win also in hereafter inshallah

 

[Smart_Guy]

More of them, flat earth, flat tire, whatever... we win haha!

God does not exist or whatever, numbers don't lie and the poll says we win

Or are numbers only count when it's against believers?

24 for believers - 17 for non be-leave-errrs wahaha

 

[The_Fisher_King]

Ha, believers win.

We will win also in hereafter inshallah

But believers in what exactly? You see, I answered yes, I believe in God. But whilst my God has the same Name as your God, there are some pretty fundamental differences - my God, for example, is not the Creator of the universe...

It was a bad joke really. Sorry about that.

No worries, no offence taken. But I'm still not clear on what Godobeyer is interested in knowing with her/his/their poll (and I don't think I'm alone in this).

Godobeyer, do you want to know how many of us are believers in one god, whatever name we use to refer to that one god (compared with the number of people who do not believe in (only) one god, i.e. they might not believe in any god, or they might believe in no god, or more than one god, or one goddess, or more than one goddess, or more than one god and goddess, etc.)?

One God(s) VS there is no God.

 

[The_Fisher_King]

One God(s) VS there is no God.

Thank you for the clarification! (I'm assuming that when you say 'God(s)' that includes Goddesses too)

 

[The_Fisher_King]

One God(s) VS there is no God.

And what do you define as a 'God', by the way?

 

[Gyrannon]

24 for believers - 17 for non be-leave-errrs wahaha

You forgot 1 Neutral cause I don't claim that God exists or doesn't exist cause I dunno.

 

[Rick O'Shez]

Humph. We need more atheists on the forum, perhaps RF can offer free Guinness or something.

I believe that is not the way it is. The God of Abraham judges and forgives but the invented gods always did what people wanted at least in the people's minds that invented them. Even today people would not look for a God that judges them but instead look for one that will let them get away with murder.

I don't believe He has mentioned why He represents Himself as male but I do not doubt that He is comfortable in female form as well through the Paraclete. People who invent gods often make them female.

I believe God judges us because we should listen to Him since He knows what is best but we don't.

I wish you luck but I believe you don't have enough information. That is the way it is with the Gospel also.

A heaven full of theists? Not very appealing I'm afraid.

Oh, tut tut, mon frere, it just means we still have much work left to bring folks out of their self-induced intoxication.
