Do you have 100% Belief in Your Religion?

[adambaum]

If there is no god how did the universe come into existence what do u think

I think I'm probably never going to find out how the universe came into existence.

Do you believe in your religion 100% or do you still have doubts. Belief is the most critical ingredient of religion and if it's lacking then so is your religion. Religion after all should provide you with comfort. If you're uncomfortable with aspects of your faith, maybe it's time to alter it.

At the Church of Possibility (churchofpossibility.com) we strive for 100% belief. We recognize that every single person has their own unique religion, even if that religion is under the umbrella of a larger more established faith.

We want you to share your religion with us, create a new one, alter an existing one or discover a belief that is more to your liking.

The leading scientific theory is the big bang, because the universe is expanding it must have started from a single initial point.

The question then arises how could the univers come out from nothing.

If u saw a big pink elephant in the park u would immediately think who put it there.

In the same way there must have also been a cause to the universe.
An aeroplane cannot create itself but it needs intelligence like engineers to design.
In the smae way if we look around the universe you could see perfect deisgn. SO the universe and life must have been designed by a surpeme intelligence who is transcent, outside space and time because he created space and time and must have a will because he chose to bring the universe into existence.

I think your initial premise is wrong. While belief does play an important part in religion, I don't think it can be labeled as the most critical ingredient. There are many religions that place strong emphasis on actions and other factors, and less on belief or dogma.

Religion fills different roles to different people. While providing comfort might be one such role, it's certainly not the only one.

you did not create the universe and you did not create urself because it means u hav to be here and not here at the same time

It is like saying my mother gave birth to herself, it doesn't make sense. You need to start thinking out the box and think about reality

Yeah, I'm not too worried about the whole Big Bang vs. Creation thing. Like I said 'I don't know' is the only honest answer I can give. But I do think there should be more than two options.

It may not be the most critical ingredient, but someone still has to believe in a religion even if it emphasizes action over belief. And of course providing comfort is just one aspect of belief, but to us at the Church of Possibility it is of great importance.

what is making u doubt there is an intelligent creator because if this question is answered it is easy to prove the existence of after life and we don't want to die unprepared because god has given us the ability to think and make decisions and depending on the decisons we make it will affect after life.

I don't doubt it, but I can't say it's true. The idea that God exists is just as plausible to me as the idea that the concept of God is a human invention.

Well, if belief is not the most critical ingredient, and comfort is not the only factor, then there is no need for me to have "100% belief" in order to benefit from religion.

And I get all that I need from religion already.

No there is no need to have 100% belief, but it is desirable.

 

[Tarheeler]

No there is no need to have 100% belief, but it is desirable.

Why is that?

 

[adambaum]

Why is that?

Peace of mind. And fervor, lots and lots of fervor.

 

[Tarheeler]

Peace of mind. And fervor, lots and lots of fervor.

Why does that require 100% belief?

I am completely at peace, and am quite devoted to my religion. But there are things that I doubt.

In fact, I think it is that doubt, and the discussions that often come from it, that allows it be such a robust and dynamic belief system.

It doesn't require 100% belief. Take you for example. As you say, you don't have 100% belief, you have doubts which strengthen your belief. You have rationalized your doubt into something constructive which emboldens your belief system. That's your personal equation. Every person deals with doubt in their own way.

But this is why I asked the question do you have 100% belief. Many people have answered yes, so doubt doesn't figure into their equation. And of course many will answer no, so I want to know if they are happy with their belief anyway and if so why. You have provided a great answer and I thank you for your reply.

Ah, now I see your point.

And I thank you for the compliment.
