Does God exist?

[Autodidact]

This thread is to debate the question of the existence of God.
I hope we can have reasoned, civilized conversation about this important issue.

So:
Does God exist?

What do you mean by "God"?

 

[MW0082]

I think if there is a god, no one has properly defined him yet. There isn't a religion that describes some one I would like to follow..... God is energy, to me energy is all around us

 

[angellous_evangellous]

Does God exist?

Yep.

''''''

 

[The_Evelyonian]

I see no reason to believe that one does.

 

[Onkara]

Yes, God exists.

:no::beach:

 

[angellous_evangellous]

Now this is a heated debate!

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

Yep.

''''''

Yes, God exists.

What do both of you mean by God?

You must have some concept of God if you can say that God exists; what is it?

Edit: also, how do you know?

 

[The_Evelyonian]

Yes. That "reasoned, civilized conversation" didn't last long at all, did it?

 

[Onkara]

God is the creation as well as the creator, there is no difference.
God creates a divide so that we think we are separate from the creator. This dividing power is a part of the creation itself. There is nothing which is not God. So the question "does God exist?" overlooks one's own existence as a requirement in order for the question to be asked in the first place.

I think we should start with a more significant question.

Why is it important?

Good question, is it important to you, dear Willamena?

 

[Willamena]

Yep.

There you go. Debate over.

 

[Willamena]

Good question, is it important to you, dear Willamena?

Leonard Cohen's poetry is important to me. (And yes, that does answer your question. )

The Christian God, of course.

I don't know. I believe.

[angellous_evangellous]

That's a severely incorrect usage of the word "too."

He should have used "does so" because "does to" is also incorrect.

 

[Wotan]

The Christian God, of course.

I don't know. I believe.

Now there's an honest answer.

And as long as you keep that belief to yourself - have no desire to force ME to act like I believed it also - we GOOD!:yes:

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

The Christian God, of course.

There's only one?

I don't know. I believe.

But the question wasn't "do you believe God exists", it was "does God exist".
