Why I believe God is good

[The Hammer]

Did you read the OP?

Yup. Sounds like a caricature.

What did you try before leaning on gods?

That's not really a simple question or answer.

 

[Starlight]

perennial philosophy......

Which god does that apply too?

I believe the perennial philosophy has a God/gods that is universal. God is beyond religion. God has no spesific religion.

I will continue to learn from your unique perspective.

So far, the comments resonate with me especially when you can clarify as eloquently as you do.

I do not know for certain that God is loving. I BELIEVE it

How could anyone know?

What do you mean?

 

[Trailblazer]

For whom?

For those who don't believe in God?

Life without God
1 It gives me hope, more humans strive to do good then not
2 It gives me strength, every challenge I overcome was accomplished by me, making a new friend, learning something new or by becoming stronger
3 It makes me feel more safe, my fellow humans for the most want me to succeed, help me to succeed, and proclaim my successes
4 I feel loved
5 Life has meaning that I can influence for myself and assist others when in need

Why can't we have all those things with God?

 

[Twilight Hue]

You don't actually know what anyone else needs in this regard.

True. Just that God isn't a prerequisite nor will ever be for the qualities mentioned.

I do not know

 

[Trailblazer]

For whoever feels like they are weak, hopeless and unloved without gods. It is a wake up call to say: the strength, the hope and the love you seek is within yourself.

Some believers claim that God is within ourselves although I don't believe that since I cannot make it work logically.

Who is "we?"

I do not know

Some people think they know that God is loving, but they can only believe that.

I believe God is everywhere. Because of this God is also within ourself. in our soul.

Yes thats true that some people say they know God is loving, but in reality they only believe yes

I don't think @bobhikes does. He used first person singular language in his post, so I still don't understand why you would use first person plural in the response. He was speaking for himself, not for you.

Mmm .. some people like to argue about G-d .. that He is 'here' and not 'there' etc.

I think that G-d knows best .. and believe many concepts in scripture are metaphorical.
Is G-d within me? I pray that G-d does not leave us .. that we remember Him always. Amen.

Then move it. Or set the site up better so people can more easily tell what category they are posting in. The way I use this site I never know what category I'm posting in. Nor do I care.

All it takes is a little reading and maybe a new pair of glasses for ye eyeballs.
