Many people believe in God, even the demons from Hell do. So I have to ask who is your God? Is it Jesus Christ or someone else? Just an honest question! That's all! Not trying to be confrontational here, just would like to know............cause I am also nosy! Thanks!

I do not believe in a God I believe in a "Creator" and the "Creator" is the UNIVERSE.

Then who created the universe?
NovaScotian;
No one created the Universe it has always existed and is continually evolving. It is the Alpha and Omega.

The universe had to have been created. Since it's constantly being created. I had a Science techer years ago in University who I asked this question to and he refused to answer it . So What happened in the beginning? How was the universe created? It had to have had a beginning.

Not really. If the universe is infinite in all directions, it is just as likely to have ALWAYS been in existence!

We can see the Universe. Or only a very small fraction of it. It moves. New planets and stars and whole galaxeeds are always being created and destroyed. The thought here is it just is and always and always will be? I find that very hard to believe that the Universe was not created. It had to come into exsistance some how.

There is a theory that our Universe is a part of a greater Universe just like the cells in our body constantly changing and renewing. Almost like a coral reef growing in the Ocean. This makes a lot more sense to me than having a God wave his hand with the pronunciation "Let there be."

Well I'm sure you can see that your not going to convince me no matter what because I can go further and say what is the what that causes it all to work? What is the source? What makes it all happen and another big question is why? People have tried to convince me there is no God but so far it hasn't worked.

When my son was at the age where evry word out of his mouth was "WHY?"(grrrrr), I came up with the ultimate answer......"Ask your mother."

I for one am not trying to convince you that there is no God. If you take comfort and solice in the belief of a Supreme Being then that is your right and I commend you for it. I have never nor will I ever ridicule or berate an person for there beliefs I just require that I be given the same courtesy.

Camac I agree. I'll never hate you or anyone for what you believe.
Virtually all of our knowledge is based on something that was accepted purely on faith in the beginning. For that reason, I believe there is a God that I can't see and accept his existence purely on faith.
The Black Death, Malleville, Antioch, Jerusalem, Drogheda & Wexford, the Black '47, Sharpsburg, the Somme, the influenza epidemic of 1918, Nanking, Auschwitz & Bergen-Belsen, Babba Yar, Rwanda, Bosnia, Fallujah, Gaza, et alia ad nauseum.; in times of humanity's greatest need, God has been most conspicuous by His absence.
I strongly suspect that God is merely an imaginary friend for grownups.
