how so?
I saw Common tonight in concert and he was talkin on some real shit right before his encore. He was talkin' about how everyone has the little piece of God within them and that what we as a people gotta do is let that light shine. I was really feelin what he was talking about because on one level he was talkin in the same way a 5%'er might, about the self-determination and self-confidence to go out and do what you got to do but at the same time he held that respect for the Grand Creator. It's inspirational to see someone so talented and successful who's views aline so closely with my own.
i don't know about y'all but i do believe in a god and sorry if somebody has allready said this but to me god isn't a physical being god is more like an extremely positive feeling. a feeling of invincibility all of us have experienced at least one time or another. example, like when you're in a zone playing basket ball or when you're free style battlin' and you can do or say nothing wrong and every word comes out perfect or when you make love to your girl for a couple hours nonstop or when your painting a mural and using that positive spirit within you to make every piece of the puzzle come together perfectly to equal something beautiful to inspire anyone who sees it. that to me is god.:yes:
i Can Tell U The Truth I Am A Witness To Gods Existence As I Am The Devils God’s Voice Is That Of A Water Fall Or Something Like It The Devils Is That Of Something Of What A Dragon Would Sound Like They Both Talked In A Tongue I Did Not Know Or Have Never Heard Again Freaked Me Out
I believe 'God' is shown through the goodness in us all, the devil the evil, but then there is so much suffering in the world that it is difficult to believe in a benevolent, kind God. Perhaps God is as torn between good and evil as we are, perhaps 'God' and 'devil' are two different forms of the said God? Thus the nature of the creator, his different states, is reflected in us all. But what is 'good'? Where do we get concepts of 'good' and 'evil'? Perhaps 'good' just means 'socially approved', and 'God' and 'devil' are creations onto which we project our moral concepts...
If God is a creator figure then I don't believe he/she/it would be represented by monotheistic Western religion at all - said religion celebrates 'faith', aka believing without evidence, or, to put it bluntly, ignorance - why would a God afford us a creative mind then order us to bypass and disregard it?
In any case, the only philosophically defensible position in my view is agnosticism, we cannot prove the existence of God and thus it is naive to live out our lives revolved around such a belief, but we cannot attack the possibility of a God figure...
and there is the irrational cop outQuote:

listen, if you wanna be that stupid aight i don't mind but not on my debit.
look, first of all you weren't created by some imaginary 3 eyed goblin, were you? but if that's why you think this way then i suppose i understand.
God is there because we are here. i mean this is one of the signs of his existence.
Nothing can work by its own. not simple things even silly things then how can a whole universe?! little toys can't work with no battery.
if you ever saw a car driving itself, house building itself up, and maybe every object you can think of working by itself then maybe maybe umm uhh no wait even then this can't be.
it just doesn't make sense for a universe that great and beautiful not to have a creator.

I totally believe that God exists. I mean so many things happen also in peoples lives. Things have happened to people in my family, which is like wow, how else would something like that happen? I totally believe that he created all things and controls all things.
you again! aight, i'm only guessing cuz i only guess that the one who created me and this beautiful universe can't be ugly. once again i just guess.Quote:

u are inherently biased because u are looking at things from a subjective close minded humanoid point of view
similarly how can u call the universe beautiful? what is ur comparison?
.. the alleged complexity (perceived complexity) of the universe does not offer an alleged proof for your god..
(as an aside, i want it to be known and understood that the true hallmark of design by a creator is not complexity...it is simplicity).. (more about that later...)
u cant base ur argument on a lack of evidence..
