| I've read alot of interesting posts on different biblical/non-biblical beliefs. I am interested to hear more. I would like to hear from people regarding their belief/non-belief in God. To be fair, I will state that I do believe in God, and that I believe Him to be 3 distinct persons (God, Son, and Holy Spirit). Tell me what you believe.

| I do not believe in God but I hold no grudge against those who do. For some the idea becomes a source of strength... for others a guise to bring hardship to others. For this reason there is no reason for me to be against the beliefs of others but merely how some people choose to use them.
Too bad that there are some out there who would consider someone like me to be immoral and such just based on the idea that I do not believe in God haha. Ah well

I am a firm believer in the Eternal Creator of all that Is and Is not evident to the naked eye. I do believe in the Son-ship and Daughter-ship of God. I do believe that the Holy Spirit is indwelt within each human being; not that each human being allows the Spirit to guide them however.
Losai; Your position of your belief is respected by me. Just because you maintain your standpoint does not mean that you are not a good person. It does not mean that the Holy Spirit does not guide your step either.
 Many will not agree with me and I am preparing for a stoning
Brother Skunk, Man the Shields
As for bringing hardships to others, that is a three-way street
I do not judge you as immoral either. Your path in life is still used for the betterment of all mankind and the Eternal Creator. Just be the best you that you can be
In the Peace and Love of the Eternal Creator

| I believe that god is not in the church, not in any bible. the church has twisted god and what he stands for to benifit the church. The air you breath, the trees you see, thats god. Nature is god, not a million dollar church. Nature is the creator, the destroyer. A woman giving birth is god, a hurricane destroying a whole city for no reason is god. The good, the bad and the ugly. Nature does not look at each of us and decide what to do with us. What happens happens. When we die, we go to another place, different universe mabie, i dont know, nobody does. Adolf Hitler killed 6 million Jews, im sure when he died their were 6 million pissed off Jews waiting for him, that was his hell. we all go to the same place. i like things some people think are really evil. What is bad to one person is good to another. you cant have good without bad. You cant have heaven and hell. Nature is god, not what the churches of the world has twisted it into. I love God. I dont litter....EVER. I try to treat this world and nature with as much respect as i can. Somtimes i look up at the night sky and thank god. Nature is god.
The Good The Bad & The Ugly

| Yes...but I call him The Creator...The Mastermind...The Genius Of ALL.
I do Question our Importance...or the Order of Importance to this Creator.
The earth and it's renewal seem to have the top importance...That logic
helps me to acccept the Natural disasters that sometimes destroys human
life.
I think that we as humans assume that we are the most important in the scheme
of life...This is something that I struggle with.
I am hopeing that Death is like awakening from a Dream...You know how you
have a dream and the moment you wake up you can't remember what that Dream
was about? Or the feeling that You get when You go on vacation...The farther away you
get from home the freer you feel...Your problems seem to disappear.
Sometimes I hesitate to post here in the Religious forums because I am not as
informed or have the knowledge about the Bible as others...If I can't get
a clear understanding about what I am reading...Than my interpetations about
what I am reading will not be accurate...
Yes, I do believe in God...I just can't grasp the magnitude of Our Creator.

| Hello Maxlite, your post make more sense than all the others I have read supporting and babbling on about god. If there is consciousness after physical death, then it would be like waking up from a dream. What you post reminds me of how I thought many years ago, when I awoke from a dream at a critical time of my life and saw the reality of the world and the illusions that we lived within. They call them near death experiences, but everyone I know that's had one has the same feeling, I'm suddenly awake for the first time. It can be frightening to begin with, but if you're prepared to open your eyes further and not close them, so you return to the dream world of god, you will find an individual peace which needs no god.
You are so right, if there was a god, then by the results we see, the human race is very low on it's scale of priorities. It's clear god is not interested enough to intervene in the debauched practices of those that covet it (god).
So it's logical and rational to assume there is no god for the human race and until such time as a god which relates to the enormity of the universe shows it's self by an act of compassion, then there is no god. But there are energies and dimensions which permeate this 3 dimensional universe we inhabit, which can be helpful for our dimensional evolution.

| Wow, I have stayed away from religion and politics until recently. However, this Jewish princess, with a Bahai mom, children who are happily married to Presbyterians and who now attends a Lutheran Mission Church, and is eagerly attending Bible Study classes, has found that she has a new quest for knowledge and understanding of what it's all about.
I may never learn the whole truth, but I'm well on the way to understanding, after reading the posts before mine.
I'm sure I will return to read more.
Sincerely,
KnittinKitten

| I believe in God as a mysterious universal force of love we cannot begin to comprehend with our tiny human brains. I believe there are many lesser energies of this force that are here to assist us if we want guidance. I believe each of us are stars, energies, and all are connected to each other.

| storm-,"But there are energies and dimensions which permeate this 3 dimensional universe we inhabit, which can be helpful for our dimensional evolution. "
So, these "energies and dimensions" are what seem to be from and are called god?
could it be inferred that there is an underlaying matrix that orders everything on/within it?.
btw, don't we live in 4 d's?.....but, from my 2 d existence, 3d is awesome!

| Has anyone ever listened to the songs of our planet or other ones that are recorded? To me, it does show indeed, our planet is unique among the other planets of our solar system. It is teeming with sounds, rhythms of life. Check out this site if you want to hear some of the sounds. www.neuroacoustic.com Sorry, not good at the computer, or I would post an easier way to show this. This site is called, The Center for Neuroacoustic Research. You can listen to these sounds by clicking on the Sound Store label there and then going to Compact Discs. From there go to NASA space sounds series. You will be able to hear samples of the planets sounds.

| I agree with Kelly and Maxlite. Not trying to claim that I know anything about the Creator.
Maxlite, I have thought of dying to be like being put to sleep for surgery. When you wake it seems like like you just went to sleep and have no awareness of time passing like you do in regular sleep.
