Nespin Fernagon A definite maybe. While a god might exist, I rather doubt that it's the sort of god that any particular religion imagined. This. Although personally I don't really believe a god exists.
The invisible tea kettle may exist too, but I doubt it's the sort of tea kettle I'm imagining. xd

I think he does, and when it comes to these things it's really only my opinion that matters.

yeh, if you're calling him the FSM...
but in all seriousness, I'm not sure. Maybe, maybe not. If so, definitely nothing really by the standards of any current religions

Gods like in the religions? No. An omnipotent being? Maybe. Voted therefor: No.
Found this quote (that I'd like to share with you guys) on one of my Gaian friend's profile few years ago:
God
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able, and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
- Epicurus.

In matters pertaining to proving the existence of a god, we must ask what the most likely explanation is: natural or supernatural? Supernatural explanations cannot be examined by science and cannot be falsified. If a natural explanation exists, it is much more likely than a supernatural one. That's why I favor evolution over creationism.
I've gotta say, I agree with Cleo on this one.

Hidden Arc Honestly, why fight over this stuff? :3 I don't think anyone in here is fighting about it, and this is the discussion forum.
Personally, I'm interested in what exactly it is that causes people to believe (or not); as it can't really be proved either way, I'd like to know what other factors influence people's faith, beyond the obvious factors like the beliefs of people they know, etc.

My personal reasoning? I don't believe in anything supernatural, and the way I see it, all spirituality is just a subcategory of supernaturalism.

So her chain of reasons that God isn't actually God is untrue. And it's not that he's malevolent either. He chooses to let us choose how to live our lives. Would you rather be a puppet with no choice?
