YES, believing in God does not make you a sucker at all. Your opinion that there is a god is just as valid as my opinion that there isn't one.

I also believe it to be just as true, in a way. By this i mean I don't believe that there is a man or woman sitting in heaven or wherever, who created the universe and is omnipotent and omniscient, and that is MY truth, but I do believe God exists in the mind of the people who believe in him, and that is YOUR truth. To you, there is a God. It's that simple. To me there isnt a God. It's that simple. I don't, and probably never will, know which one of us is right or wrong but I dont believe it matters. What matters is what us as individuals believe. God exists to you, and his presence may help you get along with your life. That's the important thing.

As far as an omnipotent, omniscient God who sits on his thrown in heaven and sends us to heaven or hell goes, I don't believe that. Simply because, in my opinion, it is just as believeable as saying Leprechauns or Unicorns or Big Foot exists. I haven't seen any proof, nobody has, therefore i do not believe it until i see some proof I dont, I CANT have faith in something that I believe someone else has created.

As for the point in our existance, I don't know what it is. I believe that we don't have a 'reason for being here', we just are. There is no almighty goal that we must struggle towards. We create our own goals on the way, and seek out our own personal fullfillment It is different for each of us, and that is why i say God exists in you but not in me. You may see your faith as your reason for being here. I do not have that faith, but it doesn't mean my existence is any less important as yours, just that we are looking for fullfillment in different places and in different ways
GHoSToKeR Reviewed by GHoSToKeR on . be tolerant in my eyes god doesnt exist. but, i totally understand and embrace other people who believe in god. everyone has their reasons for believin in a god or gods, and it helps them get along with their lives. the way i see it, god exists in the people who need him, but thats it. :) the lyrics to 'Jesus Walks' by Kanye West say it perfect...
