What makes you think ?

That there is God ?

 

[Springsteen]

I watched the season six finale of Supernatural. Castiel is now God. That's good enough for me.

You realise there's no such thing as a satisfying answer to this question.

 

[Abcinthia]

I don't.

Until I get undenial proof otherwise.

*waits for someone to use the old tried and failed method of "you can't prove there isn't a god" *

I'd believe in God if it would properly introduce itself to me.

Nothing yet! Keeping a sense or two out just in case something turns up one day that hasn't in thousands of years

Had to laugh at that...

For me, its where the heck did we come from if God doesn't exists. People can argue that we formed out of clumps of bacteria, but where did everything ever come from? The Big Bang Theory, though a good TV sitcom, doesn't always complete the answer

That there is God ?

If you allow me to redefine the word God just a bit, I would like to be the devils advocate here.
God is usually defined as a miracle working creator of all things. Theists mostly believe that he can and does interfere with us. Miracles abound in their theology.
They do not in mine. I am more of a Deist but not quite. I call myself a Gnostic Christian naturalist, for want of a better label.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deist

The Godhead I know does interfere in the sense that if found, he will communicate with us. That is the extent of his powers, if you can call that a power. Although unseen and to us invisible, I consider it a part of nature somewhat like radio waves.
I do not and will not derail you’re your initial question on the traditional God that you asked without your permission.
Let me know and if you agree I will put something together that I think can make you think That I think is what posting is all about. I would not offer but It has been my experience that your type of question will not draw any theists because they know they are beat before the get go.
Just so that you are not making a blind decision let me give you a hint of where the discussion will go.

I will be basing any posts on my own apotheosis but know from the get go that this apotheosis cannot be proven and you will have to accept it as an anecdotal rendering only.

It's something you believe or don't.

For the last one, I would say "Thank you Jesus for the people in this world who want to help those starving people, rather than just let them die"

Thank god for Atheists?

john those images are scary man. they speak to this subject perfectly.

 

[doombug]

The existence of the universe, earth and mankind is proof enough for me to believe there is a god. I don't think everything exists by pure accident.

 

[Panacea]

Existent not by pure accident = god?
Get whiplash jumping to that conclusion?
