Just out of curiosity what are everyones thoughts on God and a higher power here.

I simply have faith that there is SOMETHING, but man's concept of religion is the problem. All scripture is written by man. Many items in the bible are horrific in nature and in no way should represent being a moral person. I would mention other books but I might be targeted by people who blindly believe it.

Even with faith, I am frequently blinded by anxiety of death and the unknown. But that's the human condition. To not die.

It's an old country music lyric;

We're not punished for our sins,
we're punished by them...

The best I can do is speak from my heart and what it has felt over the years. Ill type as fast as I can and try not to think to much about it. I find that I over think things and my mind will get in the way of my heart. The more I learn, the better I think I have gotten, the more popular I get, the more money I make, the bigger my head gets. At the worst times of my life it has been when I stop letting my heart/soul lead my life, and stop listening to my god/higher power and what he would have me do. It is when I try to take credit/control for things and loss my humility in life that I fall.

If I had my way and I listen to my self/my mind and not my heart/higher power you people would all be screwed lmao. In my mind I am awesome, I'm great, I'm the boss, I am untouchable, I rule my life and everyone in it and you are all hear for my self gain and amusement. That is who I am without submitting to a will and plan that is not my own. As much as I hate admitting this I must and its true.

When I follow Gods plan for my life I see things differently and I see the true worth of another person regardless of any factors. I love people and love helping people in anyway I can. My mind is clear and I can see/learn anything. Am I weak because I haven't the will or strength to Take control of my life? Am I weak because I am at my best when I am submitting my self to another who I deem higher than I?

I look back and I see all the good things that have come from following my higher power and I think " how can anyone tell me there is something wrong with this?" . Any argument they would make would mean I would have to take credit for it all and I cant. So when you thank me for the help you can thank my god!!

Great idea for a discussion here bro!
Personally a firm believer in God, am presently at that point in life where I am struggling to work out exactly who I see as being God and how they interact with the universe. Definitely see a Christian God as being the most reasonable from my study thus far.

My two cents.

Agreed - and I'm Christian

The bible does not prove god exists not is it meant to. If our human knowledge and skills could prove or disprove God then he really wouldn't be God. The concepts of God and his ways are beyond our comprehension and understanding. If I believe in god, and I do, then I'm happy to know he's smarter than me / us.

Jesus on the other hand was a man walking on this earth. The bible (and other texts) is pretty clear on what he did and all the miracles which were not possible by a man.

I think if you believe in the christian god, you must believe in god because the bible says god is real. So if you use the bible to prove god, it's flawed imo.

Also, is there actually one piece of evidence that proves Jesus
walked the earth?

What I always wondered was -- why do people pray? It's like negotiating with the most supreme intelligence in the universe and expecting him to say "Yeah, I see your point, I think I'll change my mind." lol
