I respect that everyone has their own opinoin in this world but I just cant see how people can justify religion. None of you can tell me you're 100% sure of the exsistence of god unless you are unbelievably ignorant of science. I'm not saying religion is a bad thing although Sikhism just seems to lead to violent protest but I am saying this is all a bit far fetched and scientifically impossible. Are you looking for someone to awnser the questions that confuse you, a blueprint on which to base your life around, false hope, fear of thinking for yourself? What?

Hey, well acually being religous isnt it, being Christian is a Faith, and life-style. In fact science would just go more to prove the exsitance of God.

An absolute statement requires absolute truth...



If I say their is no gold in China, i would LITERALLY HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING about China, and go through everything and everyone. But if i see just one place with gold than it makes the statement true.......What im saying is if you say their is no God then your saying that you know every little things about this world. But to say their is God, all it takes is just looking in the mirror...

May God bless you!!!!

Here is the problem with your foundational premise:

Science is incapable of addressing the supernatural.

Therefore, any search for proof of the supernatural based on an inherently incapable means will leave you with a dead end and no answer or a conclusion based on the argument from ignorance.

If God didn't exist it wouldn't really bother me either. I'd know either way I had lived a good live, and stuck to morality, and at least I had believed in something.

Plus it's a fallacy to say he doesn't exist based on science - theres no evidence disproving him either.

Its like this do you believe in oxygen ;) . But god and jesus is real I can testimony to it. My mother was attacked years back and was assumed dead but the surgery they said could not do much about it. But that did not stop me to pray and ask my father in heaven to help me throught a hard time. And over nite it was as if she just healed and she was getting back to normal. God has blessed me and I can tell you he is real my brother.

And another thing people who call themselves christain and protest through hate or violence is jsut called hypacrits for jesus said love your enemy and your neighbor. Not love ur neighbor and hate ur enemy................. Its like this fair and balance lol.

God is eternal life and jesus is the way to god.

The knowledge of God is within every human being. Only God can put that knowledge within us. There is no other knowledge that can compare. Every human being in history has searched for the knowledge of God and many have rejected the Truth of God to adhere to a false teaching.

Because of this, I am 100% sure that there is a God.

As for my faith that Jesus is the Only Truth.

God implanted that faith in my as an infant in Baptism. As I grew up in a family that was apathetic to the faith, I craved and even stole bibles to find out who God was.

Science has nothing to say about God by definition.

Yes I'm sure, but because of personal experience and conviction, not empirical evidence that I can put in front of somebody else.

There is actually much that is good in Sikhism. Unfortunately it exists in a locality of strong inter-religious, inter-cultural and inter-ethinic rivalry of the worst sort.

but I am saying this is all a bit far fetched and scientifically impossible.
Science only deals with the natural.

"How you can be sure of God's existence" is rather easy...By your own existence. Random chance never produced anything of profound design, therefore you could not have been the product of coincidence of nature or sheer random chance. The only other option I know of is intelligent design and this requires a Being of immense proportions.

Are you looking for someone to awnser the questions that confuse you, a blueprint on which to base your life around, false hope, fear of thinking for yourself? What?

First, Welcome to the Forums, I hope that you enjoy your time here, and this is a very nice first post, you might want to provide an introduction of some sort, so we can get to know the person that we are talking to. Please take the time to look around the forums as you will see that there is a whole section open to everyone, to discuss anything from Airplanes to Zoology.

Now, Well, let me tell you why I believe in my God and his Greatness.

When I go to other forums, religious forums, like Islam, I am met as an Outsider, I am not given a warm welcome, unless you consider Lighting Torches to burn me, a warm welcome.

They open with the idea that they will not defend any accusation regarding their blessed leaders or prophets, and will only address the evils and faults in the Christian Bible, and how it is wrong.

So I walk away, because I am not welcome.

I go to an Atheist (and Non-Religious) forums and I am greeted with derogatory commentary and belittling statements regarding my intelligence and my religious beliefs.

I am then treated to a slew of vulgar comments about my religion, my beliefs, and every conceivable insult you could throw at a person, with the idea that no matter what I say, I am an evil Xian, who depends on "Sky Daddy".. (And that is the nice way they put it), and out to get them.

So I walk away, because I am not welcome.

Then I see an Atheist enter these forums, and we welcome them, with warm words and hope that they enjoy themselves.

I see an follower of Islam show up, and I see the same friendly welcome. Please come, join us, and talk and have fun.

We know why you have come, you come to debate, and tell us our religion is wrong, but still we welcome you, with civil words and an open heart and let you challenge our belief, and ask your questions (loaded and otherwise). We so welcome you, and entertain your desires to the point that we devoted a whole section of these forums just so that you could come here and debate us, and tell us how much you hate us and our religion. That is true acceptance. Some do stay, because they realize that such a home will not exist any place else, even if they never do believe as I believe, they can not deny the acceptance that exist here for them.

We open our doors to you, to a great many other areas, where we welcome you to have community with us, to talk of sports, and life and politics and cars. In short, we treat you as a human, as you should be treated in a civil manner, as we are not treated outside these forums.

Then we defend our Bible to you.

Then we defend our belief to you.

and we do so in as civil a manner as we can (We are human after all).

Say what you will, but by those acts alone.

I know I have the right and correct religion.

No where else have I see such an open door to others that do not believe as they believe, as the door to the Christian Faith and the places that it's followers gather, right here at CF.

I know I have found the right path, simply by the actions of the people that share this path with me.

Bless you all my Brothers and Sisters. For by us, maybe the World can See God, as I have see God.

I hope I have given you an answer to this Question.

God Bless

Key.

I can't say for certain that God exists, but I believe he exists: that is what separates faith from knowledge.

Science has never served to disprove the existence of God, although certain scientific discoveries have upset a few religious fundamentalists. Even if one can trace evolution back to the origin of the universe, nobody can account for what started the universe in the first place.

Religion is, in a sense, a "blueprint on which to base your life around", but is more of a guide to life. We still have the free will to follow it or not. We also choose to interpret the blue print in different ways, which accounts for the denominational character of most religions. So religion does not preclude thinking for oneself.

How can I be sure of God's existence?

This world is far too complex, let alone the whole universe. My life has completely changed since I have started following Him and worshipping Him. He is real, and he answered my prayers, delivering me a safe, happy daughter with my fiancée. I've felt His prescence around me, and many things, the kind of things people overlook, happen all the time when I doubt, to remind me of His existence and love for me. Just yesterday, a small, glass angel that I have had for a while but haven't seen, was suddenly in my bed, poking me in the back. Also, even today, things have happened which remind me of His existence. If you don't look to find, you won't see. :)

But shouldn't you judge based on the religious books and principles themselves? The people you discussed are only human. Many people dont believe in christianity because of children who are molested by priests.

Humans make mistakes.

that is a shame the molesters pretend to be christian. Jesus warns in the New Testament we must watch out for church leaders, let us remember christianity is about Christ, not men. remember Jesus' church leaders also led him to be crucified.
