In your personal view, does God exist

Does God exist? God IS Existence. To ask if God exists is the same as asking if existence exists.

Do you exist? If you do exist then God exists. There is no alternative.

when I see the hate that avowed satan worshippers have toward christians (and basically all caucasians as they are all bundled together in this ideology), I don't worry about those who believe in God. I worry about those who believe in the other side. That is the main threat at the moment. They are the ones currently running the show.

The greater question is whether Santa exists then... An important question to many innocent souls and almost always lied about... Really! WTF is it with that?

Agnostic is the way for me!

1. Can you tell me of anything in existence that wasn't created by something else?

Created is a term with many definitions. Yes I believe things are created... but not by a magic invisible being.

The point is, everything created has a "creator". What the creator is, is another matter we don't have to agree on.
To answer my own question about 'anything that wasn't created'. The answer is 'Energy'. Energy can neither be created, or destroyed.
It is that same energy that is our spark of life and that of God. Maybe we are all part of God?



2. Have you ever seen a miracle, or had a brush with death?

No miracles... nothing like walking on water or water to wine type of things. I dont call people surviving an acciedent a miracle!... Brush with death... Yes many... So what? Prove that a god had anything to do with them.

Do you not view the gift of life, a women giving birth, a miracle?

I think at the time life starts and when near death, many people can feel this life force energy around us.
Maybe you never have?




Religious teachings can be extreme, but are they reality?
Q. Why do you think you are 'required' to worship God?
Q. Can you think of anyone that should be punished for eternity?

A. Because it is written that if you do not follow gods laws you will suffer eternal suffering and torment. By following gods laws you are tantamount worshiping his being.Praying on your knees is a sign of bowing down to their authority.

This is where myself and many will disagree. I believe the bible has been subverted by the Jews.
I do not think Jesus was a Jew, but isn't it convenient to have written in the bible one must worship a Jew?

A. No not really.... you are asking a very vague question. I believe if we are to put people in jail for a crime. they should not be mistreated... and the punishment should be for a stated time... not eternity! Even when prisoners are given a life sentence... death ends that at some point!

Does the evil of truely evil people die with them?


There again, religious teachings can be extreme.
Q. Do you believe anything is/can be infinate, eternal?

A. Dont know and dont really care. Probably not. Why cannot god be finite too?

This is the ultimate question no one can answer. If God is finite, what is on the other side of God?
If the universe is finite, what is on the other side of it?



Yes, you will return to the elements that you are made of...one little detail though, where does the energy/life-force go?



I think you have this part somewhat figured out. Religion is a construct by man. Religion is used, belief is not.

I only believe in things I can taste, touch, see, hear or smell! Faith is a very misguided concept. Why would anyone risk their core beliefs to people that they have never known or under what circumstances they wrote what they did. God nor any supernatural being has ever shown themselves to me in any manner! Even though I was at one time on a quest for such knowledge. Until that day I choose the path of rationality and not speculative imaginations about a deity.

I highlighted the part of your statement I totally agree with!

Sorry you are not able to see what God has shown to you. That is your ability to think, to love and witness the miracle of life.

My experience from many years ago showed me once that all everything without exception is one energy from one source which is infinite and eternal and sounds a bit like the roar you get with a sea shell put to your ear.

To try and pin this down with words , ideas , even religion is some what a futile task but hey, good luck.

Neither male nor female but one complete energy.

It has NO name.

All things are a part of this without exception .

So if a person gains this understanding then all things become a reflection of this creating (as opposed to the word creator,which is the past tense) including them selves , and so in this way everything could be realized or seen as being from one source.


We can create separation with our minds and create an ego we can call ourselves made up of mind fragments and view the outside world as suspicious if we want to , but this is on the level of the mind.

By seeing from the level of the spirit or soul things appear differently then seeing from the level of the mind , which basically uses ideas ,memories , comparisons , concepts ect.

Seeing from the level of the spirit or soul requires little if any thought/emotion as we have gone one step further and you basically end up living in freedom...........................

This freedom is ................freedom from our own MINDS and EMOTIONS , FREEDOM FROM OURSELVES..................

If a person can /does/becomes truly conscious do you think they will be having self doubts from an over active paranoid mind.......... not likely..........because they will be awake and conscious in the present moment which is all that exists, all that will ever exist and is termed eternity. The eternal now.

Eternity isnt a concept or an idea in our heads , its real and is with us always.


Peace and love brothers and sisters.................

I am content to live my life... die and return to the elements

Are you thinking this 'I'* part of you will DIE??

He exists for sure. I think more in a Jesus just left Chicago style though.

Still has all the omnipotent power, just isn't hung up on it like people make Him out to be.
