Eric Liddell refused to run on a Sunday.It was the Sabbath,God's Day.He was made out to be a 'traitor' to his country,because he refused to do what his country wanted him to do.An American handed him a note before he won the 400m gold medal.A quote from Samuel,"If you honour me,I will honour you."

Once the original Grumpy Owld Man but alas no more
My Lord turned the water into wine. So the crowd went along with what my lord doth said.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
I dont disagree in the slightest.
But your rummaging deep in human issues, what was asked was "Do you believe in God?" Not do you believe in the Jewish God, or do you believe in Buddah.
You would be quite right if the question was do you believe in the God of the Jews, but the word God means many different things to many different people. It is something that trancends mere earth based religion.
Yeah, I can hear exactly where you're coming from here Flashman.
I believe God to be the Universe, therefore we're all Gods, therefore our actions will reflect Gods plan. We should be working as a team, rather than individuals in order to get higher & to understand what's really out there, where we're going & how we're going to get there.
As to where we came from & whether there's a God or not, I'm stopping myself from thinking about it, because it's impossible to answer these questions. It's all speculation & theories, & to get lost in this way of thinking WILL drive an individual to insanity.
Greed & Competition aren't the result of immutable human temperament, greed & fear of scarcity have being created & amplified. Consequently, we've got to fight with each other in order to survive!
A human wants answers.Is there a God?Will I wake up tomorrow?What is the meaning of life?
Three questions.
My answers
Is there a God?.No,its a planet.
Will I wake up tomorrow?.Yes I have to work
What is the meaning of life?.To enjoy

Thank God I'm an Atheist.
