No, it's an utterly ridiculous concept
Yes
No
Don't believe in god. i went to sunday school and know the christain stories but i choose not to believe in it and take it as gospel.
Too much of life is to chance and opportiunitys. The biggest factor of being a non-believer is that how would a god let someone suffer the way my dad did.
I had a interesting discussion with a friend that believes that we are the way we are through genes. i think we are the way we are through genes, the environment we grow up in and life experiences. i've had a few expereinces that have changed me.
I don't think god and religion have much place in how we live our lives now. It's how we live our life that counts not what religion we follow.
But then again thats not what you were asking!

I believe God is the Sun. With it's energy, we are who we are today. Without it's energy, we're nothing...
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!
Have to agree. Like many here I'm not a believer myself but have no problem with others if they choose to believe, so long as they don't try and preach their beliefs to me.
I'm also against religion being 'forced' upon todays youngsters - school services (no real choice but to attend), Cub Scouts (part & parcel if they want to enjoy the rest on offer) etc. IMO most are too young to understand what religion is about. My two have questioned why I don't believe, yet when I ask them if they do they are undecided. It's a similar situation to Santa and the Tooth Fairy - they choose to believe because otherwise they may lose out on extra Christmas presents and tooth money!
Yes I am a believer, but have had problems with family members who are christians of the born again type and feel the need to thrust their beliefs down everyones throats, like it or lump it. I tell them in order to be born again one must have lost their faith, and I never have, although it has been tried to distraction many times in my life.
"attending church doesn`t make one a Christian, any more than standing in a garage would make one a car".
Making tomorrow`s memories today
i love your post poppet! going to church does not make you a Christian..in fact some of the most unchristian people i have ever met were the most upstanding of church goers! *G*
faith is simply that.. faith.
although, i have been baptised and saved, ive never lost my faith either.
however, i am raising my children to believe in God, and as they grow older if they decided dif. while i will be upset, what can you do?
anyway, getting off subject... personally, ive stood in many garages.. even slept in one once in my youth.. but nope never turned into a car!

I do not believe in a god. Such a belief is completely illogical.

Religion. Giving people hope in a world torn apart by religion.

Great posts brandy,just a straight forward yes for me though.
i dont believe although i would really like to think there is something more i certainly dont believe in the christian view of God. I dont mind if people are religious or not but what really gets on my nerves is religious people who gurn because people have a go at them for believing in God and then turn round and have a go at me because i dont believe i mean hypocryts or what.
horses are more than just a hobby they're a way of life!
I believe in Nature.
You've offered an interesting definition of God. Following what you have said I have to vote 'no', I don't believe in that kind of god. As a Christian for me God in not a punisher or rewarder of adherence to a moral code.
I think that you must have mis-understood something. Evolution is just that: 'chance' and 'accident'. It is by chance or by accident that genes don't replicate properly and end up producing a new form of organizism in the offspring. If this subsequent generation survives better than the parent then the species keeps going.

The question was weighted, but I think that you should have voted yes all the same.
