Your view on God?

Post Reply New Topic

I believe he is loving and merciful. I think that he made things to happen on their on, while most believers think he is constantly working.

And for any nonbelievers, let me ask this:
Even if it is all a bunch of hogwash, why is it so wrong or ignorant to believe? Who are we harming by believing in God. I'm so tired of people acting like it is so morally wrong to believe. It gives people hope and encourage that they would not have otherwise. No one has anything to lose in believing, I certainly don't. However, I don't care what anyone else believes and I'm certainly not going to go out of my way to change them. You can call me ignorant or brainwashed if you wish but know this, I would rather be brainwashed by something that offers hope than something that offers nothing at all.

Here's one last interesting thought. If we are wrong and there is no God, Heaven, or Hell and we just die and nothing happens, we win no matter what because we don't go to Hell.

Sorry if I kind of exploded there but I'm just tired of being attacked because I admit that I believe in God. I'm not a goody-two-shoes like people think I would be. If I didn't believe, I wouldn't do anything differently than I would now. I am who I am and I believe what I believe.

I'm starting to think God and the Devil are one, and not separate beings.

Whew, I was afraid someone may have been bitting my head off about my earlier post. I got to thinking that someone may have thought I was accusing someone on this forum of attacking me, which no one has. I was blowing off steam left over from a heated argument that I got in the middle of yesterday afternoon. I was at my brother's house yesterday and some of his friends came over. The existence of God came up and they started arguing to the point that it was about to get ugly. They asked for my opinion, and because I am not afraid to admit my beliefs, I said that I did believe in God. One of the woman got in my face and started calling me stupid, ret*d, and a few obscene words just because I believed. I was angered, not because she didn't believe in God, but because she was insulting me because of my beliefs. To keep from making things worse, I kept my anger and mouth shut and finally my brother and his girlfriend took up for me. It was just one of many times I've been attacked because of what I believe in.

No one is stupid because of their religious beliefs, but they don't have the right to judge someone else as stupid or ignorant just because they believe differently than they do. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.

May God bless you all, whether you believe in Him or not.

My belief in God is rooted in the Bible, don't really know what more to say. He's done so much for me, and for others around me. As for his existence, I'm fully convinced of it. Is He love? Yes, the most perfect.

Stargate and reality don't mix.

What is God? Who is God? Why is there a God? No one will ever know. He or she might be nothing more than some ancient guy’s hallucination but God might also be and alien from outer space. Since I work with Abductees and talk to them God is either the collective consciousness of all living beings therefore loving in nature or an alien from various planets seeking any variety of things depending on who you ask.
Personally the God in the Bible as I see him is he’s evil to the core and wants nothing but to enslave us never allowing his supposed children to ever grow up. Why would you want a shepherd to tell you what to do and think when you could be the wolf free and wild acting however you see fit. For me being the wolf fits my personality.
The Christian God creates a flock of sheeple who can sense evil better than their own God. That’s not a way to live since evil is in the eye of the beholder. Some believe Satan represents emotional, sexual and physical freedom while Christians demonize Satan as a dark force feeding into human desire which in a way is true. I don’t follow into religion as an invisible force but the hidden power of the mind. Hence my fraise “The mind is the source of Magic”. God might also be our own power that we credit to an entity that doesn’t exist through prayer.

o rly?

i guess thinking of an invisible "god" making everything is more along the lines of reality though

I come from a religious jewish family, so I know plenty about god (the jewish god, that is). So when I say I hate him, or the jewish peoples perception of him, I could not mean it more.

Seriously, the torah makes god sound so selfish. 'Give me sacrifices.' 'There is no other god than me.' 'You shall obey these 600+ rules.' Seriously, stfu. I don't want your stupid rules. If you honestly cared about us, then you wouldn't want us to waste our lives with your stupid wasteful rules.

Now, I don't actually believe in god. The torah, to me, is a book written by man, and no holier than any other book; might as well be Winnie the Poo or something. Yeah, God = Poo bear. *shrugs* 'Cept a bigger pain in the ass.
However, the fact that so many people believe that it's so holy is incredibly annoying and makes me think humanity is even more disgraceful and pitiful than I otherwise would. Seriously, if god wanted to talk to us, couldn't he think of some better way than a book? A book that can be burned or used to wipe your butt? Meh.

Sorry if I insulted anyone, this topic is really close to home since I still have to keep the stupid jewish religious rules. Blah.

wow, nice to see a jew hating god so much. thank you!

You're welcome; that costs $10.

I wouldnt say that. There are plenty of real life situations hidden all through out Stargate SG1 plots. But since we are on the topic of the righthandpath, Id say the Goa'uld (but mostly the Ori) are no different at all: All out evil, against humanity, human nature, and uses brainwashing techniques and fear to force people to worship them.

God's not any less visible than I am in a bodily sense. In Heaven God is not invisible. Multiple times He has appeared as a Theophany and in His Son. In the future Jesus will visibly be Monarch. Etc. Invisibility is only a normative characteristic of God, not a permanent one. Sure, I haven't had any visions or whatever, but so what? God doesn't have to perform tricks for me.



For the main topic, here are my Theological views:

Bible is the Word of God, Trinitarian, Calvinistic, Christ is Savior and Lord, the Church is composed of all true believers and not necessarily limited to one denomination and does not necessarily include anyone claiming to be Christian but only those who actually are His, I read Genesis in a straightforward manner and accept what it plainly says particularly in relation to chapters 1-11 but also the rest of Bible in the same way.

Right-hand-path???

.. You do know of what I speak yes?

Is it something on a later season of Stargate? I've only seen seasons 1 & 2, is there some extra weirdness I should be aware of so as not continuing to watch the show?
