Maximilian:
Do you believe in God?

Why, or why not?


I've never been able to believe there isn't some sort of God, since I was a small child. To me the idea of Atheism doesn't make any sense, I believe we are surrounded by evidence that the Universe exists for a reason. I don't think it's possible to comprehend what God really is, or the reasons or explanations why things the way they are, I think these are our own human interpretations of the Universe, and I think our viewpoint is somewhat limited to come to a conclusion on what we are currently experiencing while alive. I believe there is much more to the world than we know or see. When I get in trouble I ask God for help and forgiveness when necessary, I believe in the power of prayer. Various religions have formed their own interpretations of what they believe God is, and how we must obey God. In the long history of human beings, spirituality has played an important role, and all civilizations have some sort of God or Gods that they worship. I believe in a single, all powerful, and united God force, my best way of describing how I feel is that God is everything, and anything that ever will be. I have read several books on near death experiences, after one of my parents explained their own near death experience and decided to share this information with me. Their sincerity in the experience, and learning about all the people who have similar experiences is what I view as solid proof that there is life after death, and that we are in fact immortal souls.

Definitely not in a traditional, biblical sense. But the world is a magical, awe inspiring, pattern driven place. And fucked up, too.

Still, there is no way I can believe there is an omnipotent, all loving God up there on a perch. Definitely not an interventionist one. I'm kind of with Bill Maher on that one. Or George Carlin.

I am comfortable with uncertainty and don't believe in Jesus as a "get out of jail for free card."

Yes,
What I don't believe is humans can explain why, conclusively.
