I'll bump the thread with my own beliefs until more people join in

I think the best place to start is with the age old question: Do you believe in god? My answer is no. But at the same time, yes....Allow me to explain

I believe that the earth, or any other hypothitical planet with living organisms, is a form of life. That the entire biosphere is but an extremely complex organism. I also believe that galaxies, and even the universe are alive. The big bang was but the birth of the universal organism.

So in a way, the universe is god. It doesnt fit the traditional description of a god, as chances are, it doesnt even know of our existance, and has no direct control over our lives, but in a way, it created us. For if the universe was never born, we wouldnt be either.

So, humans, and all life on earth. would sorta be to earth what cells are to us. Now I realize that this isn't a perfect analogue, but it is quite similar. A bit how an atom looks like a solar system.

Cells try to maintain homeostasis, a bit how plants and animals keep CO2 and O2 levels in check. And just like cells, Multicellular organisms can develop into cancer.

Humanity, as it stands today, is Cancer. Our growing cities and roads are the earth's tumors. And just like the disease, we are reproducing and spreading at an exceptional rate.

Our government, is to us what DNA/Genetic code is to the cell. It is what controls us, what decides how we should act. And just like cancer, our DNA is corrupted.

The difference though between us and cells, is our sapience. It means that we can act dependant from the our Genetic Code(Governments), or even outright rewrite it. I believe that we have the potential to be something more, to be something better.

I believe in the Kingdom of God, the validity of Jesus's teachings and moral philosophy, and the writings of contemplatives and theologians like Meister Eckhart, St. John of the Cross, Thomas Merton, and others.

I've also had this thought: What if all forms of energy was alive? I mean, our brains are just a bunch of chemical reactions. What if fire and electricity was essentially alive?
Now I'm saying alive, but not sentient. They lack the complex brain structure (or any structure for that matter) to process thoughts, and emotions.

Do I believe this? Meh, it's just wishful thinking at best. I think it'd be neat if it were true though

>God will save everyone, even Faggot OP?
Yeah.

A lot of people think you have to repent b4 you die, but I can't find anything like that in the bible.

And now for my reasoning.

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
>not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
God is not willing that any should perish.
We are here. Therefore none will perish.
If God made us knowing full well that some would perish, then He is willing that they perish.

God wants to save everyone. 1 Timothy 2:4
God can save everyone. 1 John 2:2, 1 John 4:14, Matthew 19:26
Therefore God will save everyone. (logically follows)

You can't be something you're not.
1 Timothy 4:10
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
>because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men
>Saviour of all men

If God does not save all men, then He is not the Saviour of all men.

I believe that there must be a God, some form of divine creating force thats responsible for the existence of reality.

I do not know if he still exists. I do not know if he knows of our existence.

I accept that fact that this being is beyond my comprehension. Beyond physics, logic, and time. Completely outside of our realm of understanding.

Any questions? I can elaborate on my beliefs but it's hard to fit it's entirety into one post.

I like to imagine that somewhere in the unfathomable reaches of the universe there exists a giant planet-eating, omni-potent space wolf called 'Steve'. And that every couple thousand years or so he descends into a planets atmosphere and confronts whatever life-forms inhabit it just to impart some meaningless, banal and bullshit advice. Like 'Don't buy that new U2 album, I heard it's pretty much just like their old stuff but with more french horn.' Then he would ascend back into the heavens to carry on his noble if not futile existence. Fly on Steve.... Fly on.

>>
>>590978834
I've done a lot of acid as well, and my belief is that "God" is something inside of us, as well as in all created things. He is the creator in the sense that he is the undifferentiated substrate of reality at the root of all created things. But I don't think he is a sentient, calculating force, just the pure Being that precedes thought or action.

I believe that at some stage of evolution, life can sustain itself without physical form. I believe that this might be what god is, simply an organism that has evolved to a point where its thoughts, and itself are essentially one thing.

Islam is the only true religion, you people are arrogant to accept its truthfulness, and no IS doesn't represent Islam,
if god exists then god wouldn't have created us for nothing, without guidelines,and that's where the Quran comes in place
>>
Jesus was right. Buddha was right. the Kingdom of God and Nirvana are similar, valid concepts. The Tao Te Ching expresses the same message that Jesus taught. These teachers just addressed different audiences, with different religious traditions, but they taught the same eternal truth.
>>
The point of human existence is for God to observe his own work through our eyes. I believe that God, if omnipresent and omniscient, must be incapable of emotion, judgement, or thought because just what does one think of if they know literally everything? I also believe it isn't God's job to make everything perfect like some sort of paradise, for that we could just be in heaven instead of Earth. The Garden of Eden was a taste of paradise because without it there would be no reference point to know that the world is harsh. All qualities are only relative, thus, for God to even begin to be definable he must create a thing to be compared against.

I don't believe that God is or ever was an organism, I think he is the most basic state of reality, preceding any organism. Basically a singularity, in an existential sense. Sentience is a magical thing in that it allows organisms to realize this natural, basic state, free from the lens of identity, individuality, and self.

Yes it is broad, because getting lost in all of the details is exactly what it was intended for. To demonstrate all sorts of moral lessons that provide an external unattainable omni powerful entity being to reach for.

>>
>>590981806

met him kinda? i feel that i can say without a doubt i have. Which dosent matter here because theres no proof, except how i feel and what i saw, id like to think he pays attention to me a lot and is wherever i Go paying attention but its a huge universe we don't know the end too, and if like you said if he's not sentient, were a mistake, a rough draft of what he could create with his power, i believe that humans were once genuinely the perfect creation. 0. the ability to communicate with god like how me and you are talking, but over time we've lost our way. I think science is a way to get to that singularity in space and time to where we can start to take the next step in learning about other demensions and thinks like anti matter and negative energy which we know there is a force involved but unable to find or grasp the concept

>>590981452
Actually I'm agnostic. I believe there might be a god, but realize there might not be one either. When I was younger, I was a strict atheist, but as I grew older though, I realized that the odds of god existing, or at least something resembling a god are probably higher than what most atheists realize.

>we're created only to worship the creator

Oh man, I love this. Honestly probably the most realistic theory for a god I've heard. I mean, if you were god, why wouldnt you want people to praise you all the time!

Different anon but what would be the point of creating a race of people just to praise you? What would praise do for a god? If he requires praise then that would mean God has self-esteem issues.

Well you're right 2015, my bad, but since you're agnostic you're probably more open minded about religion, and god doesn't need us nor he wants our praising, it's has more to do with our own spirituality and to remind us to be thankful to god for everything, Islam basically gives you god's rules if you follow them you'll go to heaven and if you don't you burn in hell, unlike Jews and Christians who bend the rules to adjust to the world, we follow god's word

You were coerced into enjoying it. I was in a Catholic Private school for 12 fucking years. I used to believe in God, I uses to pray to him every night. Anytime I thought of grave images I'd fucking hit myself and say " God is watching me, he knows I'm a sinner." Crying myself to sleep at n8ght because I was so scared of God's vengeance and what would happen if I slip up. I used to repeat prayers for hours on end to him, in hopes he would talk back to me.... to tell me I don't have to be scares and that he loves me. But it didn't happen. My prayers were never answered, he didn't protect me from the merciless bullies at that school. He didn't even give me the happines and exempt ancestors I craved. I began to push away the idea. At first terrified of what was to come. But soon realized I wasn't smite down. I had turned my back to the one I thought most powerful, but I was okay. So I screamed to the heavens "I don't need you, you fucking joke!".... nothing. It was at that time I had pierced to veil of lies that had been draped upon me by the zombies. That is why I don't believe.

Yes, broadly extrapolating large amounts of information on religion's basis can be dissected as flaws if you choose to take religion on it's merit to be the trust source. It still believe there were accurate points made that made sense, and many still worthy. I do not choose to not accept all because of certain parts I don't like.

The bible isn't one book, it would be foolish to dismiss it all by clumping it all together. There are lots of old myths, some pseudo-history, and made up miracles. There are also lots of wise teachings, beautiful poetry, and reasonable theology and moral philosophy. You can't throw out the Gospels because you don't like Leviticus, or dismiss Ecclesiastes for the same reason you dismiss the gospels.

I see, so essentially you show god Eternal gratitude. That's actually a very nice concept, I never viewed Islamism in that light. Very interesting to say the least.

I'm OP btw, so if you want to know what my beliefs are, read the first posts. I think that the earth deserves as much praise and gratitude as your god does.

If you believe that god created everything, the idea of praising something he made, instead of god himself sounds a little silly, I'll admit. But if you believe that everything was created by chance, and that god simply set the ball rolling for everything to be created, well then we really should be thankful. Because it'd because of sheer luck that the earth would have been created in the first place. If thats not a reason to be thankful idk what is.

You can call my stupid, I don't mind. But there is no evidence for Jesus being a solar deity, That's just a fact, sorry if it upsets you.

I see everything as a wavelength and you can vibe with someone or something when you match wavelengths. Everything is a part of a greater whole called the Flow. We come out of the Flow to learn about it so that when we die as to re-enter the Flow, we have a greater knowledge of it.
