Why do you believe in God?

[Moth]

There is literally zero scientific evidence to support the existence of a God so what makes you believe that God exists in spite this, do you believe there is legitimate evidence to support God's existence that the scientific consensus has wrongfully disregarded?

Religion exists as a way for the brain to cope with it's fear of death, lack of understanding about the world, and the apparent purposelessness of human existence which most humans struggle to reconcile with and consequently was the psychology as to why religion arose across all societies throughout the globe and throughout history.

And on the topic of that, with all of the world's innumerable (dead and living) religions, what evidence makes your religion the one true religion above all others according to you?

 

[Jimb0]

because they're sheep, also most fear the social repercussions coming from their family/friends (humans are pathetic and need a reason to stick together instead of being naturally caring and supportive of each other)

Blah Blah Blah i will always believe in God fuck you

We experience an ordered, intelligible world. We can understand and make sense of things. This order and intelligibility require a source, an ultimate foundation.
Atheism cannot provide a sufficient foundation for this order and intelligibility Therefore, God, as the source of order and intelligibility, must exist.

 

[samsara]

I don’t

 

[xort]

I don't. No fucking "GOD" would allow this type of shit to me. I deserve fucking respect!

Anyone who is a theist in 2025 is either extremely retarded or sheltered.

Word salad, I really must've struck a nerve. Is this really the best that the theists can come up with?

How specifically is the world 'ordered' or 'intelligible', humanity has barely scratched the surface of understanding the world and the laws of the universe are by no means easy to understand and still a great mystery, our knowledge of them is near non-existent in the grand scheme of things so I'd be very intrigued to know how you think that the world is in any way 'ordered' or 'intelligible' because it isn't and the misapprehension that you operate under that the world is either of those things is indicative of your poor scientific knowledge.

Was this supposed to be the teleological or fine-tuned argument for God? Because it vaguely sounds like it.

The teleological and fine-tuned argument can be easily disproven, in fact I don't even need to do it myself because countless others have done it before me so why should it waste my time?

[Homegrownman326]

Have you ever heard of the consciousness argument for God before? Consciousness is something immaterial that cannot be directly measured in it of itself. It's a product of matter, but consciousness itself isn't matter. This implies that immaterial things or immaterial things arising from matter can exist. But this is only half of it, and it's just BS that consciousness copers say. The question of why consciousness even exists is a valid one. Your knee-jerk reaction might be, "Well, isn't it obvious? To fulfill the needs of survival and reproduction. But can't everything under the sun function without conscious input? Sleepwalking is a real, documented phenomenon. Couldn't everything be done without consciousness? "Sleepwalking is a form of consciousness, just one that lacks memory or certain cognitive faculties". As someone who has experienced sleepwalking before, in a particularly violent incident, I can say with certainty that I wasn't conscious in any way, shape, or form remotely close to my default. Zero recollection, and I managed to almost beat someone to death, and I pretty seriously injured myself. This is just spitballing, and I'm still a staunch physicalist atheist, but it's a different stance on the consciousness argument.

I cannot defend my faith since I am neither a philosopher nor an apologist by any means. I believe in God because of my own personal experience, but I won't share it with you because it is none of your concern and saying "Fuck You" doesn't imply that you made me mad or whatever.

And even if I don't fully comprehend it, I do believe in transcendental arguments for God. I generally watch Jay Dyer, so if you truly care, you can "debunk" that.

However, as I stated before, I am not an apologist; rather, I am a regular Christian who studies the Bible, so what I said was not the transcendental argument for God; rather, it was just my understanding of the argument which is lacking.

Because this shit exists

 

[Sir Waco]

cuz god doesnt have to be inherently good

 

[The_word_made_flesh]

For starters evolution and science without God does not add up .
For instance science says in evolution theory that man made the transition from ape to human in east Central Africa or near the Rift valley or others say Uganda .Then why no evidence of civilization there and why no linguistic verbal roots from those languages found in other languages.

The oldest cities known to man go back to Iraq and the oldest known structures go back to Turkey not far from where Noah's ark landed .

Also the vast majority of the worlds languages also come from Mesopotamia or the central Asian steppe .


Another point to is that Steven Hawking himself even said that if the rate of expansion of matter after the big bang had been off by 1 in a quadrillion the big bang would have failed .

So there was a big bang without God then it took quadrillions or even quintillions of failed big bangs before one worked

Just ask these people why they believe this one particular god out of the thousands that exist and they have zero answers. To be truly religious, you have to be close minded and have zero doubt about anything.

 

[jartiyer1]

I don't think the universe could exist without a god. Someone must have done it.

 

[Cuckoja]

I dunno, few reasons. One, everything seems ordained, set up in motion. Second humans seem to be programmed to worship a higher being. Third, my personal experience.

[The Scarlet Prince]

There is no direct proof for God's existence, and anyone who tries to make one up is retarded. I never particularly argue for His existence, but instead, for the ideals that stem from the religion itself. I think the vast majority of it is good, and therefore will argue that we should apply these ideals to our lives for a prosperous society.

Regardless, if you're asking for one's own reason as to why one believes, it is because I believe that even if He doesn't exist, He should. Humanity has shown itself to be naught but pure evil that is driven by hedonism and pride—who regularly engage in injustice and debauchery. In a righteous world, God exists. If He doesn't exist, then we should act as if He does and make of ourselves, Him.

This is only the next natural stage that I can realistically see for man in our evolution. For as long as we deny this, we'll be stuck as cavemen who do nothing but crave after primal desires like just any other animal—constantly engaging in pointless competition that leads us nowhere, as we commit injustice after injustice against each other.

Or at least, that's what I think.

science...

loooolllll holy iqcel..
science says generally that there was a big bang.
this begs the questions “why was there anything there that would expand into the universe in the first place?” and “what set it in motion?”
science does not and will not account for this as science is simply the way we understand material things.

Do you think planets, life and intelligence formed randomly? The universe follows a pattern of growing and evolutionary computation it would be extremely improbable that this emerges continuesly from caos instead of assigning them to a will or a clash of wills said this I mostly believe in God for circonstantial proofs mostly historical and philosophical like the numerous accounts of the existence of Jesus and the values so well structured in human nature that the Bible teaches

The existence of God is just what makes the most sense when counting all fields of study

I have for a long time held this same opinion and i recently found a book which helped me more clearly understand why.

The book is called "L'altruismo e la morale" which basically translates in to "altruism and morals".
There its authors Francesco Alberoni and Salvatore Veca argues that the basis for our modern morals stems from the christian Agape love, and how the enlightenment thinkers like Kant and Bentham rationalised this instinctive feeling, which were put into words by christianity.

That as you say, religions helps us strive beyond our natural state by finding universal truths and ideals which - if rationalised right - might help us evolve into the gods we worship.
