When it comes to God I don't buy the traditional view. If He/She/It exists and can create anything and knows everything I don't see why me getting on my knees and saying thanks would mean a thing to something so infinitely powerful. Surely they wouldn't have an ego?

Because someone else has influenced it....someone real, of this world.

I just don't understand the need to look for a 'god" or any kind of other world influences. It's just an excuse to blame something that does not exist and has no place in our world.

This, if any of what we're told to believe was even actually close to being fact then it's been bent and perverted over time to suit the agendas of the powerful and elite.

If there is a 'traditional' God, why would he or she need Angels? An all powerful all knowing omnipresent deity wouldn't need help.

If there is fate or destiny then how could a God intervene? If intervention is possible then fate or destiny is impossible.

I believe that a traditional God can't co exist with fate and destiny.

To quote Richard Dawkins, "Bad things, like good things don't happen any more often than they ought to by chance. The universe has no mind, no feelings, and no personality, so it doesn't do things in order to either hurt or please you. Bad things happen because things happen."

As much as we like to believe we're steering our own course through life, we all know that at any minute of the day the bubble can burst. Sometimes there is just no rhyme or reason to any of it and we have little or no control over events. So no, I don't believe things happen for a reason. It's just a case of things happen. Sadly, that can include incredibly cruel, life changing events. How we come through these moments is what ultimately defines us. Even in the deepest pits of despair though there is hope and a reason to believe that tomorrow will be a better day.

I dont believe in any of it not karma destiny fate or luck nor that things happen for a reason if so then that reason be the answer to the questions many have of WHY when often there simply is no explanation no cause no reason some things just happen thats out of our control.

I grew up around religion. I have many religious mates (Christians and Muslims). It's all bogus. But I don't criticise as long as it does not harm. If your believe is harmless then believe what ever gets you through the day/difficult patch. I know people whose faith has helped loads in bad times.

But personally it's all a load of Bullshit. I worked that out the moment I really started to study the bible. I can't see how anyone who has truly read the bible can still believe. It's so backwards and contradictory. Plus the God in the Bible is a horible head case, so I hope it's not true. I put my faith in science and reason. I am happy to accept we can explain everything. I would rather say these things are unexplained that lable them as evidence of the supernatural or intelligent design.

Utter nonsense;

There has been scientific research for millennia:

Eg;

The Chinese were inventing magnetic compasses in 300BC ( if not earlier) gunpowder, doing astronomy and had worked out the solar system several centuries BC; and developed rockets, for instance. Archimedes was developing engineering principles ( his displacement theories, , structural engineering etc ) in 200BC, he had effectively worked out Newtons laws already, and developed a form on Newtons laws ( but demonstrated them in a different way).

Whoever discovered fire, and the wheel, to name but two, did it by research and experimentation.

You can't dismiss alchemy; it was a valid avenue of research; it wasn't just " trying to make gold" it was a scientific exploration of matter.

Herbalism was simply medical scientific research, using what was available : perfectly valid in those days; and indeed, the modern pharmaceuticals owe much to early " herbalism"

What's the philosophical difference between a herbal medicine, and any opiate medicine ( which is simply obtained from opium poppies)?

Although I don't belive in kama perse there is obviously a real aspect to it.

If one person has a door held open for them and it makes them feel happy that somebody went out of their way to do it.... Then they're likely to repeat this bit of behaviour that they enjoyed to somebody else, eventually that chain follows through to an awful lot of people holding doors open for each other.

Unfortunately it works just as well in reverse and can lead to everybody being horrible to each other.

We're all creatures of learned behaviour

"A lot is luck and feeling positive about life ... But in my heart I live in hope there is something out there .. As when I read and see what is going on in the world. I hope and pray there is something to help others in pain and need."

I think we're fated to meet...does that answer the question?

If you believe in something...

..then it's in your imagination...

...therefore, by definition, it doesn't exist..!

"Do you believe in any of it?"

I believe in 'something', it helps me stay positive, but I don't believe in the dogma of organised religion.

There is so much we don't know that none of us can state whether or not these things exist or not.

We don't know if the universe is deterministic in nature. IE at the point of the Big Bang, was the universe set in motion and everything that happens is a consequence of that. Therefore the future is effectively set in stone. If that is so do we have free will.

Somethings we just are unable to do. We know the building blocks for life, yet we can't create it from the raw materials. We can not create life from inanimate objects.

What actually is life? And if we are just a bunch of electric impulses and chemicals, does it matter if we murder people? Its no different to smashing a rock.

Is there a God? Nobody has the monopoly on knowledge in this respect.
