it is easier to think there is no personal responsibility for any action.

Such a simple question with so many complex answers I don't believe in a God that scrutinizes every single one of my decisions and punishes me personally for my choices. But I do believe that there is a force behind creation that I cannot explain, and I would call that "God".

So...yes

My uncle used to say, "There's no athetist in fox holes." He was in WWII, a Chinese American fighting in Europe.

I guess the point that he was trying to say is that it depends on the situation one's been through. For me, I have yet to come across that situation.

I voted "No".

I voted yes.. I have some sort of faith because I was brought up a Catholic.. (My parents were born in the Philippines, a country of die hard Catholics) But I rarely to church, and if I do its only to please my parents on holidays..

I don't really believe anything I learned at religion school, but its good as a concept.. kinda like communism.

My belief is that "God" is the force that drives the universe.. the fuel that burns to provide life.

So...yes
Even though I'm Baptist, I think your opinion is very interesting, because I think that everyone has to admit that there is some kind of GOD. Most people that don't believe in God say that can't believe anything "supernatural". But... everyone has to admit that there is "something strange" in our story...

Everything we know, has a beggining and an end, cars, plants, babes, and even Schummi!

But... what if we could fast reverse our planet... when would it be the "begining" ? The Big Bang? And before the Big Bang, what existed?? There would have to be something!!!! Like Lavoisier said.. in nature, nothing is gained, nothing is lost, everything transforms!!

It happened something that we don't understand, and we close our eyes to this fact. And most of us do the same to GOD. We don't understand, so we look the other side.

Opinions?

I believe that God is the creator and sustainer of the universe; made man in his image, gave his son so that we may have everlasting lives.

in a nutshell, that is me

As a devout Christian, I praise God with every breath I take, and forever thankful that I am saved.
