Questioning is good. Everyone should do more of that, and that includes atheists. If you keep asking questions, you just might find yourself believing in God once again.

Yes I understand what you mean, I used to think that, just kept questioning, as a good INFJ ... ha ha ha

I believe that there just has to be a God. The universe's structure is just to complex and to well formed to believe that simple luck could have caused all of this. The fact that human beings (and possibly other intelligent life) can love, reason, have free will, acknowledge their own existence, and have a conscience is too much proof.

I used to believe in god, not anymore.

Agree here with you, the Higher Power is by It's nature beyond knowing or defining, but that It is or perhaps I should say "I AM," is without doubt.

Pretty much in the boat of , "The more I know the more I know I don't know". Don't believe in a personified supreme being (unless I chose to in any certain moment). Guess I believe more in a universal pulse - the Tao? Wu chi? I enjoy swimming in the ocean of most religions and philosophies but hold them all very gently and completely honor each persons personal way of connecting/not connecting with...with...well what ever anyone wants to call the un-named.

I believe in God. I have a strong spiritual side that finds a lot of meaning and answers from the perspective of a world where God exists and is actively involved in our lives.

i strongly believe in the existence of a deity of some kind. i completely dismiss the notion of an interventionist god however. i believe in a metaphysical god...for me philosophy supersedes religion. it is my religion.

well as i've been doing research it all seems to be the same thing at the end of the day. just finished a book by Kevin Williams called ' Nothing Better Than Death" http://www.near-death.com/ which illustrates the duality and also what happens when we pass over or 'graduate' as they call it. M

Depends on your definition of spiritual. Does spiritual belief need to include God or gods? Buddhism can be a highly spiritual practice but belief in God or even in the soul is not central to teachings or beliefs. In that way, Buddhism is atheistic while at the same time highly spiritual in practice.

My thoughts exactly Waylon. You summed it up much better than I could. :)

I beleive in patterns and motiffs that seem to create synchonicities on a lot of different levels I beleive in forshadowing as a result, and from my nom de plume "irony's prophet" I beleive in irony, in fact when I look carefully for irony anywhere I reap in abundance on many levels. It doesn't imply a judgemental parental god but rather it implies a creative God a bit like William Shakespere as writer and directors, and we are a cast of actors so good in our roles that while we live and play the roles we forget who we are when we're off stage. But in the end, when the curtain falls, the villians and the heros are not seperated into good and evil, one rewarded and the other punished eternally. Rather they are revealed to be neither good nor evil, just actors playing a part for a story, and there will be other plays where they will play other roles so well they forget who they are again. That's my beleif, not in a literal sense, but the analogy helps to express what I mean.

I believe in all sorts of things. I definitely believe in a higher power, but I'm not entirely sure how to define it. I believe that it's benevolent, since I've had a lot of little experiences in my life that serve to confirm than belief. Beyond that I'm not so sure. I try to keep an open mind, and I have a lot of ideas about how I think things work, but they do get updated and occasionally discarded or added to. Mostly I believe that none of us has an exclusive handle on the Truth. I believe every religion has a glimpse of the Truth, but that the Ultimate Reality (don't you just love how convenient capital letters are sometimes?) is likely something more complicated that we realize. Quite possibly more complicated than we're even capable of understanding.

I believe in God, nature, energy and the unexplained. There were so many things years ago that no one believed in because there were no scientific explanations for it, yet over time, the explanations came into being. I would just hate to have a closed mind.
