Why do people ask this? Among other reasons, why don't you ask what you really want. Because obviously you want something. So why don't you go ahead and ask. Tell us what you really want to know.
Yes but I'm not a follower of any religion as I think you cannot put God in a box like that. I know there is a creator but I'm not going to pretend I know how they operate.
People who ask this aren't serious or interesting.
This guys has a good idea about it. I am deistic but I don't find it worth explaining myself to anyone other than my close friends I've known for over 20 years. There's literally no point in talking about religion with people you don't know. A lot of my friends are atheists and I'm not bothered and they aren't bothered with what I've said to them over the years. The ultimate thing is that recruitment of any kind is gay.
>I know there is a creator
What do you care? Why would you possibly care? Are you a big aficionado of the beginning of the universe? Gimme a fricking break. Why dont you tell us what you really want.
Every living thing wants the same thing (to be whole.) They exist in a perpetual state or atleast sense of separation from that wholeness. (Im hungry, so in order to be whole i eat) The deer looks for this wholeness in the ways its able due to its limited consciousness. The human being looks for this wholeness in the same way and a mirad of other ways (Sex will make me whole, a family will make me whole, etc etc) With the humans degree of consciousness. Consciously or unconsciously every living thing is striving for god, which is the only perfect wholeness that is. Thats why god matters. The most ardent atheist is slowly but surely walking towards god albeit unaware. Inside every living being the longing to return to this perfect union is present within the soul as god is present within the soul, and the battle ensues over the egoic material attachment that by its own nature attempts to reject this surrender almost constantly. All spiritual processes and disciplines are meant to subdue this material draw and encourage the divine longing, for god, for freedom, for wholeness.
This is pretty much one of C.S. Lewis's arguments. That for most of man's desires and appetites, there is something in the physical world to satisfy, things we can eat, material to make clothes and shelter out of, etc. But spiritual fulfillment doesn't exist in nature, so why do we have that innate drive?
The system is designed to assist each soul in realizing the supreme being. We can observe this in the way sin produces suffering and virtue produces contentment - it's the supreme consciousness guiding us back to it.
0 = omniscience = The Father
1 = 0 without 2
2 = potential for creation = time
3 = the realization of the potential = "material" things + embodied portions of the supreme consciousness < The Son (enlightened beings)
== a formless source which produces embodied portions of itself which sustain itself by eliminating the unreal.
-Truth doesn't exist in a vacuum. It must be eternally realized.
-Self-created light, love, and consciousness are all that truly exists (unified in consciousness at the "source")
-All is one - all is consciousness
>>Of course there's a God. We all know there is...When you think to yourself – and most of our waking life is taken up thinking to ourselves – you must have that feeling that your thoughts aren’t entirely wasted, that in some sense they are being heard. Rationally, they aren’t; you’re entirely alone. Even the people to whom we are closest can have no idea of what is going on in our minds. But we aren’t devastated by loneliness because, at a hardly conscious level, we don’t accept that we’re entirely alone. I think this sensation of being silently listened to with total comprehension – something you never find in real life – represents our innate belief in a supreme being, some all-comprehending intelligence.
Evolution will eventually reveal God, the presence of the sun will shift to that of a conscious, intelligent watchful eye, it will be totally commonplace.

Everytime I watch this movie, I cum in my pants. This also happens when I play Quake.

sounds pretty useless
Why? It's true. Nobody knows the 100% truth of our existence.

Why are you triggered by me saying I believe theres a creator? Stop overthinking it.
Oh can't even answer a simple fricking question. Why is everyone so goddamn full of shit? That's rhetorical.

I'm not him but what a fricking gay and needlessly belittling response to someone who is trying to be serious with you and answer you.
uh huh

>I don't understand Algebra II but God? Oh I've got that one all wrapped up.
How absolutely fricking vain do you have to be to even ask this question.
Literally one of the most kino flicks of all time. I cum and shit my pants whenever I watch it.
I've unironically always believed it was something like in the film Prometheus
Do you believe in life after love?
Yes
Yes

>Terrence Howard has entered the chat
i am not yet convinced there is one, so i dont assume there is

I believe we were designed, because we can design things ourselves, which implies one of three things
A. We were designed ourselves.
B. We are transcendentally superior to the unorganized universe that randomly brought us forward.
C. Design itself is an illusion.
Are you implying animals don't design things?
No, I believe animals were designed as well.
Are you implying there's no such thing as evolution?
That's not what I'm implying, and you're dodging my thesis. When you build a house or paint a portrait, is that a random, unguided accident?
>The teeth? We don't know
>A sign from Hashem? Don't know.
>Helping others?...Couldn't hurt
Goddamn the Coens are fricking brilliant
>Do you believe in God?
No, I know him
Evolution will eventually reveal God, the presence of the sun will shift to that of a conscious, intelligent watchful eye, it will be totally commonplace.
