If god is all about faith and he never does anything what is the point in god?

What's he supposed to do?
If you believe in God then you realise that in actual fact what he has done (or her) is left us here to sort our lives out. We are not puppets but human beings who are born to make our own mistakes.

So why bother with a god ? He is obviously not bothering with us

thats where faith comes into it dude. If you do have faith then fate and karma can all come into it. Some people need there faith, some people just choose to believe, or not, depending on who you are

faith in what ? Thats what I dont understand . If hes not going to do anything to help and he has never done anything to help what should we have faith in apart from ourselves?

by **dawson99** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 5:02 pm

Faith in a greater power. faith that there is some point to lfie more than just this i guess.
All epople believe something different. I believe theres a big guy up there, watching over us, maybe helping us make decisions when we need them.
I dont wanna come across as some kind of mad preacher but its just up to the individual. You cant believe that this is ti tho, there has to be something more, and fate and karma has happened so much to me that i beleieve there is something more

I respect your views mate as I said yesterday, why get upset if someone wants to believe different things. Its just that so many wars are fought over religion etc, to me its like fighting a war over the easter bunny. A nice story told to kids to stop them being frightened. If people realised that this is all there was, they might think twice before blowing themselves and others up.
As for Karma and fate change the name to LUCK.

All religions promise a better afterlife for the believers ,be it a place in some kind of paradise or a rebirth as a more fortunate being.Faith/religion is imo nothing more than a good idea dreamed up by the few to control the many .

I'm not suggesting that the tenants of the various relions are wrong . They all urge us to lead a decent life and ultimately that would benefit all of mankind . Just don't expect any reward when your time is up other than the knowledge that you've been one of the "good guys" and your life may in some miniscule way have made a positive difference.

There is nothing wrong in believing in religion until someone takes advantage of the fact to manipulate it for his own benefit. Or someone decides that their religion is the one true religion and the rest must change or DIE. At least with the easter bunny and the tooth fairy you get something in return.
Better to try to live your life to the benefit of your children and others than for the benefit of religous fanatics.
