I believe in God, one higher being that is, or atleast close too, allknowing. However, I\'m not a firm believer of the Christian-way. Too much bullshit has happened over the past centuries :(
Browsing the forums when I\'m bored, nothing more.

I believe in Evil Order and Holy Order.  The orders don\'t have race or religions.  Religions were created by them to confuse people.  The Orders reside in the universe and have many agents on earth.  The agents are born into the world not knowing they are agents.  They are the shadows of societies and can influence great leaders, good or bad, to act the ways agents want.  

:D  no seriously, I don\'t believe in God

Yep, though I don\'t believe in the people who believe that they do.

I rarely \"get religious\" on forums, but this was too inviting :)

I believe in the all-powerful, all-knowing and perfect God who created the universe.  I also believe that a man by the name of Jesus of Nazareth was the incarnation of the \"Son of God\", a part of God which had existed for eternity past.

I know the original question was \"yes or no\", but two people can \"believe in God\" and mean two totally different things :)

EDIT: looks like Kiern doesn\'t believe in me :)

Probably for the better... religion has been used as a trump-card excuse to act for selfish or lunatic gain for, oh, a million years or so.

I was brought up in a Catholic Elementary School, rather strict upon the faith. Through the years I did all the things you have to do like first communion, reconcilation, confirmation etc.. All that time though I never really believed in it all, just something I was forced into doing by my parents.

I believe in no God, but I do believe in good <--Serious)

Eh, I think they call my type \"agnostic\".

That is, not anti-religion nor pro-religion, just confused.
If some holy entity wants me to worship the just, and \"true\" religion, I\'ll do that when I see for myself.
Otherwise, I have limited time on this earth, time which going to church takes away.
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

Yes and No.
If the Gods as are written in religion exist, then they\'re all very sadistic, as they seem to enjoy watching us blowing each other up.

If you say that a \'God\' is someone that can both give and take life, create life from scratch even, then I believe that somewhere a God or Gods exist, as science will progress to a stage where we can create life from molecules. In fact, some guy did actually make a single celled organism out of carbon I believe, and it counted as living. So technically our race are already Gods. Of course, that guy was hunted by religious fanatics who thought that creating life from nothing was trying to take the place of God etc. A bit like abortian and cloning scientists are stalked :P

meh, if you believe in pagan gods ;) just say no. He\'s asking if you believe in the one God so christian, jewish, whatever, not pagan.

Actually if you don\'t believe in the one God, then you\'re a pagan. It\'s simple yes - no question. It isn\'t possible to be both christian/jewish and pagan so stop saying \"yes and no\" -_-

and yes, I won\'t stop bolding it untill you people understand that God is somewhat the name of christian god.

christian god - God
norse god - Odin
Yliakum god - Talad

it\'s simple, really ;)

I\'m sorry if I offended you. I just saw that other people were doing it and I thought it was ok.
