No, I'm not a troll, I'm just curious as to see what other people think about this topic.
 
Personally, I believe in God because of what the Bible says, because of the witness of Creation, and because of personal experience with seeing God working in my life to mold me and shape me into the person He intended me to be. And I'm still a work in progress. We all are.
 
How bout you?

Genesis 22:3
 
"And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son."
 
I am a firm believer of saddling asses, so why not?

Dude, please get off these forums. You are a plague. LEAVE.

You post threads about hot topics that people have strong opinions about. The thread goes nowhere fast. So GET OUT.

Don't be "that guy". Just keep your religion to yourself because public displays give your cause a bad name. It's sad, but true.

Seriously, GiantBomb = Gaming Site        NOT Christain Chatboards
 
No,
Because I'm a rational person who does not need to rely on superstition to explain the things about life I do not understand,
Nor do I need the threat of burning in a pit of fire for all eternity to make me behave like a good person
 
 
And you never answered my question about whether you believe in Evolution or Creationism
 @Coombs said:

" Because if you believe in creationism then I have one word for you FOSSILS  
And if you believe in evolution you are disregarding one of the main tenants of your religion, and in essence calling your God a liar. 
And I'm pretty sure that if anything is a hell worthy trespass it's calling your god a liar. 
Enjoy your stay in the pits of hell.  "

Yes, I do believe in God. Unfortunately, religion based threads aren't really too good an idea on here, owing to the fact that they will cause flaming from people who oppose religion and so on. I believe in God, but I do not force that view on anyone else. If someone is Atheist or Agnostic, that is their choice and their choice alone. I can't change that, and neither can you. If you want to discuss religion without being flamed, etc. I recommend you use Google and see if you can find a Christian message board.

You won't convert anyone on a message board. Well maybe, but there are more efficient ways to do it. If that's what you want.

No. I have no proof of his existance.
 
And if I am wrong and there is a God with the whole heaven/hell, I really doubt that a God would let a good person get sent to hell for eternity for not blindly following something that there is no proof of. 
 
Religion stemed from people not understanding the way the world worked and saying that things were controlled by higher beings. It was then turned into a way of oppresing the public.

I don't, but I don't disrespect others for believing in one. I just don't believe in a magic man in the sky that somehow created all life in the universe. I don't know how life came to be either, but that still seems a little far-fetched to me.

Sure. Scientific breakthroughs aren't based on only believing in what's already been proven, so I'll let people who require absolute proof for everything continue to not contribute to the world in a meaningful way.

@Zunum: Yes it is an off topic board but all it causes is people to argue.  I have yet to see one Christian converted to atheism by non believers or one atheist converted to Christianity based on a discussion on a Giantbomb discussion board.  They serve NO purpose except to cause arguments.

Don't harm yourself.
 
Anyways, that's exactly my point. You believe by faith that God does not exist, just as I believe by faith that He does exist. When it boils down to the basics, the neither the existence nor the nonexistence of God can be proven or disproven. So, because we are on an equal basis of faith, and we have the same evidence (fossils, stars, life), why is it that we defend our viewpoints so close-mindedly?
 
The answer is simple: the two viewpoints of God contradict each other; both cannot be right; God can't exist and not exist at the same time, therefore, one must be true, and the other must be false.
 
So, which one is true?

Creationism, all the way. I've compared the two, and evolution falters, because it does not and cannot explain how the first cell became a living being. "And God breathed into Adam's nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being." God fills the void where nothing else can.

Do yourself and the Giantbomb community a favor and don't respond to these threads.  No matter which side you choose you end up offending people that normally get along except the occasional heated debate about games.  Just resist the urge, this is the last time I post here or any of his other religious forums.  If he wants to discuss Burnout then we will talk.

Free will is a gift from God (which is why liberty is so valuable), but we humans abuse our free will every day by sinning against God.

What made this guy think going to the internet for ANY discussion was a good idea. And its kinda weird, cause I believe in God, but I would definitely would not say im a christian.
 
So fuck all these people in here. Everyone should just watch the LOST finale Tomorrow at 9 o'clock PM. Zunum just an asshole, let it be.

Sorry for picking on you earlier and stuff, but he's right. 
You are in a gaming website. 
I know youre curious about everyone's religion, this should be done elsewhere. 
 
You know what i take that back, this should be done nowhere! ... (...well, maybe at your youth group) Why do you care if you some people here are not christians or even believe in (a) God?  
Publically youd get blank stares and people walking away from you cus automatically in their heads they think, "Jesus freak...". In Message boards? they call you out and replies like so can happen.
Leave everyone be, and let's talk about some games! 
 
I hear dat Split/Second game is sick. A guy who appreciated Burnout should appreciate this game. Why don't you download the demo? =D
