I don't care if one exists or not, I doubt any religion on earth has it right, so why bother practicing something you know is wrong. And if a religion is right and I am going to hell for believing in it then god is a dick who doesn't' deserve worship.
I am awesome and so are you.

I'm Buddhist and we're more or less agnostic. Hell, I don't why we're considered a religion, we don't pray to any deity or not all sects believe in reincarnation or afterlife. Anyway, I think a being or beings on another plane of existence is possible.

Do I believe that it exist something out there that can do stuff that could explain some of the stuff that Gods are claimed to do in religious scripts? Yes.
Do I believe in Gods as they are portraited in religious scripts? No.

If there is one, the people who insist it exists have been doing a rubbish job of presenting a convincing case for it. It seems like the mean of religious history is "Our god did everything for us, is the wisest, strongest, and has the biggest dick in the universe so you must drop your empty lifestyle and worship our god." Frankly I find conversion and religious enforcement to be a thinly veiled human power struggle.

I honestly doubt there is a creator, certainly in the questionably detailed manner that monotheists insist their god is.

On another note, my mentor and I were talking about this earlier today. Why do some folks need a deity, his/her/it's prophet, or the teachings to dictate how one should lives one life or behave? Why do some folks need these "rules" for them to know how to behave in life? Certain basic right and wrong doesn't come naturally but at some point in our adult lives shouldn't we know these already? Do we really need to know beyond these basic right and wrong stuff to be good human beings?

How so? Is it due to our curiosity/fear of the unknown? That no matter how much science can explain anything, human beings will continue to wonder about the stuff science cannot explain?

One day I was religious. Then I Googled "evidence for god". The next day I was not.

Interesting. The way I kinda see it, the life that we truly know anything about is the life that we have right now. Instead of striving to live a good life now some folks seem too focus on whatever life they are suppose to have later.

There was an article in some scientific magazines 8 years or so ago that went deep into it, I think the basics were that believing in a God made us gathering in groups that raised the probability to survive.

There is zero evidence for a god. ThAts all I'll say.

I can't and won't speak in absolutes because that's as bad as claiming their is s god.

If these evangelical nutjobs can produce scientific evidence that a god exists I would have to consider it. Just like unicorns or the existsnce of dr Manhattan. Prove it!

No, in my mind, belief in a divine force is wishful thinking. One whose origins and concepts were used as a crutch to explain what was the unexplainable at the time; like the melange of other deities.
And I'm wholly content with the idea there's plenty of existential concepts I will never grasp, rather than tell myself a god on another dimensional plane gave us the ultimate answer; constant worship.

Gurren lagann reference?

I don't believe there's one (definitely not a benevolent one at least) but of course I can't say that with certainty. I think the true nature of the universe is too freaky for a creator to come up with. I believe that there are infinitely many parallel universes though and all possible events are happening all at once and what kinda fucked up mind would invent a place like that

Having actually seen an actual fucking ghost and been haunted briefly, I know there is far far more to this existence than what we can see and measure.

So... maybe? Honestly the only idiots are the ones who say "it's impossible." And dismiss it outright.

I wish there were more options/nuance in these options.

I'm not ABSOLUTELY certain that there isn't one, but to simply say that I don't think there is one is too light. I'm very much convinced that there isn't one, and would place the probability at something like .0000000000001, but I technically can't deny the possiblity.

Is there a magic man in the sky ruling over everything? Probably not. Are there omnipresent forces that govern the world? Demonstrably so. Is there reason to believe that such forces exist in capacities that can't easily be measured or predicted, such as governing human interactions? I'd say so, and I look at most religions as attempting to describe those less-measurable forces and advise people on how to work their lives around them. In an abstractly spiritual sense, I believe in a god, but my general sense is that personifying those forces just makes it easier for people to explore them, rather than actually having some divine being governing us.

I see it from a different perspective, that some folks behave only because of said deity/deities possibly watching over them and the possible reward/punishment for their behaviors.

Like impatientperson stated, some of us try to be good and respectful of others simply because it is the right thing to do. We do not need these "rules" from a holy scripture or fear of eternal damnation to encourage us to behave well.

I think there is a set of forces in the universe that govern humanity, and for simplicity we tend to group those forces together into a singular entity, or a "god." What those forces exactly are tend to depend on who you ask. But in Judaism, we have tikkun olam -- basically, striving to make the world a better place. Most of them boil down like that to just basically not being a bad person.

I don't believe in God or anything similar, with all the bad things in the world I find the idea of an all knowing, all loving, all powerful creator laughable. If the universe is truly infinite there's a mathematical chance that I'm wrong and if God is real I like to imagine he's exactly Q from Star Trek

Thousands of gods have been created and worshiped by men and used to explain away something people didn't understand about the Earth/Sun/universe and how it/they worked.
Earthquake? God is displeased.
Flood? God is pissed.
Drought? God is upset.
Your army defeated the enemy? God clearly favored your side over those heathens!
Yet not one deity has been proven to be the "one, true god", much less proven to even exist beyond a reasonable doubt.

I'm agnostic and I even lost a date because this girl didn't like that I didn't believe in god.

If there is a god, is not a bearded man watching every step and listening to our prayers, I see it more as a cosmic force or something that surrounds everything, something we can see, and no, there's no proof of that or maybe I'm thinking too much in Star Wars lol
