Do You Believe in God and Why?
Do you believe in God and why?
With over 20 major religions in today’s world, God is the most recognized superior power. We are told to believe that this God is a supernatural being: one of a group of supernatural male beings in some religions, each of which is worshiped as the personification or controller of some aspect of the universe. God is the English name given to a singular being in theistic and deistic religions who is either the sole deity in monotheism, or a single deity in polytheism. Theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to the many concepts of God. The most common among these include omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence.
I personally do not believe in God, or any higher power for that matter. I do not see how one being could make the world in 7 days, one of them resting. I do not believe in an afterlife or a heaven, but simply just in peace once you have passed. In many ways, I could be known as an atheist but do not like to give myself a label. It is difficult to credit any one religion as being true or any one god as being true when there have been so many throughout human history. None appears to have any greater claim to being credible or reliable than any other. Why Christianity and not Judaism? Why Islam and not Hinduism? Why monotheism and not polytheism? Every position has had its defenders, all as passionate as those in other traditions. They can’t all be right, but they can all be wrong. Reasons for why I do not believe in God are broad.
My first reason is that there are contradictory characteristics in Gods. Theists often claim that their gods are perfect beings; however they describe their gods in contradictory and incoherent ways. A number of different characteristics are attributed to their gods, some of which are impossible. It is unlikely or impossible for these gods to exist. This does not mean that no
