This is a pretty heavy topic, but I'm sure most of us here at Oddworld Forums are mature enough to discuss our beliefs while showing respect to those of others.
The title of the topic is "Do you believe in God?" but this subject can cover whatever your beliefs are in regards to religion, or lack thereof.
My beliefs often change and perhaps the best word to sum them up is
agnostic. I'd like to believe there is a kind and loving God up there somewhere, someone who knows all and looks upon us in the tribulating times of our lives. Jesus was a great man and could be the Son of God. The Buddha may have really reached enlightenment.
Other times I find myself acknowledging the impossibility of ever knowing TheTruth™ and dismiss religion as a way of quenching the yearning that humans have to understand our origins. Religion fills that questioning nature we have. I believe existence is something far too complex for us to ever understand so we attempt to explain it the best we can, should it be with mysterious unseen entities or scientific theories.
There's so much we don't know about the universe. Just look at perceptions people had four thousand years ago compared to 2001. Imagine what new things people will be learning about in the year 7001. I doubt anyone will ever be able to understand everything, but physics is somewhere to start. The mathematical side of physics bores me to death though.
It's an interesting thing to talk about, it flows more when discussing it in real life. But I'd like to hear people's thoughts on God, Life, and the Universe. Oh, and it makes for better discussion if you give reasons why you believe in whatever it is you believe.
