I Believe in God Because....

key · 01-17-2010, 04:18 AM

The only way I can explain "why" I believe in God is: It's in my genes. I do not believe that those who are atheist or agnostic are wrong, and I know that while I walk this earth I will never be able to prove the existence of God. So to paraphrase the great Lily and Jane "it's a collective hunch." The more I study my ideas of God the less form God has, the more formless, more like pure energy God is for me. I sometimes think of It as the stuff between all the stuff we experience with our senses, the cosmic glue holding all that stuff together and out of which all things are formed. Its not the tears or the laughter, its the energy that creates those experiences. But of course it is those experiences too, they are not separate, nothing is separate from God. Nothing.

The pronoun that suits It best for me is "It", though that is not as warm and fuzzy and as personal as I experience It. And I do still talk to Jesus sometimes, but that is different (for me) than the entire experience of God.

I believe in God because He is the only One who has never given up on me, and believes in me, and loves me. He doesn't care if my words come out wrong, or if I am judged as a misfit. He knows my heart, my intentions, and my free will. All are good. It's like the book called "When the Brain Can't Hear" is how I live my life. God is the engine that does hear. He is my constant companion, protector, and guide. I would rather have God on my side than anyone else.

This is how I feel. For me God is an energy. My God consciousness ideally is how connected i feel to all that is. There is no separation.

When people ask me what religion or what I believe in I don't have a name or definition. I am spiritual and conscious. I wake up everyday considering my actions and movements. How can I make the world a better place today? Where will I direct love? I am grateful and I thank God.

Key,

You are right, nothing is separate from God. We are all connected in some form or fashion.

I thought this was going to be a long post,not today.To me there are two Gods in this world.And it seems to me the hardest thing to do for some people is picking the right one.There's my God,then there's the Devil.I believe in them both.No,I didn't learn a lot about these two Gods from going to church or reading the holy bible.Nope,you really can't learn much from imitating your friends or reading a book.You must actually go out in the world and see first hand how people treat each other,I mean actually treat each other when no one is looking for approval.The dark and good sides of human nature are there for all to see if your eyes are truly open.All i'm saying is that if my ass was drowning,I never prayed for the devil to save me.It was the devil who lied.Just look at what he made them do to Jesus.That's one powerful God if you ask me.But there is another who is more powerful.
And it is that God that I have faith in to get me out of a jam.

Jesse~I believe in God because....he did save my ass more than once.

My hell is as though I were living my own private Dunkirk. But this is what happened at Dunkirk:

The Dunkirk evacuation, codenamed Operation Dynamo by the British, was the evacuation of Allied soldiers from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk, France, between 26 May and 4 June 1940, when British, French, Canadian, and Belgian troops were cut off by the German army during the Battle of Dunkirk in the Second World War. In a speech to the House of Commons ("We shall fight on the beaches"), Winston Churchill called the events in France "a colossal military disaster", saying that "the whole root and core and brain of the British Army" had been stranded at Dunkirk and seemed about to perish or be captured. He hailed their rescue as a "miracle of deliverance."

I think God has a few new things in store for me.All I can do is put my faith in him and let it be.God never steered me wrong.

I am still here.
I am free to feel...whether it be good or bad.
I have been truly blessed by the people who are in my life.
