God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.

Yes. That's the trouble with BELIEF. You accept something on faith, whether it makes sense or whether there's any proof at all.

D and E. A bit of a contradiction, true. Cognito ergo sum. I think therefore I exist. Man thinks of God, therefore he exists. Which points to the fact that if the God is a product of man, then the supposed God of (A) does not exist. Therefore I motion that a god, or gods, do not exist at all. How can a god exist and de-exist, through the thought of man? Logic101. My weak point in college, but a great tool in regards to faith, religion, and gods.

I don't believe that any god is real.\n\nAnd to those who reply that it is a choice:  Sorry, but it isn't.  Either you are convinced or you are not convinced.  You can no sooner choose to believe that a god exists than you can choose to really, deep down, believe that the moon is made of green cheese.  Try it sometime.\n\nAnd to those who reply that they believe because of their feelings:  Sorry, but feeling something does not make it real.  If you really want to believe something is real, you will feel it is real, and that goes for anything.  Emotions don't affect reality.  Things are not true just because you want them to be true.\n\nAnd to those who reply that they believe because of miracles or prayers being answered:  Sorry, but attributing things that happen in your life to a god doesn't make that god real.  When people want something to be real, they will look for evidence or manufacture evidence for it being real.  They may not even realize they are doing this.\n\nAnd yes, belief in a god can be used as a crutch to improve your life.  That doesn't make it anything more than a crutch.

No, I don't automatically assume a person who asks about God believes in God. I assume this is a person who wants to know about God. The fact you ask at all, tells me you doubt there is no God, and are willing to explore there really is a God.\n\nI do believe in God, I always have and I always will. I look at life with all of its intricacies, diversity and complexity, and i just can not accept we came to be on Earth any other way than by the Hand of God. There are just to many "just happens to be" to say evolution, and not God's creativity put life on Earth.

No.  There is no god.  There's no evidence pointing toward the existence of a god or gods, and no reason to suspect that such evidence just hasn't been found yet.

No, I lack belief in all gods that I've come across so far. It's not possible for me to believe in something if I haven't seen/experienced/perceived anything that makes me think it exists.\n\nTo akpajuju, what if you believed in the wrong god and that god treated idolatry much worse than simply lacking belief? Or what if there is a god that respects honest lack of belief due to never having seen any evidence, but condemns insincere profiteering people who "believe just in case"? You're no "safer" than an atheist. Also it isn't a choice, I can no more choose to believe a god exists than I can choose to believe I'm sat on the back of a unicorn right now.

Pardon my intrusion, but I do believe in God, 100%.  Not any god or idol of worship, but Jesus Christ, the one true God.  As a believer, my opinion is that "those" who don't believe in God ARE missing out on something (many things), including friendship (if you're alone in this world), fellowship (with other believers, not persecutors), and spiritual satisfaction (always knowing that if God brings you "to it", then God will bring you "through it".)  Good question,  probably no right or wrong answers though...

No, I don't believe in any gods. I have never experienced or perceived anything at all that makes me think a god exists. It isn't possible for me to believe in something that has no evidence for it, that would be like me believing there is a flying cow in this room with me now.\n\nI'm perfectly satisfied with my lack of belief because it isn't contradicted by anything that I've come across. It wouldn't bother me if a god did exist, I would be quite satisfied with that too if that was where the evidence took me. It isn't though, so I continue lacking belief.

Does GOD believe in you?????

None. \n\nTHERE IS NO PROOF THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST.  \n\nBut there is evidence EVERYWHERE that He DOES exist. \nWe see God in all that there is. There is evidence of him in all cultures. Some differ on who and what He his. But throughout history man of all ages and all cultures acknowledge a god. \n\nOne may not agree with all the natural things that point to God, all the history that points to God, all the people that point to God.....yet, and still, there is at least SOME evidence in these things to ANYONE that there is a god.\n\nWhen you weigh both sides, it  takes a fool to not believe in God.\n\nVirtually all our great leaders and presidents alike acknowleged God.  Our forefathers and foremothers, even the immediate fathers and mothers of of those that don't even believe in God; they believe(d) in God. \n\nConsider all the religeous scholars throughout the ages even unto this day, all the songs and hymns that have been written concerning God, etc. We could go on and on.  They don't all agree on many principles, but, they ALL agree that He is.  Somehow, all of these people are nuts and a few dim souls with enough free time to float around on Yahoo for several hours a day think they KNOW that God does not exist! I THINK NOT.  \n\nOne thing is for sure, some of them, before they die will come crawling to the God they denied;  the others will die wishing they had.\n\nIf we that believe in God are fools; then let it  be known that their ancestors, even mothers and fathers where even bigger fools.  Many of those that lived and died before us where fools.  Because they also believed.  But praise be unto God; they where not.\n\n"believe there's no proof"  . vs.  "believe the written testamonies and evidence everywhere"\n\nIt's a persons choice, but it takes a BONAFIDE FOOL to side with "no proof".\n\nThere is no "burden of proof" on anyone that believes in God to prove it to ones that do not believe in Him. The belief in God is ones OWN burden. Everyone only has their own burden to decide to believe or not to believe. \n\nI have no responsibility to prove Gods existence to anyone. Neither does anyone else have that responsibility.\n\n\nPeace

Yes, I truly believe in god. Think, who gave life to you? Don't tell me your mom. How are you born? How do sperms and eggs exist? They are created by God, and these are created so that you can be born. Also, who gave you the five senses, your eyes, ears, tongue, nose, skin? Who gave you a brain, so that you have the chance to be smart and have a better living? Who gave you hands to do good deeds? Think about all these. Although we can't see god, we know god is always beside us, protecting us and guiding us. Sometimes, god even gave us miracles.

I don't believe in God, and I feel absolutely OK. I don't buy the blackmail that if I don't believe, I'll be damned. Live a life of freedom and don't believe in anything they cannot prove you.
