It's usually a cremation, and you can certainly have a humanist ceremony, not sure about atheist.

There are millions of people and things that you've not seen, touched, smelled or whatever but you recogise that they exist despite that.
Of course, but for all those things that I believe in, somebody else has seen, touched, smelled or otherwise detected them and have done so in a repeatable manner.

Why do I believe in God?

Fair question. Difficult to answer, though, to be honest. It's a very personal thing.

Partly it's down to having seen and experienced things that defy any other explanation. Surviving things that were technically unsurvivable, for example. Or seeing things seemingly randomly preserved in a sea of chaos and destruction.

Partly it's down to a refusal to accept or believe that we're here by chance and that everything we do is for nothing - we're born we die, that's it.

And partly because I simply do.

I may try to elaborate later, though I may well not...

But on a more serious note: this debate turned into "why religion", as I thought it was meant to be why religious people seem to interpret every act or situation according to how it seems fit.

I'm sure you can be religious without seeing everything as a "sign" or "punishment". Right ?

RedFive, you're absolutely right.

There are plenty of things, good and bad, that I see every day which could be attributed to God but could equally be attributed to human error, human nature, human endeavour or whatever.

I reserve seeing the hand of God for things which, to me, have no other possible explanation...

PS I don't know (or really care) about yours, but MY God doesn't go around handing out punishments *****-nilly anyway.

Taken from the BBC natural history files.

The search for the unicorn, and proof of its existance, dates back
almost as far as the legends which surround it. Ctesias spoke of the
unicorn in the court of Darius II, the King of Persia in 416 BC. Chinese
writings date back to 2800 BC. The men of the ancient world believed in
the existance of the unicorn, so the object of their searching was to find
it, and prove it existed. It wasn't until later in history that man
first sighted unicorn in the new forest in southern England. In the ninth century, Margoulies wrote, 'It is universally held that the unicorn is a
natural being and the desendant of a horse."
Even village women and children know the unicorn as a friendly animal. But this animal does not figure among the barnyard animals, it is not always easy to come across, it does not lend itself to zoological classification, nor is
it like the horse or bull, the wolf or deer. In such circumstances we may
be face to face with a unicorn and not know for sure that we are. We know
a certain animal with a mane is a horse and that a certain animal with
horns is a bull. The last sighting of a unicorn was on the yorkshire moors in 1998 by a long distance lorry driver on his way to the hull ferry terminal. He later reported; "I was suprised to see a white horse on the moors, they're normally always dark, but when I saw the horn I was completely bowled over. I pulled over to take a closer look and was able to walk right up to it, I held out my hand and it let me touch it, the clear eyes were haunting and the horn was like a pointed spiral, it seemed a very friendly animal but as I took my camera from my pocket it simply bolted and was gone in a flash, I'll never forget that moment for the rest of my days."

It will depend, in part on your specific religion. Some religions have quite a humanised god that they believe created them and has an influence on thier daily lives, either as direct effect on every action, or through some guidance. This is reasonably consistent with the Judeo / Christian / Islamic faiths, not so with religions such as Bhuddism.

I see it most with Christians, maybe as I am more exposed to them, and in particular Americans. Watch some of the home rennovation programs and such that are US based. When they see the house it's all "Thank you god" and not "Thank you fred for all your hard work". They are thanking god for providing them with the hard working souls that have sorted their **** pit out. I saw much the same thing with what was initially thought to be the saving of the miners. Thank you god and off to church. However when it turns out they were not saved, we don't see all these people in church going "god, you're a ***** fu*ker, why did you do this?", not they are off hitting the guy who broke the news and blaming the mining company. Know while I agree the mining company is where the anger should perhaps be aimed, I also thing the gratitude should be directed to the people that tried to save the miners and not god.

I see you've now decided to actually answer my original question - proving that your original answer was a tad hasty .

I, Like you, am not convinced that you believe in God to explain all things "un-explainable". If you really think about it I'm sure you'll come back to the fact you've been conditioned to believe it. If you were brought up by a group of people who believed in the existence of Dog you would indeed believe that the Dog created all things and is responsible for un-expalined happenings .

Doesn't make you bad .

I do see your point entirely. First of all and slightly off topic, the misunderstanding about the survivors/victims apparently alledgely was because of intercepted comms between the rescue team "downstairs" and the guys at the surface. This was then immediately aired on CNN. To me, that would say more about the craziness of "instant news" than it would on religion.

I think it boils down to the fact that most people are a tad on the shallow side, both atheists & religious. I *think* that somebody who is serious about their belief would never automatically assume that everything is the work of the big puppet player. "Oh, the water boils, tea time & thank you Gawd". Brrr...

If you look at all the atrocities committed in wars, crime, or the devastation in Tsunamia ( ), it is very hard to believe in a "personal" God that is staging all this all of the time. I believe it was a Swedish priest that stated the tsunami was an act of God against homosexuals... you have to be a complete moron to say things like that

I am an atheist, but I don't feel the need to put down religious people. If you read what SB wrote a few posts back, he states that part of his belief is the refusal to see everything as just a string of pointless coincidences. I refuse to believe that the string of pointless coincidences is some kind of "test" by God Not just meant as a play of words BTW.

So we both argue on the same basis, but reach a different conclusion.

That said, I do feel for the family of those miners. It must be a freakin' nightmare.

That certainly created an awful situation for the families I do agree, but it also generated this situation where we see "If it's good, god dunnit, if it's bad somebody else dunnit". I just find it hard to comprehend that some actions people want to attribute to their god and others they will not. It suggests a weakness in their faith where they will only attribute actions that reinforce their belief (of a benevolant provider for many Christian - although that's not the case if you actually read the bible) and will ignore anything that suggests their belief is wrong.

I think it boils down to the fact that most people are a tad on the shallow side, both atheists & religious. I *think* that somebody who is serious about their belief would never automatically assume that everything is the work of the big puppet player. "Oh, the water boils, tea time & thank you Gawd". Brrr...
Depends what you mean by "serious", the fanatics most certainly would. Look through the archives at http://forums.randi.org for postings by a users called "1inChrist".

If you look at all the atrocities committed in wars, crime, or the devastation in Tsunamia ( ), it is very hard to believe in a "personal" God that is staging all this all of the time.
Hard to believe a benevolant god would be involved yes. This then causes many christians some serious problems. How can our god be benevolant and allow these things to happen? Lots of answers, most of the good arguments severely weaken the case for god so the usual choice picked is "because god works in misterious ways" where they don't have to try and reationalise the illogical situation they find themselves in.

I believe it was a Swedish priest that stated the tsunami was an act of God against homosexuals... you have to be a complete moron to say things like that
Much of the christian church still has big issues about homosexuality. It also has its fair share of bigots.

I am an atheist, but I don't feel the need to put down religious people. If you read what SB wrote a few posts back, he states that part of his belief is the refusal to see everything as just a string of pointless coincidences. I refuse to believe that the string of pointless coincidences is some kind of "test" by God Not just meant as a play of words BTW.
I don't put down religious people, I just find it hard to understand blind faith, how people can believe in non falsifiable hypothesis.

That said, I do feel for the family of those miners. It must be a freakin' nightmare.
Indeed - but if you have religion why should you mourn, they have gone to a better place surely, unless you fear they haven't?

Neither of my parents are religious in any way. My father is so devout an atheist as to make it almost a faith in itself, but that's another matter entirely. I went to a non denominational school, dropped RE as soon as I could and didn't go to church, except for Remembrance Sunday, until fairly recently. The remembrance thing had more to do with my previous occupation and duty than anything else .

Then something changed. As I said, I'm not sure I can explain it. But it's not conditioning, environment or anything else. I'm also not a great believer in The Church or organised religion at all. That makes not one iota of difference to my faith and belief in God, though.

So would it be fair to say you believe in a god or gods rather than God. i.e. you feel there is a higher power of some kind but not as described by the formal religions?

Not going to quote/unquote the whole reply, as we seem to agree for most part.

Mourning is about yourself though, not about the dead. Six Feet Under comes to mind

And I think you might agree that the dividing line between bigots/non bigots is not necessarily a religious one. NSR is enough proof of that

Interesting point.

So you believe in God but you would consider anyone who had met him some sort of nutter - Like most people would (be they religous or not).

Why can't we meet God if he/she/it exists ?

PS The answer to my question is because he only exists in some people's heads !
