That's a complicated question it depends on what do you mean by god?

[-] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I believe in me. You are all being perceived by me. And anything I cannot perceive is not in the realm of existence.

I used to as my parent taught me that but now as a grown up , I dont believe in god. I mean I am not sure if god exists so I dont believe in god. Just like ghosts, aliens etc.

"Omnism" is the closest definition to what I'm trying to define. Debates will never end, but I'm happy with my own path

God? No... Gods? Yea sure, i believe in nature, i believe in the balance of everything, and for a lack of giving my faith a focus, i have turned to the norse gods multiple times.

They arent omnipotent, they arent all knowing, but they are beings bumbling around the universe like us, doing dumb ass shit... like all of us... and you can ask for favors, but dont expect to get it granted, because if you arent willing to make a sacrafice, and do the groundwork, why on earth would they help you?

Of a sort.

I strongly believe that the universe we are in is one created and run by an intelligent 3rd party.

But unlike 99.9% of the people who share that belief, I happen to also believe that this 3rd party was itself created from evolutionary processes in a world that was not created.

It's a belief that seems to go back at least to the 3rd century CE, but centers around the notion that a chaotic universe where life evolved without design (an idea at least as old as Leucretius in 50 BCE) would eventually create life sophisticated enough to be able to create worlds itself, and that we are in the re-creation of such a universe at an earlier point in time.

One of the wildest aspects of that belief in antiquity was its focus on the notions of Greek atomism and matter being made up of indivisible parts as an indicator of its claim of being in a copy of a higher fidelity original. Especially given that a central component of my own belief in this topic relates to the similarity between quantum behaviors (indivisible parts of matter) and hacks we have started using in building procedurally generated voxel based virtual worlds.

No. Raised in the faith but never truly believed.

[-] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. I think. It's becoming more difficult.

[-] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

No. God is fake and hetero.
