Do you believe in God?

Fascinating. I shall correct that then.Thoul wrote:Divine Dragon wrote:This question should be altered to, "Do you believe in any Gods?"
That wouldn't really be the same question. When "God" is capitalized as in the original question, it is usually a reference to the name of singular deity of the Christian (or similar) faith. In that case, "God" is a proper noun. "Gods," as in your alteration, is a grouping of deities and, grammatically speaking, that should be "... in any gods?".
I don't mean to be harsh or imply that your question isn't valid. I have no problem with either of these questions being asked. The grammatical use of "God" versus "god" is just one of those little things that I always feel compelled to talk about when I see it.
Anyway, back to the questions. I do believe in the Christian God. I was raised in a Christian life style. From all of my childhood, I can't remember a time when my family wasn't going to church. That has always stuck with me. I don't believe in other gods as real existing deities, though I do think it is possible that some (like those in the Greek myths) could have been inspired by real people in some manner.
Also, I don't think "...any gods" would do either, doesn't it not include the monotheistic God, seeing as it uses a small g?
That creation of the universe premise introduces an infinite regress of "who created the technology to create the universe?" "Well, who created the creator of the universe?" "Then who created the creator of the creator of the universe"..... etc. It doesn't work. You have to start with a base, that which exists. No one had to make the universe. It simply is.Divine Dragon wrote:I actually wanted to bring in something a friend of mine thinks..
He thinks that the entire Universe was created through extremely advanced technology.
*shrug* People can believe crazier things.
