Not that I trust a word of it.

cookielove · 11/02/2012 00:39

NO

My 3 year old was debating this at her daycare today apparently.
Her friend said "God isn't real" but she didn't listen and told him "Yes he is, yes he is, yes he is", or so she says.

(If you're asking me, I am on the side of "no, he does not exist" )

pictish · 11/02/2012 00:44

Yes, I too agree with Mushroom on that there thread.

AgentProvocateur · 11/02/2012 00:45

No. Don't be ridiculous.

QuietOhSoQuiet · 11/02/2012 00:48

yes

but I am a spiritualist so also believe in spirit and angels

edam · 11/02/2012 00:50

Probably no. (Can you tell I was brought up CofE?)

pjmama · 11/02/2012 00:52

According to DS God "lives in our hearts and is always right next to us". Apparently I keep sitting on him.

Eclairwaldorf · 11/02/2012 00:52

Yabu to ask this question on a Friday night Grin

ChishAndFips · 11/02/2012 00:56

No, of course not.

MissAnnersley · 11/02/2012 01:03

Yes

FreudianSlipper · 11/02/2012 01:09

NO

Pornyissue · 11/02/2012 02:42

To me, yes

pooter · 11/02/2012 03:03

Nope

izzyizin · 11/02/2012 03:13

YAVBU to pose a question to which there can be no definitive answer and, furthermore, YABVVU to veto any debate about possible answers.

cheekyseamonkey · 11/02/2012 08:06

No

troisgarcons · 11/02/2012 08:10

yes

startwig1982 · 11/02/2012 08:10

Yes of course!

ginmakesitallok · 11/02/2012 08:10

No. Surely there IS a definitive answer - it either does or doesn't exist, it's just that we have no way of proving a negative therefore the definitive answer can't be proven?

seeker · 11/02/2012 08:12

No

LaurieFairyCake · 11/02/2012 08:14

God=good

Do you see good in the world? Then you see God.

Not some bearded guy but the 'spiritual life force' mentioned. That we are all part of - some call it universal consciousness.

seeker · 11/02/2012 08:16

No I don't, Laurie. I see good in the world. I do not see God.

LaurieFairyCake · 11/02/2012 08:28

Do you also not see 'spiritual life force' or 'universal consciousness' seeker?

NotMyBigFatFault · 11/02/2012 08:29

Probably not, and certainly not as depicted in the bible, the torah, the quoran, etc etc. If there is one, we are probably not supposed to really "know" the details.

seeker · 11/02/2012 08:39

Nope, Laurie. I see the glories of nature and the amazingness of humanity. I don't credit God with the good bits, or the Devil with the bad bits. Evolution produced the glory of the natural world and people did the good and bad things people do.
