    I find the problem with people saying that they do or do not believe in God don't really say what they think God is or isn't

    Example 1: do you believe in a bearded omnipotent and omnipresent creator who watches down on us from above?
    In this case, I'd be a 6.

    Example 2: do you beleive in a collective emotional energy that supports us and is supported by us and our emotions?
    In this case, I'd be a 2
    Well in this case I'm referring to the Judeo-Christian God as this generally is what people think of when asked about God, in Ireland anyway!

    Of all of my friends, I'd say that I'm the last to be considerered "religious". But, I am quietly confident that God is up there and the afterlife is just waiting for me to join it. It's the strangest thing - I'm very skeptical about most things, but I feel very sure about this. I'm very lucky!

    There is a God and we are presently part and parcel of that before and after life

    the question is where did that life that infuses our bodies much like electricity infuses a light bulb come from?

    But is everyone else who voted in the poll?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    "simple as" what? Is that your version of QED.Your statement is merely that, and nothing more.It's completely invalid.

    I choose not to believe it.................. so where is this god.Try and offer something useful would ya.Or if you're taking the piss throw in a wink emoticon or something.

    There are people out there who make statements as unintelligent as that, who actually think they are being serious.

    I think it's safe to assume that people know what I meant by 'God' in the OP and voted accordingly.

    Still not really answering the question, unless you're saying that you belive that something created us (which is obvious, really)

    Finally, some tangibility.Ok fella.You actually at least brought up physical evidence for your claim.That puts you ahead of all the other pro goddies.Plus there is evidence of a miracle in how he turned a joke like Man U into the powerhouse it is today.

    I still don't think he's god.But he's the top contender so far.



    Maybe BOD is God.That'd be flippin deadly wouldn't it Fiachra?

    What about David Blane

    Or Jessica Alba?

    I think the census is fairly straightforward, only the title is a little confusing as it says Religion rather than Belief.

    I remember starting threads with polls and had posters looking for this.

    The OP provided lots of options and a detailed poll, very good effort

    Enough with this stupid and unwritten internet rule about atari jaguar on polls.

    Is there really a teapot orbiting Saturn?

    (a) Do you believe for certain that there isn't a teapot orbiting Saturn?

    (b) Are you unsure if there is a teapot orbiting Saturn and thus hold an agnostic stance to the existence of the teapot orbiting Saturn?

    Or, (c) Do you believe for certain that there is a teapot orbiting Saturn?

    Note: All does who do not believe in the existence of a teapot orbiting Saturn or are unsure will be placed in a boiling hot pot of tea for eternity and their pain will increase exponentially forever.

    Did you ever consider that the concept of creation might actuall be a bi-product of your mind's inability to conceptualise or understand a more complex process.

    ie. something exists therefore something more complex must have created it.

    according to such logic you would next ask "who created god" to which the answer is "he was always just there" or some other cop out.

    If he can just have "always been there" why does it require a creative process for anything else to exist?

    Or, d) To two decimal points; do you believe the chances of teapot orbiting Saturn are to closer to 1 or zero in terms of probability; 1 being a certain event and zero an impossible event.

    Who created the 'thing' that created the universe?
    And who created the 'thing' that created the 'thing' that created the universe?
    In the end, to assume that some 'thing' created the universe from nothing is just as foolish as claiming the universe came from nothing by itself.

    Cause he's God and all those other things are not; He makes all that other stuff.
