just wondered how many believe in god.i do not for many reasons the main ones being children harmed and born with health problems.more wars caused over religion than anything else in history.why did god want my left leg?if there was a god he or she would surely not let these things happen.though i do not knock anyone if you believe if thats what floats your boat.comments are welcome as is yes or no to the question.do you believe? |

I don't think many religious people would agree with swinging as it's contradictory to the Ten Commandments... therefore as only swingers are going to read this post, you're likely to get a biased response. |

Yes I do believe and have seen many prayers answered but have not gone to church now for about 6 months for various reasons.
Some questions can never be explained as to the why's, and I do struggle with that too, but have learnt to accept that things happen for a reason, some are not immediate as to why but having a faith and also hope helps me.
I know swinging is not acceptable but I don't feel guilty either. We are all sinners and I know that I will be in heaven one day, just that at this particular time in my life I am enjoying this lifestyle and will have to answer to God on judgement day as we all will have to. |

Im a selfish believer, i have never been to church unless its a wedding or i was up at midnight and attended midnight mass when i was a teenager with some friends on a military camp.
Since loosing my best friend Brett out in Helmand province i've become a selfish believer, i only talk to God when i want or need something, not on a daily basis. If i didn't believe to a certain extent then Brett wouldn't be in heaven along with any other people..
Things happen for a reason, its natures way. Least he has gained another angel xXx
btw, im not deeply religious in the slightest, just see it as a comfort that there is something after we all die. |

I believe in something, just not any organised religion's idea of a God.
Too many questions that cannot be answered to truly believe in one ideal of a God, too many questioned that cannot be answered to not believe in something. |

Im not a believer although religion interests me and I think that if something like that gives people comfort and and strength then its a good thing
I do believe that if I was in a situation where my life was flashing before my eyes I would likely be praying to every god going though

God is an astronaut.
They made us from mixing their genes and earth monkey genes.
That's why babies heads don't come out of vaginas too easily.
We didn't evolve we were engineered about 10,000 years ago.
True story, seriously!  |

No i dont believe in god. The way i lead my life does not follow what the bible says. I truelly believe that if your going to follow a religion then you should follow it and not adapt it to what suits you. Im many things but im not a hypocrit. Yes i have things i believe in and find comfort in that as one of my gentleman friends says my ideas are completely "crackpot" but its what im happy with, i dont chop and change my ideas to fit in with what im doing at the moment in time |

I was raised by strict, deeply religious parents. My early years were filled with fear of a benevolent God striking me down if I sinned. It goes some way to explain why I was a 20 year old virgin when I married! 
I don't think I believe in God, because the fear I had that made me such a good girl has long gone: if I thought there was a Heaven and Hell, with benevolent beings occupying both, the only thing I'd be doing on my knees is pray! |

"and i can have the argument about why good things happen to bad ppl if you really want,but ppl rarely actually want to debate
I’m willing to read what you have to say  "
People assume that God rewards vitue,like some great father Christmas with a list of the naughty and nice children.Therefore they claim it is unfair that bad things happen to good people.They think that either God doesnt care,is cruel,or can't exist cos he would sort the world out.But fairness has nothing to do with it.
Now as another poster put the fact is we are all sinners.There is no perfect person,and we all fall short of the standard,that is a consequence of the fall,or of being human to put it another way.
Christians are redemmed through Christs death on the cross,believing he sacrificed himself for our sins.Nothing we do or do not do affects the fact we are
a)loved enough that he died for us b)sinners who cannot redeem ourselves.
In a nut shell,we are not punished or rewarded for our behaviour.God is not santa,we all got the ultimate reward in Christ.
Now why does God allow bad things to happen to nice people.
I am afraid i can give no better answer than Job,a book of the OT worth reading for anyone interested in what is one of the most difficult debates for Christians.God has a plan,if you have faith you believe that as a loving God his plan is right.Sorry ,but faith is the answer.A bit of an ontological arguement i know,but as someone who has that faith,it is hard to explain why it works .But it does.Trusting in God brings contentment even when things are going badly.
Although as my Master has said,perhaps all Christians are just subs looking for the ultimate Dom |

IMO, religion serves two main purposes. Firstly, as a cover-up for human ignorance, ie "I don't know the answer, so I'll attribute it to/blame it on god. Secondly, as a means of population control, ie "If you do as we say, you'll be rewarded (heaven) if you don't, you'll be punished (hell). Many religious texts refer to the people as sheep led by a sheperd, which I believe is quite apt for those who have so little faith in themselves, they need to put their faith in someone or something imaginary. |

Amen to that!
It is really no different to the people on FAB! People who are into religion are looking for that sense of belonging, which churches pass out in bucket loads.. There is quite a large following on here who are here for the swinging, but also here because they like being members of the FAB club. People on the forums perhaps are a bit deeper in than that, perhaps they need to have that feeling of belonging?
Seeing how religion treats ordinary people in the name of religion, I wonder people haven't twigged it yet and burned officials at the stake!
My parents are Salvation Army Officers and if we mention that to people they always say something like they always support them cos they do such good work! In reality, they are like everyone else.. Those at the top are using the "Soldiers" to gain them more and more money.
In my mind, religion is a con and the general populace fell for it! |

"That should read SOME people assume"
Perhaps,but in the wdbthtgp debate their tend to be a set of common assumptions made by all wh are asking the question or they would not be asking the question.
Or to put it another way it is not a question atheists ask.
When framing the terms of any debate it is natural to try to work out the underlying assumptions people are coming to the table with.If you do not do that then their can be no common ground for debate.
It is not the same as saying "All women like big cocks" Which is a category error,and not a question for debate. |

"People assume that God rewards vitue
As an atheist I don’t assume anything
the fact is we are all sinners.
Who has the right to label anyone a sinner
And what’s your definition of a sinner "
See my previous answer,if you are an athiest then you just accept bad things happen to good people,there is no debate,so i do not need to try to work out the assumptions underlying your statement.
As for sin,sorry i did not realise you were perfect,well done.i didnt label anyone a sinner,we just are ,or as i said,we are all human,so falliable,weak and prone to make mistakes.
i have noticed that it tends to be non Christians who dislike being called imperfect,me i just accept it. |

Being falliable,weak and prone to make mistakes does not make someone a sinner its a learning curve. Commiting murder, rape or something bad is a sin and makes you a sinner. Just because people dont believe in god or the bible teachings doesnt mean they have know knowledge of the subject. We have all believed in fairy tales at some time in our lives.
But i will say, if someone finds comfort in whatever then it is a good thing for that person doesnt mean anyone else has to agree with them. As i said before some of my ideas have been considered crackpot but i dont put mine up for open debate |

True... And the more time I can spend on the learning curve (hopefully) the less mistakes I should make. I am a "practising" Christian...
None of which makes me better or worse then anyone else... IMHO |

How conceited it is of man to elevate himself to such a high position in the universe that of all the trillions and trillions of galaxies there are out there that this is the only ball of rock that has life on it, and that we, an insignificant frail little lifeform scratching around on the surface, are the top most animal living on it, which makes us the top most animal in the universe - and thus have a special place reserved in 'heaven'.

I can’t remember the name of the comedian but nevertheless here’s his take on religion...
When I was a kid a wanted a new bike, so on the lead up to Christmas I prayed and prayed for a new bike but Christmas came and went and I didn’t get one. Then it was the lead up to my birthday, I still wanted a new bike so I prayed and prayed for a new bike but alas I never got one!
Then I got this religion lark sussed out... I went and stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.
Sums up just about all religions, they demand impossible standards but then provide bucket loads of excuses. Then of course there are 100’s and 100’s of religions all insisting that theirs is the RIGHT one!

Firstly which God?
Secondly do you mean "God" or "god"?
Former is the religious old man with strokey beard sat above us. - in which case no.
Latter, the entity, force, whatever that created the universe and everything within? - yes we all most believe in that as we appear to be here having this conversation!
I've done a lot of science and it is truly fascinating what we have learned of the universe so far and how patterns spontaneously come together. Plus the universe is a fundamentally weird place (and I mean really weird, not like wearing stockings and high heels at the weekend weird!).
For instance a hologram is a 3D encoding on a 2D surface, which is what you see on your bank card for instance. So you could encode a 3 dimensional universe onto the 2 dimensional surface of a black hole (well it's event horizon, but just imagine the surface of a beach ball).
Now the Plank constant is the smallest size any particle can be (think of it as the pixels on a computer screen, the smallest dot you can have on your computer screen). An experiment designed to measure gravity waves detected a weird noise spike which was larger than this Plank constant. So what I hear you say, (and wake up at the back!), well the weird thing is if you took a sphere ~13 billion years in size (the age of the universe and the edge of the observable universe) and chopped its surface up into Plank size "pixels", the resulting 3D hologram would have a resolution around this noise spike amount, weird eh?! - look up Holographic universe theory.
Anyhow I'm personally agnostic which basically means I believe there is "something", but that something is probably beyond our comprehension and very unlikely to be as religious texts describe "God". After all humans are based on logic and patterns (even if women don't seem to, they do) so God either can make 2+2=5, in which case he is not logical, or he can only make 2+2=4 in which case he isn't "God". (read "Impossibility - The limits of science and the science of limits" for more on this!)
You have to remember religion was a fundamental requirement to get to society as we see it today. Imposing rule of law and civility and wot not require some form of common belief and buy in. It's also why in more religious societies not eating/drinking/doing certain things is more effective than secular societies because fear of prosecution from your peer is less worrying than from some supernatural being and loosing your sole. (That and chopping off extremities )
I did hear something interesting a long time ago, in that as soon as religion started to get written down instead of passed on by word of mouth it became "fixed", where as before it would evolve with changing beliefs and knowledge. This lead to a lot more issues and fracturing of religious cults/groups
End of the day, if "God" or "god" gets you through the day and makes you a better person, good for you. If it makes you hate and deride those that don't, tut-tut. Side note religious people who get rather defensive/aggressive when their "God" is questioned is more to do with a central pillar of their whole life been brought into question, so it's understandable.
Anyhow I'm agnostic, I have a religion and faith of one which is mine and it changes everyday when I learn something new.
Also The flying spaghetti monster is my fav "God"

In the eyes of God our creator, sin is sin whether its a white lie or murder, hard to swallow but it is.
We are all born into sin because of Adam who disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden.
I found this really hard to take in as a new christian many years ago and questioned thru an Alpha Course how is a newborn baby a sinner? what has that baby done?... nothing, but because we are descendents of Adam and Eve we are all born sinners. |

Remember that it is people like diamond who decide for themselves what sin is that paint it as meaning yu murder or lie.Sin is simply that which separated us from God.

I am not a creationist ,and as there are two creation stories in the bible i have never understood which version the every word is literal folk adhere to.To me they explain the human condition,the turning away from God of humanity and the struggle we all go through to put God before our own desires.(This has been the commonly held _iew by most main stream Christians for quite a long time.The Bible contains history,parable and poetry)
However the bible does say that cain and Able took heir wives from the other tribes aroundThe early writers in common with many primative(urgh i hate that word but my minds on strike)saw themselves as "man" and everyone else as other.This is why so many peoples names for themselves from the Aboriginals of Australia to the Inuit is simply"The people"

Actually the Adam and Eve bit is quite interesting. Short of it is they ate from the tree of knowledge (the apple), and for that kicked out of the garden of Eden for sin etc.
However before that Adam and Eve had no knowledge of sin, evil etc, so for them to comprehend their act they needed to eat the apple. So a catch 22, which is not very nice of God eh? Could have give them a phone a friend or a CTRL-Z option!
You can actually interpret the tree of knowledge and the apple as actually been free will, before that "God" decided everything, afterwards "God" cannot intervene and it is up to us.
The Catholic church have no problem with evolution and you could say we came from a common ancestor (Adam and Eve), but they where unlikely to be white European types as depicted [recent] in religious imagery.
When Jehovah Witnesses visit me and say "God" is going to come down from Heaven to save us etc I retort "So 'God' is a sadist then?".
They look a bit shocked and say what am I on about crazy guy, to which I say: "So 'God' is waiting for a bit more suffering to happen, another disaster etc before getting off his ass?"
I would like to point out to religious people who keep looking to this no-where-to-be-seen "God" for saviour to open your eyes and really look at "God".
"God" is:
*Caring
*Compassionate
*Comes to our aid in time of need
*Is with us always
*... etc [you get the picture]
So "God" is actually a synonym for "society" or "people".
In an earthquake, Tsunami or any disaster it is *people* who pull others out of rubble, it is *people* who patch you up in hospital, it is *people* who show you kindness and compassion, it is *people* who you will remember on your deathbed.
We, all of us, are de-facto "God". And yes that means all the fire and brimstone bad stuff out of the old testament too.

".... if there was a God there would not be half the pain and suffering in the world that there is today.
Perhaps if there wasnt a god, there would be twice as much pain and suffering...
Just a thought...
cant be any more pain and suffering in the world than there is today... Tell that to Sians parents, or the woman in hospital that has just lost a baby, the Japanese vitims of the earthquake, tsunami, nuclear disaster.... for example."
Its true, life is not fair sometimes and we get disillusioned when we find out yet again, that it is not. |

Phew, it's taken me ages to read all posts made since the wee hours of this morning.
I stand corrected on the Ten Commandments referring to adultery not swinging. I'm always happy to admit when I'm wrong, so I'll gladly hold my hands up on this one. |

"How conceited it is of man to elevate himself to such a high position in the universe that of all the trillions and trillions of galaxies there are out there that this is the only ball of rock that has life on it, and that we, an insignificant frail little lifeform scratching around on the surface, are the top most animal living on it, which makes us the top most animal in the universe - and thus have a special place reserved in 'heaven'.

Oh, I forgot to say... although I consider myself an atheist, I firmly believe that everyone has the right to believe whatever they want and I respect everyone's choice as to what to believe - including those whose opinions differ from mine. |

The earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster "could" have taken out the whole of Japan.... |

I think you will find dinosaurs didn't exist.
Anyone can dig up some old animal bones and arrange them creatively to form 'nightmarish giant monsters' Ooooohhhhh scaryyy!
Come on people get a life, you've been duped! |

I too respect others with their belief
but in saying that there are some comments been made that it is supposed to be okay to swing etc. there are many quotes in the bible
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
this one is a beaut
Proverbs chapter 23 (TEV)
27 Prostitutes and immoral women are a deadly trap. 28 They wait for you like robbers and cause many men to be unfaithful

"When I was much, much younger I used to go to an American church... proper Happy Clappers. I only got into it because I fancied the tits off the vicar's wife.  "
Love that!
I don't believe, it's so implausible and goes against what we know scientifically about the universe.
The way that most religion has been applied is also detrimental to the world, and it's amazing that we put up with it.
Happy to put non-religious on my Census this year, as it's about time the huge amount of public money that's given away as tax advantages to these groups would be far better spent on health treatments etc.
Religious groups have far too much pressure on our society, and the religious right, in the US, are just nut jobs |

First there was Plasticine and then Play Doe but even before that there was 'Dino-Lego' of course millions of years ago people were much bigger, heres a picture of one I dug up earlier http://www.hows.org.uk/personal/hillfigs/mirror/cerne.htm Some of the old dino-lego can still be found and is displayed in places like the Natural History Museum |
