Okay, so, I recently posted a topic about Bigfoot and it went COMPLETELY off topic and onto Christianity and God (BTW I am a Christian) It got me thinking though... How did God get here? I mean we didn't just show up out of nothingness... God put us here right? Anyways I would really like to hear your thoughts about this subject...
Well, it's too complicated to put into one post, but basically a bunch of old ****s got together to make up a ******** story on how some weird, old bearded guy created the world. They then used this fairy tale to control the populace, telling them they'd go to hell if they even questioned this god's existence, no matter how little sense it made.
Basically, he never showed up at all, because he doesn't exist.
EDIT: I might sound harsh, but that's what happens when you negate non-believers and ask them to not even come into the thread.

I understand how he is hard to believe but then, how did we get here? None of it makes much sense to me.

SOME THINGS YOU WON'T EVER HAVE THE ANSWER TO. NOT KNOWING IS BETTER THAN MAKING UP STUPID EXPLANATIONS THAT CAN'T HOLD WATER TO EVEN ELEMENTARY LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING.

Powers are for the weak. I have no powers. I mean - unless you count the power to blow minds with my weapons-grade philosophical insights. I'm a thought-o-coaster, I'm the conundrummer in a band called Life Puzzler.
How was all matter put into the Big Bang? Are there multiple universes? What are emotions? Are there alternate timelines existing around every sort of random scenario that happened another way?
These are unanswerable questions just as we cannot answer how God was created or explain how he has existed. Instead we must rely on faith just to believe that he just is, instead of questioning him. The same faith that lets us see that he exists in the first place.
Making a topic that specifically bars certain groups is kinda mean. It's also very inviting for trolls.

I wasn't trying to be mean I just knew that people that don't believe in God really shouldn't come here for obvious reasons... Well, I guess it was kind of stupid of me to put "If your'e not Christian then don't even come" Because obviously they will just to be ass holes and get mad at me...
God is outside of time, He has always existed. He was never "created" or "born".
HOW CONVENIENT

God was born in a normal world much like this one. He did normal things, and said normal things, much like we do. He did so until he grew to be nine tens, and it was then he discovered something purely magical. He sat up in his bed one night, and he stared into nothing. But a thought came to his aged mind. "I don't feel like dying. I want to rule the world!" he thought. So he stood up, walked to a very isolated land, and found a red button.
Now, this was no ordinary button. It was a button that was rumored to have magical powers, and if you pressed it, you would become a king! God decided he would press the button out of pure curiosity. He stuck out his finger and reached for the button. Slowly, ever so slowly. He paused a moment to think. "Are there any consequences?" he thought. "Ah, **** it," he thought, "what's the worst that could happen?". With a smooth gesture he pressed the button with a large smile on his face.
Suddenly, he felt like he woke up. As if he had previously been comatose. He looked around. He saw nothing. Nothing at all. He let out a timid "Hello?" and searched for some form of life. Assuming he was stuck there, he pleaded. "Help! I need help! Please!". As fast as a speeding bullet from a gun, information entered his head. He somehow knew that what lie in front of him was a blank slate.
After thousands of creations, and no satisfaction, he looked to his left. He spotted an emptiness, and he decided he would create the best damn world in... well, all existence really. So he begun with a powerful "Let there be light!". And there was. And he saw that it was good. So he rested for the day.
Once he awoke, he created more things. After he created more things, he rested. He did this for four more days. On the seventh day, he looked to his creation, and saw that it was good. So he took the day off.

On a planet full of life, there was a man. He looked around, and saw he was in a garden. He got up, and wandered around. He was happy with what he had. And he saw that this was good.
In my opinion, keep your beliefs to yourself, no matter who it is.

Im curious and I dont know who to ask so why not random people That I more than likely will never have to deal with again?

Now, would you like me to go over what Religion believes? I assure it makes much less sense.
Trolling is all good and well, but that's a gross misrepresentation of The Big Bang Theory, Abiogenesis and Evolution.

You do realize that The Big Bang Theory doesn't make provisions for the existence of time before its happening, right?
