Beliefs, Claims & Opinions:
00:49 | God is much more powerful than the God(s) of religion.
03:05 | I don't believe in the concept of religion due to their contradictory nature.
04:12 | Religion doesn't make sense. The Adam and Eve story, for example, brings a lot of questions to mind.
06:02 | The Bible stories are unreliable because they were written so long after the original events.
09:51 | I'm a child of belief.
11:05 | You can believe in something that may be true for you, but in reality, may not be true.
14:48 | God is beautiful. I have to be good because god gave me a chance to be here. Regardless of religion.
15:38 | Someone can be good without a god.
Confidence Level:
02:47 | I believe in my heart. It's my belief.
12:44 | I'm not sure it's true.
Reasons for Belief:
01:05 | Scientists are continuously revealing evidence of planets like ours, proving the power of god.
07:24 | Beautiful things are evidence of god. I attribute whatever I see as beautiful to god and what's ugly to man.
08:33 | Everything science reveals about how the world works is evidence of the god.
09:13 | It's just a belief. There's only two ways the world came to be. Science's "doctrine" says that it came to be by accident. I believe it came to be by a creator.
10:13 | I have no proof.
10:20 | I like logic. Anything that makes sense to me, I'll accept. Anything that doesn't, I won't accept.
11:52 | My proof is the beauty of creation.
12:20 | I do not want to accept the scientific explanation of how the world came to be. I want to believe god did it.
13:48 | God's existence can be justified because I have life.
14:10 | I attributes all of these (positive) things in life to god. That I'm not an accident.
16:20 | I was brainwashed as a child. It's difficult to deny.
16:52 | I cannot deny it.
Questions:
07:18 | Is there any reliable way to know if the god you believe in is true?
09:04 | Is there anything you could find out to change your confidence?
10:16 | Do you want to believe in things that are true?
10:52 | Is just believing something is true a reliable way to know if it's true?
12:07 | Is it possible this world could have been created without a god?
12:25 | Does the preference one has for a belief matter about the truth of it?
13:25 | Just because something makes sense to you, does that make it true?
13:38 | Is there any way to be more justified in the belief?
14:21 | How do you know your attributions are correct?
14:43 | What's this belief doing for you?
15:32 | Is there any way to be good without a god?
16:08 | If it's possible to be good without a god, why believe?
