Do you believe in God? If so why and if not so also why?

Nope, I don't !

I was raised in a religious family, but became rationalist when I grew up and I have never seen the need to believe in God.

So, my postion is not one of ignorance or family tradition.

I am tolerant of other people's beliefs, as long as they don't try to convince me!

I belive in a life after death, aftertime. I don't think the death is the end, and nothing begins. So there is somebody in charge - God :)

I don't believe in any of that stuff, not sure if I want to elaborate too deeply - maybe later :D


Even though I find religion nonsense, I don't mean that in a disrespectful way and I feel everyone should be able to believe what they want and have no problems in general :) -- in fact, with a lot of people religion and believing makes them a better or a stronger person - in those cases you have to respect it :)

Those who don't believe in God please answer my simple question, What is Death?

That's very simple. The moment life ends. You stop breathing because your heart (and brains) stop and it's over.

Or, by definition - Death is the permanent termination of the biological functions that define a living organism.

I did not ask for that why people die where do they go after death what happens, If there is no power as God or some strength like that why can;t we humans control death?

for me nothing happens. It's like when you sleep - are you fully aware of what happens when you are asleep? That's to me what happens when/after you die. It's not exactly sleeping, it's not exactly comatose - but there's just nothing left that works anymore. Then your body decomposes (along with the brain = mind) until only bones are left.

If we could control death, maybe we'd be "God"

So you agree that there is a power which is not in our reach and that is normally we call as GOD

is that to me?

no, I don't. Not at all.

To me "God" is a figment of our imagination, a logic ot accept such things like our fears and the things that we cannot explain.

To play Devil's Advocate in this one though... no, I can't prove it - no one can - or we wouldn't be having this debate ;-) To be honest, I don't think it will ever be solved.
