Is god-belief beneficial?

[MisterVeritis]

Why? If the conditions exist to allow one god then the conditions exist for an infinite number of gods.

There’s only one god. These other gods you refer to are gods made up by man. They are myths or pagan idols.

Let us make man in our image. Hmmm. God made up other gods?

So if your god prevents a child from being brutalized, tortured, and murdered then I m a slave? Awesome.

I do have my answer. There is no benefit to god-beliefs.

God's presence has exactly the same benefit as his absence.

Sure, Kunta.

Hitler was not a Christian. I’m not sure where you got that idea.

As we see Anti Semitism rise around the world again, there is a movement to make Hitler a pretty good guy, I predict that you will see a rise in the deniers in the coming years, As the world moves toward repeating history

Look at how hard they work to try and cover up the socialist movement that brought him to power

I don't know if a photo of you able to do all the things that you can?

First how do you think the monsters of this world start? Why did the people not just stop them, violently if necessary, when they came knocking?

You offered an example of how monsters start. You implied you would kill me. I said I would stop you. Do you know what that means? It means I would use deadly force. And you might die.

So your logic that you have the power to stop someone that has set there mind to invading your space if you will is Silly to say the least.

When you come to steal expect a visit to the emergency room or morgue.

The proof of that is the murders, rapes, assaults, robberies and the entire list of crimes that will be committed today. Those people should have been able to prevent that right?

Yep.

What you can't argue is that the USA gave more freedoms to people than any other country in the world, and those laws and rights were based on the Christian God.

Random.

The desire to create a government whose goal was to help us protect our rights was based on many political authors in addition, perhaps, to lessons found in the Geneva Bible.

Governments cannot give rights or freedoms.

If those who do not believe in a higher power can't eliminate the fact that man has free will, they don't really have an argument.

They don't like to think that anyone can judge them and that the way they choose to live their lives might not be a wonderful as they think it is

[zelmo1234]

For me, my belief in God has done me good. I have had some real tuff surgeries and treatments, and don't know how I would have gotten through it with out my faith and prayer.

For those that believe, it is a feeling. like you can feel the presence of God in those times when you are crying out to him

Now to someone that does not believe, maybe they have another source of Comfort and peace but for me it is my faith in Jesus that pulls me through.

We have free will because we live.

No. God gave man the free will to believe, disbelieve or create pagan gods out of wood or stone.
