[QUOTE="Atheist, post: 122626, member: 10421"] Dear Tejwant Singh Ji, No, I didn't already have all the answers I was looking for - that is why I asked them in the first place. I was only giving you EXAMPLES of what one might have said - and Lee answered. Again, all I was looking for is WHY you believe in god and WHAT KIND of god - for my own curiosity. Just like me saying "what's your favorite pizza topping?" (mine is mushrooms). I did not get mad that the rest of you had different answers - I was just saying that no one except Lee answered my original question of curiosity. It'd be like you asking someone what their favorite pizza topping was and they delved into a lengthy discussion about the history of pizza, how it's made, what defines it, etc. when indeed you were looking for "mushrooms, because they taste good cooked." I wasn't upset - I already know you have different viewpoints (you believe in god and I don't - it's not a surprise we have different viewpoints). So again - I DID NOT already have the answers - those were just examples of what one MIGHT have said...but since they were only examples, I wanted to see what YOU and people here said, because I was curious how a devout Sikh would answer that question (so far, I had only asked christians/catholics/mormons). So I don't think I really proved your point. Yes of course disagreements are part of the learning process - but we haven't delved into my original question! WHY do you believe in god, and WHAT KIND of god do you believe in. Of course I know we're going to disagree - but I don't know what your position is yet! You have to tell me first. So I didn't get disappointed that you did not respond the way I expected you to, just curious as to why everyone just avoided the original question. I am not confused about the definition of god. God does not exist. I am not confused about something that does not exist. But I am curious to know why you believe what you believe (and what it is that you believe). I fully understand that different people have different definitions of god (Have you read nothing I've written?) Personal god, hands-on god, hands-off god, pantheistic god, combo of the above - yes I know what these mean, my question was simply which one do YOU believe and WHY? I mean it's a pretty simple question. It is unbelievable that you said I "fail to realise that he/she/it may mean different things/entities/deities to different people." Of course I understand that! Why else would I have asked "WHAT KIND of god do you believe in?" I mean how much clearer can I be, when I asked you what kind of god do you believe in, doesn't that mean that there is more than one kind of god people believe in? If you asked me what is my favorite pizza topping, doesn't that mean that there is more than one pizza topping? Otherwise why ask??
