God/Religion. Why?

[sayian]

I have had a question digging in the back of my head since the day I mutilated my old work ute into a tree at 100km/h.

How do you differentiate between a god and fate or luck.

I myself believe that it was luck that I was able to steer the vehicle as well as I did considering the fact that I think I closed my eyes just before I hit it.

But other people would take it that god had saved them that day.

Interesting to know that my great grandmother on my wifes side of the family especially blessed our family in her prayers that night/morning.

Taking this into to account I still don't believe in a god and I don't have a religious faith. When you think about it I take it to be a naive approach to life and I don't mean any disrespect by this comment, but when you look at ancient history and see what the people of old believed in and that each country and race of people had many and different gods because the were naive they had nothing else to believe in they had no way of explaining how things happened.
What I believe was that religion and gods were created to rally people to follow one person for example many leadership figures also claimed to be prophets and or channels of gods.



On another note
Having faith in a religion or being religious doesn't provide that person good moral values, the person themselves is the only person that has control over that, religion may teach their values and morals but it is within the person to execute those teachings. Not only that but it also comes down to how a person was raised by their parents, 100% of how we raise our children is embedded into our brains on how we were raised by our parents.
We are not born with the ability to be perfect parents as soon as we come out of the womb.
So it is up to the individual to either pass the moral values that they were taught or to correct what their parents have instilled upon them as long as you can pull yourself up on these things.

Sure u can look the words "luck" or "fate" in the dictionary but God is in our essence. The difference is u don't need to look God up or do research. We as human have faults which includes mistranslation of communication through time.. but the ONLY thing GOD wrote Himself and would not entrust in man to document on is the Ten Commandments. and all 10 of them are in us.

Yea, argue about the bible and fight over what the bible translates into or that it contradicts itself all you want because its not entirely about the bible. Argue about religion this or that all you want because its not about religion. Sound very smart and well thought out if u can, but u cant argue what God wrote Himself in our essence.. No1 cheats on their spouse without knowing they're sinning. No1 commits murder without knowing they're sinning. No1 uses Gods name in vein without feeling any amount of fear. Give me an example of a perfect lie.. u cant.. No1 steals without trying to be sneaky.. and so on.

We all know whats wrong, and just as well, we all know whats right... <- you're not gonna find that in the dictionary and u don't even need a bible to know that.

personally, i don't believe there's a single man on earth who genuinely doesn't believe in God. its impossible. they just embrace their sins a little too much and try to come up with excuses to justify their illegitimate denial of believing in Gods existence to make themselves feel less bad about sinning. they'll be trying until they're dead because its in our essence to know and feel bad for disobeying..

So for the ones who act like they don't know... Y'all know! For every argument we can come up with, point you prove, or religion you dont support or understand... We dont need any of that.. Gods word is in us already, and He wants us to apply it.
