I believe that there is a God. There has to be a reason why we are living.
I do not believe there is a God. Existence doesn't appear to have any deeper meaning than what we give it.

Ya. I think there’s a God. There has to be a reason for life, without God there is no morality.
Obviously, you have never felt his presence.
The presence you do feel definitely isn't God.
From one who owes his life to a divine presence, I am here to tell you that there definitely is a God and He really does exist.
Just my not-so-humble opinion. B)
"God" is an abstract idea which does not exist in reality.
So, you want me to just take your word for it?
Considering how many different religions there are, it seems to me that even with God one couldn't prove what that morality would be.
So if I don't believe in God that must mean I work for Satan? It's almost like you've set it up so that you can assume that anyone who disagrees with you must by definition be a bad person.
No, I do not believe you are a bad person. Just a little misdirected maybe, but not a bad person at all.
I look at life a little different than you do. I know that there is a God. Does that make me a bad person?
Everything we do in life is our own choice – except when, where, and who we are born as. Who decides that? Not our parents. If everything is a matter of choice, there has to be someone or something to make that first decision, and it isn't us or our parents.
My answer to that question is "God makes that decision", what is your answer to that question?
No, not my word for it. I want you to find out for yourself.
Whose reality are you talking about.?
There is a reason that a belief in God is called "Faith", that means that there are some things in life that you just have to accept without concrete proof – like a parents love and caring for a child for instance, that child just accepts it on faith alone that his/her parents will be there to take care of things.
As an Objectivist I'd say I'd probably best be understood as being Pantheistic, specifically a Naturalistic Pantheist.

So then, by your own reference definition, you do believe that "God" exists.
Albeit to you "God" surrounds everything as the Universe as a whole and not as an unknown entity.
Yet, you still haven't answered the question.
I don't believe that everything is a matter of choice.
Yes. There is a God.
Just because you can't see something or have any concrete proof of it, does not make it not real.
I believe in wind and I can't see that. I can feel it.
I believe in heat and I can't see that. I can feel it.
I believe in God and can't see Him. But I can feel Him.
Very true. God is the source of all morality.
Existence has a deeper meaning then we will ever know. In some parallel universe Earth is still the Garden of Eden and Eve never gave into temptation. From there also started the infinite other worlds which has for what ever reason has you here in this one with me and you don't believe what I believe. I know this, you do believe in another universe.
I believe that some higher power created the universe. Whether it was some aliens or some guy in the clouds, there had to be a starting point for all this.
What makes you believe that Jeff Davis? It sounds cool and some people believe it for that very reason. However there is no proof for parallel universes and you cannot “feel” parallel universes, so how can you prove it?
Look at what you do each and every day – you make millions of choices, even when something confronts you that you did not plan for or expect, you choose how to handle or react to that.
Again, the only thing we do not have a say in is when, who, and where we are born.
If you believe that your birth was an accident, perhaps you need to ask your parents if they ever really wanted you or not. Don't get me wrong here, I know that sounded rather harsh and inhumane but that was not my intention. I happen to believe that our lives are not accidental.
So, in your own words, what is your belief as to the answer to that question?
Are you really insinuating that because my parents deciding when to screw affects my existence, that therefore there must be some all powerful being deciding what the weather is going to be like tomorrow? That's not a question it's a non-sequitur.
The best answer for this question is "I don't know." Anyone who says they know that their is a God is an idiot. No one knows and we never will until we die.
If there is a god, he's an evil basterd. Why else create a race of being who finds pleasure in killing each other?
