   Why do you have to be called something?

   I think they’re called agnostics.

   Anyway, you might find this of some benefit as to who the real God is;

   the agnostic might not be sure of God due to a variety of reasons, one of the biggest reasons is because there are so much different explanations given to who God really is. So who are they supposed to believe?

   Keep in mind this powerful point – that God is Perfect, whether people claim this perfection is subjective (questionable) or not, it is part of human nature [fitrah] and even logic to accept that God = Perfect. This is why many feel embarrassed or humiliated when their ‘gods’ are abused or dispraised.

   Many people believe that perfection implies that this being is not dependent upon no other, Hindus believe God is created by an energy [om] – therefore dependent upon it, Christians believe a part of God was born (no matter what their explanation of the trinity, that’s what it implies – Jesus being born from a human mother – so they also believe God is human – similar to His creation – therefore is flawed, other religions believe that God has partners or equals – yet for one to be perfect, they cannot have someone who is competing with them in this perfection, because uniqueness is perfection (competing Gods would mean that God is unable to do certain things due to overpowerment by other gods.) Other religions believe that God does not have any attributes, so He is not aware of His creation – nor can He see or hear them etc. they say this because they believe He is ‘similar to His creation’ – what they don’t know is that humans are limited in certain attributes [i.e. seeing, hearing, but God has Perfect attributes - so He is not similar to His creation in these attributes but He is Perfect in His ability to hear, see etc.] Others go to the other extreme of saying that God is in fact the same as humans, or even incarnate. Others believe that everything is God [pantheism], this is rejected because humans do evil – God is not a part of evil.

   The above points summarize a great deal of the different religions in the world, and Islam provides a clear and fine distinction for us to understand the truth about who God really is – free from any flaws and imperfection (which are seen in His Names & Attributes). Which allows me to accept the Islamic God over other ‘gods’, which are imperfect.

   The person is likely to incline towards this understanding more than the ‘gods’ mentioned in the above description. They may still be slightly doubtful as to whether this truly is the correct description of the true God. All you have to tell them is that this convinced you and that it may even convince them due to its simplicity and clarity.

   Probably some of the nicest, friendliest and most loving people you will ever meet

   Deist

10. HarleysDad on February 28th, 2009 10:23 am

    Deist or PanDiest(more than one God)
    You need more definition to denominate.

    You are like me but I don’t see why people must belong to a religion. Religion doesn’t do much good.

12. kristinmay on March 3rd, 2009 10:56 am

    You are human, same as me. Same as the one who calls himself christian, buddhist, hindu…

    You are a unique spirit.

    Don’t try to put a label on yourself.

    Just live your life the best you can.

    And when the question crosses your mind again, answer it with a loud, “I AM MYSELF”

    Spiritual, but not religious

    Agnostics…but don’t get caught up in having a title.

    Just because you don’t have a name for your belief, doesn’t mean it can’t be right. God is perfect and he loves everyone…no matter what their title.

    I personally belief that most religions are tied together in some way. History and evil doer’s that tried to hide the truth over thousands of years have made things confusing for everyone, which resulted in people getting bits and pieces of the truth and some non-truths.

    Underneath all of the stories lies the real truth. We may never know the truth until we meet God himself. However I know as long as we love him and try our best to please him..he will love us too and welcome us home when the time comes.

    God is a creation of man. This was done by a group of people to dominate others. Over the years we have been brainwashed in to believing in the existence of God, heaven & hell. Believe me, there is no such thing
    Your action is God. Religion is another type rules and regulation for a peaceful cohabitation and healthy life. While on the subject let me tell you, heaven and hell are the result of your action. This action may be today and the result after a day.
