Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Today I had a coupla guys come to my door and ask if I believed in God. (Im sure you have had the same at one time or another)

This thread may become fairly contriversial in its creation..... however I would seriously like to know where the majority stands ....

Its been often quoted that 95% of the poplulation believe in either God OR a higher presence of such ... and thus would like to put it to the test ....

Im simply taking a poll of the only forum I am a part of ...and believe it is a true cross-section of a "normal"" slice of humanity....

Why poll this???? .... Because Im curious ... is that ok?

...this has something to do with bike general discussion...???

Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance didnt either...


sorry Richo
wrong topic in the wrong place

i believe that ignorance is bliss

Ya only gotta take a walk through the kids ward at any hospital to realise there ain't no God................

That's my bit..........

When it can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt I still wont believe

He refs for qld

went to a catholic school and look how i turned out
in my honest opionion your better off believing in fate
i dont think theres any higher being and were all created from pot luck
hehe thats my 2 cents

Controversial topic indeed.
I'm not sure that I believe but by the same token I don't disbelieve. If it helps people to gain strength in they're own being and to bolster their confidence whether it be day to day or when in crisis then it can be a good thing for their psyche. It is when over enthusiastic zealots become overbearing that I turn off.
I voted yes after a long deliberation.

I dated a VERY devout 7 day adventurer a few years ago and prob the closest I ever came to "God".
Well after many 'religeous' sessions resulting in her making divine reverance , I quickly summised that she was neither "innocent" nor 'devout' and the whole 'flock' thing was little more than a bunch of scaredy pussy's who needed a sence of security / forgiveness for their often impure (maybe there is a God!?) thoughts.....

Well at least they have disproved some peoples belief that God was black...

He said you are what you are...if he was black he would have said you is what you is...

What was that one about the little kid who believed coz he saw Daddy wrestling to hold Mummy down coz she was calling out " Oh God , Im coming "

Might have been done for comedy, but everything he said was factual......................
(I have a 1978 vinyl record of George Carlin, indecent exposures, very funny )

I couldn't have put it better myself.
I was brought up anglican - so there's some things I'll never get rid of (the odd instinctive 'prayer'/'beg' once in a while).
But once I got out of home and saw what the real world was like I realised I didn't really think much of any organised religions. Some aren't bad, but most are all about control - which may have been slightly understandable when people weren't educated, but make little sense today.
I think there could be someone 'up there' - but if he/she/it is at all interested in us it's only at the macro level.
