Edit: I'm thinking I don't want to hijack someone elses question and God is too specific.  Instead, I'll start a new question, "Should I be religious?"


April Fools

Oddly enough, I recieved my Hunch account confirmation shortly after making that post.  I've created a Should I quit smoking Hunch.  Now I'm going to see about fixing the Should I believe in God Hunch that someone else already started and which needs work.

Here's what they've got so far.  You input?

Do you think that life and beauty could emerge on their own?

Yes
No

Where do moral rights and wrongs come from?

From the majority of people in a society
From something bigger than me
From an evolved mental construction that benefits the survival of the species

How do you feel about the Bible?

I believe it is the absolute word of God
I think it's a revelation about God, but I don't take everything in it as literal fact
I see it as a historical record of ancient beliefs and mythology
I've never read the Bible or don't have an opinion

Conclusions:

No - I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. (Albert Einstein, 1954)

Yes - Good news! You're not alone.

Revelation 1:8, 17-18 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ...

Hilarious. I answered it as I would have back when I smoked, and got 61% - Might as well keep smoking

The truth is you are going to die whether or not you smoke. If smoking makes you happy, and not smoking makes you unhappy, then it is that simple.


It's a myopic answer. It doesn't factor in the medium and long term benefits of quitting, based on which I'd go about 95% for quitting.
