Do you believe in god?

I do, and right now I am going to pray that he takes your bot program away from you.

god = no, God = Yes

of course.

but that's a pretty broad question.

I mean, do I believe that Jesus is the son of God and died on the cross for me?

Or is my belief in God completely non Abrahamic?

At this point no, but that's not to say that I'm right.

Agnostic.

I will if you don't mind. Just keep in mind, I'm not a fanatic, but........
In 1984 my father had heart surgery and had very bad lungs to boot. He came out of surgery, that aspect went well, but his one lung collapsed and he was have troubles with both lungs.

After 9 days on the respirator, while conscious but getting frustrated because he couldn't talk, he had to write everything on paper, plus he couldn't eat or drink anything with the dang huge tube down his throat.

I figured what the heck and went into the chapel in the hospital that evening before leaving for the night, and asked God to please give my dad the strength to breathe on his own again without the aid of all the machinery.

The next morning I slept in some, and my mother called from the hospital (intensive care unit) where dad had been for what seemed like forever, she said- Quick, you have to come down here, your dad is seating in a chair eating jello and drinking juice, he came off the respirator this morning !!!!!

I don't know if it was the actual prayer that helped, but I'm thinking it didnt hurt anyways. I'm not sure if that is a definition of a miracle to you, but when it involved someone so near and dear to my heart, it was a miracle to me !!!!

Please forgive me, I put the wrong date on the post, I fixed it, it was 1984 oops.

And he passed away in 1992 when he had an aortic aneurism he had burst, he didnt even know he had it. He always said he wanted to go quick and he did, which helped me cope with it alot.

The original surgery in 1984 was for the same thing that was discovered before it burst, so he got 8 more years anyways. So it was 8 more years of memories, wish he would have seen me get married and have two more kiddos, but for some reason, I think he knows.

IMO, it takes more "blind faith" NOT to believe in God.

I am a believer. I've seen God work and there's no other peace such as the peace that comes from Him.

Nice bot question Sim.
