Oops, I voted I do believe in the existance. Oh well. My real answer is:
No. There is no god. Never was, never will be, it's a hoax and I am suprised people still have faith. But then again, it is human nature to want more. And believing in Heaven is wanting more. Even believing in Hell is wanting more of something (Wanting your nemesis to burn in Hell for treating you like shit for a long time or whatever). The average Humans believe or want to believe that there is a Heaven, because this place is where only good people go and it is full of everything that is entertaining, pleasant, amazing, comforting, perfect, etc.
Even I wish for a Heaven. But then again, I don't because I'd end up going to Hell simply for saying this lol.
I believe that when you die, it's kind of like being unconscious or asleep, but you're not dreaming. And in a way, you are aware of it, but really don't. It is very difficult to explain how I believe it is. It is sometimes scary to think about to be honest.
One of the things that makes believing in Hell and Heaven is the fact that if you disobey even just one law(Rule/Commandment) of God and do not confess to a Priest or some holy official, you will go to Hell when you die; and when you're in Hell, you will burn, scream, cry, choke on smoke in anguish, and experience harsh, unexplainable pain for all eternity... but he loves you!
Also, the bible says that God is the "All Merciful", yet at the same time he will not forgive even your worst Sins. This kind of condrigates what the whole merciful thing is about.
Religion is an opinion of belief really. Some believe it. Others don't. It is unproven and never will be. The day a guy in a white cloak and beard, hovers down from the sky in a ray of light down into a church, is the day I will believe. Until then, I am an infedel. A non-believer.
The funny part is that many people get offended when people try to explain why they don't believe and express how they feel about the issue. Is it so bad to side against something that has caused pointless wars for thousands of years? Wars over religion have been going on and off ever since the Greeks were around. Possibly before that time. In fact, we're still fighting over religions in a way between Christianity and Muslims in the Middle East. Can't we just drop the bullshit and move on?
People say that Jerusalem is sacred. A man-made place, mind you. Similar to religion. It's all man-made. I understand that Jerusalem is supposed to be holy because of Jesus being born there or whatever and then other religions find it holy for other reasons that I really don't care about, but honestly, doesn't it annoy you that people get so technical with religion? Blaming things like 9/11 and Sadam Hussein's insanity on religion is a discrace and very dishonorable to those who actually had suffered though the events. It's disrespectful in my own humble opinion. Coming up with facts, instead of saying that it's the enemy's God's fault or their belief in another God, is a lot more meaningful and believeable.
I'd love to go on with this, but there is truely so many ways that I can explain how I feel about religion and the existance of God, besides the few facts that I can't see him execpt maybe in paintings, the fact that I can't hear him or be controlled by him(Unless if I'm crazy), and that I can't find any real scientific evidence that the universe was created by him. To be honest, I choose the "A mixture of gases created mass and so on which formed the universe and eventually created planets, stars, etc. within." theory.
