Theists, do you all have a slight doubt about god?

Question

A while ago I asked how sure theists were about gods existence, most of the answers said 100%

This is a line taken from a recent Christian answer to a question
"After all, no matter what we believe, we all doubt God somewhere in our hearts."

So if you're a theist i'm wondering where you stand, are you 100% certain god exists or do you have doubts? Even very small doubts count as doubt.


A question for any atheists reading, do you have any doubt about your position on god? (pick any definition of god you want, I don't personally have one and there are too many to list)

Answer 1

I'm not an anti-theist ... I'm an atheist.



What that means in my context, is that I am open to the idea, but find the concept unconvincing. If I am expected to believe in an invisible, all knowing, all powerful, supernatural creator god that refuses to reveal itself spoke everything into existence using magic ... I'm going to need ALOT more than "you just gotta have faith" to convince me of such an extraordinary claim.



I am open to all evidence, but most dogma says god is not going to provide any. That being said, nothing about the claim is convincing in any way, and all 3,000 claims of god throughout recorded history have the same merit ... none. I have no control over that. If I did, I'd just pick and choose things to be convinced about out of mere convenience, but I don't, so I can't.

Answer 2

100% sure of his existence.

Answer 3

Good question. Yet remember that we as Christians have a duality that we burdened with. The flesh is weak but the Spirit strong. The flesh is a liar and a deceiver and is lazy.

The Spirit never doubts, the flesh always doubts and both are with us all of the time;



Romans 7

(Paul speaking)

For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.



21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!





God bless you,

Answer 4

If this is a board game, I have not put my piece down on the GO square. That's my atheist position.



Also, there was some confusion yesterday about "blindness" versus "knowing". If you have faith and are required to and proud to have faith, then you are blind. It's willful blindness that you have because you have faith in the being you've put belief in is there to lead you.



Once you start delving into the world of proving your claims and trying to demolish why anyone doesn't believe, you've left the world of faith and are trying to open your eyes and make your leader to be seen, to remove faith from others.



Just putting that out there.

Answer 5

Everyone has doubts about God. It is inevitable. If Jesus' disciples had doubts, then the rest of us are destined to as well. Personally, I can not determine my own doubt for myself, but even with doubt I give my best effort. I have my own reasons for believing, as do many atheists have many reasons for not believing.

Answer 6

i believe 100%

Answer 7

I have no doubt on my position.

Answer 8

They are not allowed to!
