How did the concept (or idea) of God change your life?

I don't. Because religion is made by greedy and insane man who thinks GOD favors them. All the ritualistic stuff is such a non sense. Why should I follow such religions when GOD knows already who you are? Besides every religion has his own gods. Why not go directly to GOD yourself? Why do you need to have a priest to tell you that there is a GOD when you know there is someone who creates all the living things and that is GOD. that's just my opinion, I may be wrong.

how did you get to know or learn about God?

Well, I think it's instinct or faith that I know there is GOD because up until now no one has the answer to where did all things come from or when did existence first begins. They may have theories but that's all theories no factual evidence. Until then I just have faith that GOD exist unless they can prove otherwise or unless they can answer the lifes greatest mysteries. Again, that's my only opinion and I might be wrong.

The concept of GOD changed my life when I stopped believing about what GOD is most esp. in the minds of men...a bearded guy up there looking at you and ready to throw you to hell because you deserve it where the gnashing of teeth never ends.

what if you don't have teeth? Never mind.

That we are divine beings.

People should know there is a GOD, but what all religion says are false. Because religion is made by man to control behavior and to enriched themselves. GOD exist but all the religion and ritualistic stuff are false. And no one has ever seen GOD, so the images of GOD are only created by the imaginations of man. I think GOD changed my views of religion and that's my opinion.

Because religion is made by man to control behavior
--- Laws of the land dictate the same thing.. created by men, for common interest.
--- dictators do it, but not in gods name, its thier name.
--- if you think everything is false because created by men, then what is your reality? hmmm. interesting thought u got there...

ON TOPIC:

Regardless whether god is real or not. WE ARE IN BIG BIG TROUBLE.
1. If God is Real, We are in Big Trouble, we have rules/laws to follow.
2. If God is false, We are in Big Big Trouble, imagine we are moving at celestial speed in the universe, and nobody is in-charge? nobody is driving? hmmmm

Yes it does, that is why in the Philippines religion can not separate from Church. If you know what I mean. Priest, pastors, etc. run for the government. And when you swear in the court you use the bible to swear to GOD and still the lawyers defend the criminals.

--- dictators do it, but not in gods name, its thier name.
Yes, I agree that is why some of them are branded sent by the devil, anti christ etc.

I don't say everything is false, I say every religion is false, because how come you say that your religion is from GOD while in fact nobody sees GOD and religion is only created by men so there must be a catch. And my reality is I believe there is a GOD but to communicate to Him you don't need a third party like a religion.

Regardless whether god is real or not. WE ARE IN BIG BIG TROUBLE.
---I agree, because everything has a beginning and an end. Balance of nature, one does not exist without the other just like good and evil, light and dark, but still END is inevitable. Well this is only my opinion and I might be wrong.

Like the laws of the land the laws of GOD is a deterrence for someone in doing untoward deeds. incarceration or death penalty is there as punishments for trespassing the laws of the land whilst damnation to hell is being imposed to the believers who would violate.
The same intensity of anxieties for those who are very weak enough in upholding what is just.But what makes adherence with GOD more pleasing is it's teaching of love and humility two of the best ingredient in having a better world to live with.

I dont personally believe in god. But the concept of it made me a better person.

i see.. thanks for your answers..

so my follow-up question would be, do other animals other than humans, if they evolved further, will they be able to think that there is also God?
