Hi every body!!!

For my, God is the most important in my life, because God give me all that I need, my work, my family, my studyes, the hope, the peaceful in the bad times. In the mornings and in the nighy when I pray, I felt a peace in my heart, because in my job I work with a lot of strees.

i believe in God too, because God gives us everything we can't even count, for example the life and soul...

It's a bit chauvinistic (maybe even narcissistic) to say "God is the most important in my life" in an international forum. I think you are talking about your God, and thinking your God is everyone else's God.

If you could identify which God is your God, there could be a better understanding of your statement - and maybe better discussion.

God is the projection of all ideals human have, he is the most gracious etc... That's the religious idea of God, I think. (I read some books.)
Of course the cultures have different names for their God in different languages, but there is no religion, which says that it's God isn't almighty and worth to be praised at.
So at the end, all religion aim at: "God is the most important in your life", in Christianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam...

Personally, I wouldn't count this as narcissistic.

Now I got your point! Yeah ok, saying: "My God is the most important thing in the world, for me, for you, and for the rest of the world." Is really chauvinistic. (the belief in the superiority of the own group)

But maybe jvegap223 didn't mean it in such a harsh way. Maybe he just wanted to say: "My God is the most important thing for me, your God should be the most important thing for you, and it's important to have a God you believe in, whether the God is Buddha, Christ, Shiva, Vishnu, or Allah."

That's why I would ask him first, before saying that jvegap223 is chauvinistic. Haha, I'm a very friendly guy, ain't I?

As an atheist, I don't believe there is a God in the world. Sometimes I would say:"Thank God", that's just an expression for appreciation, gratitude, etc. I don't really mean it.

I know religion isn't a nice topic to discuss about, because everyone's faith is rooted and unchangeable. I still think that sentence makes much sense:"No religion, No problem"

Religion is the opium of weak minds. It does as good as opium does to your body. It makes you feel happy, but dumb.
