I am testing a new employer and I can't get through one training sesh without hearing about 'the all mighty' and the thoras...

I think there could be something greater than us, or just a huge beautiful mistake- some organized chaos if you will. Just my own opinion, I know everyone will have their own

Yes I believe in God...However, I think your employer should keep his/her religious beliefs to themselves in the workplace.

There is no god. If he created us then who created him?

We are a product of random acts.

An almighty being that lets kids die of cancer, watch innocent people die horrible deaths at the hands of rapists / murderers, steadies the aim of a maniac shooting 50 plus innocent people in Las Vegas, watches disinterested as another shoots school children repeatedly in the face only to delight in the sorrow to their parents ??? That almighty loving God ?

You can't sell me the God but you might be able to convince me of the devil.

Two different questions.

Yes I believe.

However, if an employer is talking about religion to an employee in a training session, unless you are working in a religious institution, that is inappropriate.

I believe in any god that doesn’t need financing.
I do know of a small local church that doesn't absolutely need
financing to survive. Founder of the church is a rich accountant
who has enough money of his own to pay for the budget deficit.
The church doesn't have a pastor or any staff on payroll although
the founder would bring in an evangelist every once in a while
to give Sunday sermon.

So I guess the god of this fool who is happy to part with
his money is an exception.

Yeah I think so too. But that's just me. Btw the OP is an ex client of mine so the boundaries are already crossed. Not SP money either so I don't think I can continue, but small ventures like this remind me to appreciate everything

Sounds like your ex-client/employer is not just a nominal
but a fervent believer of God. Having a religious co-worker
who is respectful of other's belief should not be a concern.
But if he is going to become your SO you will have to work
something out to avoid a major clash in values you both
hold in the future.

I don't know if it's necessarily a God, but something had to create this mess happening in this place we call a world...

Very true, and when you question believers about this type of thing they all say the same type of thing “God is testing people” or “God works in mysterious ways”

Two women in my family had cancer and a friend said “I will pray for them”... then seemed to think it was God that helped them.

The other people that I like are athletes that thank God for helping them win.... God likes only certain teams and not others I guess

This is just my opinion... I don't believe in any God. Doesn't mean I'm right though. I think religion was a way to make sense of the unexplainable when we didn't and couldn't know any better. I'm a science oriented type guy, I think it's fairly well documented and experimentally proven how "we" came to be though we obviously don't know everything yet.

I'm curious as hell how the religions of the world are going to deal with the reality that life exists (or has existed) extra-terrestrially when it's found. Crossing my fingers it's within my life time! With an estimated 40,000,000,000 earth like planets in our galaxy alone times 100,000,000,000 galaxies in our universe it seems statistically impossible we are the only ones. And that number could multiply exponentially since evidence is pointing towards a multiverse. With all the exploration going on on Mars all of a sudden in the last 10 years I suspect scientists already know and are just looking for the "smoking gun". Not a conspiracy theory - just wishful thinking. If any religious people would like to weigh in on this I'd like to hear your opinion, I am genuinely curious.
