First off, one must define "God". What and/or who is he/she? What are the qualifications to be a "god"?
I spent nearly 30 years of my life as a devout and hardcore fundamentalist Christian. I am now an atheist/agnostic.
It is only my opinion, but I don't believe there is a god in the sense humans believe in. A being to be praised, worshipped, or deified. I have come to think if there is an entity or entities we might consider creator(s), that entity is so vastly different from what any religion on earth might think of, it would be like comparing apples and oranges.
Bottom line, if there is an entity or entities that had a direct hand in our existence, that does not qualify it or them for godhood, it qualifies only for involvement.
So no, I don't believe there is a "God".edit on 6/20/2012 by Klassified because: redaction

You asked about God and of He exists but do not want bible quotes , God told is He would prove to is He exists thru His prophets . God has done exactly that but people refuse to believe in them , just as Israel and Judah did millennia ago which cost them their country until it was restored to them in 1948 . Every country that had participated in the Arab spring last year was named in the bible , yet it will be ignored as old prophecy even though the bible tells us every story was given to us as an example of what to expect in the end times.
The bible you do not want quoted tells us of the next war and how Damascus will be a ruiness heap never to be lived in again . It also names Iran and its people to be scattered to the four winds . Don't worry it did not forget china and Russia they are named also . The bible talks of an army from the east two hundred thousand thousand strong crossing the dried up river Euphrates . It is fairly dry now and all turkey has to do is close a dam and it will happen and yes the bible gives us a story of how this happened before when Cyrus the great concurred Babylon .we can't forget that the bible named cyrus the great of Medio Persia to do all this about 170 years before his birth and also to let the Jews go back to Israel to rebuild the temple with Cyrus paying for it . Secular records confirm this .
I could go on but most call it bull , I will leave you all with this note soon very soon war in the middle east and then peace and when we hear of peace the end will come .
