I Believe In “god”, But I Don’t. Is There A Name For People With This View?

Like I don’t attend church or read the bible or anything and I’m wary of the current understanding of god (i.e. a singular omniscient being ). I feel like if there is a god, its beyond human understanding of it. However when good things happen to me I tend to say thank you to I don’t know who or what out loud. I believe in karma and many principals that are considered religious, although I think they are more universal. But I don’t affiliate myself with any particular religion and don’t believe in organized religion (for me personally, that is). Is there a name for that sort of “religious” view?
I should note I was not raised religious, though my extended family is baptist and I went to Catholic school for 12 years. My mom is religious, but unaffiliated and my dad is an atheist.

    You should know this!
    For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life!
    God loves you and although you might not believe in Him or your caught up in all the lies that other spread either way God loves you! You make that choice!
    Matthew 10: 32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.
    Matt 18 10 “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.[a]
    12 “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? 13 And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
    Jesus is the way!
    God Bless!

    There is a word for anyone who believes in the reality of a hypothetical god or goddess, that they are imagining.
    It is ‘theist’.

    Nearly … but not quite deist I would say.

  6. theshort says:

    Well, you either believe in God, or you don’t theres no in between, but you don’t have to go to church to be a christian. Christianity is not a religion, it’s about a relationship with God.

  7. Snake Goddess says:

    It’s called ‘Deism’.

    “confused” is all I can come up with Friend. and why wouldn’t or shouldn’t you be, you were never firmly rooted in Gods Truth, all you’ve been exposed to is Babylons confusions, you never had a chance to know Him, it’s not too late (yet) the signs are here and rapidly approaching, you still have time 🙂
    Revelation 16:13, 14 says “unclean spirits like frogs” which are “spirits of devils” will unite them through the miracles they will work. Spiritism–the belief that the dead are alive and can contact the living–will be the tenet which will weld all together. Satan and his angels–posing as the spirits of dead loved ones, prophets of old, angels of heaven (2 Corinthians 11:13, 14), and even Christ Himself (Matthew 24:24)–will convince the world that their cause is guided from heaven itself. Incidentally, all three entities believe that the dead are alive:
    A. Catholicism prays to Mary and other dead saints and believes these saints bless their followers with miracles.
    B. Non-Christian religions are virtually all based on belief in and worship of spirits of the dead. The New Age stresses “channeling”–supposed talking to the spirits of the dead.
    C. Apostate Protestantism believes that the dead are not dead but, rather, alive in heaven or hell. Thus they are highly susceptible to deception by demons who pose as spirits of the dead.
    What are some of the false teachings contained in Babylon’s wine that make people spiritually drunk and confused?
    Amazingly, some of the most prominent doctrines of Protestantism today are not found in the Bible at all. They have been brought into the Protestant churches by the mother church of Rome, who received them from paganism. A few of these false teachings are that:
    A. The law of God has been amended or repealed.
    God’s law can never be changed or repealed (Luke 16:17).
    B. The soul is immortal.
    The Bible mentions “soul” and “spirit” 1,700 times. Not once is either referred to as immortal. People are mortal (Job 4:17), and none receive immortality until Jesus’ second advent (1 Corinthians 15:51-54).
    C. Sinners burn eternally in hell.
    The Bible teaches that sinners will be completely consumed (put out of existence), both soul and body, in the fire (Matthew 10:28). An eternal hell of torment is not taught in the Bible.
    D. Baptism by immersion is not necessary.
    Baptism by immersion is the only baptism recognized by Scripture.
    E. Sunday is God’s holy day.
    The Bible teaches, without question, that God’s holy day is the seventh-day Sabbath–Saturday
    Note: These false teachings, once believed, tend to bring “confusion” (which is what the term “Babylon” literally means) and make understanding Scripture much more difficult.
    It’s sobering to think that some might unknowingly be drinking Babylon’s wine. Perhaps this is all new to you. If so, please ask God to guide you (Matthew 7:7). Then search the Scriptures to see if these things are so (Acts 17:11). Promise that you will follow where Jesus leads, and He will not permit you to end up in error (John 7:17).
