Harbinger, what do you mean by the phrase "Do you believe in a god?" I have some questions:
1) Which god?
2) What is a god? What meaning was originally put into this concept?
3) And what does it have to do with whether one prays or not?
The catch with the question is that for every person, this phrase can mean different things. For me, for example, it is completely absurd. So by logic, it seems as though I don't believe. But I cannot believe in something that doesn't exist. Obviously, there is a force (energy or god, as you call it) that created the universe, and there is a force that created that which created our world, but I don't think it can be called a god since "god" is a purely religious concept and every nation and every person in particular has their own, and the concept of "god" performs certain specific functions different from what ignorant people attribute to it.
