You do if you suppose that higher power to have any kind of intelligence.

Yes you do!!!

I don't believe in a higher power. I do believe that there are things we may not know yet and may be out of our comprehension, but I don't assign them to a higher power.

One either depends on logic and evidence or one does not. You seem to not quite be there yet.

I agree. Or to be undecided about it even. That's why I'm agnostic.

And why, exactly, would I need or want to do that?

You are probably correct, but some of us don’t feel the need to invoke a greater being. I have never thought that there is a higher power, however I have an open mind and if I was presented with credible evidence, well.....who knows!

A higher power. That would be an injected smallblock Chevy. Wizards in the sky? Nar. Somewhere in the universe a species smarter than us? Given the subject of this thread, I hope so

I wonder what the higher power believes in.

Exactly right. Two words:

Donald. Trump.

The foremost higher power and intellectual genius in the world.

Oh, I cannot keep a straight face...

I believe in a higher power. What it is I don't know. Might be Maha Kali.

Probably is more a definition of "spiritual" than of "religious". Some people believe what they are told because for some reason they don't think for themselves. I don't understand it - but I know it happens. Other people limit what they believe to what they know to be facts. This makes more sense to me, but I think it is still short sighted. Facts are constantly being discovered. We don't know all of them. Beliefs should be based on what seems reasonable from individual perspective and experiences while not discounting or ridiculing the experiences of others.

No you don't.

What you have to be is not a very critical thinker.

"I like to think / want to believe that there's a higher power" is not a basis for belief.
