it's the season of lent.. a time for us to repent for all the wrong things that we have done to other people - whether we did it on purpose or not.. eversince i was a child, i was taught by my parents about God as the most powerful and merciful.. He, being the reason why all things exist.. now that 21 yrs. old, i've grown my faith in Him even more.. i see Him as my defender, my guardian, my Father.. however, there are still a lot of people who question His existence.. what about you?.. do you believe that God actually exists??

Yes I believe in G-d. I believe there is One Being with many names and who can be many forms. In other words for Christians , He is Jesus. To us Jews He is G-d.To Muslims Allah. To Hindus Vishnu. And Buddha for Buddhists. and for Hindus? He is splintered into many different forms but He is the Same being. And I believe in Every form/name He takes/has.

Buddah isn't a God even to Buddhist. The Buddah even states he is not a God, but he is "awakened" that is all.

well i cant say the same thing as you , i look around, and when i see many people suffering,struggling to survive, wars, and kind of abuses people do to others, i start questioning where is God? he supost be be here and have everything under control like many religious people say he does, have you ever think where he is when a small child is being sexually abuse?

thanks for respecting my opinion, i always question god , why this kids suffer so much i understand is our own doing but, what about when i hear a couple say "god sent this baby me" if god sent this baby he supost to be well care, or why religious people like you just say the same thing always, its our own doing i always hear that, let me ask you this , have you ever quaestion god? maybe not right? are you afraid to loose your place i haven? nobody knows if there is heaven, but many of us know all peoples suffering and god, is not here to help them.

everyone is entitled to his/her opinion and i respect yours.. i believe that all of these sufferings that the world is experiencing right now is our own doing.. we are given freewill by God but most people do not use this privilege properly.. in the end, it is still Him who will judge where punishment or a glorious reward will be given depending on how we lived our life here on earth.. :)

i get where you are coming from, but a child being molested is not his or her own doing. God is supposed to protect that child right?

God exists. That is my opinion when it comes to this. I would never deny the fact that for me, i felt his presence and felt that he is indeed around us, it does not matter where the kingdom of heaven is, or who can prove the afterlife, it is what i feel i should believe and that is what i will believe until it is proven too that there is no God, as much as people are trying to prove of his non-existence.

For me, God exists. He is present in the hearts of His believers... Although there are some who are confused about it. Have a holy weekend!

Of course, I believe in God just like you do. The blessings we receive everyday comes from Him. He guides us in everything that we do. He listens to our prayers and even those that are kept deep in our hearts. Have you ever wondered why passing thoughts or wishes are suddenly and unexpectedly answered, and we never even talked about it in the open? It's because He sees through our minds and hearts. That's how transparent we are to Him. We,in turn,have faith in Him even though we never see Him in person. It's because we feel His existence within and around us. Happy Lenten season!

yes, He is like a wind.. we cannot see Him, but we can truly feel His presence.. He makes His presence be felt by the people and things around us.. :)
