Is There A God

In my religion it is said that god exist. Yes everyone has there own beliefs. As for me i think god does exist and i am 90% confident. One weird thing that happened to me was when me and my friends planned on going to this party. I , for some strange reason missed an exit in which i had to take. So now in order to make a u-turn it would take us at least half an hour to get there. So when we arrived we noticed police cars and fire trucks. We asked one of the men that were there and they said that there was a fire that happened. No one was killed but many were injured. So i think god made me miss that exit because if i arrived any earlier than i probably would have been at the hospital or at least injured. This is not the only time that something like this has happened to me. So do you think there is a god or not.

I don't believe in a god. I don't believe in anything "supernatural" either... such as ghosts or an after life. I take the experience you shared to be good luck... and I find that people who come to religion tend to come to religion because of good luck or associate their good luck with religion. Honestly I find this to be a warped perception of reality. All my studies only help me understand more and more that there is no god... However I don't particularly think religion or spirituality is necessarily a bad thing. I think of that two ways: 1) It gives people something to hope for, and that's always a good thing. 2) The fundamental message in all religion is to be good. Even if a few extremists in all religions break that clause, most people are very good people thanks to religion.

Some people as well, warped themselves in fantasy - not willing to admit that they have an inner longing to be filled....it's like Peter Pan living in Neverland and not intending to grow up! duh? Only "fools" says there is no God. Yet, for some reasons - He let the sun to shine and the rain to fall for the righteous and the unrighteous. Even the most intellectuals, wisest and knowledgeable people in the world believe in God. And how right they are! Have you ever wondered: "Why on earth you're here?" is it just to eat, drink and be merry; tomorrow you die? The reasons why people established religion is to be "united," with the God who created them. The fundamental truth of reliegion is not to be "good," if i may defer - but to be accepted again by "God." Hence, all this religious practices since heathen times...Greeks, Mayans...Egyptians... you have read that in "all your studies" i presume? hehehe...

I personally do not believe in God's existence maybe because I am really into science and to me the process of evolution is more convincing. However I believe this is one of the most controversial questions to be asked as God is more of a personal choice. Some choose to believe that there is one and some don't. I read in a book once that people created God because they needed to get the blame off of their shoulders and needed to believe that there is a supernatural power that can help them get through tough times. While for me is a good answer, for others might be way too offensive. I am just glad that we have the freedom of choosing what we want to believe in, at least many people around the world have the privilege. I would also lie o point out that I believe it is really rude if you try to push someone into believing or not. I have had quite a few experiences with it and I think it is just plain wrong.

I wouldnt so much put the reason on God but I would think that something worked in your favor. I do believe in God, but I do not believe that there is only one. We all have different perceptions of what we believe God is, but he won't interfere with your life. Perhaps it was already planned, perhaps you were meant to make plans for the party but you were also meant to miss the exit to prove this point that you are considering now. That a higher power intervened in your journey there. Whether it was a mere coincidence or an actual nudge from "the Man" himself you will have to wait til after your current life ends to find out. I'm sure you will get your answer but as for now, none of us on here or any other website can answer that for you. You have to decide what to believe.

It is there really in my life. Whenever i have worries and burdens in life and i called her name He listen to it. It is not quickly responded but still we should learn to wait the right time to reap and harvest. If we just believed and have faith in Him then we are safe and saved. He told us seek and find then you will be granted in his supervision.

GOD is exist, yes GOD is exist. But only in word format 'G+O+D = GOD'. God is not present massively in universe. To know what is happening in world you want to expand your thinking widely, more widely. I also do not believe in RELIGION. I found that every RELIGION has lot of limitation, there is no perfect RELIGION in the world (If present tell me). Revolution Will Coming.....

One thing i loved to tell people is: before making conclusion about anything - make sure that you've done youre research, especially historical. it might spare you the embarassment of letting people know how "narrowminded" you can be. Point number one. the Bible is historically correct, all things in it been proven true by archeology and ancient artifacts - people wise enough understand that - some scrolls from the past attest to its authenthecity and authority. Point number two. even now, for so long years - the missing link is still missing, and if you have read some articles - it shows how those so called "past diggers," cannot even prove at one time what they themselves believe in...lots of bones in the closets. Point number three: No matter what people say: the reality is God exists and even if His creation forgets about Him. He is still God. He loves you and He cares for you. Don't wait for the time that you will face Him and hear Him say: Begone from me, i don't know you. Denying Him is like denying you don't exist...think about it.

My dear, I strongly believe that God exists, though some people may recognise him using any other name. He created the world and takes care of the inhabitants. God protects us in so many ways, though we don't see Him physically. Thank God for saving you from that scene.

Yes I believe in God too and I can say I believe in 100% hehehe Hmmm I just wondering if you believe in God why it's only 90%??? ~.~ Why don't you give your 100% since you've already proven, based on your personal experience, that God really exists?

In my opinion I think there is God. Theres no harm if you beleive in him. But we can't say that what happens to us now is because God wanted that to happen. For me, its us who decides our everyday plan. Its not God who plans for us.

In my opinion only "fools," says there is no God. Lots of people believe that everything that happen to them is by chance or by luck. So does it means, that you don't have to go to work, no need to earn or even eat. you know, by chance or by luck, manna from heaven will fall in our lap even if we just sit down. anyway, what on earth we're here for? so why be concerned about planning when all depends on luck or by chance? duh?

Well, god exist and am 100% sure. I have faith in him and i love him. I entrust my full life to him and he can decide what he wants for me. I feel his presence in my life and i know he is always here to help me whenever i need him. He is always in my mind and am not selfish as to just because i need him , i remember him. Even in your good times, you should remember god and thank him for giving you this good time. Well, am sure there is a god and he is watching our actions ,our deeds everyday and he knows what to do for the world to continue functioning.

I personally don't believe that there is a "God". There is too much unexplained evil and pain to be attributed to free will. This is all blamed on "Satan." It is said that Satan is a coping mechanism for monotheists. I believe this is true.

I believe God exists but that all our ideas of Him have some misconceptions. There are so many different religions in the world and religions were supposed to bring people together, people who have common beliefs. But this is not always the case. There are cases when the exact opposite happens. Maybe it should be enough that people believe that God exists. Other details start to add a different dimension to this belief.

Yes,i believe in God and i strongly feel that there is some mysterious force controlling all our day to day activities and we are all moving according to that force.God shows his or her presence with various incidence as you say.God is bigger than the biggest (so big the universe is within Him).God is subtler than the smallest thing a human mind could conceive.God resides in the heart of every living being.God is the supreme creator of the universe.he Vedas state in scores of scriptural verses that everything is God. That Divinity is one without a second, beyond all forms, names and qualities. That divinity is an existence that is eternally imperishable and indivisible

Have you ever wondered, "What on earth you're here for?" did it not cross your mind how in the world you exist? Drink, eat and be merry, is that all there is to life? let me share you a story: There was once an atheist, carrying a placard with a big sign- "There is no GOD!" he was parading it up and down the street corner. Later on he put it down and walk off to take a break. but before doing that he put up a sign behind his placard stating: "Thou shalt not steal." Little did he know the words he used comes from the God whom he is not believing. Take a look around you, the sunset, the flowers, the humming bees - and the starry hosts. All these were declaring His great works and majesty! And if you consider yourself wise enough, you know all these things does not happen by chance - but created, orchestrated and planned... And no matter how you deny it - deep in your soul -there is a vacuum that only Him can fill. He loves you and still longing for you to know Him more intimately. No matter who you are! He loves you! Now tell me: Is there a God?
