Many have questioned the existence of God. . . But for me, the only thing it takes to believe in Him is faith. I do believe that within us, we can see the answers. We may be rationalizing we do not see Him or touch Him, but if you will just seek Him right now, right there to where you are, He will manifest His love for you in ways you cannot comprehend. He has been trying to reach us always, we just have to give Him a try and you will see how He can completely change everything.

I agree with you, all of us are connected to God but not all of us recognize, human nature is always to question things, what, why, how instead of being thankful the very good example is the gift of life and the acts of nature that is unexplainable, we just feel His love that made us belief and have faith.

Yes. We do not need great miracles (although God will do it) to believe that He exists. Just to feel His embrace everyday is enough. It is satisfying to the soul - giving us love, peace, and joy that cannot be taken away.

I would like to think I have a relationship with God, not just a fly-by-night affair that does not mean very much. I try to do things that benefit people and things they can learn from and get good ideas. I try to be good. What is good, you ask? I like to be good in that I am not prejudiced towards others, that I respect people of all faiths - not just my own - that I talk respectfully of other religions and not make anyone feel out of the loop or inferior. I do not talk ill of other faiths, practices, and religion as this is a learning experience for me.

I don't really believe god is real nor do I believe he isn't really. I don't believe someone choices what does or doesn't happen to us or when we will die or not. I don't fallow any religion or faith. I believe all is real to a certain existent. I don't have a relationship to home. I'm a firm believer that even if I don't believe in him he'll always believe in me.

Hi,
Every religion teaches us to believe in God. God is everywhere in living and non living things also. God is also within us. God is always with us but we can not recognize him. He come to help us in any form. I have experienced it in my life. Experiences in our life teaches to believe in God. We should love God and there is nothing to afraid of God. We all are the children of the God.

This is a very good discussion that you have started my friend. God - the famous word which has set the whole world to question about it. On the other hand, we see scientists refuting God while believers doing service to God and mankind.
For me, I do have a personal relationship with God and He is not a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or any other God that is bound to a religion. I believe that men created religion but God is above this man-made creation. It is rightly said by someone that we are spiritual beings on a human journey. Religion has defined their own God and in our contemporary world, we can see many catastrophic events, like explosion of world trade center, holdings its basis on a religious intolerance. Does God really want this? NO. Then how can we assert that God belongs to a religion. I believe that God is ONE but we know Him by different names and forms. I respect God and have faith in Him because I have respect for Him. I don't fear God because those who are wrongdoers fear. I do not really have a reason to believe in God else it will sound like an exchange process - I do this and that will be given to me. Love and faith in God is unconditional. This cosmic design itself is not a coincidence, its fine-tuning is another wonder of God. Believe in ONE God.

Do you think everybody has a relationship with god? No, Atheists don't even believe god existed. And do you have a relationship with God because you fear God or love God? I have a relationship with God because I love God and believe that he really exists.What is it about the faith you believe in that makes you so sure that it exists?I believe in not only limiting the reality to what is only observable.For me, there's a lot of things beyond everything.

Thanks for this discussion, i am Hindu by religion, we have so many gods and goddesses, i think they protect us/love us; no i am never afraid of them.
We also consider our parents as living gods.

Not everybody for some people don't believe in His existence. I have a relationship with Him because I love Him and He is my Redeemer and my Savior. Fear? I know he will chastise me when I make mistakes because I'm His child. Just like when I committed great mistakes to my parents. I have faith in Him because I believe of what the Bible says.

yes, we are all from God and in relation with him with our each breath.. worship of God should not be done cause of fear but for love and we need him in each second of our life, when we have enough knowledge about God, it is appears like very kind father to all of us. and worship and talking to him will make us happy and fresh and for that feeling, we would never try to do more sins, at least big sins, then it does not need fear, it will make love in our heart and feelings and for that we would be eager more and more to be with him..
