OK i know this is a tough question. I know that everything is based on "conditions", e.g. U fall for a girl, u say "i love her selfishlessly". This is impossible, u fall for her is because her character attracts u right? Or her smile, her look, her body.. Whatever reasons, there must be a "condition" there; If not, u won't fall for her.
This is just an example, but it is true. Similarly, to love and trust in GOD, there got to be something u want or praying for is rewarded by him, otherwise how will u put your trust into him? Without any evidence, u can't bring yourself into this trust relationship.
Agree?

I have never recieved anything I asked for, not once. But what I got was so much better than what I asked for.
I prayed to not be pregnant, and now my daughter is my greatest joy.I found out I was having twins, and I prayed that it was a dream, and now they are my heart and soul.
I prayed to find love young, so I wouldnt be hurt, two bad relationships, and a divorce later, I have real true love, AND know the meaning of it, Ive never been happier. I begged for my great-grandmother not to die, but when she did, I came to see how she suffered, and I appreciated God for taking away her pain.
Every prayer is answered, sometimes the answer is no, and sometime later down the line, you'll see why, and that is JUST as great a proof of evidence of God as recieving your prayer.

Nope, I don't agree, I prayed to God to heal my daughter, it didn't happen the miracle that I prayed for, but you know what? I still believe in GOD my Eternal Heavenly Father. I have learned of His great love for me even though my prayers were not answered. It's not for us to know the why's and what fores it's about trusting in God's infinite wisdom and accepting that he truly knows what is best for us. And just because my prayer wasn't answered in the way that I would of wished, there is still evidence all around me to His existence and His Glory. I know that HE is a SURE thing and that will never change even without physical proof.
The Best and most Beautiful things cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the Heart...........That comes from the gift of the Holy Ghost and there is no denying it once you've felt it in your life.
Good Luck to you as you seek and search for the answers that you're looking for. I hope that one day you will know what I'm talking about. It is an incredible thing.

no, i do not agree.if god exists then in his all-knowing way he can do pretty much whatever he wants. he is not asking for you to believe in him, thats for sure, since he has not really bothered to show up. you are just an insignificant speck in an infinitesimal universe. ofcourse, this gives you an idea that this god is malevolent., that in a sense this god is evil because why would he create us in the first place if he intended to abandon us in our time of need?but if god is evil, why would he have the desire to create this universe? look around you and you see that there's some good. if theres some good, then you can grant that this god, if he exists, is not all evil. at best, he is a neutral god. but if he's a neutral god why are there objective moral values? both atheists and christians philosophers agree that if there are objective moral values, then there must be a god. the atheist then denies that objective moral values exist. but deep inside we know that there are certain wrongs that are really wrong ,despite our subjective interpretations, like rape and murder. it's wrong whether you believe otherwise. if god is a neutral god then why would he put something in our minds that would make us readily abhor evil? shouldnt we be neutral too? like a chip off the old block? but we know what's right from wrong so this must not be true.so now, we wonder if this god is a good god. but if he's good, why is he allowing evil in the world? well, this is a long shot but if we grant that this god is good then perhaps this is the best possible world that he can create wherein we can freely choose right from wrong. now we ask, if this god is a good god, why does he allow evil? why do i suffer? if you ask me, i do not have the answer since i am an agnostic. but if you ask a true christian he'll have this to say. that the purpose of this life is not the pursuit of happiness but the pursuit of the knowlegde of god, and that suffering, to be denied of a wish, to not be saved in the brink of disaster, to lose a loved one, is part of that pursuit of knowing the true nature of god. in his all-knowing way this good god has a plan for the greatest good of all.

I've prayed for so much and gotten so much.
Of course, there are the things I haven't recieved. But most of these things, after time, I've realized were not in God's will-and not granted for my own benefit. It took time and a little wisdom granted by God for me to realize that.
Still, when I don't get prayers I throw my faith behind, I am bitterly disappointed- at first. But then I just have to realize that it was not in accordance with God's will, and again, with time and wisdom, I will see more clearly God's plan for me, and why he did not grant me that specific request.

disagree. we are supposed to have faith in God. faith is believing in that which you cannot see. He doesn't want you to believe in Him just for what you can get out of Him. Through faith we trust in Him. God has never lied, He cannot lie, so there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't trust Him. Unfortunately we are sinners and to often try to reason our way away from God. He loves us and gave everything so that we could be saved. His only Son died for us, and yet we still question the One who knows the beginning from the end. Jesus loves you<><

God's Son Jesus prayed for His Father to stop the process of being tortured and having to take on the world's sins and die on the cross. Jesus' Father didn't answer His prayer but held firm. How's that for conditions for you?

God is not some divine candy machine where you insert your prayer coins and out pops your request. God is in no way obligated to you, He just loves loves you, without conditions. It's rather childish to compare God's love with human love. One is divine, or, "agape", the other is romantic, or "eros", as the Greeks put it.

Yes, I would still believe. Creation itself proclaims the existence of God (Romans 1:27), and His Word is completely true. I could never doubt that He is as He says He is.

no. because we look for a very narrow specific answer to our prayers, and they are often answered, but not how we want them.
God isn't beholden to you or us. we are humans-God made us, we didn't make it (unless you believe that-then fine, have it your way) should God answer every prayer we have-all 6.3 billion-to prove it exsists? no-because God exsists with and without our acknowedgement. God doesn't really care if i know it exsists-it wants us to, but its not nessecary. we have the capacity to believe in God, but also the will not to. shouldn't that be proof enough?
if i weren't so tired i would give you a nice metaphore, but i hope this answers well enough (as incomplete as it is)
