We can measure a tree, we can measure time, we can weight a pound, but we aren't able to measure or have the same expirence of God. Why

God is not a concrete object that humans can see like a tree, a flower, a car. Time and weight wouldn't be measureable if science hadn't proven to most of mankind that it could be measured. At the present time, faith is the only thing we have to measure one's experience with God: a belief, or disbelief, that some greater power is guiding each of us.

I trully do believe in a divine, but I believe that no one god or goddess for that matter can do it all per say. As far as a God is concerned, well in my beliefs you look around at nature and you can see Gods work, and the Goddess' work as well. Not from one God or Goddess but from many working together to form the Earth and all that inhabit it. Religon tends to be such a sore spot with many people and there is no right or wrong answer, it is what you believe and feel in your heart. Mainly it is all about respect for yourself and tolerance in others beliefs. I don't believe there will ever be an exact experience of God or any Goddess, just a knowing that there is something higher than us.

I believe that it depends on the type of person that someone is. God is our way of feeling as if life isn't meaningless, and that there is someone to guide us through life and tell us what is good or bad. Therefore we believe in the god that will help us the most in life. The one that fits our needs and personality the most. Some people need to be told not to do bad unto others, and the only way they wont is by being scared that they will go to hell. Therefore Christianity helps them and makes them afraid of the devil so that they will not do bad. I believe that God is everything and nothing all at once. That statement might not make sense to most people but it is the only way that I can believe that there is a God. God must be all and nothing. There is no way to completely grasp all of reality. We are limited to our own relative minds. So God is as real as one makes him/her/it.

We can all experience God within, but we have to be still and look within. It will be a light inside of you. That we interpet our experiences differently is natural because we are all a product of our culture and upbringing. But if we actually experience Gods presence inside of us, there are no more questions really, we then can drop all we think we know and just be there in it. We usually experience God in a way that is most meaningful to us. God is very real, but you can't measure the infinate. Go out at night and look at the stars, how far can you see just with your eyes, but you know there is more then that out there.

God is God and no matter what people call him be it God , Allah , or whatever you wanna call him we all won't all experience the same thing. Pending on what you do in life is how you will experience him. But one thing is for sure the one experience we all experience the same is his might and most of all his mercy.I mean heck, you are alive to ask this question aren't ya?

God isn't real for you because you may can't measure your own Words and perhaps also your intentions. > This is how you can measure some of his powers', Just Judge your self, base in the question you have made, but be truth full, if not truth full don't try to wind, any more by being deceiving to your own inter-net name?....Just play,...........? But learn a better game or a better way to play?.....

First of all, God is very much real. And we can all experience the same God, but he gave us a free will. We do not have to experience him if we do not want to.

God is outside of all he created.Not every ones experience of a tree is the same either and time seems to pass at a rate relative of how you feel.What is easy to lift for one another struggles with.

Assuming there is only one god, yes, we would all be under his rule. However, if you were talking to a guy named Joe, do you think he would like it if you called him Bob?
Thats basically what religion does, it gives a name to your god. Hopefully you get the right name...
Thats of course under the assumption that the true god is a single deity.
What if the true religion is not one god, but many gods?
Then the answer to your question would be no.

Experience and objects aren't the same thing. You can measure objects, but how can you ensure that everyone experiences something in the same way?
