The entire basis of most religions is begging the question... we know this already.

Interesting question. I'm making an educated assumption that you only believe what you can sense. See, taste, feel, hear & touch. Now answer this question: Do you have a brain?
Have you seen your brain. Have you felt your brain? Have you heard your brain make a noise? Have you tasted your brain? Have you touched your brain? Now before you answer note the key part of this question is have YOU done any of the above. Not what you have learned or been conditioned over the years of your existence. You have no proof that you have a brain. However you know that you own one. Are you using it to its full potential? Your question answers that. Just because you cannot physichally prove that GOD exists, does not mean HE does not. A majority of the time people realize GOD exists is when they are in distress. What proof do you have that Julias Ceasar existed? What proof do you have that the world is round and circles the sun? While we asking these question, why is the sky blue, why is water wet. Does oxygen exist although we need it to live.
I hope I have answered your question. True wisdom knows that it knows nothing.

It is called FAITH...I do not need proof that God exists! I know that He has walked with me through life and taken care of me when things seemed hopeless. You will never GET IT until you invite the Lord into your life and heart and experience it for yourself. Knowing that the Lord will take care of you even in times of trouble is something that is very hard to put into words.
It is a calming feeling and a joy that washes over you. It makes you to want to try and be a better person. It rids your life of turmoil.

If you think rationally, you can not prove existence of God. People says you get reward or punishment for you work.
Can you tell me why a small child dies for no fault of his or her own. Some body would say it was fate! Then what is the role of God in human life?
We can not alter the course of our life by praying to God or not doing any rituals. Even if the God exists, he or she does not do anything just stays as a spectator.

No, just seeing the beautiful thing he made, seeing the stars at nigh, The miracle of birth, of life.
When I need him, he have been there, in the moment more obscure of my life, I call him and he answer. Not only have answer my pray, but when I have pray for other people. I have seen healing, miracles and liberation, I have seen people change for good!
I have seen so many miracles in my life. And the must wonderful miracle when I see the sun every day!
Why do I need a book? He is with me and you right now...
If you believe in him or not, he is there....Is like the wind, you can feel him, but cant see him!

My proof comes from my own beliefs, not one particular book or event. If you want to prove or disprove that God exists you will, just ask the right question.

No. The book is evidence, not proof. The reason we consider it evidence is because examination of the book shows divine authorship. Prophecies are fulfilled once on a larger, more blatent scale which is recorded in history and then again on a smaller, more obscure scale, requiring more faith to believe.
For example, there is a prophecy in the old testament, that the great Lion of Judah would be brought down and made to lie without help for 3 and a half years, then it would rise up again, conquering all. This is exactly what happened, when the nation of Judah went to war centuries later, was destroyed, and for 3 1/2 years they recieved no assistance, and then on their own, they rose up again, conquering all their enemies. This is a fact recorded in history. Now when Jesus(also called the Lion of Judah before his death) died, he remained dead for 3 1/2 days. He rose again on the last day, conquering death. Now it would be a leap of faith to believe, but here are some facts that science has proven: Jesus did exist. Jesus did fulfil prophecies written long before his birth. Jesus was tried and executed. Jesus was buried in a particular tomb on skull mountain. Jesus' body was NOT in the tomb later. You can choose to believe his body was removed, but you would be refuting the proven fact that Jesus fulfilled hundreds of prophecies in his lifetime.
Now here is more outside evidence: The Dakota Indians worship a god called the Provider. (This is also a name we give to out God) What's strange, is that all the representations, the symbolisms are different, but the story is the same. The Dakotas have basically the exact same story to tell, up tot the point of the New Testament. In fact, they were at one time watching for a great Eagle, a messenger, who would tell them how to relinquish their sins. Many believe they have seen this Eagle. The Dakotas had, and virtually still have no contact with Judaism. Where did these stories come from? I believe God spoke to more than one group of people as if they were his "chosen" people.
In my personal life, I have been through many battles about whether or not to believe in God. Faith is not something I have alot of. But everytime I start to lose faith, something happens in my life, that I can only see as God speaking to me. I recently started thinking about going to China, but I had no idea why. I just wanted to go. It was driving me. I've never had so much ambition in my life! So after talking with a new Chinese friend who's been teaching me Chinese, I discovered that there's alot of poverty there in some of the rural areas and much of the city. I go in touch with a friend of mine, the only one I could think of who would understand a calling from God, and told her that I needed to talk to her, that I was planning on moving to China for 2 years. When she called me back, she was speechless, because she had just finished a project for college on everything a person would need to know if they were moving to China for 2 years. I don't know how much more coincidiental it could've been.
There have been many other instances in my life where I see them as God speaking to me. I could never convince you that any of them are actually real. You would have to decide that on your own. Do you believe in God or Fate? What I don't understand is that you give the same power of creation to chance and fate as I do to an intelligent being. What's the difference? Isn't it possible that Chance and Fate are beings with goal oriented behavior? I can accept evolution. I always accept proven science. I consider myself to be a pretty smart guy.
It is all a matter of choice and faith. If you can't believe that there could possibly be a God, then you have nothing to worry about. You can live your life in peace, knowing that nothing can control you, nothing exists to scold you for anything you do. I do not judge you for living any particular lifestyle. We are all the same here on earth, and in light of Christianity, there's only one deciding factor: Whether you choose to put faith in the spiritual world or not.
