Most people have been rasied to believe there is a God, and many of them pass it on to their children. But no one has seen God so how do we know there is such a thing. Other countries worship other Gods. So how many Gods are there. If God is real then why is their so much pain and suffering going on. Why does not God not answer someone prayer after years and years of praying. Why does good good to some and bad to others... How do we know the bible is true. That was written so many thousands of years ago. Do you now how many stone engavings it took to write the bible. There really is no proof of anything. Why does God let children be molested and raped and beat. If there was a God he would stop all of this. But he is letting his children suffer. One can not pass judgment on a parent who abuses their child when God who is suppose our loving father is letting it happen. He is doing nothing to stop it. So how do we know God is for real? How many of you believe in it because of your family

I can't. Nor can I prove that a god doesn't exist. Most people who emphatically argue that one exists don't have proof that a god exist; they have faith that one exists. They don't understand the difference between faith and proof, and get offended that anyone would question something that they believe exists.

You're asking for proof of something, when no proof can be had. God(s) are a belief, nothing more or less. Scientifically, god is disproven a little bit more every day, thru things like archaeology, astronomy, and biology. Many people would try to dissuade you from looking at fact, telling you to look inside yourself, and you'll find the proof. Mankind has a certain need to not feel so insignificant, so it creates a god figure to explain away fear, things that can't be explained, and pain. The downside is you have to give credit for things you do yourself...things that take inner strength and conviction.

I don't endorse any religion, or god belief. Instead of one of the big "there is no god" rants that I've become good at, I'm going to suggest something a little different here. Try to find some information on Buddhist teachings, specifically the Four Noble Truths. Buddhism isn't a religion, but a philosophy. It has no god, and requires you to take responsibility for yourself, and your happiness. Every negative thing you listed in your question, can be answered for you simply and logically (without being preached to), and even if you don't follow that path, you can at least apply the knowledge and thought to what you do believe, maybe helping to make sense out of the randomness of life. If nothing else, you can see another perspective from the things you have on your mind.

There is many questions in life that can be hard to answer. Why is there air yet we can't feel it or see it? Why is there wind but its invisable to our eyes? Did you know waters not actually blue but its the reflection of the sky? Do you honestly think that a God who created such beautiful things as pregnancy or children? The veriety of animals we enjoy or the vast types of beautiful flowers we see.... God does not make people do these hurtful things... It is not him practicing these wrongs... If you do believe in the bible and im not judging if you do or not, but it explains why God at this time does not act but helps us to understand that when he does that all practicing those things will reap the consequences. Not to mention that all those practicing such bad things have no future hope. It's not just you who is confused and I don't look down on you for asking. It's a reasonable question and many ask the same thing. Don't allow others to form your opinions though, read and research, you will find your answer.

Here's some life's truth:
1. You can only see God when u die. So if you want to know if there is really a god or not, ask someone who have died and came back to life. that person is the best person to ask. But yes, I will tell you, there is a God.

2. Too many gods bec each culture is not the same. Some are not contented with one god, so they create another one to help them in their harvest, another one created to help them have children, etc. But basically, there is only one almighty God who can do all these things.

3. The sufferings and pain are part of fate, fate is the sister of karma. it is written in the Bible; God said that if u sin, he will punish your decendants even to the 3rd and 4th generation.

4. Not all prayers get answered right away. There are some that gets answered, there are those that needs waiting.. but God will allow processes for you to get where u wanted to go. Faith is important. But there are those prayers which gets a NO answer. Bec its just not for you even though how much u wanted it. And thats life goes.. we cannot get everything we wanted otherwise, just imagine what this world is gonna be like everybody getting what they want.

5. You will need to dig into history to know how the bible came about.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isnt than live my life as if there isnt and die to find out there is.

Fact: No one can proof God himself other than pointing you to signs that are around us. No one can proof just because lights are on, someone is home.

Fact: Even science has not come to the conclusion what exactly started the life and things that exist.
There are theories and then there are missing links.

I say we all wait and see where exactly will it lead us.
About your question about why God allows suffering (which by the way is the most common question by those who have just discovered "there is no God")
What part of "God creating human in his image" didn't you understand?
We are responsible of our own acts, the gain and the sufferings.
He created nature for us and gave us the wisdom over everything yet I ask you what exactly is the reason that Atheists are not able to save the world from suffering if there is no God?

It is simple, God created us with complete wisdom and resources for us to survive from anything and everything. It's US who can use those resources in a good manner or abuse it and then point to God and say "why did God allow this to happen?"

If you think believing in God is useless then face it that you believing in "no God" is just as useless.
This is the Islamic point of view.

Yourself is the basic proof that there is God. Though there is science on how humans are created or born, can you not just wonder how perfect this process can be without GOD, a supreme being who planned it ALL. If you are talking/thinking about the bad things in this world and that God do not do something about is also a proof that their is God it shows that He is God and He knows more that you know or thinks on how He will handle the situation in His own Time and Space. If there is no destruction/ or evil or death or alike in this world then how can you appreciate "peace" "goodness and "life" or will there be challenge of life for us struggle in order to achieve a Life that is better together with GOD. The world is not as small as you think... that i will be just easy for a certain person to be similar to the other. So cannot expect a person thinks and acts the same because it is a human nature to think for his own and that is the power that is given to US by God : our own FREE WILL. that No matter how good or evil our actions or doings can be ...but there will always be consequences or results that will be given to us for that actions we made. I cannot make you believe that easy ... but i know there will be a time for you to Believe ... i just know it!

There can be no proof of God's existence since this is a matter of faith and not scientific fact. Bad things happen to good people every day and likewise good things happen to bad people every day.... if there was a 'god' behind it all, I would have to say that He/She is really messed up. I am an atheist and do not worry about such matters. Fate is what it is, sometimes a benevolent protector and sometimes a heinous bitc#! Such is life.... resolve it in your own mind or suffer a lifetime of regrets and disappointments.

Just because you say no one has seen Him, doesn't mean that he's not there. For example, in school, they tell you there is a core, a mantle and a crust. Now nobody has ever seen the inside of the earth yet everyone believes it. Scientists say that water is made up of oxygen and hydrogen. But no one has examined a water molecule ever before yet everyone believes it.
Now you may say that God LETS people get molestored and raped and murdered. God isn't. In the Bible, it says that those kinds of people will be cast into a pool of sulfur and will be ripped apart by demons in hell over and over and over and just as they are about to die, God heals them and lets the demons rip them apart again. Now if you say that this punishment is that bad, well think about your arm being pulled off. Your eyes gouged out by Satan. Fire burning your skin off. Just picture being in a pool of sulfur. Those who commit terrible sins will pay dearly. Also about your question about why God doesn't answer. There are a couple of reasons for that. To God, 5000 years on earth is one second to God. Second, God does answer your prayers, its just that sometimes you are blinded by the world and the answer passes by you. OPEN your eyes. Third, 3/4 of the people that pray are praying for things they want, not need. Think about some prayers you have said in the past and examine it and wonder if it is about wanting something. Now I pretty sure that this won't change your mind. But you asked for an answer and you got it. Who knows, maybe you prayed to God for someone to answer this question and God might have sent me to answer it for you. Think about it.

Everything you said is true in one way, but Did you read the Bible, everything that is happening is there. If you don't believe in God then, why have so many questions? Still missing hope. Everything happen for a reason, even the bad things. I had been raped for someone who hurt me bad. Someone in my family was on drugs and try to kill me confusing me with someone else. But You know something I never let go my hope. I learned a lot for those experiences and I never accused God for anything that happened, We are the ones who make choices, God can't change your decisions but he help your soul and answer every question, just need to listen with your heart.

THE SUN SHINE FOR EVERYBODY.

EVERY DAY IS A NEW BEGINNING, HOPE!

Believe!
