You are going to get a bunch of remarks saying that "you need to believe in God" But that is something that you need to figure out for yourself. Find out what YOU believe in, Not what everyone else wants you to believe in.

it's not a sin to contemplate. Even strong religions suggest that you think things through. You're a stronger religious person when you've deeply thought about everything and come to conclusions about God. You shouldn't believe in anything that you haven't given any thought to, especially with religion. It's a natural question to wonder if there is a god. We're supposed to figure this out for ourselves. Keep on thinking, okay? (for the record I know there is a God, and in my mind, it's impossible for him not to exist.)

"lean not on your own understanding" - that's somewhere in the Bible.
Why wouldn't you question your god? How would you ever know if you were wrong? You should question everything, this is how you gain knowledge.
"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." [Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, Aug. 10, 1787]
"There is no God, no heaven or hell. It's all just as crazy as it sounds. No kiddin'." - Normal Bob Smith
"There is no such thing as a god. If such a creature existed, belief would be rendered unnecessary, and the entire system of organized religion would collapse." [Ron Barrier]

I believe in God's power because I pray to him everyday, if you don't believe in him, I won't argue because I respect anyone's decision of belief...It is not a sin to question ABOUT God but it is disappointing to God for him to hear questions about why he's the most powerful...He is testing everyone's will power to do a sin...Every temptation is a chance to change yet you choose to do sin anyway so how many chances will be given left?
Do you want to believe in him or don't you? It depends on how you grew to believe in something...

If you don't believe in God there's no one to sin against. Everyone asks questions whether we believe in God or not - and no, that's not a bad thing.

No. Although, some religions do claim it is. God or the concept of a higher being should not be dedictated by rules & regulations. We all experience & interpret God/"higher Power" in different ways,dependin on our upbringing. And whatever you may chose to call it(he/she), you were given the gift of thought & choice, freedom to believe or disbelieve, it's all you. I refuse to believe that God, like any parent, would vanish us from simply questioning his or our own existance.

there are many religions and beliefs out there so do some research for yourself and don't let anyone what to believe. I for one am an evolutionist. I don't belive in a superior being, but that is my belief, so good luck on your quest, i hope you find what or who you are looking for

If you don't believe in God, there is no sin. If you do, you're sinning.

It's not wrong to question God, that's what helps develop your faith and practice your free will.
