Raya o
God gave the ten commandments---- Laws---- Rules. He then told us that if we obey the laws, He will bless us with many blessings. If we refuse to obey the laws there will be cursings. Is it God that is neglectfull, or is it you and millions of others that are neglectfull? Read the 28th chapter of Deuteronmy. The bible is almost 1/3 prophecy. If you will study the bible and history, you will learn that there is a God, a God who has predicted that many, many things would and will happen. Hordes of prophecys have come to past. Many more are comming to past as you deny the very person that is bringing them to past. Stop neglecting the laws and God will show up at your door step. Here are some prophecy's which will soon come to past. WATCH!!
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. This is about to occur.
Two other prophecys which you can watch to see if they come to past real soon. Just hang in there and continue to blame God for being neglectful. He is about to show you and the world neglect.
1/3 of the people in the United states will soon die from starvation and disease, another 1/3 will die at the hands of Germany and nine other nations from Europe. Yes this Nation, England, Canada, South Arfica, an Australia are going to be attact and destoryed by ten powerful nation from Europe. So say's GOD. Do you believe that He is correct or wrong?????
TRY to have a good day and good life.

The question of whether or not a God (or Gods in general) exists is an automatic conundrum. Why? Because there are as many as six billion different ideas of what "God" means and what "God" is supposed to be doing in order to fit the individual's definition. Given that, there *are* answers reasonable and possible:
(1) If "God" means any being of an intelligence one or many orders of magnitude beyond the human range, then it's likely given (a) our own existence and (b) the vastness of time and space.
(2) If "God" means "divus" or "diva" in the Latin sense, then the definition applies to any extraordinary human being who shaped the course of history. We know that Julius Caesar did exist and is worthy of being called a "divus". The "other" J.C. qualifies too, but it's not at all certain that he's more historical than, say, Paul Bunyan. In our own age, Gandhi lived and mythically inspired the lives of millions. He is a divus, too, and I'm willing to give Jesus the benefit of the doubt here, for the idea of Him is sufficiently powerful, even if the historical person might br null or less than imagined.
(3) If "God" means First Cause, Creator and Sustainer of the Universe, All-Knowing, All-Powerful, All-Beneficent (and that of course is the more typical concept of monotheist religions), then a red flag goes up and, "Houston, we've got a problem". "First Cause" is a logical conundrum, trying to explain the "mystery" of reality with a yet larger and less explicable "mystery". In fact, here the Mystic stops and finds some satisfaction with this as OK. Reason, however, does not end there, for there is the principle of Occam's Razor, named for the theologian who stated effectively that causes are not to be multiplied. If one can explain nature effectively without needing to invoke the supernatural, then the case for existence of the "supernatural" weakens as a limit approaching zero.
The history of science is a history of explaining things and progressively expanding the realm of reliable knowledge. Think of it as a steady process of closing the void to the point where various disciplines of inquiry reach a kind of convergence or "consilience" (E.O. Wilson's term). It was a memorable quotation of Albert Einstein, that "the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible".
We are very small beings of limited capacity, but the body of assembled knowledge is greater than individuals and growing impressively in just a few centuries --- a short time in the scale of time, which is now measurable. Well, if you want to declare that "God is Dark Energy", then that's super. That exists and appears to be the greater proportion of everything that is. Probably there are beings "out there" vastly more advanced than humans, as much beyond us as we are above bacteria ... something to think about.
As to absolute theologies, dogmas, scriptures, holy wars, racism, hatreds, persecution of heretics ... those are our ruin as a species, and it's doubtful that any God would want responsibility for so much malicious poison.
If you seek a religion, than that of classical Greece is way better than the majority offerings today. Consider that the ideals of Greece are the cornerstone of Western civilization in reaching toward truth, beauty, and perfection in every sphere of life. Several of the Oriental religions as well promote loftiness in living in the here and now --- so there's no vacuum, after all, if your highest being seeks a North Star.

Its not the fact that he's neglectful. He's not but we (the entire human race) screwed up the relationship we had with him. All the things that happen in life and in the world, are part of a bigger story. The only way that we can understand it is through karma and knowing the fact that GOD is taking care of a bigger plan. here is simplest way to understand it:
The battle of good versus evil, love versus hate, and the fact that karma equals everything out.

Does god do things because he's benevolent? If yes, then what he wills is because he's right. but...
If he's benevolent, how could he allow 6 million of his chosen people to be incinerated by Hitler, or why did he allow Truman to vaporize 200,000 Japanese men, women and children or Stalin to kill 30m Christians? If he was also omnipotent AND benevolent, then these events could not have happened.
If you counter that man's "free will" caused those events to happen, so don't blame God, then can it be said God is not omnipotent AND benevolent, because he allowed man's free will to reign?
And further, the mere existence of evil in the world makes the existence of a benign god impossible: if god were omnipotent, he could eliminate evil and if he were benign, he would want to do so...another way of saying this:
If god is able to prevent evil but is not willing to prevent evil, then he is not benevolent.
If god is willing to prevent evil but is not able to prevent evil, then he is not omnipotent.
Evil is either in occordance with god's intention or contrary to it. Thus, either god cannot prevent evil or he does not want to prevent evil.

Yes, there is a God. He exists in the eyes of the believer. No, he is not regretful, but whatever it is that you call neglect, is a challenge he gave to teach you a lesson, to make you stronger, or even better, to open your eyes as a believer. Always remember, He won't give you a challenge which He knows you can't overcome.
God bless.

I think most people just don't understand what God cares about. Some say God doesn't exist because the world is screwed up and He does nothing. I think it's more that what we see as screwed up isn't what he cares about--not for its own sake, anyway.

if you say our great lord is neglect full you are so wrong as our god expect from us to glory him and to have a great faith of him and he put his eyes on us to watch us ant count our goods &our mistakes so if you think that our great god is neglectfull i think the only reason for that is you are too far from him so he punish you to back to him again so think again because our god loving us
