it is my opinion that people are afraid of the un-known. it was and still is a statement which i base my answer to my own question....I dont know. i feel very content with this answer and helpes me to remember that it is okay to not know the real truth. I do not like to call my self an athiest, because they believe in no god. the last couple of years i have been questioning religion and faith, this is my answer, and i hope that other people will start to think the same way. unless someone does know the answer, and if you do, please share it with me. I am looking forward to reading your responces. thank you

We all have to come up with our own answers. I think i know why you a re asking this question. The Bible says a lot that doesn't make sense. Too much dogma in religion and you don't' know what to live by. Too many hypocrisies in the Bible and Church.
I believe you should be a good person and help others. Be Honorable and live life the best you can. I believe in God and i am very spiritual, but i do not go to church. But i do pray. You feel it in your heart that God does exist. But all the religions have made it so complicated when it really is simple. Believe in God, or not, but do good and live life honorably. Simple. No rules. No judgment.

Of course there is a God, think rationally for a moment, if the earth were tilted a few degrees more either way it could not sustain life, however someone thought it through and put us just the right distance from the sun, gave us an atmosphere to breath and plants and animals for food that reproduce themselves.
One could also look at the Universe as a broken watch, if you put all the parts in a box and shake for eternity the chances of having a working watch are infinitesimal, Conversely if one takes the same watch to a reapair shop ahaaaaaaaaa
( You see where this is going?)

I believe there's a higher power.
I don't believe this "Higher Power" belongs to any religion.
I kind of agree with the views of "Deism"
From Wikipedia:
[Deism is a religious movement that originated in 17th and 18th century Europe and North America and continues in a mostly similar form today. Deism is a religious philosophy and methodology that asserts the existence of one God or supreme being. It holds that the proper source of religion comes from the exercise of human reason, the observation of the natural world (existence) and the utilization of personal experience with emphasis on individual freedom of thought. As such, Deists reject divine revelation and holy books, which in turn leads to the rejection of revealed religion.]
I think you are Agnostic.
Agnostics believe that they can't prove that God exists, but they can't prove that God doesn't exist either.

You sound sincere ....though questioning.
Jesus said his purpose in coming to earth was to 'bear witness' to the truth. John 18:37
If he wasn't lying, then truth is found in his comments.
It must be admitted that many, over centuries, have twisted his thoughts. This is to be expected ....Acts 20:29,30.
However, that is just a hurdle, not the end of the road.
Yes there is a God. Hebrews 3:4
He wants you to know him and admire him ....just as he wishes to know you and admire you.
James 4:8

If you seriously want to know, look into your favorite topic. Music and Math both display the characteristics of order. It is apparent to the honest researcher that they were designed to do a purpose. Same with every other science from physics to astronomy to genetics. Like I said, choose your topic.

, I feel that since you are becoming aware of the possibility, maybe you should pray for God to show you the truth. If you truly ask in you heart you will find what you are looking for. May God bless you in your search.

No, there's not any proof of any gods existing. Goddesses, yes. Jessica Alba is way too hot to be a mere mortal.
