We all believe GOD does exist.Then....
Why is the poor becoming poorer? Why are good people not getting appreciation or good things in the end?? Why are bad people getting good things at the end??Why is the luck stronger & in favour of bad people?? They say GOD does the accounting for everyone. Then why good is not considered good & bad is always considered good??When can we see the balance sheet made by GOD's accounts??I dont believe in KARMAS (DESTINY) so please no KARMAS answers.Pls give practical answers.thanks.

why do you have the idea that god needs to be all good in your eyes? he wasn't all good in the bible. if you want to believe in something that does no wrong, and is all about making heaven on earth, find a new religion, cause christianity isn't for you. god is about having faith through the "tests" of the devil.
karma and destiny are two very different things by the way.

I often think this. We now can say with confidence we know the internal structure of the earth, the crust, the mo-ho, the upper mantle, mantle and the outer and inner core. We are also confident what these layers consist of. We have looked up into the nights sky with powerful telescopes. We have sent man a quarter of a million miles to the moon and back. Our probes have explored distant planets and their moons,we have gained an understanding how the universe works. Yet some people still have this immature vision of a "hell" beneath our feet and a "heaven" up in the sky somewhere.

alright there should b the rich & the poor, the rich open a company the poor work there if all of us is rich who will accept working as a postman, taxi driver, dont hate me but who is poor now God will make it up too him in the end when this world is over, in Islam we all believe that wht God didnt give in this life u will b givin to u in heaven.
God do exist & every bad thing that happen to, is a test from God if after all this do u still gone believe in him?
& every good thing too is a test, are u gone thank him?

this life we live is a test that say r u goin too heaven or too hell??

God gave us free will. I could easily say, I have a crappy house, the roof is caving in, I haven't eaten in 2 days. So He must not be real.
I have a crappy house because we were tricked into moving and stuck in this home. The roof is caving in because snow got too heavy on it. I haven't eaten in 2 days because the food here makes me shiver.
He did none of that. My second cousin, my dad forgetting to get the snow off the roof, and my stuborn stupidity are the reasons.
God does not control us. Everything is in His plans and His will. We ask and pray and when our wants fit His plans, He answers them how we want.
People forget that science is one of the newest ways, and only one of the ways to look at the world. I believe so little of how science looks at the world because they are contantly contridicting themselves and going back and saying 'no, we were wrong.'
Of course, I have friends who don't believe in God and strictly believe what science says. They have their reasons and I have mine. So it's really hard to answer questions like this without someone else with just as much "proof", proving you wrong. It's all a matter of what you believe.

I don't believe that we have faith in God as a way to justify the ways of the world. I think it's something to look forward to as a better existence. If you say that God must solve all of the problems of the world that is not a good point because as human beings we have free will. Currently the choices of fallible people have gotten us to the point that we are at in society and it will be up to us to change it. We have faith in a higher being to guide us to a better way of life within our families, communities, as well as the world.

It depends on your definition and vision of God. The scientific method proves there is always a greater power at work beyond our understanding. I think it's easy to disprove one's own definition of God, the question is what do you think God is and why. If you think God is like a kid and we are an ant farm, or God is some kind old man, those are probably feeble images of an entity or agent whose presence and ability are beyond the laws of physics our awareness of the universe is based on.

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!

Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!

Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?

My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:

Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...

Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...

Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

for starters, science has neither proven, nor disproven the existence of God. It is fundementally impossible to do either. Science on the other hand, does give reasons to believe in a God. You only have to know where to look.

(In all this next part, remember that we live in an imperfect world, but imperfection on our part is required for true love to exist, which is needed for salvation.)

Next, we can say that those who are poor, are getting poorer through either their own neglect of themselves, or the neglect of the rest of mankind. God is not a pragmatic, but he did give mankind control of the earth and themselves, it is our duty to care for the poor in our city, and all over the world. Sometimes people are poor because they are too lazy or too into substance abuse to support themselves. These are found more in developed countries (like US) and need help too, though a different sort. The poor which are caught by a true poverty because of famine can be helped. We have all heard that there is enough food in the world to feed everyone. It is only our own failiure which allows greed and war to get in the way of food distribution.

Why are good people not rewarded? Well, tell me what a good person is and then prove to me that they are not rewarded. I would define, (for all practical perposes) a good person as one who watches out for the good of the people around them and also go out of their way to help them however they can. Many "good" people are content with only small thanks or simply the satisfaction of being a servent. Ask them. If they are not content then they are really looking out for themselves only. Would you call someone good if they help people for the sake of being praised for it? No, that is selfishness. Next, take a look at history books. How many famous "good people" are rewarded or honered only after they are gone or dead. In the words of the pop song, "you don't know what you got till it's gone."

For the next one, I would like to question what you mean by "at the end." What is the end? Death? Everybody dies, whether they were good or bad. Before death? I have seen bad (self-serving) people come out on top, but I see them come out on the bottom far more often. Just think about it. A kid decides he knows everything so he drops out of highschool and gets a job. He does poorly for several years untill he decides to try to finish his education so he can get a better job. If he had listened to his parents he would have done much better, with a lot less pain. Let's say he gets into drugs or alcohol, which is very common. He does it to serve himself again right? To get high or numb so he can forget his trouble. This is self-pity and it is a form of selfishness. And again, he's in trouble, he can get addicted and must waste more and more money on this. This digs him into an even deeper hole, financially, and this time mentally and physically. Would you say that this "bad" person has come out on top? But everyone can be turned around, everyone can turn to a good life style and if I met this person I would never give them up as lost. Or would you say that the end is after death? If so, than know that simply being good is not enough to save you. According to the Bible, our own rightousness is insufficient to save us. In that case, both "good" and "bad" people will have hell to pay for the mistakes in their lives.

Next, show that the luck has anything to do with morality. (Besides the fact that bad people cheat.) Also, since there are more bad people than good, the odds are better that a bad person will win the lottery. Simple probability.

Last, we can see God's balence sheets. If we are both talking about the God of the Bible, then you only need to look in the Bible to see that it says; everything will be brought to light and be judged, (Ecc 12:14) and every human will be found wanting of rightousness, (Rom 3:23) but those who have put their faith in the saving power of Christ will be saved. (Jn 3:16) That is what it boils down to, if you want to get a better picture of God's expectations, read the sermon on the mount in Matt 5-7. But a glance will tell you that humans are incapable of saving themselves and need Jesus' sacrifice. That is God's accounting, whether you decide to accept Christ or not decides whether you receive eternal reward or eternal punishment. It is that simple.

forgive me for the length of the reply but you asked a lot of questions and I wanted to answer them all. As for God, I believe in God and I encourage you to seek him but I can do no more than give you reasons to believe and no proof. This is your own personal decision which no one, not even God, can make for you. God bless.

No. Science has completely disproved such a ridiculous concept.
