Have you ever felt like God doesn't exist untill...?

Question

You listen to the song "imagine" by john lennon

No other song tells it like it is

here are some of the first few lyrics...

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

In other words, there's a purpose in life for us to live and die for

Answer 1

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?

Answer 2

For me the words of "imagine" by John Lennon usually have the opposite effect. The song talks about imagining about no heaven or hell or no religion. The fact is that there is a heaven, there is a hell, and there is a God who loves us and wants us to love each other.

Answer 3

So seek God through His word, find Him and live by His life. When you forsake men's teachings and have God teach and lead you, then you will both know Him and learn far more, and you will really know and not just have some mental knowledge. We are to hear Him and live from Him, depending only upon Him. It appears that most, if not all, churches do not really do or teach this but yet His word enforces this. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Answer 4

I like the idea of the peacefulness of that song, but I believe that religion gives us a higher purpose and goals in life. In my religion it's also a case of giving me hope and someone to rely upon.

Answer 5

I thought your second part of the question was
"until you imagine him to be" or "until you were told so by your parents"

Answer 6

Why would this song make me think that God exists? Sorry, I still don't believe...
