if there is no God, then what is the point of a good life?
if there is no heaven, why should we have any moral code at all?
if when we die, we are just dead, then is the life we have lived enough?
if the is no God then there is no sin, and therefore no punishment.
what makes us what to be a good person?
if there is reincarnation, then who decides what we come back as?
if I am a stupid, moron for believing in God and Jesus, then why why not let me be deluded and happy?
If i am wrong, then when I die, at least I will die happy.

If we are awakened in the middle of the night by the noise of a lamp being knocked over downstairs, what is our first thougt? "There's someone in the house!" is our immediate (and perhaps frightened) reaction. Then, while we hold our breath and lisen anxiously for further noise, our min searches anxiusly for some other explanation. Did I leave a window open, so that the wind might have knocked the lamp over? Could it be the cat prowling around? Did one of the children wake up and go downstairs for something?
Now why is it that we feel we MUST find a reason or a crash of the lamp? Why not just say, "Nohing knocked the lamp over; it just happened, that's all," and turn over and go to sleep again? The reason why we have to find an answer for the noise is that we are sensible people; we have a mind that thinks, and we know that nothing happens unless something causes it to happen. That is so plain, that it hardly seems worth mentioning. "Whatever happens must have been caused by something else"; or as it is put, a little more technically, "Every effect must have a proportionate cause."
That is as plain, we would say, as the nose on our face. Yet there are fools who will deny that it is so. "We haven't seen everything yet," they will say. "Just because our experience up to now shows that every effect must have a cause, doesn't mean there couldn't be exceptions. Maybe in a billion cases, whatever happens will be caused by something else which happened first; and then maybe the quadrillionth time, something will happen without anybody or anything causing it to happen. We just haven't got all the facts yet."
It sounds stupid, doesn't it? And yet fools in self-defense have to deny the evidence of their own senses; he has to deny what is called the Principle of Causality -- the fact that every effect has a cause. He has to deny it, because for this principle is based one of the main arguments for the existence of God. There are many different ways of putting the argument, but it runs something like this:
From nothing, nothing comes. If you've got nothing to start with then you've got nothing to when you get through. No flour and eggs and sugar: then no cake; no acorn: then no oak-tree; no parents: then no child. So, unless there did exist a Being Who is eternal (that is, Who never had to begin existing, because existence is of His very nature a being Who is infinitely powerful (that is, He can make something out of nothing), then there just wouldn't be any world, there wouldn't be any you or me... And if the evolutionist says that it all began with a formless mass of atoms out there in empty space, we say, "All right but where did the formless mass of atoms come from?" No, it had to start with Someone, with Someone Who from all eternity enjoyed independent existence. And that Someone is precisely He Whom we call God.

Can we cut through all the crapola and get down to a real debate here? What good does it do to say Well you believe this, and I believe that, and yada yada yada. What a crock of spit this whole yahoo answers thing has turned out to be. It's like trying to converse with a bunch of children. Hell it's worse then that, it's like trying to converse with a bunch of teens.

God is sovereign and reserves the right to respond to any prayer He pleases. purely except we are in a covenant relationship with Him by using faith in Jesus Christ, we've not got any foundation to anticipate God will hear us. Neither do Christians have a reason to anticipate God will hear them, except they ask in faith. The Syro-Phoenician woman whose daughter replaced into stricken by using a demon is one occasion of somebody who have been given right here prayer replied, even nevertheless she replaced into an interloper - which at that element replaced right into a Gentile - a non-Jew.

Why do you try so hard to find meaning in your life?? To sit there and analyse a whole bunch of things that dont make sense instead of going out to experience life makes you the fool.

The meek shall inherit the earth. Meekness is not weakness. Being meek is to be strong enough and bold enough to allow someone to call them a fool and to say nothing in return. Therefore, it is not the weak people who go around shouting and yelling "THERE IS NO GOD", but it is the strong people who live simple lives taking care of their families, spend time helping others, and give thanks to the One who cares for them and sees to their spiritual needs.
