Answer 1

hope for the weak

Answer 2

I would not say that God needs to exist. He cannot not exist. God is that than which a greater cannot be conceived. The divine one has given humans free will because he wants us to serve him out of love, not out of compulsion. God has not totally scripted the future; he probably knows all that it is possible to know, and it does not seem possible for any being to know (infallibly) at T1 what an agent will do freely at T2. God will also reward the pious and punish the impious. Exactly how he will punish the impious is a matter of debate. Eternally burning people for hell is more than likely a bit extreme, would you not say? Maybe Sartre was partially right when he asserted that hell is other people.

Answer 3

1. GOD become celebrity, you know celebrities life don't you?

2. Many people wants this and that...

3. Many demonstration. Why my dog had to die? Why you create us, Why.., why..., why..

4. GOD is too GOOD and superior to us (human). Human brain, etc can not find GOD. So to solve why give humans free will? why have a heaven or hell? It is beyond our capacity!

5. Maybe GOD testing us. Do you still be a good boy/girl without GOD? Like parents.

Related to point 5: There is or not GOD, it's good thing people still think of GOD. it surely makes people in the world not destroy their own civilization.

To me it does't matter can see or not (meet) GOD, the important thing we be a good boy/girl as we can. Good if we can avoid hell by doing it, but if there isn't and there is no GOD? It still worth. We are not creating hell in this world! Like a bullet in body (poverty, etc in the world). There is medicine called religion. What would you do? Are you tring to find the sniper, what reason he/she did it to you, while you suffer in pain?

Answer 4

He is the boss of His own creation, you know the manufacturer if you please

If you read the bible even a little the answer would be obvious. Have you tackled the problem of evil in the world. There is a guy in Iran who wants to blow Israel off the map and isn;t concerned about 10 million of his own people in the process. Process that for a while. If you were God what would you do about it? In the bible violence was so bad that God sent a flood that was worldwide, but He promised He would not do it again.

Answer 5

U R GOD! We are all ONE with the Father! Nothing is separate from GOD. And Dude, God needs Nothing. There is no heaven or hell. We exist to experience LIFE always all ways HERE and NOW! Why? Because this is the best thing going in town, truly because there is nothing else to do. Who wouldn't want to? And why are you restricting the way we answer your question and judging us before we can even answer, cause if you KNOW SO much; WHY ASK?

Answer 6

I believe that the answers ARENT in the bible. God is not one man with flowing blonde hair that sits atop a cloud all day and looks over humans. The fact that people in organized religions think that they are 'right' about god is borderline immature. God is much more likely just a spirit, just an 'immortal being.' Remember, the Universe is infinite, and probably filled with tons of life forms that arent human. So why does god have to take the form of a human...?

God exists because there had to be a creator. You get into the kind of situation where its like "ok if science created the earth, than who created science." etc. basically it ends up being unanswerable. There had to be some kind of being that 'just was' and from there created 'things.' People who worship gods are merely worshipping icons that somewhat represent this idea.

I believe that life, at its core, is good. There must be a god for two reasons: to ensure that life, at its core remains good. And because somebody had to create everything.

Answer 7

The age old question, how is something created from nothing. Was there a 'cause' for the Universe to be created or God for that matter? The only evidence we have is to observe things changing...from one state to another. Things move, come to rest, expand, get smaller, combine with other things, divide in half and so on. But no one has observed things coming into existence.

Consider this, the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is 100,000 light years, exceeds ordinary human comprehension...right? a time interval vastly greater than all of human history. Another thousand times farther takes us to distant cluster of galaxies, but even then, that would be less than one ten-thousandths of a percent of the observable Universe. We are mere specks in an abyss of time and space.

Did you know that there's a certain percentage of scientists who believe in God, even Einstein spoke of him often. But the greatest number of non-believing scientists are the astonomers. And then what of the existence of other Universes, Multiverses, as it were?

The hundred billion galaxies of our visible universe, each with a hundred billion stars, is but a grain of sand on the Sahara, grown out of that original "pure vacuum" or nothingness.

To ask why does he need to exist does not make sense, in view of the only observable piece of evidence we have...that is the irreversible trend toward our utter death and annihilation (speaking of our planet, galaxy and the universe in general).

Answer 8

Actually you have it upside down. God exists so that man can be relieved of his burden of having free will.

Have you ever had an option crisis? Like there is a fork in the road and both lead to the exact same place you are trying to get to. Which road do you take? Usually, we say it doesn't matter. But maybe traffic is bad in one place, but sometimes the other road has worse traffic. And while you are driving you just have seconds to decide which road to take: option crisis. Wouldn't it be much easier if there was someone to tell you which road to take. Well so that if he's wrong, you'll have someone to blame.

Is it wrong to kill other people? Well if you kill someone, you go to hell, or at least that's the popular belief. But think again, other gods tell their followers to kill other people. How do you decide which god to follow? Well the fact that it is YOU who decide which god to follow is final proof that YOU define your morals and that you are just making believe that someone is deciding for you. All that just to remove option crisis.

Answer 9

yes, God is the person who omnipresent and omnipotent. that is the belief. He rules the world and the king of Kings. We cannot see him with our eyes, we can realise Him like a air. My friend I can say onething God is onely one, People call him with different names. that's all. The Bible says. He created human as like him, or perfect, the tricks and others difficulties found by him(people). when Adam and Eve commited sin, the hell has got place against heaven.

we are just travellers this journey called life, one song says. this our temperory residance, we have to live an everlasting life, this is the test (our life) how we perform.. all are beliefs.

even science and great doctors say after taking great efforts, 'we did our lever best, the remaining is God's hand.

so He is great, in life some things we cannot go and research, we should leave in its own way,
that is reallity of life, hope this is enough to your question, regards

Answer 10

I really do not know if God, in fact, knows what will happen b/4 we even do it because, I do not know what form God truly is in. I believe in God, but our capacity as human beings allows us to visualize him in a human type of form. Therefore, God may have allowed us to believe as humans that he knows what we will do it before we do it. This may not be so, or it may be. If not, I would surmise it to be a form of keeping some type of law and order in the world. We possibly are here by mistake. The planets itself has proved that it can shake us off in a minute and continue to exist. Perhaps a miracle of impossibility occurred when something in the wind was captured. That something, is life as we know it. Just my thoughts.

Answer 11

God does exist and He made man in his own image.

Hell does exist and quite a few of you look like you're going to find out the hard way.

The scary thing to ask yourself if you're agnostic or atheist is... "What if I'm wrong and they (Christians) are right?"

Eternity is a very, very long time to spend weeping and gnashing your teeth.

JOHN 14:6 "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

God doesn't live in time as we know it.

REVELATION 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
