it is just the nature of the flesh. Paul preached on it, that which I desire to do, I do not. and that which I despise, that I practice. That is my quote.
(Romans 7:14) For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
(Rom 7:15) For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
(Rom 7:16) If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
(Rom 7:17) Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
(Rom 7:18) For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
(Rom 7:19) For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
(Rom 7:20) Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
(Rom 7:21) I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
(Rom 7:22) For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
(Rom 7:23) But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
(Rom 7:24) O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
(Rom 7:25) I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

After all my contemplation and philosophizing in my 21 years, I have concluded that God either isn't there or doesn't care. People take actions with the intent or gaining some type of reward. Other people who are clamoring for the same reward or have some different idea about how it should be used will call the winner bad or evil.

God knows everything that is about us, what has ever happened in the past, and what will become of all our futures.
We as humans keep doing wrong because we're merely humans and have a weak side. That is why it is up to ourselves to learn self control on what we see, say, and do

You are right he should take away all the rainbows and flood the earth again, getting rid of all the sinners.
Noah kills the “clean beasts” and burns their dead bodies for God (Genesis 8:20). According to Genesis 7:8 this would have caused the extinction of all “clean” animals since only two of each were taken onto the ark. So why is it that we still have “clean” animals?
It is all to absurd!!!

We don't know if God sees all or just gets reports from the Angels. But God does eventually learn all about everyone.

If god exists, I think he/she/it is a fairly forgiving being knowing that we are a) human, b) complex.
Plus, the level of our activity and how "wrong" it is probably determines a great deal of how god sees us. If we, say, spit on the ground, that's one thing. If we spit on someone in particular, that's another.

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?

Yes, God really exists, knows and sees all. Why do you? It's the same for all of us - it's our natures.

I don't believe in god. To me evryone is god, or has the potential to be. I believe (don't know why, just do) that our souls, thoughts etc, are, invisible and projected outwards and upwards and they all link together, froming a collective entity that bounds us as human beings, or just creatures, and that it is there where we get the feeling of being brothers and sisters and one, you know, it's a bit like Jung's collective mind.

I live my life aware of GOD's presence. I also know that GOD knows that we are a fallen people and all I can do is my best. I have a long way to go but GOD is patient and Jesus is my attorney.
