Yes, there is a god.
How do you talk to someone over the phone if you can't see them? Same concept.
I believe in God because of what I have seen and felt in my life.
God made us, why wouldn't we want to praise Him?
Deaf people will go to Heaven if they believe in Jesus Christ as savior and Lord. Why would you worry about an insect's afterlife?
The end is a blessing, it means God is going to set right all that we have done wrong.
If you don't believe you are telling God you don't want to have anything to do with Him, so He puts you in Hell, where He is not.
The "end" is not the "end," forever, it is simply the end of the fallen state of man. Read the book of Revelation, there will be a new Heaven and a New Earth.

Okies, one at a time :)
"If there is a god" - yes, open your eyes and look around, He's right there.
"how do we pray to one we dont see" - with your heart, let your soul speak ... not only will He hear you, but will answer.
"if i write a book and say that god is someone else" - Would you die for it? It would probably die on the vine without a whimper.
"does it mean that all deafs,animals ... all bound to go hell?" - No, not at all. The Bible says that God knows the heart - He also knows what someone is capable of understanding, He'd never send someone to hell for being mentally challenged.
"why does the end of the world occur?" It won't end. No worries there :)
"jesus said to forgive lots of times love your enemy etc. why cant god forgive those who question about god" God doesn't send you to hell for questioning Him, He's a big God, He can handle any question you have. It's when you know He's there and STILL deny Him that you will suffer. Tis by your own choice.
"why would he want to end what he created.." God is not going to end what He created - not us, not the world.

Without God, no one will write the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God. He inspired some people to write the books of the Bible. There is a creation and end of the world because this is part of God's plan for us. He created us but we sinned against Him so in the end of the world, anyone who will faithfuly follow Him will be saved and will go to Heaven. God is not a product of imagination of man. We should walk by faith and not by sight. If we have faith in God, we will be saved. Animals and plants don't have soul so if they are destroyed, they will be no more. Deafs and mentally will go to hell unless we don't teach them God's Word. Jesus is forgiving but questioning how He was created is wrong. We should not put God to the test. Destroying the world will end sin to the world but he who stands firm Fatihfully to the end will be saved.

First of all, let me say that the excesive use of short hand gave me a headache. Now, let's see if I can't answer your questions.
How do we pray to a God we can't see? It's simple, we pray for several reasons. To reconnect with God, to ask for help, to thank Him for deeds done, to calm our souls, and to understand ourselves better.
Why does God want us to praise Him and why do the unfaithful go to hell? We do more then praise God, we love Him. When we sing His praises, when we pray, when we live our lives according to His word, we show him that we love Him back. The unfaithful/unbelievers have a chance. I believe that after we die, God opens our eyes and gives us one more chance. If, once we know the truth and see Him ourselves, we still reject him that's when He casts the unbelievers into Hell. Not because a Buddhist grew up as a Buddhist. He gives us another chance.
Does it mean that all deafs,animals,mentally disabled,mamals and insects all bound to go hell? No. Animals, insects, fish, and all non-human creatures go to heaven. The mentally disabled are almost surely bound for heaven, they are like children mostly. Very few of them know how to be evil. The deaf? I think they can still follow along with the mass. God won't condemn you because you can't hear, see or talk.
Why doesn't God forgive those who question Him? He does. As I said, I believe that He gives us one more chance after we die, when our eyes are opened.
Hope that helped.

Wow, those are very good questions and no it's not offensive. For the prayer all you need to do is either think in your head and direct what you're saying in your head to talk to God or you can say what you want to pray outloud, it doesn't matter either way works because God knows your thoughts so he will hear what u pray for even if u only think it.
well if you had the choice of being alone forever or having other beings to hvae relationships with wouldn't you choose to have a relationships even though the beings may be inferior? Our God is a loving God and he just wants to know you, he's like a Father, the best father you could possibly imagine so he just wants to have a relationship with you.
Well for the hell question the reason why you would go to hell if you were not Christian is because you had always had the choice to become Christian but you never took it so as a result of the decision to never become Christian you would go to hell, it's not that God wants you to go to hell, it's just that you chose not to follow God so there is nothing more he can do w/o stopping us from having freewill, so he has to let it happen because he wants us to follow him because we want to not because we have to.
As for the animals, I personally doubt they go to heaven but idk where they go. But for the mentally ill I think it would depend on how mentally ill they are because if they can still make their own decisions then like I said they'd go to hell bcuz they decided not to be Christian, but if they didn't have the capacity to make the choice then they'd go to heaven at least that is what I think from what I've learned.
The end of the world occurs because though our God is a loving God he will still become angry at times and the end of the world is basically his final punishment to all the world after those seven years Satan is banished for a thousand years and then there is peace for a 1000 years. He does forgive those who question God but you only have so much time b4 it's too late for you to decide, once you die, you die so you can't become christian after u die obviously.
it doesn't actually end at the end like i said there's 1000 years of peace after that and then Satan is suppose to be released again after that

These are questions that are valid but you have to find them out for yourself. You've got quite a bit there so it's impossible to answer them for you. You also have to form those opinions for yourself and find out what you believe in most, not what others tell you. You might find out you don't believe in Christianity and guess what, that's OK!
I'd like to think whatever deity is in charge isn't that rigid or angry but, some people say everything in the bible is true and just believe it without questioning it. I don't think God or whoever would want you to do that so it's ok to question. You won't go to hell for that. Check into different religions and ask questions. You can't come on here and expect someone's opinion to make up your mind. All religion is in interpretations and opinions basically. It's up to you to make up your own mind.

There is an Almighty Creator. (His name is YHVH). He created things very good. There was an angel who desired that he be worshiped as the Almighty. (He was a bright covering cherub, but he became the adversary- Satan) Now things are not very good, but marred by sin. Man is naturally weak, and fallen, and only the Almighty (through the Messiah Yahoshua) can lift man up to the perfection necessary to live in a very good world. In the end the Almighty will erase all sin. If you are connected to sin, and choose not to let the Almighty free you from sin, you will be burned up with it. After everything bad is burned, the Almighty will make things over, and again, they will be VERY GOOD.

Q. "Is there is a god"
A. Yes there is a God.
Q. "how do we pray to one we don't see"
A. We pray through Faith to God since we can't see Him. We have faith He is real and can and does answer prayers.
Q. "if we believe in god just because many others said its true ......."
A. You must believe in God because YOU want to, not because of someone else. They can witness to you and share what they believe & know, but ultimately the decision is yours to make. For no one can get another person to Heaven, only you can through Salvation.
Q. "if i write a book and say that god is someone else ..and ask many to spread the news..and make it believable ....."
A. There are many authors in the Bible, but only One spirit that lead them to write it, God and God in the flesh as Jesus Christ.
Q. "and why would god want us to praise him.."
A. We should want to praise Him for giving us life in the first place. We should praise Him for waking up each new day. We should praise Him when something wonderful happens, because when it does it is Him helping us. We should praise Him for even the bad things in life, for those are meant to be tests of our faith in Him, and after they pass we find a miracle awaiting us just around the corner. When someone shares something God has done for them with us, most often you will find that is God letting you know you too are soon going to be blesses. Because it is another test to see if you will be upset that He didn't do that thing for you, or to see if you will be envious instead of happy for them.
Q. "and why if we don't have faith in him we go to hell"
A. Because without faith in God, He will not grant you eternity in a Heaven that He created for those who do have faith in/on Him and His Word. If someone did not believe in God, have faith in Him (that He exists), why would they believe in a Hell He is said to have created. This is self-contradictory honey, if you have faith to believe there is a Heaven, and or, hell then you must also believe someone created them, right? Well who else would have created a place you can not see nor feel or touch, than a God (creator) who you can also not see nor feel nor touch. :)
Q. "does it mean that all deafs,animals,mentally disabled,mammals and insects all bound to go hell?"
A. Jesus cast the demons that called themselves "Legion" into a herd of swine, demons have to have a soul to possess, thus we must assume that pigs have should to possess. I also believe donkey's have a soul, for Jesus spoke through one in the Bible. Also I believe dogs & cats have souls, they are what we could call innocents. This is because they are lower than humans, they were created lower than humans for humans to care for and be in charge over. As for bugs, unless one has heard God or a demon speak through a bug I would say they have no souls, and in my 39 years of life I have never heard of such a case. However I have heard of dogs & cats speaking to people, and those people say they were either of God, or demonic things they spoke.
Q. "why does the end of the world occur?
why cant he juz kill the cause of the end of the world."
A. There will actually be NO END to the world (Earth). The Bible tells us that the Battle of Armageddon will take place after the Great Tribulation, and then Jesus will dwell on the earth with His saints for a thousand years. He will restore the earth to it's prior state, like when He created the Garden of Eden. He will do this because that is the kind of world He created first for His children to live in. A sinless, painless, illness free, world, where there will be no crying or anything bad.
Q. "Jesus said to forgive lots of times love your enemy etc. why cant god forgive those who question about god ..why must they die.."
A. If you question things about God that only proves you are trying to learn. It is when you deny Him, saying He does not exist, or literally tempt Him in their words & ways, that He becomes hurt. He loves everyone, even the ones who do not love Him. Never does the Bible say a sinner must die, it states that when they die as a mortal, then their soul will be sent to Hell on judgment day, if they are found to be a sinner that has remained unrepentant to Him. Our souls are eternal, so though our bodies may die, our souls will live for all eternity in Heaven or Hell.
Q. "when i read the bible..yea it explain the start and the end...but why would he want to end what he created.."
A. He will NOT end what He created, He will simply make it NEW for His saints who have been found repentant before they died, sincere repentance that is. It does not say what He will do with the earth after the thousand year (i.e. what the Bible calls the Millennial Reign). Who knows? He may create more people to begin another world full of people to serve Him, or He may simply take us away to Heaven and leave it as it is, people free.
I do hope this helps you in your search for answers.
Blessings & Peace 2 U!

It is difficult to convince you that there is a God if your mind is set to believe that there is not one. The only thing that I can say is that as long as you are an ethical person, good, charitable and merciful, you are on God's track.
