Real proof of God?

Question

Picture this. You live in a 200 sq. foot straw and mud hut with ten of your immediate relations. Every day you spend 2 to 3 hours trodding barefoot over land mine-riddled terrain to fetch a few litres of "cleanish" water. Your husband, to whom you were given immediately after your first menstruation, has been dragged of and forced to fight for a side to whom he has no allegiance in a war whose single and inevitable outcome is the compounding of the misery and terror which is your life. Your father is missing a leg. His father is a torso. Your child's belly dwarfs that of your pregnant self. Cholera and dysentery are your best pals - they're always there fo you.

Answer 1

Statistically, the most oppressed and impoverished people are the ones that cling most strongly to theistic beliefs, no doubt because they *need* to invoke "faith" as a support mechanism to endure the horrible misery that is their lives. What's more, they are often compelled through FEAR to obey their religious and political leaders, who threaten them with "fates worse than death" by manipulating their religious beliefs. When a person lives in despair, they can be easily manipulated with promises of reward, and threat of punishment.

Affluence allows for clean living, education, and the freedom to indulge in philosophy, epistemology and other high-brow activities. When you are in control of your life, you are unafraid, and then you can start to ask QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFE, as opposed to simply concentrating on staying alive.

Who are the people most in control of their lives. The ones who are educated, affluent, free, and have access to UNDERSTANDING the most about the nature of life - scientists.

Is it any wonder that most scientists question, and subsequently abandon, the concept of god fairly early in their lives?

Answer 2

God is aware of this. and will soon act.
His time frame is a bit different from ours.
(2 Peter 3:8) However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.
Even if a person dies before Armageddon, they will be resurrected to a new life, without sickness and death, back on the surface of the earth. Rev. 21; 4 and Psalms 37; 9,11,29,34
(Romans 1:20) For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable;

Like....can YOU make a tree? or a flower.

Answer 3

God is actually the most real in such a scenario, because these people will want to believe strongly, that death will come and they will be rid of all these suffering and compensated by GOd in haven.
Which to me is just rubbish.

Answer 4

so your idea is that a fat white man sitting behind a computer is the epitome of God's grace? More than ever, this world desperately needs prayers. Nothing else can help it, and people like you remind me of it constantly. You seriously lack the belief in your own power, so how could you believe in God?

Answer 5

Man. Too bad we can't just have an all-pervasive atheist-based government that is dedicated to the best interests of the group!

Answer 6

What other proof do you want than yourself.
God is within you!

See with a open mind. You will find God in you and after you find this you will also see God in anyone you see within that roof.

Answer 7

That isn't so much proof of God, so much as it's evidence that civilization sucked for a long time for a lot of people.

Fortunately, we now have white russians.

How is that a typo?

Answer 8

Hey you forgot the typos

Answer 9

I guess it is a matter of faith. I see the god and the goddess all around me and in me.

Answer 10

Don't be so negative.There's much more time for cooking classes.
