I don't mean to sound heartless...but i don't see any actual evidence of a God and don't know how people can believe in one. No offence to catholics or christians here, but who can actually believe in someone that doesn't exist?

Religion in all it's forms is one of the two greatest evils in existence (the other being money). It is nothing more than a tool that was created by those in power to justify their oppression and manipulation of the weak/poor. All this God is love, Allah is great crap is put there to try and hide the true purpose of religion, which is to control everyone and convince them that those who don't believe are evil and must die. Look into all wars, slavery, genocides etc. in human history (from the Egyptian Pharoahs to the Crusades, Spanish inqusition, Salem witch trials and the current Islamic lunacy) religion has been at the core of most of them. We will never evolve socially while we continue to place religion so highly in our lives.
Face it, if there was a god, do you really think it would be proud of us? No, it wouldn't, we're a selfish and violent race and no god would allow one species to destroy on such a scale as we do.
I don't totally rule out the possibility of a god existing, I just find it laughably unlikely. So the next time a Jehovah's witness turns up at your door, or some nutter is in the town centre preaching, ask them if they believe in Zeus, Osiris or Thor, as to accept the existence of one god is to accept the existence of them all.

I don't believe in most religions but I do believe there's something more. Most religions have "lost the way" and it's easy to get disillusioned with the whole does "God" exist debate.
To me I just live my life with my own sets of rights and wrongs rather then those dictated to me and if I get judged one day that at least i get judged on the person that I am rather then conforming to a stereo typical view of how God believes I should be a good person and get a golden ticket for being a good boy.

I believe in God, not a god. There is evidence all around you of His creations if you look. Christianity is based on faith. God doesn't have to prove Himself to us. God does understand that not everyone will come to Him based on faith. He created us and knows the human weaknesses. When God Raptures His people (Revelations), He will provide this proof. After that, each individual will have a choice to accept Him or not before His second coming to earth to set up His reign. I hope alot of people choose to believe in Him before that and do not need to actually live in those terrible times.
Just for fun, try reading the Left Behind series. If you don't believe it, then you can look at it as a story. But it really does help you to understand all of Revelations and explains alot about God. I always had a hard time completely understanding the book of Revelations. This series puts it all into todays times. You'll wanna keep going after each book is done. It really helped put my life back into perspective.

Are there sound reasons for believing in God?

Ps. 19:1: “The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.”

Ps. 104:24: “How many your works are, O Jehovah! All of them in wisdom you have made. The earth is full of your productions.”

Rom. 1:20: “His invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made.”

Scientists have identified over 100 chemical elements. Their atomic structure displays an intricate mathematical interrelationship of the elements. The periodic table points to obvious design. Such amazing design could not possibly be accidental, a product of chance.

To Illustration: When we see a camera, a radio, or a computer, we readily acknowledge that it must have been produced by an intelligent designer. Would it be reasonable, then, to say that far more complex things—the eye, the ear, and the human brain—did not originate with an intelligent Designer?

According to the Bible book of Psalm. 90:2: “Before the mountains themselves were born, or you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God.”

Is that reasonable? Our minds cannot fully comprehend it. But that is not a sound reason for rejecting it. Consider examples: (1) Time. No one can point to a certain moment as the beginning of time. And it is a fact that, even though our lives end, time does not. We do not reject the idea of time because there are aspects of it that we do not fully comprehend. Rather, we regulate our lives by it. (2) Space. Astronomers find no beginning or end to space. The farther they probe into the universe, the more there is. They do not reject what the evidence shows; many refer to space as being infinite. The same principle applies to the existence of God.

Other examples: (1) Astronomers tell us that the heat of the sun at its core is 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit (15,000,000° C.). Do we reject that idea because we cannot fully comprehend such intense heat? (2) They tell us that the size of our Milky Way is so great that a beam of light traveling at over 186,000 miles per second (300,000 km/sec) would require 100,000 years to cross it. Do our minds really comprehend such a distance? Yet we accept it because scientific evidence supports it.

Which is more reasonable—that the universe is the product of a living, intelligent Creator? or that it must have arisen simply by chance from a nonliving source without intelligent direction? Some persons adopt the latter viewpoint because to believe otherwise would mean that they would have to acknowledge the existence of a Creator whose qualities they cannot fully comprehend. But it is well known that scientists do not fully comprehend the functioning of the genes that are within living cells and that determine how these cells will grow. Nor do they fully understand the functioning of the human brain. Yet, who would deny that these exist? Should we really expect to understand everything about a Person who is so great that he could bring into existence the universe, with all its intricate design and stupendous size?

I have a Masters in Law and one way that I assessed the evidence for the existence of God was by looking at the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus: its good"!
Some people tell me that they see God in the marvels of creation around us.
Other people find that they tried commitment to Jesus and it worked.
Still others have had a personal experience of God through the power of His Holy Spirit
A small minority of believers, especially former Muslims and Jews, have come to the Christian faith through dreams
I know some people don't believe because they can't "feel" God, and maybe the evil in this world makes them think that maybe God can't be there, but the Bible never says that there will be a time before Jesus comes back in which there will not be evil in the world, so the presence of evil confirms God's Word rather than leading us not to believe in Him
And He's real to me and over 1.9 billion other Christians. Thats a lot of witnesses.

I became a Christian when I was six years old, I knew then as I know now that God exists and He loves me.
Faith is believing in something you cannot prove. You will only accept God is real when you are ready to. Until then, know that He loves you as well.
I studied the Philosophy of Religion at school and found my beliefs were confirmed. Maybe look-up the Design Argument for the existence of God - it's pretty powerful
Enjoy your search and I hope you find peace about this

I do be live god. Let me tell you how. I lost my mother when i was six years old & dad got married within one month. He use to love me so much, i still remember the stories he use to tell me. But he changed a lot.

Every time i have a orgument with my step mother, i'll go to some corner and cry for my mother, I use to ask the god, what is my falt, you took awey my mom? why only me?

I never belive in god. Ther is nothing like ' faith', This is only lazy people's vertion to escape, these are my opnions .

But I chaned my opinion in my later life. 'Yes God is there, Some super power is there.

Where do we go after death? What is life? Were do we come from? and so many questions.

Then istared reading books, lisning to holy speaches on T.V and radio, attending speeches, srarted yoga,

Yes , You can call it any name, Super power, Jesus, allha, Bhagvan, call any but he is there.

I think God makes it very clear to us that He is the Creator and that this isn't just a cosmic accident. For example: Have you ever wondered how birds know to fly south in the winter?
How bears know to eat their fill because Hibernation time is coming? How salmon know to swim upstream during mating season? Have you ever wondered how the planets all spin on their axis and revolve around the sun? What holds the sun in place? Why does it not move around like the planets do?
Have you ever wondered how we breathe, even when we are asleep? Even from our first day of birth?
Or how do animals instinctively know how to swim?
Now, next time you are going to bathe, stand in front of a mirror and look at yourself, your eyes, your nose, your mouth, your teeth (Biters and chewers) the tongue with which you speak, now look at your arms and legs and abdomen, eyebrows and lashes, your hair. Now as you gaze up and down in the mirror, looking at your self, ask yourself if you appear to be a cosmic accident? Now think about your bodies inside, your arteries, your heart, your skeleton, your brain, your central nervous system, your thoughts, your dreams, your emotions, can all this be from a cosmic accident? A "Big Bang" as some call it?
If you have nothing to begin with, you cannot have a "Big Bang" If there was nothing to begin with, a fish could not sprout legs, or a monkey could not become a human being. All these things are science's way of trying to explain our first second of existence. They stick with one theory until it is disproven, and then they try another.
How about things we take for granted, such as electricity.
We know how to harness it and use it, but we do not fully understand how it exists or the workings of it.
Gods fingerprints are clearly all over His Creation.
I would be honored to discuss this in more detail if you are interested, simply e-mail me.
God Bless You....Peace.

Have you actually proved to yourself that God does not exist?

If you don`t see any evidence that there is a God then are you walking around with your eyes shut or worse are you blind?

I don`t need you to answer my questions here but you need to answer them for yourself.

Look around you, do you think that everything you see made itself. Did everything happen by chance, or can you credit it`s creation to God.

Consider the Sun, Moon, Stars and Planets. Animals, Birds, Plants and planet Earth. Finally consider Humanity itself. Do you really think this has been a colossal accident or can this creation be attributed to a most Holy Creator God.

I believe in Him and you can too, just ask Him.

Many people believe in God. And btw, your comment "no offence(sic) to catholics or christians", if you did offend people, you offended all people of faith, and that's a lot more than just catholics or christians. Now if you had said "do anyone believe in Jesus" that would be different. But you said God. Jews, Muslims, and several other faiths also believe in God.
