The question was, 'what personal experience do you have that supports or disproves the existence of God'?

Answer 1

I suppose your concept of 'God' is pretty important to define then... If you, as I do, conceive of 'God' as simply a representation of all combined existence (which is really miraculous if you ask me) then there is evidence that 'God' exists in every blade of grass, in every face, in every grain of sand, breath of air, bead of sweat, smell of barbecue.... it is all a miracle. It is intricate and immense and beautiful and awful and scary and inspiring and heartbreaking. It is all things to all people all at the same time!

Everybody has to get over this picture of God the accountant, tallying up your sins in some horrible heavenly audit, or God the savior, fostering a race of unruly children, or God the anything. There is no guy named God, just this huge force that makes everything live and fills me with wonder and awe!

Answer 2

You don't need personal experience to prove God. I think alot of these people that write bad things about God and the Bible are truly ignorant. Like this Christop.... dude. Look I answered another question like this. The Bible is the oldest known history book, its the only book that scientist and history majors CANNOT prove wrong it has wars and people that were actually alive in that day. Just like Moses, He was well known in Egypt and still is. Tell me can you prove the Bible wrong? if you can please email me I would like to know. But what I'm trying to say is if the Bible has all this stuff in it and it is all true then why wouldn't God exist? How could he not exist? the Bible is his word right? So if his word has been historically proven then how could he not exist?

Answer 3

I had a near death experience in which I believe I heard the voice of the Christian God. This does not prove it to anyone but myself though. It also changed my perspective on God. I've since become a Pagan and am studying Witchcraft and believe there are many different God's and Goddess's. Of course in the Ten Commandments the first one is thou shalt have no other God's before me. If you want to believe it this implies that there are in fact other God's but as he states many times in the scriptures he is a jealous God. Before that near death experience I was a good LDS boy. I read the Book Of Mormon and the Bible regularly and served a successful mission. After that near death experience I guess I rebelled against the Judea Christian God to some degree. But I do know now for myself that he exhists. I heard his voice and it shook all through me. I just can't prove it to anyone else.

Answer 4

Nothing that supports the existence of god. Nothing that disproves the existence of god.

Answer 5

When I was 26, the mobile home I was living in caught fire and burnt to the ground. I and my live-in boyfriend, thank God, were at my parents because while we were visiting with them it snowed really hard and they asked us to stay over.

I was having moral issues about living with someone, having sex outside of marriage, etc... and we had begun a dialog about getting married in the summer....

Long story short, while we were cleaning up the debri inside the mobile home (literally everything was trashed!!) I had a bible and plastic glow-in-the-dark rosary I had put in the bottom drawer of a dresser under some sweaters. When I got the drawer open, the sweaters were charred and melted all together, but underneath the PAPER bible and little rosary were undamaged..... This was definitely when I realized that God was thniking about me, still watching over me, loved me and I went back to Church again.

Answer 6

When I was 8 my gran died (she lived in Scotland and I live in Australia) I had an out of body experience and was talking to my gran. She was comforting me and letting me know she was no longer in pain. I was surrounded by white light and an overwhelmingly intense feeling of love which I believe was God. I did not want to leave but my gran told me it was not my time.The next morning I told my parents my gran had died and she was with God. A few hours later my papa called to tell us my gran had died.
I believe God is a loving energy rather than an actual being. My whole life since then has been a search to reconnect to that God energy. I have been lucky enough to acheive this a few more times through meditation.

Answer 7

From the experiences in the natural world, I have seen both support and refuting evidence of the existence of god. All of us have vested interests in our own beliefs, in which we will find evidence to support our faith and predispositions. If there is a Cosmic Good, external to the natural world, there is only speculative and arbitrary evidence for or against that presumptive principle.
Ambivalence.

Answer 8

god made my car radio work once. One day I was having some particularly effective prayer time ( I felt as good as I've ever felt.) Then I left to go somewhere and the radio that hadn't work in some time worked like new.

Also he woke me up a couple of times that I fell asleep driving. Once it sounded like someone hit the top of the car with pipe wrench. Second it was like some yelled my name. Both times I was alone in the car. Fortunately I don't doze when driving anymore. If it did happen I'd pull over

Answer 9

Nothing will ever disprove the existence of god. It is impossible for anyone who is not omniscient to know for a fact that there is no god. On the other hand, there is just no factual evidence at all that there is a god either. It is strictly a matter of belief.

Answer 10

When I was younger, i believed there was a God, and although not always fair, he was there for us My sister believed in Darwinism, and of a stronger race of people than another, (more genocide than color). She is gone, and some world events take place which prove some of her specific arguments, she foretold and wished for the end of AIDS, (live carefully, and pray for the end of AIDS) and believes it was brought on by laziness of one race depending on America and its citizens to fully embrace their culture and practices, including our women, to provide a life for them. There are other races out there, all going through the things she said they would, and I prefer to watch it unfold (for the best, I do hope for world peace) and as for outer space, we will keep quiet about it, for now (it is there at their choosing, and our mistakes) As I said earlier, she was a beautiful, interesting person and sought knowledge and answers to life far beyond where a woman would go. She left one son, and believed because of him, she will someday return. God was disproved almost immediately following her departure, and she sought his safety first before the other paths she took. She wanted to avoid condemnation for her knowledge and a secureness for the feminine aspects of this planet. It is becoming apparent her struggle is taking place on this planet, where women are persecuted, some women are gaining knowledge fame and acclaim, some women are learning to help their own communites. She was a Virgo.
God could not follow her thinking, as his judgment was too harsh for a woman, except a forgiven "lower" woman, and place women of power only as the producer of someones children or a relative of someone. Rarely, did any woman serve except as an agent of mercy for someone. God would allow for the suffering which has taken place, although if man followed the reasoning and warnings given in our lifetime, there would be less hardship, and much less disease and suffering. Our own doctors won't provide the medical treatments already available, which would end much of the homelessness and domestic strife which we live with today..
People have become like animals, wrongly believing the stronger they are, the more knowledge they possess. This leads to an economic disaster, which I really hoped and prayed we would avert., and with our military securely trained at home, we may suffer less. People have forgotten to be kind and merciful to widows and their children. They have begun to take on qualities of others as their own, before giving these young people a chance of their own life, and there will certainly be the consequences she so rightfully acknowledged. They are her blood relatives, whose lives and futures she valued as her own.
