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?
Non-believer's case:
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 case:
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?

Without any doubt!!! God DOES exist!!! I believe in God unconditionally and He proves His existence to me every day filling my heart with hope and certainty. He has never failed me.
I was raised a catholic, and even though I do enjoy going to mass and find real comfort in praying, I find it hard to 100% trust men's interpretation of God and God's will, for it will always be driven by men's interests. So I don't think that any religion is better than another; the begining and the end, the alpha and the omega, of everything is God. Religions and religious practices are men's interpretation and respond to men's interests.

Just as every god that man invented that precedes the current crop, this version is just as imaginary in the minds of gullible mankind.
To expand - all gods are fabricated for a reason. Those reasons have diminished with the advancement of science and education and civilisation. There is no longer any need of an imaginary father-figure to protect us from disaster but the myth is perpetuated. by indoctrination of impressionable children.
All religion is fake and is a virus in the minds of the weak. The gullible will WANT it to be true and will convince themselves and their unfortunate offspring that it is so. Sad.
ALL the evidence available to us tells us that gods are imaginary. Only by ignoring logic, reason and common-sense does the concept appeal to those who need such a crutch to be able to cope with life and death.
The reality is less rosy but those of us with a fully-functioning brain are able to sort the wheat from the chaff and cope with reality - and benefit greatly from doing so.

God can be interpreted in different ways. I am a Catholic but I am not religious in the sense that I never go to church or read the bible. But I consider God to be the balance of all things in "my" world, and my surroundings. I don't consider God to be a deity but more of an "ideal" of goodness, whereas "Evil" is the mere lack of the latter. My interpretation of God is very spiritual and philosophical to the point where I have trouble describing my beliefs.

I believe in God because of the hard evidence he exists: in the order, beauty and irreducible complexity of nature and the universe, man's superior intelligence and moral conscience. Is it possible for this irreducible complexity to have happened by chance? Not a chance!
But the most incontrovertible proof of his existence is no other than Jesus Christ, the Image and Word of God and the REVEALER of God our Father. He was sent by his Father not only to save and reconcile mankind. He was also sent so that men may come to know God. What human can …
Silence a typhoon?
Walk on water?
Multiply a few loaves of bread and fish in order to feed a multitude of 5,000?
Bring back dead people to life?
Give sight to people born blind?
Change water into wine?
Rise from the dead?
These miracles prove beyond any reasonable doubt God exists. They demonstrate Christ's power over life and death and the forces of nature. Only a God can have such powers.
And if these miracles were just made up, Christianity would not have grown by leaps and bounds in the first century. His disciples would not have risked their lives for a bunch of lies. Many people witnessed these miracles. The resurrection of Jesus cannot be silenced because more than 500 people saw his resurrected body. (1 Corinthians 15,6)
Peace and every blessing!

NO. God was created to explane the unexplainable. Man was always taught to survive and to kill anything that it was afraid of . You know what is funny each religion tells that it is the only right one and the others are wrong and the question that I asked is arn't they looking for the same thing . All religion is , is a scare tactic to make people be submissive so it can rule . I think religion is a bunch of crap.............

Yes, He does. I do not have to prove it, God has already proved it and all I will do is show you how. It will be then your decision to accept or reject the evidence.
The existence of God as well as the Bible being the Word of God can be proved through the vehicle of prophecy. To see the evidence of this, we must first establish the fact that God is a spirit who dwells outside of our physical time domain--that is, in eternity. In the Bible, God describes Himself in Isaiah 57:15,
"For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit.'"
If God dwells in the realm of eternity as the Bible states, then He must be able to declare future events as if they had happened in the past. We who live in the physical restraints of time and space have the disadvantage of seeing the world according to a timeline. But God sees the past and the future as one complete picture.
"Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure,'" Isaiah 46:9-10
So through the vehicle of prophecy, God throws down the gauntlet to all the other "holy books" and all the other "gods" that dare to claim the title. The God of the Bible challenged in Isaiah 41:22-23,
"Let them bring forth and show us what will happen; let them show the former things, what they were, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare to us things to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; yes, do good or do evil, that we may be dismayed and see it together."
OK, there is the challenge from the God of the Bible. No other book contains prophecy that has been fulfilled with accuracy. Some would say that others twist scripture interpretation to make prophecy "appear" to be fulfilled. A silly notion, seeing that so many of these prophecies (that were fulfilled to the letter) were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls--written many years before fulfillment. I have written one study based on one chapter in Daniel. In it can be found 16 in-depth prophecies regarding the rise of Alexander the Great and the subsequent rule of his generals afterward. I have paralleled the prophecy with the fulfillment from historic literature. You can find the study here http://www.schneblin.com/studies/pdfs/literal_fulfillment.pdf
This study only covers one chapter. There are hundreds more regarding the coming of the Messiah, the calling of Cyrus the Mead by name to allow the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem, and the re-establishment of the nation of Israel. See the list of prophecies at this link... http://www.konig.org/page3.htm

Do you think wind exists? Prove it. You can't see it. You know it is there by its effects. Likewise, I believe without a doubt God exists. I see His work in all he has created, and the fact that Bible prophecies have been and are being fulfilled attest to my belief in God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. John 1-1:5 what separates Christianity from all other religions, we serve a Living God that guides our life through his holy spirit. Jesus is Lord! just ask him to reveal himself to you

I have had too many prayers answered to have any doubt. I know for a fact that God is real. He is the one true God. People of all religions are looking for the same thing, and we are all His children, weather we believe or not. God Bless You.
