Explain your relationship with God, or not. Is it in spiritual reality, emotional reality, or material reality? What is the defining moment, or the realization that Source does not exist, or exist.... Why do YOU believe?

What was your defining moment?

In my observation we all hold the same faith within our hearts.

You have seen stereo type replies. People do not know God so they do not believe in Him and hence their replies are devoid of substance. I know God, because I think and ponder.
I looked at trees and they looked like a boquet of flowers. I looked at moon and it appeared so beautiful. One day I caught a butterfly and all its colour came to my hands. I realized that his beautiful world could not have come into existance without caring mercy of a Supreme being. I looked at a bunch of grapes and it showed immense love with which
it was made. The cloud dutifully distribute water resources and sun and moon alternate at fixed times during the year.
When I was a child, I used to get up early in the morning. And then I would wake my mother up to prepare breakfast for me. For every second my mother took I was impatiently waiting for the food to be ready, seeing fully that if she was not busy
in cooking for me, it would never by ready. I am a grown up
person now, but still realize that if a caring being was not their running the system of clouds and harvests, there was no
way I could get my food.
So it is all sensibility. Some people are devoid of sense, so
they deny God.

"Explain your relationship with God, or not. Is it in spiritual reality, emotional reality, or material reality?"
All of the above. In a nutshell: When I listen to him spiritually I get spiritual -and- material results, and I emotionally thank him.
"What is the defining moment, or the realization that Source does not exist, or exist"
When you meet him you know it. That's the defining moment. The day he comes in, cleans house, and changes who you are from the inside out. You don't just feel different, you are different.

My relationship with God is spiritual, emotional, and material in all aspects either can carry.
The defining moment for me is looking at the picture in my room I have up of Jesus Christ every night before I go to bed, when I wake up, and always any other time I share my moments with Him.
I believe because it is who I am to be a Faithful believer in my Saviour.

An agnostic, I believe that the existance of a god can neither be proven nor disproven at this point of time. I live my life under the assumption that god does not exist because most proof points to that.
However, I am a spiritual person, in a sense. I like meditating in hopes of having a spiritual epiphany.

My relationship with God is with him as I would be with someone physically present in front of me. The defining moment for me came when I was genuinely seeking to know Him more, and through spirit He came to me while at a Youth camp. It was something that I felt within me that was so undeniable there was no doubt what had just happened to me. As I learned more about Him I realized and understood more and more what He is about, and how I fit into His master plan. Everyday there is a reminder for me, whether I heard, saw or even felt reminding me that He is there at all times with me. Seek Him, and you will find Him.

As a pagan I believe in many gods and goddesses, BUT I also believe they all lead to the same thing. The One. The One is far too big,too immense really for us to ever understand so humans break Deity up into little pieces. You have Jehovah, Jesus, Allah, Pan, Dionysus, Zeus, Diana, Kali (my choice of Goddess)
There is no beginning or end to what is God. God is outside us, inside us, and everywhere we can and can't go. God is everything and everything is God.
I have "seen" Kali in meditation but for me She is more of a feeling. I feel her inside and around me.

it took me years to believe in God. there was no defining moment for me. i studied various religions, and i was convinced that the Bible is true.
After i believed, i've had amazing spiritual experiences, which i do not want to recount before a mocking audience.

In spiritual reality, God existed before any of us. And He will continue to exist after the whole world is gone. He will endure forever, with His love. Because of His love, He has forgiven everyone, you and me, of our mistakes and sins that should have condemned us to hell. But He forgave us and all we have to do is accept His free gift of grace and repent and believe in Him.

It's about trust. It's a relationship where I trust Him, and He responds to me in His many various ways, but always with love. He teaches me, comforts me, gives me hope, He even taught me to have love for Him like David had. And that's saying a lot.
The defining moment is when I gave my life to Him. I started to trust Him, and He let me know He is there by baptizing me in His Spirit. Apparently He REALLY wanted me to know that He is there.

I don't believe in God. I was forced to do bible study with Jehovah's Witnesses that always said the things I did weren't things God liked. I had religion shoved down my throat. I don't believe in the bible it could have been written by everyone . "Virgin Mary." Honey, you have to have sex to have kids. Jesus is made up, God is made up. Everything was made up. We're here because we are. A person in bible study told me that god was here forever. Well, how was he created? It's stupid. Religion is not for me.
