Its no different than the questions I get asked from day to day in my line of work. Some of the questions seem silly but many people are dead serious when they ask em.  People without God or a limited sense of God have these goofy ideas about him.  All you can do is answer em and hope like heck that they get an understanding.\nNow you do get some smart mouth fools just trying to get a rise, so they ask really dumb insincere questions.  When you get these you just gotta answer em as if they are real questions.

God is a big question in a lot of people's minds.  If they're searching for answers, let them search.

This is the religious forum, it's called religion and spirituality. Why start another forum when this gets more hits than someone's unknown blog? How else would you use freedom of speech unless you are discussing words? Seriously, we like the word, the word is good. But what point are you trying to make here? That people ought to be inclosed and not speak to each other? Do you get it? Or are you just fed up from hearing about it? I already mentioned why this place is better than a blog. If it's tiring why are you here? As for the questions, most of the questions have nothing to do with spirituality, most of the questions have more to do with retards asking stupid questions than anything spiritual (just kidding whatshoudIdo, I actually find your gag funny:). I don't read the bible but am interested in what people have to say about it. Spiritual and religious questions have always been answered but always need an answer, kind of like, how can we make the world a better place. The second you stop asking is the second you stop being human.

lol,,No, God is not annoyed with questions.  Jesus tells us to come to Him as a child,...and children sure do ask alot of questions.  I do believe that God is getting pretty annoyed with ol satans yap though.  satans been sitting there before God accusing and pointing fingers at us and saying see see see God at what he did, see God what she did.  God will put an end to satans yap yap yap in heaven soon when Michael boots him out to this earth again.  At that time there will be sweet silence in heaven cause the big mouth is gone,..but WOE to those on earth.

I am a christian.  And I respect you and what your trying to do.  I think it is always good to ask questions.  People should be ope minded about Christianity.  Telling people about God does not make them bad, not at all!

Hmmm. Hi. Perhaps my perception on things hasn't been explained clearly enough. I apologize for that. Here is, in short, what I do and don't believe:\n\nThere is no such thing as a god. To me, the concept of the existence of a deity (besides being unproved and absurd) is just that- a concept. And a misleading one, at that. To me, it's a lie.\n\nI do not worship the christian devil. Hell, I do not even believe in it! To me, Satan is a reflection of humanity. You are your own god, and are free to accept it or not. Satan is not an entity, it's a force, it's in us. It's our vital force.\n\nHave fun, and be tolerant.\n\nBy the way, when I say Satan's spawn, it doesn't mean I believe I am the child of your devil, it means I am the Satan, as it is in me. It's sometimes also meant to shock. Depends.\n\nHappy, now?

I do my very best to put Him before anything else.  I do love God.  Feel free to contact me through the link on my profile page.  Praise God!!\n\nI also put verses and thoughts out there on my 360 page.  As soon as the link is restored by Yahoo (for some reason everyone's link to their 360 page has been removed) you should check them out and see what you think..I would love some feedback on them.  I only started them a few days ago, so there aren't many.

Question:  Does God truly exist?\n\nAnswer:  You won't know for sure until you die.

GodShew's questions are usually unintelligible. I've stopped trying to answer them. \n\nGodshew, if your questions were clearer, we'd be happy to answer!

I find it hard to comment on this, because it is clever, well scripted and I suspect the questioner at some point had a belief in the Christian faith. I would agree with all your assertions, taking hombrage with the claim that you created earth. God is in all of us and are all of us. Ambiguous messages from organised religion are the bane of humanity.

"If God is good and all-powerful, why does evil exist in this world?"\n\nTime to bust out the big words:  Theodicy.\n\nTheodicy:  "an explanation for the presence of evil and suffering that is consistent with the nature and character of God."\n\nBoy, I'm not sure where to start.  There's so many points to make and I'm not sure how to organize my thoughts....but here goes nothing.  This is my theodicy:\n---------------------------------------------------------\nFirst, let's start by defining "evil."  Evil is not a force or a created thing, so it would be faulty to use the circular logic that either God created evil (meaning God isn't good) or that God isn't the Creator of everything (since He didn't create evil).\n\nEvil is the absence of good, much like rust on a car.  God, by giving us free will, allowed us to "create" evil by choosing against Him.  For, if God is good, then to choose against Him would by evil and the consequences would be death (since God gives life).  Just as darkness is the absence of light, so evil is the absence of good.\n\nSometimes evil is the perversion of good.  Cancer is a good non-moral example.  It's a harmful mutation of otherwise healthy cells.  Whether evil twists good or flat-out rejects it, the results are the same.\n\nEvil is not God's fault.  He created only good and we distorted it, which is evil.\n\nEnough on this topic.  I'm leaving a few loose ends and there's much more to say on this, but I would be getting off track.\n\nSecond, let's point out a major implication of the question.  Anyone who asks our topic question for today is demonstrating the influence of Christianity on western thinking.  Hindus don't ask this question.  Animists don't grapple with it.  To them, the gods themselves are evil and corrupt and evil is to be an expected, embraced part of this world.  Suck it up and live with it.  It's the ying and the yang.  The Dark Side and the Light Side of the Force.  It's still the same Force.\n\nBut by asking the question, you are saying that there is a definite "evil" in this world that can be defined and identified.  There's something wrong and not right.  There is injustice.  And you presume that whoever this God fellow is, it's supposed to be His job to oppose this stuff and He's doing a lousy job.\n\nThis is a Christian worldview:  that evil is not normal and should be opposed.  The Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc. are Christian influences in our society.  There is something in us as human beings that desires to fight injustice, help the suffering, etc.  This would make sense if we are made in God's image... but I'm getting off track again.  Let's move to the third point.\n\nThe question is usually vague and impersonal.  What I mean is that people who ask this question usually have in mind for God to go over and fix that mess in Iraq, or do something about sweat shops and child labor in China.  Why doesn't He oppose child pornography, or hold to account genocide in Africa?\n\nBut they don't want God to interfere with the sin and evil in their own hearts and lives.\n\nSee, for God to come in judgment, He would have to be fully just and judge all...  and this brings me to my final point.\n\nThe question neglects another key element of God's character.  Yes, He is good.  Yes, He is omnipotent.  But He is also merciful.  This may seem like a contradiction (i.e., why would He then allow suffering?), but let me explain.\n\nGod holds back His judgment with patient love in order to give us time to repent and be set right.  The painful side of this is that we also then have more time choose evil.  But the day will come when He will judge the earth.  The sweat shop owners will be held to account...and so will you and I.  God is good.  He is perfect, holy, and righteous.  He is pure.  He opposes evil.  We all have evil in our lives:  the t

I asked too, and was told he has always been present, which scares me and answer a lot of questions.  I guess he was around forever.  He was the one who created everything like, dinosaurs, etc. So I guess he got better along the way and created man and we have been here every since.  WOW!  I never thought of it that way.  Still confused, I am on a mission know.  To be honest I don't think we are going to get a straight answer because that will prove the true existence and challenge everything that we believe.  Imagine what would become of the world if we found out this was all a farce to keep most of us straight.  It is because of religion that we are doing okay today, of course man has rules. laws, and regulations for the ones who are non-believer's and the slackers. That would open up another Pandora's Box.  WOW!

I agree with all those above.   How about adding "Can god create a rock so heavy that even he can't lift it?"  or "can he create a burrito so hot he can't eat it?".  I'm an atheist and totally sick of those.  \n\nI'm also pretty sick of a lot of the Muslim bashing questions here.  They seemed to have finally slackened somewhat... so maybe that one is passing.

I'm not defensive, i just want you to read this \n\n\nhttp://everystudent.com/features/isthere.html?OVRAW=God%20existence&OVKEY=existence%20of%20god&OVMTC=standard\n\n\nit has overwhelming info that should help you see that there has to be a God, because this world is no accident

Wow, I am amazed at the responses you've gotten so far.\nWe keep hearing about how people who don't believe in God are supposed to be so much more intelligent than those of us who do, and yet, all we here from these educated people is that you should go to school, or read a book...in other words, they can't answer your questions.\nGee, and even when they admit that they can't answer your questions, they throw in an insult, just for good measure....\n\nLooks as if you've hit a nerve, my friend!!

I think religious people are just under-educated.  I was raised in a strict Lutheran home, and I sounded just like all the religious folk on this site when I talked.  I went off to college and learned a lot about the world I live in and gradually drifted away.  I still believe in a God of some sort, I'll even go as far as saying I still believe in the Christian God, but I will never again subscribe to any organized religion.  There are just too many questions the church has no good answer for, and as an educated person, I need answers.  I think if everyone branched out and learned about all the things they could, there would be far fewer religious people in this world.  It's easy to soak up everything a pastor or preacher says to you if you don't know any better.
