Tell me if im wrong [about god and existence]?

We've all been through different life experiences.  My experiences are different from my fellow Christians.\n\nWe have free will.  We may not be able to choose our experiences, but we can choose what we think about and how we react to those experiences.\n\nGod holds us accountable for what we can control.

God is everything and everything is God … the world is either identical with God or in some way a self-expression of his nature.\n\nEverything that exists constitutes a "unity" and this all-inclusive unity is in some sense divine.\n\nEvery existing entity is, only one Being; and that all other forms of reality are either modes (or appearances) of it or identical with it.\n\n\nYou are evidence that there is hope for mankind yet.  \nPeace and Love Be w/ You as You Tread On Your Path to Enlightenment

You compare different issues:\nSince god does not really exist, except in the minds of believers, god can't be anything, including fool!\nMan, believing something non existing is an idiot!

I exist.  I just burned some energy typing this response.  I received this energy by eating bacon, sausage and a egg for breakfast along with a cup of Delmar tea which originated from a place I have never visited - Ceylon.  \nNo one needs to prove God exists.  God is.  If you have faith then you know God exists and if you don't then you don't.  God never asked for proof and never indicated that proof could be found.  \nThis creation is way to complicated and special and fascinating to just have happened.\nI live in paradise.  I just heard a tui singing in my back yard that agreed with me.\nI still think you need to go out and meet some interesting people and live a bit of life.\nCome and visit New Zealand.  It will blow your mind away.

Read this article and decide your self ...\nAn atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....\n\nProf: So you believe in God?\nStudent: Absolutely, sir.\n\nProf: Is God good?\nStudent: Sure.\n\nProf: Is God all-powerful?\nStudent: Yes.\n\nProf: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?\nStudent is silent.\n\nProf: You can't answer, can you?\nLet's start again, young fellow. Is God good?\nStudent: Yes.\n\nProf: Is Satan good?\nStudent: No.\n\nProf: Where does Satan come from?\nStudent : From...God...\n\nProf: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?\nStudent: Yes.\n\nProf: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?\nStudent: Yes.\n\nProf: So who created evil?\nStudent does not answer.\n\nProf: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?\nStudent: Yes, sir.\n\nProf: So, who created them?\nStudent has no answer.\n\nProf: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?\nStudent: No, sir.\n\nProf: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?\nStudent: No, sir.\n\nProf: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?\nStudent: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.\n\nProf: Yet you still believe in Him?\nStudent: Yes.\n\nProf: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?\nStudent: Nothing. I only have my faith.\n\nProf: Yes Faith. And that is the problem science has.\n\nNow the student said can I ask something to you Professor.\n\nStudent: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?\nProf: Yes.\n\nStudent: And is there such a thing as cold?\nProf: Yes.\n\nStudent: No sir. There isn't.\n(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)\n\nStudent: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)\n\nStudent: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?\nProf: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?\n\nStudent: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.\nYou can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?\nProf: So what is the point you are making, young man?\n\nStudent: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.\nProf: Flawed? Can you explain how?\n\nStudent: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?\nProf: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes,

God doesn't exist, to me.

I understand that the thing that people have called "God" doesn't exist and it is really a small portion of something so great that it is all encompassing. Knowing that it is all encompassing I know that I cannot comprehend it and no word can describe it.  Therefore, any text about it is incorrect and makes it less than what it actually is.  What it is is just meant to be observed and appreciated but never spoken about.

I don't feel that I need to prove my existence and I'm not nearly as powerful as God is!\n\nThe world is a big place and I live in Kansas City.  I'm not sure where the people reading this question and answer tree live, but it's pretty darned likely that I have never met any of them.  Do you believe that I exist?  Is this posting "proof" that I exist?  Could it be faked?  Sure.\n\nGod has sent us messasges through prophets.  God has worked miracles.  God has spoken to many of us.  God has answered our prayers and still people say "there is no proof" -- why is that, I ask.  Why is that.

The universe...\n\nIf anyone else tells you they know for fact what comes before/after this universe is just plain wrong.\n\nThere is nothing to suggest God, there is everything to suggest the universe... Hmmm i wonder which to pick.\n\nBlind faith sounds appealing and all, but i'll go with experience, fact and logic: the universe.

That depends on what you mean by your question.\n\nAre you asking specifically about things God has done or things that happen.\n\nIf you believe that everything that happens is God's work, then NO.\n\nAbsolutely not.  As for specific works of God, you would need to be specific.  I would need to know what works you are attributing to God to comment on them.

Good questions!  I like good subjest matter.  God is not some bug eyed monster up in the sky.  Why would he be all hateful when he needs us as much as we need him?  We do have free will, and i can do whatever i want because of it, but heres the rub, i was created by something with a view of the bigger picture.  So by virture of where i was born and my personality there are huge sections of human reality that will never even occur to me to do because of who and what i was made to be. Example : kiss my boyfriend, you betcha!; eat chocolate covered ants, hell no!

I could be wrong but to me it dosnt much matter!My belief is that our god both yours and mine created us with our own strenths and weaknesses we overcome are weaknesses and build upon our strenths and we attempt to fulfill the purpuses of our uniqe creations!!Meaning we each were created for a purpose known only to our own gods and we attempt to acheive that purpose and at the same time better ourselves!!

My dear Friend , God is A Big Fact .God is great and generous .Look how he has arranged the world for us to live in , even a   single change in his decision can make the world collapse and destroy. Every thing in the world , the birds , animals, air, water, mountains and everything is the evidence for his existence. We need to prepare our mind to explore and don't be prjudist.\n       Definitely by his grace you can experience his presence every where.\n With love shaaan

Amitha, I would guess that, like most people on answers, you are not looking for an answer that will challenge your beliefs, you are looking for an answer that will confirm your beliefs. So I give you this answer instead.\n\nYou are clearly an intelligent, well-educated person. It is OK to have faith in the perception you have of the world. The answer to your question comes down to faith.\n\nIF you choose faith, then you will easily support the idea that the Universe was created by God (especially in the absense of scientific proof the the contrary), If you don't choose faith, then you have already rejected God and the possibility that the Universe was created by God.\n\nWhether or not God created the universe, YOU choose your reality, so you get to choose whether or not God created the Universe.\n\nBig responsibility isn't it Amitha? But like I said before you are an intelligent and well-educated person. You are entitled to trust your judgement.

I know that, in my world, God exists. He, however, may not exist in someone else's world or, if he does, he exists different to him/her than me. I love God and hope that I am not led by blind faith.

Yes, if you didn't question His existance every now and then, then I would have to question whether you believe in Him or are just following what others have told you to believe. Questioning is a part of being human - curiostity, you must think logically and a lot of matters to do with good are not always logical, but I think that these matters are outside of our realm of understanding and I figure that it may be for the best. So yes I believe in God (don't really fear Him as much as some people) but I think it is healthy to question His existance to create a better, stronger belief.
