does anyone else feel that answers regarding god?

Yeah, basically.  Hence one of the reasons I believe in neither.

No but I have heard of that. I think my uncle had that feeling when he was little...it was in a dream but he felt something different. Whenever that happnens, I think it means u have a very special role in life with God. This is from my point of view. Some people will not believe you and some may say that you are crazy BUT I believe you.

i ask myself that everyday....i know I'm not doing everything God would have me to do...i still fall short according to the bible...but i think he may be somewhat pleased that I'm trying and pushing and getting to a point where I'm letting go of weights that hold me back....you want to know that you are pleasing God.

I believe in God in spite of some Holy Books.

Yes I do. But I don't believe in religion, because religion generally preaches intolerance and attributes human traits to god, which I think is inaccurate. I do believe that a loving and beautiful entity created us, and that it is "god" or whatever you feel more comfortable calling it. But I believe many things, using a mixture of logic and instinct. My instincts tell me there is a presence that loves us all. But that is just my simple understanding. Any suffering that we feel is our own creation, so the argument that "why would god cause pain" is an inaccurate argument. God, I believe, has infinite patience, and that is why we cause eachother pain without being stricken from the earth. And that is why I think that the atheist logic is flawed as well. Both sides use either the bible or "logic" to either bring down or deny god for their own agendas. Both sides use emotions, mostly anger; anger at god or anger at those who deny god. Please understand that I am not trying to bash anyone, this is just people that I have known personally, not everybody. Suffering is an emotion, which is a blessing and a curse, to quote a cliche.  With true enlightenment can come love and happiness, and for me that enlightenment is my bond with my creator. I feel happier than I have in years, and it gets better every day that I allow it inside. Every time I try to understand another human being and their pain and joy I think that things are more clear to me. I used to be agnostic, because of my anger at god, but one day, I just realized that my pain didn't have to own me. God is not something you can logically prove, or logically disprove, it is just something you believe one way or the other.

Yes, but this is not as important as God believes in me. For I can imagine any kind of a God or none at all but as long as he thinks of me I continue to exsist. This can not be said of all people. I am an orgininal thought of God, very unique and there is none like me on the earth though there be billions with my form. He has spoken to me a few times and he is more real than I am, for I am just a thought of his

Not me, I am not completely without faith but I am still too confused on that subject to go either way, so I just dont think about it, but I could really care less how anybody else feels as long as they dont push their religion on me or lack thereof.

Oh, I am so happy that I am not the only one that is weak in this.\n\nBut alas. . . we must stick with what we have chosen.  Our suffering for these 40 days is nothing compaired to that of Our Lord on the cross.  I think of that and somehow, I don't feel so weak.

I've been on the other side where I thought that people who didn't believe in god must feel lost.  (I was raised to think they are evil.)  So, I can kinda understand why some religious individuals think that non-believers feel some sort of void or are immoral.  However, I also view that stance as an immature belief.  It doesn't take a lot of looking around to realize that agnostics and atheists are very content with their worldviews and live ethical lives.

I'm the type of person that needs absolutely everything proved to her.  Everything.  But I've found there are two exceptions...god and love.  Sure I can dissect the reasons why I believe in both, but what it comes down to is I simply *feel* them both.  I'm not talking about blind faith here.  It's sort of...instinct.  A gut feeling, if you will.

Yes, I definitely believe in God.  I have a quote I think of a lot...it goes something like this:\n\n"When you take a look at the human body and look at the unique design and how everything works together as such a perfect machine - you have to think...who designed it?"\n\nSo that might not be the exact quote...but it gives you the basic info.  :-P

I see that someday I can be like Him and feel complete joy and peace and a love  you have never felt before Love that takes you above this earth,To be able to love everyone that has lived, who is living, and who will live...and to know that the Savior wants us all to achieve this...to never feel pain again just feel strong and whole and never  wanting because you are filled and whole forever...God is love ,love is power

I wish I could answer that with a Full Yes or a Full No but the thing is... I dont know! I chose to Believe in Good, and  I Chose to believe with my Heart. I know those are 2 things that have never let me down before. I wont believe everything I hear, or see because my heart, soul and spirit controls me... If its something that God himself wouldnt do or believe then nor would I.... That may sound stupid but its the best I can answer... Im sorry:(

I hear you, brother. I feel the same way. I have been praying for four years now for God's will, and God's will alone. And I also ask him to help me grow in faith. But when it comes time to ask for something specific, I sort of cower, because I feel so entirely unworthy.\n\nI have spoken with other faithful Christians about this, and what some have said has helped me. Some have said that we're not worthy on our own, but that Christ's blood has justified us. They have told me that if you ask God for something, and say, "If it be thy will"--and if you mean that--then it is okay to ask. God will either provide or he won't, depending on whether or not what you ask for is what he wills. I have also been told that God does indeed like to give gifts and blessings to his children. He is our father, after all--and so we are "allowed" to approach him and ask for stuff. If he sees it best for us, he will provide, and if he sees it as harmful to us, he will not provide.\n\nEssentially, God won't do anything that God doesn't will...obviously. So what I do is continue to seek his will, and I also ask him to teach me how and what to pray for. The key here is developing your relationship with God. And I think the more that God teaches me how to pray, the better I come to know him and myself in relation to him. That is, my unworthiness is based in a number of things, but one of these things is a fear of God--which is a legitimate thing. Fear of his awesomeness, might, and his righteous judgment...very reasonable to fear such a God. It has historically been sort of daunting for me to stand in the presence of such might and ask for something...and hence the feelings of unworthiness. But I think--I think, not know--that God does want us to come to ask him for things, because this deepens the relationship and better teaches us who he is and who we are. If that makes sense to you at all.

I can almost feel the Christian's inward-thinking brains spinning out of control trying to come up with an answer to this!

I am an atheist or an agnostic depending on the definition of God one starts with.  I do experience very deep emotions about the world around me, and I in fact feel an affinity and a connection to a religious denomination called Unitarian Universalism, which is open to people like me, and which tends to eschew the mention of God in its services.  I suppose my affinity to that denomination says something about my moral values: I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every human being.  Also, as an atheist, I am fond of Judaism, simply because of the old adage according to which atheism is but a branch of Judaism, not because of any particular religious beliefs orthodox Jews may hold.

I have found that the answer to our prayer is a lot closer that you think. You can not pimp God. He is sovereign. He will answer your prayer. Maybe you feel like he's not answering you 'cause your focus is on the answer and not him. When you put your focus totally on him and continue to live a life that is pleasing to him, your answer will be sitting at your feet. Focus on God and getting all the mess people can't see like envy, anger, hate, jealousy, covetousness, and the list goes on. We are all a work in progress, but when we take the time to build our relationship with him, instead of asking or "praying" for things, all our desire will be met. Now don't get me wrong, pray.... ask God for what you want and need. Just be prepared and ready to accept ,if he say not now or NO! You are not crazy or confused; life and death are in the power of the tongue. You are Godly person seeking Godly wisdom. Focus on you and everything will have changed because you have..............When what's important to God becomes important to you then what's important to you becomes important to God!=) tRust God even when he feels far away because you know he is always there never to leave you nor forskae you....BE Blessed
