Does God truly exist?

If so, prove it. If he does exist, why has 'he' done NOTHING to help our world in times of need. Most events some call 'miracles' are not gods work at all, but merely the miracle of life. If god truly existed, he would at least HELP with wars, starvation, ruthless killing, deformities, disease, drug addiction, retardation, suffering, poverty.... the list goes on and on. This so-called god has not lifted a finger to aid us, and yet sooooo many belive he is truly there. Ever hear the quote, "I sell phony goods to people of meager intelligence and great faith"? That applies. Think about it

Zeus hates people...

Soon, every knee shall bow.

Be patient.

Which one? Jehovah,Brahma,Ormazd? You have to be a little more specific.

he helps you every day. you are alive aren't you? well? by your own reasoning!

well how come wen in ur life things r the best erryone"decides" God isnt there and he's not real, but the SECOND something bad happens like war or something they RIGHT AWAY blame GOD, did u ever 4 a second think that mayb erryone deserves this and God is punishing erryone 4 their ways nd 4 them partying nd doing retarded stuff, wen world peace comes around(whihc prob won't) cuz hopefully the Lord is soon to come, no one would even dare to blame God 4 dat, it's always 4 the bad things huh

Prove to me you exist. I have never seen you. I have never talked to you. No one I know knows you, and they have never seen you.

You have done nothing to help me, or my friends. I have never heard of you on the news doing anything either.

Prove to me that you actually exist.

Prove He doesn't. You can't do it.

God is not a God of proof - He is a God of faith. Try it sometimes.

One awful day you will have more proof than you could ever hope for or need. Trouble is - it will be way too late to change your ways.

Gods exist only in the minds of believers.

I have a friend, 50 years old, who went to the hospital for "routine" surgery, went into cardiac arrest and became comatose. Tomorrow they're taking her off life support. She was a devout Catholic; she will undoubtedly have a funeral mass where her grieving friends and family are going to, what, thank god for taking this woman who never hurt anyone? I can hear it now: it's all in his plan. That's some great planning there, god. Religion is utter BS; how can anyone with a brain buy into this nonsense?
Edit: Wow, Shane, that's a brilliant argument. I prove my existence by writing this, by responding to you; my fingers press the computer keys, and they cause the computer to type. You can measure my heartbeat, my brainwaves, you can take a photograph of me. If you were in the same room with me, I could spit on you, hit you or hug you. It's not difficult to prove something exists when it actually does. How come it's so difficult to prove god exists, if it's really there?
Edit: I notice none of you are even addressing my question about my friend, who will die tomorrow. Or was that her free will, to be taken from her family because of a medical mistake?
That's it; give me thumbs down. And thanks for your very Christian sympathy on the loss of my friend.

oh hear we go again--He has NOTHING to prove to you--i think it's the other way around

God Has done so much for us even if he does nothing else he has already done more then alot some people don't realize how bless we are. We could be in alot worst conditions then what we are in.

God has been protecting us so much if you knew the things that he has protected us from it would blow your mind. It's just when something good happen people say oh but when something bad happens people are so quick to turn their back on God and be mad and curse him and all. He has been helping us it's just you have to open not only your natural eyes but yors spirtiuak ones as well this goes so much deeper then the natural.

If God did not exist, all of us will not be here trying to speculate whether he exists or not.

Life was not meant to be easy. It challenges all facet of the human personality and spirit to the most intense degree. The world is full of serious problems, that are not being addressed. We are suppose to contribute to, making this world a better place, and we are not doing so well. Pain and hardship, along with comfort and pleasure, are all parts of the experience of life. One can get tough and learn to handle the rough side of life, and get motivated to improve on these unpleasant conditions. God is the universal spirit that holds the universe together, as one. God did not create perfection, but made a world challenging to the maximun degree. We are responsible for the conditions in this world. God can guide and inspire us. We are capable of doing a lot if we would only live up to our fullest capabilities. People who have not had their spiritual senses dulled, by the excessive materialism and over indulgence in our society, can feel God presence. Logic has to work with assumptions. Assumptions come from our senses. Somethings we just know exist.

You asked this same thing here.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Then you also asked if Christianity is the cause of all our problems. What is it with you?

Did you forget that you did? What are you trying to prove?

Saying the same thing over and over is called SPAM. It's not a good idea to do that.

yes, i can proof u!
as i can easly seen from yr post, u just mentioned those 'bad times'...but, what about all the days we are kept safe, what about the air we breath everyday??What about the water resource we used eachday?? what about all those good time


what about?? what about???......

let me tell u the reason i quoted the 'bad times' above,...all the things u mentioned as bad times, r they REALLY bad times?? for those of us who believe everything happen for a reason, for good reason, nothing can happen just by chance....

the PRIMARY FAlSE assumption u have taken is, u ,THE WEAK person, try to judge GOD...How can it is possible to see the full image of an elepant for a rat sitting on his body????...u don't have the BIG eye to judge the ALMIGHT GOD ...u have Broken eye, not capable of even seeing days and light....Come to GOD and get the right visa!!!

try this out:Pascal's Wager is a classic example of a choice under uncertainty. The uncertainty, according to Pascal, is whether or not God exists. Belief or non-belief in God is the choice to be made. However, the reward for belief in God if God actually does exist is infinite. Therefore, however small the probability of God's existence, the expected value of belief exceeds that of non-belief, so it is better to believe in God. (There are several criticisms of the argument.)

The mystical scriptures of Hinduism can give some logical answers.

Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"

God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva.

This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.

In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.

Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.

That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.

This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.
