This is a true story about a guy who was down in the dumps in his life, his marriage, his family, nearly broke, and he started asking God questions about all kinds of things you can imagine from suffering, to sex, to how to fix his life, and some pretty amazing answers were shown to him….
You can buy the “Conversations With God” series, starting with the first book through to book three or four i believe. It’s pretty interesting take on everything happening in the world.
Another really good book to read is “A New Earth” by Eckart Tolle.
Really quite philosophical and informed.
I hope these can at least give people a new understanding of life here and beyond.

But how do u know 100% sure that God is real?
By faith alone?..well, faith can sometimes = living in ur made-up wish, escapism, fantasy, and illusion.
So again, how can u know 100% for sure that these things is real??
But nevertheless, thanks for the info though,
looks interesting, will check ’em out tonight..
Very good question ….one thats been asked over thousands of years.
Firstly, just have a good look around your bedroom/study now. Look for objects, any objects, even your computer thats staring right at you.
Now i think we can both agree in a rational way, that “somebody OR something” made everything you see around you right? You don’t know who they are, when they likely made it, or mostly likely even how, right?
ie you can see creation all around you, via physical proof, that someone/something made an effort to “actually” make everything. You don’t however know its origins.
Now have a look outside, from the smallest flower, insect, to the sun, to the infinite planets, solar systems, stars, galaxies, so so big Earth is the equivalent of a grain of sand if you combined all the celestial bodies out there.
So you can see all creation around you ‘if’ you look carefully agree? Someone/Something must have created it all by there mere existence of it all no?
Its through sciences that we endeavour to ‘try’ understand all creation by taking small steps.
So a universal creator is a complete given, it’s not a belief, its actually something that no rational person can even deny. What we can argue about is why/how etc … thats the job of religion/philosophy and all sides present some very good and some not so good perspectives – i say not so good because their viewpoints can be pulled apart by basic reasoning/rationale/logic.
Does that make sense?
It’s a bit like this ~ just because you and I don’t exactly know how to put together a piece of steel with wires, metal etc to make a flying plane, doesnt mean others do not know more then us.
The universe & creation is a bit like this. Just because we (as humans) don’t know how creation was put together, doesn’t mean another higher life form (or the creator(s) dont.
Make sense?
@adastra: hmm…that make sense..a lot. I like ur explanation. Thanks for sharing it!
I believe that if you have a two way conversation with god, you need medication.
If you believe that someone created everything, you must then ask who created the creator. You can go on endlessly about who created who.
If you have a one way rant to god, that is more healthy in my opinion. It would be like talking to the universe or even a psychiatrist. Often asking questions out loud enables you to answer your own questions rather than relying on someone else that does not know all the circumstances or even how you feel.
Of course if your angst is caused by external circumstances over which you have absolutely no control, then that is a different story entirely. I can identify with that scenario one hundred percent.
Thanks for sharing this. I, too, used to not believe. I used to ignore God. I remember many times I was one of those that chose to not believe and told others to not believe. Now, others tell me to not believe, but I don’t listen to them. Be deaf to the world. Listen to God.
Interesting – I used to believe and now I no longer do. I cannot reconcile how God can allow the depths of suffering that goes on in the world, especially to those that have unshakable, blind faith in Him. One can always “rationalize” how God wants this or tests us with that – I simply disagree – it’s all situational randomness to me. I think when we “feel” God has “spoken’ to us at our most desperate moment – it is actually INSIDE us that the answer was found (if it is found) – we finally “see” outside the framework of the norms that we have been aught and learned and we grasp at seemingly implausible solutions – only to find that sometimes, SOMETIMES, in the face of all that we know – it actually works! We justify that with, “It must be divine providence – God’s Will” … just as man has done since the beginning of time. Man has used God as the answer to the unanswerable.
And THAT is OK. Belief and faith is GOOD. I know when I whisper a prayer that I have been taught to do in my childhood, that God will “answer” – it may not be the answer I want. Why is that? Well, I could have the same results if I asked my lucky quarter the question and then flipped it – not nearly as exotic or interesting, but the result is the same.
If there is a God, and he “answers” with the same with the same consistency of a coin flip, then either there never was a God, or he is a cruel and unsympathetic 12 year old. That said, that does NOT mean that the teachings of the Bible don’t have merit there is much good that can be learned from the Bible – but it is STILL a book written by MAN.
In some ways I wish I still had that Faith that some have – in other ways I am glad I am no longer bound by it.
I “believe” my dogs would like a Pupperoni and they have “faith” that I will give it to them – I “must” be a god to them – but the truth is: WE are GOD 🙂
You are gods. It is written, and also Jesus said it.
Suffering is not God’s work, it’s the work of men.
If God gave us free will to choose what we CHOOSE, then He can’t JUST END SUFFERING, because We CHOSE to CAUSE suffering.
The Bible is a book written by men through divine inspiration. That’s why you must study it, and learn the message in between the lines.
To animals, you are God. This kingdom all around you is given to you by God.
We cannot begin to understand and question God’s work. If you have lived for all eternity, and may do as you please then how can you understand him?. In the same way how can a butterfly understand you?
More rule breaking I see. Might as well join in. I consider myself atheist. However, I concede science has not proven that “God” can’t exist. Although the definition of the term God is very debatable. I believe a higher intelligence may exist on a higher plane or level of existence. I’ll even concede a higher intelligence could have played a role in deciding the evolution of man. But I wouldn’t be so quick to call a high intelligence God. Overall, There’s no evidence one way or another… Scientific absolutes are few and far in between.
What I can’t believe is the highly contradictory God of the bible (the one the Christians, Muslims, and Jewish people believe in). On whole, the bible is garbage but a very good fairy tale. To me, this “God” is on the same level as Santa Claus and the Easter bunny.
Man judged the “Word” of God and “chose” what “belongs” in the Bible and what doesn’t – there are any number of apocryphal texts that were excluded because they didn’t “rate” based on man judging His word – I find that blasphemous. I also fin it strange that if God has been doing this “for all eternity”, he would have worked out a few of the kinks – God has long been considered the “answer” to that which we cannot explain … until we CAN explain it … then it was “God’s Will” that gave us the earthly mortal answer.
I do NOT deny your faith – I just don’t share it, and I admire it. But I do NOT choose to “cause” suffering, directly or indirectly. I am keenly aware of how some of my choices can affect others – and in that self revelation it has truly changed my from being selfish to selfless. But yet I suffer – and I did not choose it but you explanation would suggest that I suffer at the hands of someone else’s choices – people who I have never know and will never meet have made choices that caused conditions that cause me to suffer – which brings me back to – If God has been here for eternity, you’d think he might have a way to insulate or at least ease the suffering of those who choose to employ His Word and Will from those who choose to defy Him.
For the record – just because I do not Believe in God does NOT mean I don’t see the wisdom of the Word 😉
Do not believe in men, but believe in God.
@Vicious – where is the “rule-breaking”? Nothing hateful and no methodology = legal topic discussion 🙂
Thank you brother for your words. I realize that in its due time your questions shall be answered. I did not believe, and now I believe.
I hope you are right, CJ, I truly do – I am not closed to finding faith again, but there is so little left to believe in anymore. When men of God can commit some of the most heinous acts to his fellow man and simply say a few “hail Mary’s” and all is forgiven (supposedly) … that, my friend, makes a mockery of the whole concept – and that goes for ALL religions – all of which I find disgusting due to the way they all twist His Word to benefit their ideology – again, please don’t misconstrue my disdain for organized religions as disdain for pure faith, which as I said before, I admire
Hey,
Some insightful replies by all. Agree with some points, less so for other points, but that’s okay too and pretty normal.
As i said before, and i will reiterate, I don’t believe in a creator, I know there is a creator, by simple virtue of thousands and billions of lifeforms, stars, planets, moons both here on earth and beyond.
If it exists, someone/something created it, much like the clothing on your back. It too came away from a far place and you don’t know who made it or how (so to speak), but it’s mere existence proves someone we don’t created it.
Same for all the computers, routers, cabling, satellites etc.
It all works part of a complicated system but most of us likely don’t and probably never will understand to deliver ‘a simple moving picture’ – we just happen to call it TV. Seems pretty simple, but look at all the people, the effort, the study, the different kinds of expertise it took to create & run it, just so people can get a simple “moving picture”.
Few see the background that is there in existence (eg same applies for the entire universe), they only blindly, or short-sightedly, see the end result – in existential terms, ourselves, the earth and thats about it.
Their mental picture (level of understanding), knowledge, even wonder doesn’t extend beyond from what they see with their eyes and the little they were fed in highschool.
As i said and agree, religion and philosophy has merit (even though i don’t agree with many specific points) in so far as it “attempts” to make sense and provide people with a worthwhile direction in life, beyond maybe the easy, superficial ways many take.
To achieve anything worthwhile and of value, takes human effort, be it religious understanding, scientific understanding, good governance, a good business, or just general depth of understanding. But many are ‘encouraged’ thru poor teaching to ‘take the easy’ road, and then when their fruits are little or less then others, they become discouraged. You can change things like your attitude around in life anytime, “IF” you want?
As for the eternal issue of suffering and God, again remember, religion is “man’s interpretation” of how God acts/is etc. It has positives in some areas but also flaws in its understanding.
I do like and i ‘think’ understand what JC was saying or trying to. If you look carefully, he didn’t encourage people to just wait around, but showed thru example to go help your fellow man whether thru feeding them, giving them comfort, shelter, support of kindness where others wouldnt.
He associated with prostitutes, lepers, little kids and older people, outcasts.
Today there are still some amazing Christian based (and non) charities (eg World Vision, Red Cross) & hospitals that “make an effort” to help the less fortunate.
I don’t see religion as reading books everyday or weekend and then expecting miracles (other than insights) to happen. Religion is a guide book – is it well intentioned? yes. Can it be improved by embracing further understandings? Off course.
Vicious Circle, i see you’re taking a part relativist / part modernist approach.
For me it’s simple, if creation exists (which it does in time & space, even science can’t dispute this?) then a creator/s created it.
Same as your computer. If it exists, its mere existence, concludes, ‘someone; must have made it, even though i don’t know its full origins nor how etc.
“I am keenly aware of how some of my choices can affect others – and in that self revelation it has truly changed my from being selfish to selfless.”
Nicely said Qrs, many don’t have that level of self awareness :). Well played.
Which God are you talking about anyway,I believe man made the gods and historical texts can prove it.If it’s keeping you from suicide good luck to ya
qrsdawg,
Do not believe in men, but believe in God.
Men are fallible. We fall all the time. We become slaves to our earthly desires all the times.
It is through God that our spirit grows, and we are able to break free from those chains.
It is not about rituals of saying hail marys or our fathers. It is about penance through CHANGE. Deny your old life, and live your new life in God. It is a process, where you will FALL, but will get back up again.
God is source…the source from which everything comes, including us. We are an extension of Him in physical form…God from an acronym I saw means the Generator, the Organizer, and Deliverer of creation. Along with that to perceive what and who He is through our human filters is quite the challenge as words can not convey…unconditional love works for me though.
Noom, did you read the entire post? I have said quite clearly all religions are MAN’s interpretation of God and eartly life and an intention on how to live life. All have positives and negatives within.
Religion is mans ‘attempt’ (ie not perfect) to understand something higher then itself.
Deadright ~ just because you/me/we don’t fully understand who/how/when creation was created, dosnt mean it wasnt does it?
Poor science deconstructs everything to its basic core, but cant put it back together again, because it lacks the understanding.
Good science deconstructs something to its core but is then able to put it back together again, because it has understanding.
You seem to take the ‘deconstructinist’ viewpoint eg who made this and who made that but are unable to put the jigsaw back together again.
The fact, not my opinion, is that creation exists in time & space yes? Someone/something created it, as is evidenced by its existence. Any Creation implies a creator(s), even science cannot dispute this. This holds true through time, it doesn’t change.
Just because i don’t know who or how someone made a supercomputer doesnt mean there is not someone evidently more smarter & intelligent then me (and you) out there who can. same applies to the universe. Just because you don’t understand who/what/how, doesnt mean there is no creator(s).
To imply against a creator in the evidence of universal creation is otherwise illogical yes? You can argue till the cows come home whether it is good/bad/indifferent. That is not my arguement here at all. Never was.
Humans have a functional ability to think & do, many choose to not use it.
softsoul, i really like your post ~ clever acronym… and i agree, unconditional love works best for me also, but few are able to do this … even sometime, let alone all the time.
where did you get that acronym?
Not your post cjs.
The mysteries of the universe are not fully understood yet,but I don’t believe there
is some god like creator and is in control of it.We are here by random chance of what happened after the big bang
In you analogy of the super computer – there is evidence and records that leave a trail for you to find the original creator of the machine if you choose to – conversely – in order to get to the Creator of the world/universe/multiverse etc. there is scant evidence of any single creator being (which does not DISprove it either) … it would just seem to me that after “all eternity” all we have to go on is a few third hand accounts written on rock or papyrus … additionally when the Dead Sea Scrolls were found they used some of them to reinforce what was in the Bible and totally discounted other stuff in the scrolls. I find some of the ancient alien theories (NON-scientific) more compelling and believable than the whole “invisible bearded guy in the clouds” theory. But that’s me and I am NOT trying to change anyone’s mind or destroy their faith.
Okay noon, i want you to be highly logical now, as you seem scientifically biased, as am i.
You have two options presented before….
1) A higher intelligence or if you prefer a creator(s) created creation – billions of stars, planets, life forms, etc
2) Or two, An explosion created everything intelligent?
Must be a pretty smart explosion? Ive never known explosions be they big or small bangs or gradual bangs to create ‘anything’ smart or ‘working complexity’ which is what the universe is.
Off course, this begs the question, who made the explosion lol.
Big bang idea is so poorly a constructed intellectual arguement that id rather believe in the tooth fairy lol…and im scientifically biased.
I want you to go throw a granade at something “randomly”, and tell me what exactly you will create that can be considered to possess complexity & intelligence? a Building? A Dog/cat? A home? A Planet? A working sun? These things do not happen “just randomly” but by intelligence.
Nope, big bang is complete and utter nonsense and i have a physics background, i just choose not to be brainwashed by the ruling establishment who values conformity over thinking, be they religious, political, or scientific establishment.
Remember, all three are “man made” attempts at creating a framework for understanding and operating and all three are proven wrong time and time again ‘if’ allowed.
Bit like the whole global warming nonsense & media whipped drama. if you suddenly disagree with them on rationale grounds, you’re a heretic, cynic, ignorant! It’s the same ‘tools’ they used in religions and politics when u disagree with whoever it is in power.
I finish with simple rationale – did a higher intelligence make the computer, satellite? All would naturally agree and say yes. All intelligent complex working functioning pieces.
Or did or can a mere explosion make them?
Likewise the universe is far far far more complex and intelligent then humans can even fathom, and yet an explosion made it all?
*lol* … sorry my intelligence won’t let me believe nonsense, be it religious or ‘so called’ scientific.
epic fail.
Ironically, it was a belgian priest who first proposed the idea of a big bang.
Asking questions will always get us further then accepting current answers.
Qrs, scant evidence of a creator?
*lol* at some guy in a beard … lool, i don’t believe that nonsense either.
That was just the ancients attempt at trying to express their thoughts. Discount all that and ask were they right on the simple premise that there was a higher creator/intelligence of the universe, then mere man?
As for evidence of a creator – have you looked at the complexity and sheer scale of the universe? Evidence is all around you, we just can’t understand it, or worse choose to ignore it.
Last night I wrote something on here but then deleted it. You seem like a nice person AdAstra but you’re playing word games here.. and you’re insulting the intellect of anyone who don’t share your faith.
The most I can take from what you said is that events have causes, what those causes are in many cases are still unknown maybe even unknowable.
Yet just because we live in a vast universe (and we don’t know everything..duh! we’re trapped on in 1 out of uncountable billions of galaxies) doesn’t mean there’s a sentient creator… to me your ‘creator’ will be much like the ‘creator’ of diamonds… how wonderful and complex a diamond is… right? Well it was ‘created’ with heat, pressure and some carbon… no overseers required… no higher intelligence required.. just blind forces.
Oh and the big bang wasn’t a mere ‘explosion’, at least know what you’re mocking.
I don’t mean to be rude, but your creator argument is not new or refreshing, it’s fancy dress for faith… which is fine.. but please don’t insult the intellect of others for not sharing it.
Thanks to all brothers and sisters for your words. I realize that in its due time your questions shall be answered. I did not believe, and now I believe.
@qrsdawg Read the “Read first” on the home page. No spreading the gospel……
@Vicious – You mean this: “This is not a place to preach the gospel.”?
Talking and debating God’s existence and the benefits of faith are a far cry from “preaching” – now if I were to Berate you for not heeding the 10 Commandments and tell you how you “NEED” to follow the “Word” to the letter or you’ll burn in hell… THAT would be Preaching.
@AdAstra – Do you see the complexity of the Interwebs? Proof, PROOF! I tellz ya that Al Gore Invented it!! 😉
Could there be a higher intelligence somewhere in the Universe? I think it is very likely. There’s too many stars galaxies and planets for there NOT to be other life – and probably a lot of it – and if that is the case then there is likely to be higher forms of intelligent life who may have even created us. But one “Creator” of ALL things? I ain’t buying it … no, I don’t think there is a singular all encompassing being that waves a wand and says Poof! “Azaleas! – how cool and complex are they?” That’s just not “evidence” 🙂
No sir – I disagree that as amazing and wonderful as all the plants and beings are in this world, that ONE Being sat down and dreamed it all up then went to His workshop and created it all in 7 days … or even 7 million years.
I really like how both sides are allowed an option on here.
/sarcasm
Qrs,
Off course “the creator” doesn’t wave a magic wand and say Azeleas….THATS JUST PLAIN SILLY. Don’t you know anything? He says, ABRACADABRA! 😉
ps i don’t necessarily disagree with you either Qrs, im just saying one simple fact ~ creation byt its existence requires some form of a ‘creator(s).
As Humans, we are imbued with relative higher intelligence (beyond just feeding our own stomachs, but i do wonder sometimes) and it is our choices that guide us through life, be they poor or informed.
I believe religion is in part “man’s first” written knowledge base from which they sought to teach others. As with all knowledge, it too must evolve, but all religions hold a singular premise, that is the exietence of something higher and more knowledgeable THEN OURSELVES.
if only i could make an entire sun out of nothing ~ i could be deemed a god and i would have so many followers i think, happy days :))
LMAO – ‘he” doesn’t Say – azaleas – he MAKES azaleas (a type of flower) … either way the concept of a creator is absolutely plausible for early man who’s conscious awakening struggles to explain the unexplainable (at least to date). as man’s intellect and intelligence and understanding of the universe grows, it becomes clear that the things that were unexplainable and attributed to the grace and awesomeness of the God du jour now have a bona fide rhyme and reason that no longer requires a god to produce … there’s a trend that’s growing and shift what was one “unknown” and is now “known” and I see no reason why (if we don’t nuke ourselves out of existence) eventually man will learn the answers to all the unknowns and make a need for a god (to explain creation) functionally obsolete.
Disclaimer: Nothing I have said is proof or evidence that there is no God – If you believe in god or the Creator, I admire and respect your beliefs but I do not share it
I find all the discussions here to be very interesting.
if I may add a bit, have any of you ever heard of “God’s spot”?
heard/read it from a scientific journal that it’s actually located in one area of human’s brain,
the one that always seems to seek the ‘spiritual’ things..
ALL humans seems to always, at one point of time in their short earthly life, gave a serious thought about this “God” questions!
even people as atheists (& agnostics) also have also at least several times must’ve thought deeply about this (especially nearing their death, I’ve also read/heard, because that’s where humans are the MOST vulnerable, as humans!).
Although I’m now quite an agnostic, with background in christianity, I do still find this verse from the Book of Ecclesiastes 3:11 to be very relevant, and also still somewhat amazed me when talking about this topic, it’s said there:
“He has also set ETERNITY in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to.”
and I’m sure it’s not just christianity, but also in many other so-called religions, and spirituality.
My point is perhaps: these are all perhaps clues to tell us SOMETHING…to lead us to the ‘Truth’ that perhaps, this ‘God’s spot’ thing is also the ‘Key’ to discover more about ourselves, as humans, whom -I agree with @adastra – are somehow ‘given by birth’ relative higher intelligence BEYOND just feeding our own stomachs…
Perhaps indeed, humans are *something* MORE than what we’ve been ‘brainwashed’ all this time by the worldly institutions entrapping us nowadays..
it’s up to each of us, to keep seeking the Truths,..or living in Ignorance is Bliss mindset (like majority of people in this planet)..

niki,
I am thankful for your comment.
I do believe there is more to us than just this existence here, and now.
I think when we die all is left here on Earth, but you take your spirit with you, and all the love you gave.
Okay my personal belief, is that everyone ‘at some time’ tires from the trial and tribulations of everyday life, and some “searchers” for a better term, seek a higher then everyday earthly understanding/pespective…in fact scientists/philosophers do this everyday. Religions are no different, or more acurately, those behind them, the catalysts, were pretty much “the searchers” for ‘a better way’ in their day, as we are in our day.
Lab Rat,
I didn’t intend to belittle per se atheists/non believers etc …
But let’s compare applies with apples.
As a framework for thinking…. the universal rule of everything…and i do mean everything….physical matter & intangible matter (eg thoughts) is a derivative from a derivative….and this holds true through the test of time and space, agree?
You said, “to me your ‘creator’ will be much like the ‘creator’ of diamonds… how wonderful and complex a diamond is… right? Well it was ‘created’ with heat, pressure and some carbon… no overseers required”.
On the contrary …. you seem to have a some appreciation of the workings of physics…so i would argue a diamond, or a pretty rock if you will, is no where near as complex as say a working sun, a planet, or a solar system, or the human brain/heart.organs or dare i say it, a watch that tells the time.
To say a mere diamond is the same or possesses the same intelligence or complexity as any life form, simply isn’t comparing apples with apples.
That said, the entire universe (past, present, future) is run by “invisible principles” (ie intangibles) that ALL affect/impact the physical universe. Science simply labels these scientific laws. All science is doing is discovering what has always existed (or has at least for a very long time).
ie in summary, my premise is “the invisible”(intangible) affects the visible (tangible). The basis for all religions is pretty much that something invisible controls everything. In simple terms, they are 100% accurate.
My defense is not religion or rituals etc per se, as i said there is some good and some not so good, rather my defense is that creation requires a creator.
You say ‘forces’, created a diamond, and i obv don’t disagree, but i would argue who is not to say “the creator” is not some kind of force/energy, as many have implied? Afterall it takes A LOT of energy to create an entire universe, let alone a self contained sun.
Don’t get confused because some people cannot clearly express their ideas with words to mean they are wrong. eg: when a lay person says God is all powerful, well scientifically speaking, the energy ruling the universe is al powerful, and so they are implying God has a lot of ‘energy’ – they don’t use words like thermodynamic energy or black holes/entropy etc etc ….. how we choose to classify this we leave to physics etc. But in effect, they are likely talking about the same thing using different words.
“…yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end” …Ecclesiastes.
Pertinent point niki ….nice1.
It’s the intangible that rules the tangible, for so it is written.
AdAs
The Universe is far more complex then we give it credit for. I won’t argue it’s good or bad, i’ll leave that to the religions and philosophers, but you can’t escape the simple premise, creation requires a creator. Our job is to understand creation, ourselves and our place in it, for better or worse. I see life as a test, with hurdles placed in from of each of us. Some fail to start the race and give up vefore they even started, some approach the hurdle cautiously, some run fast paced at them and get hit, but try again until they can easily jump over hurdles placed before them.
“Being” positive is the “first step” (only) in a better life. It’s the starting point.
“Doing” something positive is the “second step”
Doing this over and over is how you choose to live your life.
Life is not about how you are born (at the beg) or how you pass (at the so called end), rather it is ‘the in between bit’, of how you LIVE your life everyday.
Life means living daily.
try take that on board.
some good comments/post both for and against ….
