Is There a God?

Having a relationship with God is like having a really solid friend continuously by your side and that is fulfilling.

If it makes you feel good then so be it. But one could have a relationship with a imaginary friend that makes them feel good, but this wouldn't mean that the friend actually existed.

What I would like to know is - how do you feel that in the time it's taken me to write this post, your 'friend' has allowed hundreds of children throughout the world to die, either as part of his plan or because he chooses not to save them? Surely that makes him evil?

Well if you did ask him I am almost most certain that you wouldn't get a response.

I wish I knew the answer, but I don't. Simple as. I don't profess to know everything about the mystery I believe in. There are so many things in the world that beckon the question "Why would God allow this to happen?". Although I can't authoritatively give a reason, I feel it must make sense along the line somewhere. Generally, I don't think about this - why? My faith is purely a personal 'venture', if you like. I get on with my bit and try to avoid thinking about massive issues. I'm not the person to ask. You know, I've questioned my faith over such issues, but can't help but believe. God's existence just makes sense to me.

This is not God's doing. It's man's doing. God gave us free will.

If you believe this, of course. If you don't, that's no problem :)

You don't understand squat either but you sure like to talk a lot, just like her. It must be a believer's sickness.

So you think that anyone else but god could start new life after the Earth is destroyed? Interesting concept for a believer.
