Is there God? Do we really feel him today? Can someone wake up and find out?

NO, God is something that someone made up to give people a reason for things that happen. anything good god did. anything bad the devil did. whatever. Things happen, that's life. I stopped believeing in god and absolutely nothing is different in my life. except for more time on sundays, and no more deciding whether the things i do are "right" in god's eyes. This belief helps keep some people in line. it is all psycological, or in your mind.People think if you don't believe in god you will go to hell. what if you don't believe in hell or satan. will he hate you to? There are all types of religions that do nothing more than give us something to reason with how the world started.

you many not feel thunder and lighting, but you will start to change , you will have a peace in you that wasnt there before, and the more you seek Him, and read the bible, and talk to Him, the more and more you will feel His presence. it is an awesome feeling that comes and goes, because of our lives we sometimes get farther away from Him.  and we dont feel His presence as much, although He IS always there.  but thru prayer you will definately know........

It's interesting...you say you have come to the conclusion that there is no God... but it seems you are still searching.  Maybe you want to believe in something bigger than yourself, but with all of life's tragedy it seems that the world is empty and devoid of a higher power.\n\nOrganized religion often paints God as an all-powerful male ruler.  But maybe God is something different.  The universe and all its beings are made up of energy, particles vibrating at different speeds.  Maybe God is really a culmination of all this energy-- both positive and negative.  Many people believe that the universe is like a boomerang... you get back what you put in.  This means if you project fear or anger out to the universe, the universe will return the same negative energy to you.  On the contrary, if you truly feel love and security, you will transmit that energy outwardly and will receive the same energy in return, which will eventually manifest itself in real life events.\n\nIf you think of God as collective energy that includes all things, that would mean we're all little parts of God; more powerful as a whole than as individuals.  This would also mean that to hear God, we need only to listen to our own inner voices, however they may sound.  You might try focusing on changing your own energy, then joining with others to make small positive impacts on the world.  Maybe then you will make peace with your own version of God.

He is OK. God loves him and knows that this world sometimes is just too much to take.\n\nSadly, the world is missing out on a sensitive person who could have changed things.

He`s not dead...is he?

I shall not say God is real. However, you shan't hear me say that he doesn't exist either. I am waiting for proof from either side(besides the Bible).

I feel no one can say better than this about God.\n\nWho is God?\nWho has been remembered as the Ocean of Love, the Intellect of the Wise, the Almighty Authority, the Comforter of Hearts, the Truth, The Living Being and the Blissful One?\nGod Says:\n I am the Ocean of Love; \nI show you the path of love. \nMy love remains unbroken and constant. \nI cannot forget even one of you. \nI have so much love for you,  \nand My love is unconditional and unlimited. \nI am the Beloved.You have been calling out to Me for a long time. \nWho Is God?\nWe are used to knowing things by seeing them, hearing them, tasting them, touching or smelling them. Most of us have grown up in a ‘seeing–is–believing’ and ‘hands on’ culture and we are used to perceiving things in that way. Because we can’t see, hear, taste, touch or smell God, the question arises – is God for real?\nOne can reach out to God with pure thoughts and be connected to Him. The soul experiences the response of pure feelings and spiritual strength. God is truth itself and thus can be recognized with the eye of truth.\nGod: The Supreme Soul\nLike us, God is also a soul. Unlike us, He is referred to as the Supreme Soul – the only soul who never takes a body (gross or subtle, human or angelic) of His own. He is beyond the effects of actions and is never subject to the dualities of birth and death, pleasure and pain, success and failure. Being beyond the limits of time of this physical world, He retains absolute knowledge of the universe and all its dimensions.\nWhere is God?\nGod lives, not everywhere but somewhere. A thought of God almost always takes the eyes upwards, as though one is perhaps expecting a face to miraculously appear from behind the clouds or to beam down from the moon. Thoughts are powerful. They link one soul to another. If they are properly channelled, thoughts can even go where only the soul can travel – beyond the moon and stars to a dimension of golden red light, the original home of all souls. Immersed in the experience of the warmth of this light, the soul feels as though it is truly at home at last, and with God.\nGod – The Spiritual Sun \nLike the physical sun, which gives light and life indiscriminately to all beings, God is the Spiritual Sun, giving light to all, whomever and wherever they may be. He serves altruistically, without any selfish motives, reminding each one of their innate qualities of love, peace and happiness. This is why He has been remembered in some countries and cultures by the name Shiva, The Benevolent One.\nGod’s Wisdom, Love and Power\nPeople may wonder why, if God exists, He doesn’t wave a magic wand and fix things, making or at least influencing everyone so that they do exactly what they ‘should’ do. But God never takes away anyone’s freedom of choice. God’s wisdom is to recognize and respect each soul’s individual identity, freedom and inherent goodness. God shares knowledge – a profound understanding of the dualities and dilemmas of love and hatred, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, etc. – but He does not make our choices for us. The soul is free to choose ‘to be or not to be’, ‘to love or not to love’. God’s love strengthens the soul’s will to free itself from the distresses caused by vices such as selfish desire, anger, fear, ego and attachment. God’s power helps the soul to recognize its highest potential and to aim for perfection by practising the art of simple living and high thinking. Such practice by a significant number of souls eventually brings about positive change in the whole of humanity.\nWhen you learn to tune your mind in meditation to the mind of God, then whatever the situation, you always have a source of help and strength to draw upon – an infinite reservoir of power and virtues that is only a thought away

This is the time for much prayer. With a name like Blessed2006, I'm sure you know what I am talking about. Ask God to just take away the feelings that you have for him in that way. Ask Him to deliver you from the pain that you feel and replace the pain with joy, peace, and happiness. Be honest with God. Sometimes we feel that we don't have to go to God and tell him what's going on with us simply because we figure he already knows. Well, that is true. He does already know. But, he loves it when we talk to him and pour out our hearts to him. This lets Him know that we acknowledge Him and that we need someone to help us in a way that only He can.

Absolutely, 100% YES! Sometimes you feel alone and you feel that God might be ignoring you, but I bet that if you pray and talk to Jesus you WILL feel Him in your heart. Remember the Footprints in the Sand story, that when we feel our lowest it is then that Jesus is carrying you. It might sound hokey and to let you know, I am not a bible thumper and I do not attend Church on a regular basis, but I do believe in my heart and soul that God is ALWAYS with us, it's just that we don't take the time to "hear" what He is saying to us. Just listen.

I don't know. This single reality has shaken my faith severely! Even national tradgedies like 9-11 and hurricane Katrina cannot compare to this absurdity.\n\nWhen you see Jim Belushi on television and think that it could be John Belushi that's when you look to the sky and ask "Is there really a God? Are we alone in the universe? Does anything make any sense anymore?\n\nBut we have to accept it and carry on. No matter how severe it might seem to us now. We have to believe that there might be a reason we just cannot comprehend or understand.\n\nMy sincerest sympathies and condolences,\nLuke

You know what?  God enjoys nothing better than when we actually WANT to know!\nASK HIM to reveal Himself to you.  Tell him you want to KNOW FOR REAL and to KNOW FOR YOURSELF.  Tell him everything you're feeling, man.  i.e. " I don't even know if I believe this",  "I feel stupid talking to something I can't see",  "I can't believe all the stupid crap I've heard",...\nwhatever.\nIf you really want to know, just ask.  And then back up baby, cause He's fixing to blow your mind!\nROCK ON!

Do you really think anyone on Yahoo Answers has the answer to what many philosphers have been trying to figure out for thousands of years? Ehh... I'll try.\n\nI have spent countless nights trying to get some sort of answer myself. It's really hard for me accept that there is a God though. Either that, or it's hard for me to accept the God that my parents tried to drill into to my head since I was a baby. (They are fundamentalist Christians by the way. the outrageous ideas make me sad that there are more people out there like them.)\n\nI think there might a God because it seems very unlikely that such a complex life could have happened by accident, or by an explosion of matter. The way that DNA is constructed, cells, and just the way that the human body functions seems all too perfect for it to happen by some random chance. \n\nHowever, I as I said before, I don't know if I could ever believe in the Catholic or Christian God. Supposedly, God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. That means he is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful. I'm sure that you are well aware of the sorrow, suffering and pain that a billion people feel every day due to war,starvation, genocide, poverty, and most importantly evil. If God was all-good, he would not allow this to happen. If God is all-good, but he can't stop it, that means he is not all-powerful. If said God is not all-powerul, then he cannot be God. \n\nGod cannot be omnicent or all-knowing, because humans have free will, and those two are contridictory. One might argue that everything needs a creator. Even the Universe. Something cannot create itself. So God created the universe, but who or what created God? \n\nPerhaps there is a God, but it is likely that all of those rules, and dogmatic views that Christians teach is not accurate. The texts of the Bible have been PROVEN to be altered by numerous kings, who put into it what they wanted. Similar to how George W. Bush is running the country based on his morals. I don't know, you decide.\n\n The answer will probably never be solved, and people will always be kept wondering. I believe in God, but I don't believe in organized religion.\n\nRead this, you would find it interesting. It's a converstaion between an ordinary man and God. Good read.\nhttp://www.fullmoon.nu/articles/art.php?id=tal

I will be praying that Jesus will reveal to You that He is real - He is alive.  Experience over-rides the words written in mere books.  I know Jesus - He is awesome - hope you get to know Him too!!  Psalm 14:1 & 53:1 ... The fool hath said in his heart that there is no God ...

Well I'm not sure.  I was just  saved on Sunday.  But already I feel my old witchlike ways beckoning me.  If I return to the craft, I hope I am still saved.  Praise Jesus.  He loves me, his righteous followers and washed us clean, amen ;).

God has set up a void in our hearts that only he can fill.  We are made up of spirit, soul and  body.  The spirit part of us longs for the things eternal.  God has already tugged at your heart drawing you to Him.  Ask Jesus to open the way for Him to reveal Himself to you.  For those who seek Him with all the heart shall find Him.  God bless you and reveal Himself to you.
