queenannie38, I am simple but not that simple. May all of us have a little bit of the spirit of the fictional but conceptually awesome Santa Claus this Christmas season. In addition to family and friends, maybe we can give to the truly needy this year such as the foodless, medical-care-less, shelterless, clothesless, blind, deaf, mute, sick, ill, diseased...
God Bless!!!

and i shall be until i come across/have shown to me some real evidence that god exists
i understand faith in people that i know, but i don't even have any reason to believe that a diety exists, so i refuse to have faith in it

I was not speaking of you, directly, my love! And it was more of a philosophically ironic observation, nothing more. I probably shouldn't have said it, at all.
Sorry if I made you feel bad or feel targeted - I truly didn't mean to! I love you!

One simple answer: We threw it all away, in the Garden of Eden. There was a time when he did these things, but we threw it away. Eden was heaven on earth, perfection.
God doesn't fail us. We fail God!!! We fail God by not feeding the poor, not clothing the naked. This is not God's responsibility, we made it ours when we decided not to listen to him.
Never cross God unless you expect or want punishment.
God is Spiritual, and He never Spiritually fails. Humans are frequently materially-oriented, and they always fail materially. Only by embracing the Spiritual world, can we enter God's world and always succeed at what God commands us and live Eternally.

madnessinmysoul, I believe you will reach the day where you will believe in and love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength more than any human in history. You will reach that day.
I was an atheist, until 11 years ago when "lightning" struck my brain. I have been an incontrovertible believer in God ever since. And He never fails!!!
God Bless!!!

yeah....
i spent the majority of my life as a theist
it made 0 sense to me then, as it does now
so, i'm about 100% sure that god doesn't exist
and i'm 90% sure that the historical figure jesus of nazareth didn't exist
sorry, but i'm never going to buy into religion

because that's how it sounds to me
create beings, force them to repay you for something they didn't ask for
if they don't pay up, have some guy torture them for eternity

Yup. Since you are such a firm beliver. He should have atleast assisted you on this forum in proving his identity. He could have maybe shown some divine sign. But heck no. Here you are trying to prove the power of the almighty while he (if he exists) is just chillin in his crib and not caring for the trouble you are going through. Looks like he failed you.
