There is an afterlife, which is why human beings are so consumed by it. God does exist which is also why human beings are so consumed by a higher entity. Our Spirits feel something deep inside. And those who feel nothing, who knows. Maybe they're the Aliens amongst us
Just because people are obsessed with the ideas of an afterlife or "God" doesn't prove they exist. It may just prove that people feel like their lives are so lonely, hurtful, and pointless that they need to make up reasons for themselves to go on living. They spend their whole lives believing in God so they can go to a "better place" (be that Heaven or wherever) when they die.

For the past few years, I have had a crisis of faith.My personal debate as to whether or not God exists. I found it hard to believe in a creator God when all the science,technology, and modern thought showed otherwise. I became increasingly isolated and detached. Removed from the outside world. I believe this experience allowed me to think more objectively.I realized that 1000 years ago, people knew the world was flat.all they had to do was walk on it.they were always on a relatively flat surface,so it was obvious. Then, as science(and mans awareness)grew,it was proven that the world is a sphere.I suddenly understood something,every Age believes that it is the pinnacle of intelligence. To believe that our science has, or ever could advance to the point of being able to truly prove or disprove ANYTHING is PURE HUMAN ARROGANCE.We can use the reason and logic of the most intelligent minds on Earth,but these are still the tools of human minds.And therefor flawed.
Ask yourself this,which is more scientifically plausible? That an infinite number of tumblers just happened to fall in an infinite number of correct spaces, thereby creating a system that could allow life to exist; or that an intelligent,creative force was behind its infinitely complicated design. For me, Science and reason do not disprove God exists.It simply reaffirms our natural arrogance.

So if we have free will to believe or not, doesn't prayer mean telling God what to do, and violating HIS free will to do whatever the hell he wants? If he gave us free will.. it doesn't just mean to believe or not to believe. It means he has no right to interfere AT ALL with ANYTHING in the entire creation. If he cannot interfere, we would have no idea of his existance then, would we? If he forced himself on us and claimed he exists then he violated our free will - what if we didn't want a God? Our free will is limitless after all! Or is our free will kinda like our constitution in USA. You THINK it would apply to everything/everyone but then parts of it are changed/erased/ignored and soon maybe the whole thing is scrapped. Darn, I sure hope "God" doesn't change his mind as often as he does in the Bible! Everyone would go awol with his indecisiveness.

Read the following 2 posts in FULL, and only then comment. If this doesn't convince you, then even death and not seeing God afterwards won't convince you either.. NOTHING will! Trust me these are mind blowing.

I have made this infinity arguement and how we cannot comprehend it because we have beginnings and ends. He has yet to reply to this.
