There is no God
Dear readers as usually happens we have to
change names when we start a new hub, because what we fist wanted to call it
has been taken, so it has ended up with a slightly different name, anyhow let
us see what this new hub is all about.
We believe or we may say that here is no God
because, there does not seem to be a benevolent God that hears our prayers and
answers them by helping us achieve what we are asking in our prayers; we
believe that there is no God because, when people do very nasty things and
there are no signs that God punishes them; we believe that there is no God
because, God never shows up these days just to let the people see that he
exists.
But not withstanding these negative beliefs we
still pray to God; we pray to God because we need to turn to a superpower that
could be able to help us in our hours of need. God could be said that is hope
for us, so when people have problems they turn to God and pray, because God is
hope for those that need hope most, this is the reason why we continue to pray,
just in case there is God and somehow God would help us in another one way or
another.
So, in one way or another we pray to God, even
when we know that it is very likely that God does not exist and will not answer
our prayers, but our reaction is that we still keep praying, in the hope that
God hears our prayers and grants our earthly requests. Anyhow about our prayer
not being answered we will come back later on, when I am going to talk about my
own personal prayers, for the time being I am saying that we should not count
that God is a certainty, (although I am pretty certain that there is a sort of
God, but not the God that we personally would like to have); now, because we
are not sure about God existence we should moderate ourselves in our beliefs.
So it would be foolish to do extreme acts just because we believe in God in our
own ways and our God says that dose things could be done in his name.
What we have said above are not the only issues
about God existence, because when we say that there is no God, it is because
there is no real physical evidence these days that God exists; God non
existence becomes worse when we check it out
with our own logic reasoning, and then compare it with what we have been
told to believe about God, here we are bound to see that it does not add up
correctly, and therefore we feel that something is missing, therefore we have
many doubts in our minds and we see that it is more likely that what we have
been told to believe and what is written in the Bible could not be correct,
some of these reasons have already been written in our religious writings, some
of the others may have to be explained as we go on writing them; now apart that
there are things in the Bible that are not correct, there is also the way that
God has been described, our beliefs are that in the Bible God has been
described as being so powerful beyond beliefs.
--------------------
The powerful God
Now let us see why we do not believe that
Yahweh (God of the Israelite, also known as Jehovah and for the Muslims Allah)
is so powerful beyond beliefs, as it is written in the Bible; you see, we
cannot see that God is so powerful and God has been the creator of everything,
because our logic reasoning says that it cannot be right, no one can create
something from nothing and this should also include God; this might be one of
the main reasons why the atheists say that there is no God, because the God we
portray in the Bible cannot exist, for the simple reason that he is too
powerful to exist, since the things that he does cannot be done, just by
willing them to be done.
However the possibility exists that there is or
could be spiritual forces and spiritual beings that may indeed be able to do
some of those things that are hard for us to do or explain, so we have to give
the benefit of the doubt and we might have to accept that there is God, but
this God plays a less important role than what people would like to believe; so
God would not be omnipotent to the extent that God can do anything at all, even
like the creation of the universe, because if God would be able to create the
universe then by simple reasoning God is the universe, so God and the universe
could be the same thing and have always existed together; anyhow our beliefs
are that God might not be able to create the universe, but he is able to do
most of the other things, with a few exceptions as written in the Bible.
Here
again we have to say that it is our nature that we need God, therefore we have
to accept God’s existence, even if there is not a lot of proof of God’s
existence. This simple reasoning is based because there is proof that there is
life and we believe that all existing life represents God, so God exists
because life exists, we have already written another article about this subject
and here is the link, God exists because life exists .
We know that what we are saying does not prove
or disprove the existence of God, for this reason we are going to say more,
where we will compare the possibilities of God’s existence before we conclude
this article, but first let us talk about my own personal view about the
existence of God and why sometimes I also believe that God might not exist.
---------------------------------
God might not exist
For a believer like me it is hard to say that
God does not exist, because, if I really believed that God did not exist I
would not be writing these articles at all; so, I would say that I believe that
God might exists, but this existing God is not the God that we would like to
have, since we all would like to have a benevolent God that would hear and
answer our prayers constantly, and this is one of the reasons that man needs
God; but this benevolent God does not exist because most times our prayers are
not heard, so it stands to reason when we have doubts and say that God does not
exist.
Now, I would like to say a few things about my
own life experience briefly, so that I could prove my point about my own
beliefs about the existence of God and how God could exist if he does exist,
here I would like to do that because I don’t have to rely on anybody else to prove
my point but myself, so, let us see my reasons why I believe what I believe, by
using my own life experiences and perhaps some of my close relatives.
Sometimes, I have reasons to believe that God
does not exist, because of what is happening around me. You see, I believe that
if there was a real God as most of us believe, then God should have treated me
better and God should have heard and answered my prayers, because I pray very
often for my own needs: here I may even add that at this very moment I feel as
if I am praying God, you see, I believe that all my religious writings are a
sort of prayer to God, so, I really wish that God would somehow hear my prayers
and help me; I also believe that I don’t deserve all these drawback and pains
in my life that I am having and also I have had during my entire life, it is
not fair as I am a believer I am praying and doing my best.
Now, let me say a few things about my very hard
life that I have been living, but before I do that let me inform you that I
believe that I am not a saint, but at the same time I am not a sinner ether, I
might have sinned of course, because nobody can be perfect, but I believe that
my sins are only minor sins, so they should not make much difference.
Now let us go back to tell you about my life in
a nutshell: as a boy I ended up working in our family farm very early in life,
this life in the farm made me a rather dull person just like anybody else in
those times that had to live this hard and dull life; now this sort of dull
life has many consequences, one of these consequences will show up if you
compare the lack of our communication skills of us people living in the farms,
and then compare that with the communication skills of the rest of the
community who are living in town; you see those communication skills are very
important during our lives and if we don’t have those skills life is going to
be a lot harder, I know that slowly we learn how to overcome that, but it takes
time and while we are doing that we may lose some good opportunities. I have
said this because I want you to compare and understand why I have lived the
rest of my life the way I have lived it, and also because I am going to use my
life experiences to show you that God does not answer our prayers.
This article is about God existence and our
beliefs and prayers that we pray to God during our lives, most of us believers
pray to God constantly, even when God persistently does not answer our prayers;
when we pray to God one of the first things that comes to our mind is that we
wish we were worthy and that we were free of sins, but nobody can really be
free of sins, because it is near impossible, however one could ask what sort of
sins a person could have, just for comparison.
We all know that the worst sins in the eyes of
God and people is to kill other people, the second could be robbing other
people things, perhaps some other sins that stands out could well be our sexual
desires and activities during our lives; but these sexual desire could not be
classed as mortal sins, because most times they could also be God’s blessing,
since this is the way of how Mother Nature reproduces life indefinitely,
therefore, it is only when we go out of our way and overuse our sexual desires
for our own enjoyment, and while we are doing that we don’t care if we hurt
other people feelings or completely ruin them, sexual sins at that level are
really very bad sins.
Now I believe that this article is becoming too
long again, you see most readers these days like to read short articles,
because they don’t seem to have time for long articles. So, let us talk about
my own personal sins, just to argue my case in our next article; where we are
going to look at the three main sins that I believe a man could incur during
his life. We may be calling next article, Sins in the eyes of God.
See you there.
May God bless you/us all?
