If God exists!

If God exists, why does he? If God exists, why does he let me think that he doesn’t? If God exists, why does he even let me think at all? If God exists, why does he let me do things that he doesn’t allow? If God exists, why does missing prayers don’t bother me? If God exists, why does he let me doubt his existence? If God exists, why do I get away with a lot of things? If God exists, why does a person like me have more than someone who listens to each and everything he orders? If God exists, why does he let me be me?

Because if I was God, I would hate the very guts of a person like myself who diminishes the very thought of a holy being, who regards this as a shameful act towards a powerful brain that only lets you believe in facts.

The beauty of his existence is that he only LETS you and never FORCES you. Not that he can’t, but he chooses not to. I would quote Bill Maher from his show “The Decider” where he said, “The beauty of America is that, there is no nation in the world that would let me run my mouth as much as I do and I am still able to breath”. He may be an atheist, but if he applies the same logic to God, he may change his beliefs.

If there is God, why don’t I feel him? Or maybe I do and the very thought amuses my little mind.

Re: If God exists!

This life is a test for the hereafter

Surah Al-Baqarah 155: And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).
156: َ Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return."

Does pain exists? do you feel pain?

No you dont get away with anything, you will face the consequences, God gave us freedom to be who we are, but he has set limits.
God is just.

Re: If God exists!

I think whats important is believing just because its worth believing in... Belief in god is harmless, and it makes you feel better and gives you a sense of order in llife.

Nothing wrong with that. Personally I really dont know if god exists, I just assume he does.

Re: If God exists!

My guess is m he has more important things to do.

Re: If God exists!

As I understand it, God gave us the gift of "free will", the freedom to do right or wrong as we choose and the freedom to beleive or not. Its up to each individual to choose - or not - to beleive, to do good or to do evil etc. and to answer for our choices at the proper time.

Re: If God exists!

Not you, I was talking about Bill Maher .
They capitalized on their freedom a bit too much. Funny how they act out side of US. They have bombed al-jazeera more then once for telling the truth.
Out side of US their hands are not tied and they actually act upon what they are.

SORRY NOTE:(

Re: If God exists!

Hahahaha.....i agree with you what u said. In short, keep questioning whatever you believe or see or think.....

Re: If God exists!

Great questions and high time too. My views.

God doesn't have to exist to be. The word 'exist' itself poses a limit. Once we predicate concept of God to 'existence' all your questions becomes valid and impossible to answer.

I think of God to be everything superior to me, in a good way. The force that ensures things I need to be but cannot accomplish myself. The force that ensures the faculties and energies that I need to accomplish the things I need to myself.

I also think of God as that which is the reference for all things intangible but necessary for coexistence - for example: What would prevent a person to adhere to a particular legal obligation if he/she is smart enough to hide the trails? A something called goodness / fairplay guides my actions in those no-risk opportunities. That to me is God.

As to why such a God will 'let' you do things he doesn't want you to - just read that again to see how invalid that question is.

I don't think those are tests.

Re: If God exists!

I think God is concept and not some kind of physical being that is looking down on us. Its the concept of goodness, kindness, humanity, equality, justice and what is right. As human beings each of us have those godly qualities within us, but very few us are willing to use those for greater good....

Peace Hahahaha

If God exists, why does he?
God is the cause of things that exist, the answers to 'why' can be found in the Attributes of God according to Islamic understandings. The reason for God is thus fulfilled in our understanding of Him. God is The Greatest, because He is, and so on.

If God exists, why does he let me think that he doesn’t?
To show that he doesn't need His created entities to think He exists, and because of what we don't already know or can fathom.

If God exists, why does he even let me think at all?
God is The Creator, with or without the creation, He let's you think so you can choose and for other reasons that we are not aware of.

If God exists, why does he let me do things that he doesn’t allow?
*God has two such decrees, one is Ordainment, (Qadr) the other is Legislation (Qaza). One is the command that cannot be broken the other is a requirement from us to exercise through the choice He has given us. Example of the first is for ones heart to beat, an example of the other is the command to pray. The Legislative law of God is for the purpose of earning reward and the pleasure of God and to be saved from the Hellfire, and any other reason that is with God that we are unaware of. *

If God exists, why does missing prayers don’t bother me?
We are told in that those people who chooce misguidance are content in it

If God exists, why does he let me doubt his existence?
Because letting you doubt God is part of the Legislative Law of God.

If God exists, why do I get away with a lot of things?
We are told in the Qur'an that God let's people believe that they have gotten away with things, for a time, but He will bring Justice to all, either in this World or the Hereafter

If God exists, why does a person like me have more than someone who listens to each and everything he orders?
Measure of success is not measured by material wealth, I don't think you have more that Michael Jackson, but is he at peace? Is he content? We are told that those people who think themselves self-sufficient are leading themselves to a downward spiral, if you think this inaccurate then you are kindly invited to think you are self-sufficient!

If God exists, why does he let me be me?
God is Most Merciful

Because if I was God, But you are not God I would hate the very guts of a person like myself who diminishes the very thought of a holy being** So if there is God you surely haven't taken the safe option!, who regards this as a shameful act towards a powerful brain that only lets you believe in facts. **The concept of belief is not grounded in facts, it is the other way round, but your own view limits this awareness..

The beauty of his existence is that he only LETS you and never FORCES you.
Is that sarcasm?

Not that he can’t, but he chooses not to. I would quote Bill Maher from his show “The Decider” where he said, “The beauty of America is that, there is no nation in the world that would let me run my mouth as much as I do and I am still able to breath”. He may be an atheist, but if he applies the same logic to God, he may change his beliefs.
A nation can only let people do anything by the Will of God, the ability for Maher to breathe is only by the Will of God. If he can apply the same logic to God, that will only be by the Will of God. The Mercy of God

If there is God, why don’t I feel him? Or maybe I do and the very thought amuses my little mind.
If there is no God, then why ask the question? If you do feel God, then why do you not let it become more than merely amusing? Life is a journey in many respects, read the signs and find guidance, or otherwise like in the Qur'an you would be of those who are wandering blindly.

Re: If God exists!

atheist. oh wow :P I dont think u are suppose to make these kind of posts here or are u

15

Re: If God exists!

What is that suppose to mean? I guess it might help if you read the post before making any asumptions. Unless your purpose on this forum is simply to increase your post count.

16

Re: If God exists!

^ I think the point that cutecookie was trying to make is that if your an athiest then you shouldn't be making these kind of posts because you don't believe or have faith in god anyway, so how can you feel his existance...

(i may be wrong but i think so anyway, just tryna help u out ) :)

Re: If God exists!

"To show that he doesn't need His created entities to think He exists"

If that were the case, then why does God require constant worship from His entities? He apparently needs to be worshipped, so it appears He does need His entities to think He exists.

And why would he have put forth at least 3 attempts at Holy Scripture to convince us He does exist? Why would He have blasphemy laws for those who don't believe? Why is there a divine law that we are all supposed to follow?

Apparently He does need us to think He exists.

Re: If God exists!

Congradulation , you are thinking in the right direction , kalma also say , "there is no god" unless this do not sit in your heart and mind you can't proceed to "but GOD"

because you are in first stage you have in mind that there are gods or single god and you are wondering "how they are god"
in second stage you will think there is no god and then you will inquire about "how there is no god" and that will lead you to the answer

lets see when you pass the pass the first stage

Re: If God exists!

I am sorry but I am still trying to understand your point. Can you shed some light please.

Re: If God exists!

Do you even know what an athiest mean? Its not someone who doesnt believe in god but simply someone who questions. Whats wrong with that as you are only putting the most powerful tool in your body for spiritual reasons, your brain that is. I guess one would only argue not to question such things as they may not make sense. In that case, such things are considered senseless. I am not putting words in anybody's mouth, but that is a common reaction of a person when one tries to question religion.

And that point you were making doesnt make sense, you said I shouldnt make such posts as I may not have faith in God, hence I may not feel him. Are you suggesting that even if I did not have faith in God, I have no right to think about what he may be like? Is that what your religion has blessed you with? I hope not!

Peace!
