I think most of the people pass through a real tough state of confusion about their belief in God. I am not talking about being religious /belief in a religion. I am talking about your belief/faith in God.
What does really God do? And why?
Why should I believe that God exists, I mean can you give me a convincing reason for this? When I raised similar questions, some of my friends said I am becoming an atheist and advised me not to think much about it because that kind of thoughts will not lead you to an answer but to vagueness.
Some say that there is a cause/reason for everything(hmm,I agree). To be precise, for every effect there should be a cause. So the cause of the origin of this universe is credited to “God”. And also the existence of it is also caused by him. And he decides everything! That means that there is no freewill. And we the little creatures have nothing of our own to do in here. Everything is predefined and predecided!!! Does it make sense? This thought makes me feel like nothing and nothing at all. So I am not in this side, since I am something and I have something to do with my life. Let me see there is some logic which is really reasonable to believe in God.
Many a times I felt like religion is more of with regard to the society and the living, than the real truth God. It’s good to preach and give us a base for our moral and ethical values. But over that, it’s essentially a blunder; most of the core ideas are misunderstood. It’s shameful to see these people fighting about these “misunderstandings”/ dogma.
Actually I feel that there is some ultimate power. May be its some fear of something which have influence on everything; me, you and everything, which are beyond our complete knowledge. But does it mean that, the things which cause/ happen without my influence/knowledge is done/ controlled by a single super power. My reasoning regarding this is, there is no such single power which (pre)decides everything. Every event happens as a result of many other things which are directly and indirectly impacts on it. Since we are not aware of these all things, we assume that there is someone who controls each and everything.
Why people believe that “God” is love and so…Why so many people believe that way? Anyway, I am not gonna believe that way, until I am totally convinced!. I will someday find the truth by myself. I have to.
If you were not told about God, would you by yourself realize the existence of God?

Hi Tressy....its so nice to see u moving towards some of the fundamental questions that pervades all of us.The question of free-will & destiny is quite an interesting one as it can be put this way...To ignore one & tryn to move with the other wud be like tryn to walk with only one of ur leg while the other on space...U see how difficuilt it wud be...so if life has to flow...den it is and it has to b a sweet mix of both...
And regarding ur doubt on findin the existence of God..it so seems like u wont find anyone of the name "GOD"...but u may find Godliness as its qualitative..U cant separate a wave frm an ocean...dey r d same only...and wen ppl say dat Love is vry near to God...the notion is dat it is one of dat wonderful state were our heart rules d brain...wen emotions overcome logic...and such a state is said to b meditative...so it lies vry close to that cosmic experience....i cant elaborate on it as it is so subtle...
Move on with ur search...and then u will have startling revelations fr urself & dat will b unique...All d best!!!
God may or may not exist..some people use it or some people misuse it...but god can be a friend -if its not existing also..temple gives me peace and a sense of belief that I belong to this earth
There were and are many great minds who worked on this topic. They couldn't reach any conclusion. Then y u bother much. Religion is always a good thing. People may be misusing it for their gains, u cant blame religion for that.
For me God is a good friend who never leaves me alone.
use ur time for sth that can bring some positive results, atleast for u.
You are like a day karate student who thinks who is Bruce Lee already :P
Hi Tressy,
You urself have given the answer to ur doubt. You beleive in that all-pervading power,right?That exactly is what I beleive is GOD.
@ renjith
Not agreeing with the "mix of free-will" and destiny. Both are too complicated to mix in.
thanks.
@ vipin
thas true! Even if it does not exist the belief that its there gives comfort to our life. It because, we need someone who is responsible/ and to ake care of us.
@jj
Religion is NOT always a good thing. Certainly it does and has many things for good. But it also has created/motivated many unwanted/unnecessary/worse things things to happen.
Disagreeing with the last comment on me.
@Farz
It only just my "feeling" that there such a power. Is out of fear, I suppose. I am not convinced about its existence and authority.
Good.
Thanks.
