Oh, boy where to start.......
A lot of you I have read your thoughts on proof of God and some of you believe there IS no God, just because of what others have told you and/or CANNOT show you proof of His existance. I could respond to this in a thousand different ways, but I wish to bring up some questions & ideas here:
The proof is not out there, you will never find proof- the answers have always been there about God, but the answers are not found outside of yourself. When one person may say God is one thing, while another says something completely different. All people have different "beliefs" and "facts" about God. Some say that Jesus dies for their sins, while others don't believe in worshiping a person. There are so many different religions and belief systems out there, and they all claim they are the one, true faith- that their way is the right way. So which is right? Are ANY of them the RIGHT one? Also, if there is a God, many of people immediately think "superior being", higher than us. Well, let's take for instance, this: "God created man in the image and likeness of Him". So, how could we be less superior, even born with sin? Couldn't we, for a minute, imagine outside of the box here and think that maybe we were created for His experience? That He experiences through us? And that with our experiences, we are recreating Him at every moment? And that it says that God has no ONE form- that He is everything and everone you look at? Every noise you hear? Every breath you take?
This God- called to be perfect, and to love every one of us unconditionally, yet this God is said to punish us by sending us to "Hell" if we disobeyed him or disbelieved Him? Well, "unconditional" is such a strong word and many don't stop to realize what it means: without condition or exception. I asked myself time and time again while attending church with my parents- So which is it? Does God love us unconditionally or doesn't He? Never did I understand that whole theory. How could we be loved unconditionally, yet we are given commandments to abide by, and if we break those, that we would be sent to Hell. I tell ya, for a while I was just as confused as some of you are.
Also, who says there has to be a "beginning"? How about- it could have always "been"- a continual spiraling cycle of recreation? God always has "been" and always "will be" even if a flower dries up, even if a human passes on. And all of everything in life is in that cycle.
I studied every religion and belief out there to try to get an idea of what I believe in, but finally I realized that there was no answer "to be found", and that nothing seemed true. But the closest religion I came upon that represented how I felt inside was Taoism, which my Philosophy classmate practiced. Yet, still I wasn't comfortable with any specific religion.
But- back to the topic at hand- it honestly takes an open mind to realize and understand that you will find answers when you start listening to the questions you have and listen to yourself for answers. They are there, and they well come to you if you let them. The best way to do this is by distinguishing your feelings about certain things. Ask how you feel about God? The idea of there being a God- what feels "right" to you? Don't be afraid to explore yourself and don't be ashamed of what your feelings are about something. When you are not afraid, confused or embarrased, you will know that is your truth- finding answers from outside sources (which are not always the same which leads to confusion) will steer you away from Your Truth.
