I cannot live without my belief in God. To my mind it is the bleakest thing of all to be atheist. Surely then a person is truly alone.
Too many times my prayers have been answered. I often feel I only need ask and I get the help I need.
I just think being cynical and world weary is not the answer to anything. I prefer to keep an open heart and talk to God. What else is there otherwise. We are all going to die, it is up to each of us to develop ourselves spiritually with all the opportunities we have here while we have the precious gift of life.
The rest of us also want to believe that there is a god, but why ignore reason and logic, to force yourself to believe there is man in the sky looking out for you? If so many of your prayers have been answered, why not start praying about something tangible and palpable? Let's start by praying to God to get rid of all cancer by next week!! Please pray to God during this week and report back to us on how well that worked.
You see, it's very easy to pray to god for subjective things like " God, please give me strenght to face this issue" or " Please let me be happier moving foward" or some nonsese like that. Instead, ask for objective things. As i mentioned, start by asking for a cure for cancer by next week, then ask God to let food rain from the sky onto the starving people from Africa.
I can assure you that the millions of people dying of starvation in Africa have asked God millions upon millions of times the same thing and nothing happened. But since he seems to listen to you, perhaps you can give it a shot as they would be eternally grateful!
Please do us a favor and ask God for these two things then report back to us by the end of the week. Certainly God must want to do this too, because he knows that by doing this, all of us who have doubts of his existence would to become believers as well, so everybody wins.
