God and the dilemma with unfalsifiability

[Brian37]

Theists, are you comfortable knowing that the thing you worship will never reveal himself to you?
He will never help you when you are ill. He will never be your wingman in battle. Never protect you from harm.

It is hard when I'm going through tough times to not physically feel God's presence or care. It is hard when I ask God for something and I don't get what I ask for. I'm not going to lie, it IS hard, and I don't believe people who pretend as though this isn't difficult. But ultimately I just have to remember that He is so much bigger than me and bigger than everything I know in my life. Things may not make sense now, and that is expected because I can't see the big picture. But in the entirety of the big picture, beyond my own little life, I have to trust that things will ultimately make sense.  

As for the "revealing" part, God has revealed Himself to me before, in a way. (And I fully believe that He will do so in the next life.) So no, that part doesn't really bother me personally because of what happened, but otherwise it would. I am very lucky for that.

CL there are 7 billion human beings, everyone has ups and downs, not just you. I lost my mom this year as you know, and that was no cake walk. Nobody here wishes you any bad because we are not buying your claims. But we go through bad too. The only difference is that we don't assign any good or bad to a deity. 


You "feel" what you feel because you want to feel it. And what makes you think you have an after life? You don't stress out over what you life was like before you were born do you?

I value the only time I know I have now. I don't stress out about fear of punishment or promise of reward knowing even our planet and sun will die eventually. I still find good and joy in life even with the bad. I simply don't assign it to a god.
