A Serious Question For Theists

[ska88]

So you think it's a proof that someone or something doesn't exit only because you don't think he is good..?!

The thing is.. you have to believe first to judge ! You can't evaluate something unless it exists.

So don't judge my religion or that religion .. or say that I don't believe on God cuz he's unfair and make no sense!

If you want me to say why I'm muslim and not sikhi.. I will! But I don't think that you care ..

You want to know (I guess) why we do believe on God! So here I am helping and thinking with you..

I know how you feel cuz I wonder why you don't believe on God too

so let's try to understand each other .. really! For this purpose. And let's not try to prove who is wrong ..

I know no matter how I tried to convince you .. you will not believe .. That can only be if you want to. And you shall know that I'm so convinced with faith and religion .. and what you say about faith and believers doesn't really effect me

Let's just try to understand each other.. arguments are useless and won't lead us to anything.

I believe on God because...

First I was born in a muslim country.. I've seen faith and how it affects people's lives.. when I see other people I know how happy and settled we are.. cuz I can see how lost they are.

Then.. I really became faithful with the bottom of my heart when I started wondering and asking questions.. I started young .. I remember when I said to my mom.. who created us? Why are we so sure that we are right?!?

She said.. well you can always search and find out the truth. She told me that even the quran says investigate and revaluate your faith.. and she started telling me the story of Ibrahim in the quran:

surah(6) .. verse 75 - 79
{ And thus did We show Abraham the realm of the heavens and the earth that he would be among the certain [in faith]
So when the night covered him [with darkness], he saw a star. He said, "This is my lord." But when it set, he said, "I like not those that disappear."
And when he saw the moon rising, he said, "This is my lord." But when it set, he said, "Unless my Lord guides me, I will surely be among the people gone astray."
And when he saw the sun rising, he said, "This is my lord; this is greater." But when it set, he said, "O my people, indeed I am free from what you associate with Allah .
Indeed, I have turned my face toward He who created the heavens and the earth, inclining toward truth, and I am not of those who associate others with Allah ." }

That means that Ibrahim was thinking and wondering too.. and he investigated and search.. then he found God!

So that was the beginning of my journey .. and started reading what atheist say about Islam and God.. and I found answers for everything they said.. and they really make sense to me.. So my faith started to be stronger..

and after years and years of reading and searching.. asking questions ! I experienced things like talking to God as if I can see him.. and receiving the message .. every time .. in life!

If you want.. you can try.. just ask a question.. say God I don't believe on you .. it's your fault! you didn't make things clear to me.. Let me see something clear and obvious!! If you are there .. tell me!

Just try it!! won't hurt you..

I can feel God all the time.. when I'm sad and when I'm happy.. and when something bad happens to me.. I start thinking why ?! what do you want me to see?! and then I know the wisdom behind it..

I lost my babies twice.. I remember watching them die .. not moving.. no heart beats.. I cried so hard !!

But I started saying.. thank you God.. I know there is a wisdom behind that.. I know you love them more than I do.. and I know that you are merciful .. give me the strength and patience .. I'll learn from this experience and be a better person!

You know the death of someone dear .. the death of your child.. is so hard!! it either makes you strong or weak!!

and It made me.. strong and understanding.. and made me know and realize the real meaning of life.. life is not eternal.. we can die so soon.. before we know.

It made me realize that I should not worry about anything in this mortal life.. money.. luxury.. fame.. success .. I work hard to be better and make other people's life better.. and build and fix.. with a sincere heart and without being greedy and selfish.

This experience made me grow.. into a better person.

now you tell me what makes you an atheist and how did that affected your life and made you a better person?

remember we can always share ideas with a nice conversation.
