Well. I was just wondering what the Maple community thought.
I can't really explain why or why not He exists (in Christianity) but this may or may not help your thinking. It did for me.
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things." The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:
"You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
Edit:Sorry, can you move this to Random Spam or something. Sorry 'bout that. =( _________________

Your italicized text was mehish. I agree with the logic, but there are some factors you have to think about. That guy on the street probably did not have enough money to go to the barber. He probably would have graciously accepted a free haircut, but barbers don't usually do that.
I myself have mixed feelings about god, but i do so without fear of having to endure long talks with my religous leader thanks to being jewish. It's awesome to have a pro-science and free-thinking religion (not that christianity is not). _________________

Just like the old man with his ragedy beard, he could have asked for a free haircut, just as you can ask God for different things.
But, overall seriously, why don't we just keep on evolving if we evolved from monkies into human beings? Have your ever tried reading the bible? Ever find it hard to understand what Jesus says? Like in his parables? If you read any other kind of bible from any of different religion then Christianity(Bible) then you will find it easy to understand. You wanna know why? Because the others are written by man and the Bible's is written by the creator. =) _________________

Think about this...
You think If God were around the world will be better... umm NO.
Look what happen to jesus he got killed by a spear in 0 B.C. Imagine if god comes he will get killed by a Nuke.  _________________

My God A religous Fanatic.
Anyway yes i read some of the bible its boring as heck.
Basically they go thru all of lifes lessons and whats bad good blah blah. How you shall not sin but i gurantee every single one of us has. "If you say u didnt then your lieing".
At the end of the revalation or somewhere in the bible.
Which i assure some of you heard.
Christ has died. Christ has risen. Christ will come again.
Meaning In the END TIMES. He will come one last time.
Edit - I fear for a Flame War as Commith.  _________________

The same question has been asked millions of times already.. The whole answer to all of this is Sin when sin entered the world that was the beginning of the fall of man. God doesn't want this to happen to us, it's our punishment. We brought it all on ourselves, it was not His fault. _________________

I know. And people don't realize this but, its not really that big of a deal if we screw up. We can just easily say sorry and not do it again. But it has to come from the heart.
Think of it this way
Believe in God and after we die there is a Heaven and our soul live in forever= winning
Believe in God and after we die there is no Heaven and nothing has happen= we have lost nothing. yet gained morals that let us be the person we were when we died.
In my opinion, there no reason not to think so. If you shouldn't have sex till' your married and the Bible says so, then don't do it. But if you do it, then you could end up with a whore and have AIDS,STDS. _________________

Okay im tired of this
christians always say the bible predicts stuff
Okay.... the stuff that happens that the bible says is going to happen is obvious stuff..
yeah there is gonna be a big ass hurricane that will hurt us
yeah there is gonna be killings
blah blah blah
ITS OBVIOUS STUFF!! the people who wrote the bible were smart and said this is going to happen no doubt about it, so lets put it in the bible to have the retards believe in religion more because it was 'predicted'.
religion was made to control society.
You say , Why haven't we evolved yet.
Well hears some news, it takes years... a lot of years..
and things have already involved.. theres already new bugs look it up.
Anyways the revelation says its the end of mankind or some bs.
right. of course there will be a end eventually. we cant go living for ever with the minds that we contain. Its either going to be global warming, nukes (if we detonate 10 more nukes our planet is gone. it cant handle it), a virus, no natural resources, or some alien invasion [hey it could happen..]
thanks
come again. _________________
