God

Hi, how where you helped, could there be an alternative explanation for this help you received? - my point is how can you be sure a higher being exists? - for example i could claim to you now that i have a tartan/multicoloured mouse with three tails in my house, its clearly an extraordinary claim, now to 'prove' that this mouse does not exist i would be required to prove this to you, by for example showing you round my house where my multicoloured mouse lives! But nobody is able to claim in my opinion that their 'higher being' exists!!!

Yes,I can!Sometimes I need to return money and maybe in the morning I have no money.Believe me,I don't know how...but always I sell exactly the amount which I need(I have a little business).No less,no more. I was in Italy this winter to donate stem cel to my brother.First,I must return home with a bus,but this was brocken,I don't know why.Can you believe that I find(online) a ticket for a flight for next day and that my husband can buy it from Romania(I have no money,there in Italy) And I have more example! I don't know if I can call"God".I call...is there,up,someone who take care of us!

It seems these examples are coincidental, they still dont point to their being a higher power in my humble opinion.

Thanks for your analogy but like I said I never push my views onto others. Have a Good Day.

Hi, is everyone free to make that choice however. Things are much more determined than we would like to admit. The church and religion in general has 'controlled' human behaviour for many years, until the enlightenment period of the 18th century when science overtook religion. I appreciate those that 'believe' feel a sense of comfort, knowing that someone is 'looking out for them' - there is a flip side to that coin however, if God is helping people through their life path, what is he/she/it and why do bad things happen to people, children dying early, murder etc etc. How can this be 'watching over also?' Im interested in all opinions, i struggle to understand how some people can 'believe' in something without clear proof it exists.

I understand it very well. I am a psychologist! - just to point out a couple of contradictions in your reply, you say we are 'born' and 'determined' with no scope for change/agency - then you point out how 'crucial' the 'environment' is, to who we become, and our journey. There is a complex interplay between genes and behaviour, a lot is structured by these two, we are 'almost' determined, however 'existentialists' would argue for what is known as 'situated freedom' meaning whatever we are born into, that being our environment and our genetics, we have a 'choice' (even this can be shaped im afraid too) as to which path we take, although constrained as aforementioned. Sorry to hear of your loss, and yes we do need to start understanding each other better, rather than putting economic wellbeing before relationships and ourselves.
