Why do I believe on God?

When I think I do I believe or still believe, I can not find an answer.
I'm really furious with Him at a long, long time. I believe that He denied me as His daughter, that God does not want as one of his children.
So, if God does not want me, I don't want Him too. If God does not want to be my father, I don't want him either!
If he turn his backs to me, I can live alone, without his presense.
But: Why you never lobr me and forced to a life of teers, GOD? This, I will love to know.

Does every parent hold their child's hand for their entire life? Or do some parents let their children go out into the world unaided, and experience life and pain for themselves, so they can learn and be stronger?
God is like a parent, I believe. He gave us life, but He's not responsible for everything that happens to us. We take the life God gave us and make what we can of it, on our own. He gives guidance when we seek it, but He isn't there to make everything better or alright for us. We have to do that on our own, and prove we can make the most of the life God gave us.
God helps those who help themselves, after all.

No, God isn't there for you. God doesn't fix our problems for us or give us an easy life. There'd be no point to living if that were the case. God gives us a life of hardship and challenge, tests us and puts obstacles in our paths. And we have to overcome them ourselves, with no help from Him. That doesn't mean He's not there or that you should shut Him out of your life. Take the challenges He gives you, make something of them, and live the best life that you can.
Look around at the world. Look at all of the hardships that everyone suffers. Disease, crippling accidents, starvation, homelessness.... everyone has their burdens to bear. Lashing out at God isn't going to help anything. It won't do anything except give you a little bit of indignant rage and self satisfaction. Take comfort in knowing that you're alive and have the power to change your life and move beyond whatever hardships you've suffered.
I wish you luck and happiness.

Sweetie, you are just too steeped in bitterness that you are blined to the love of God. He loves you more than you will ever know. He is always there for you to hold you up, if only you'll let Him. I don't know your troubles but there's a set of rules to solve them. But you have to understan and srettle in yoyur mind that anything He shows you to do will never make sense. Cuz it's not meant for your mind but for your spirit man.
It's like when you want to build muscle mass, you go to the gym and do earobics. Will you build muscles? No. Cuz Aerobics are for cardiovasculars and fat burning. If you want muscles, you gotta lift the weights. And that's what troubles are to us. They make us have thicker skin, stronger characters. So that when our breakthru's come, we can handle them without being wasteful. Hang in there, sweetie, there's hope. God never leaves you neither will He forsake you. You just won't have it easy always, but he'll bring you thru it all. Just trust Him and strengthen your faith.

Just remember he never gives you anything you cant handle. He didnot turn his back on you. There is always a reason why things happen the way they do. And you will never know why.

every single thing in this life has a purpose. Why does living things has life? why does the earth moves, its part of life, and being an existent one surely proves that theres life. God exists. Just look around and open your eyes.

God was never there, because he never existed. I have a differnet concept of a God. It is ridiculous to belive there is a loving, forgiving God sitting in hsi thrown looking down upon us. If that is true, God he must be very distracted. Trully look at all the atrocities occuring in the world. I thought God was all good, why then would he create evil, or create something that has the potential of evil.

I feel the same way about God.. What really pisses me off is that he watches people suffer and does nothing about it. It's pathetic!!!

I am surprised by your naivette:-Please think about an animal or creature,about to be devoured by another.Assume that it can think.What will it be thinking of the so called GOD?
Similar situation of a man about to die in a natural calamity,but conscious and aware,say.What would his thoughtsbe?
Think of the millions of Holocast victims.
Note;-You can have your beliefs,just as I can have mine.

When you are in a great trouble, and have no ways to come out from it. You please, please visit your religion's Temple. Pray to God, put up your problem, be calm/silent for few minutes. Then only you can experience the presence of god. This peace has no comparison.

not only u all of us must trust God because all exists in presence of God
without Him nothing exists.
All are His children don't think that He was not accepting u as His child He accepts all and whatever we give He receives and in return He gives us love and helps us in the time whenever we need.
without God nothing exists in my opinion.

The reason I believe in God is because the amazing experiences I've had throw my life I truly believe that there was some sort of divine intervention who helped me through the rough patches in life

Dear friend,
its really sad to go thru tough times. I know.
Now may be u shud change the way u look at things, i feel.
I don't know how i may sound to u, but my humble suggestion is, stop looking up for some help. Stop escaping from yourself and ur situations. take responsibilty of ur life and just decide to face it whatever it may be.
may be giving urself the power over ur life may offer better help.
And who knows, may be god himself is trying to tell you that repeatedly that, "oh my daughter, do ur best, may be i can help a hand then"
i don't know exactly thru which u've been be. may be i may sound inappropriate. yet, consider a possibility of connecting to the Godly power within yourself.
May be ur God is inside, not outside.
take care.
