I have heared this question from different kinds of people all over the places I've been thru.. They could say they beleive now that there is really no God afterall.. because of all the happenings like wars, calamities all over the world, famines, etc.. they can hear, feel and see in their places or in the TV news... So if these are happenings where is God? why did he allow all of these? Does he exist or not?

You can't blame all the calamities and wars on god, because that was our doing, not god. And if you ask, "Well then why is god allowing it?" Well, he gave us freedom for a reason. He wants us to live however we want to live, but preferably Godly.

I believe in God. He's what life is all about, all the living and things that we cannot put back to life all came from Him. If God does not exist, then all of shouldn't have been here either. We are still lucky that He still allows us to live despite all of the untoward incidents, like those petty skirmishes and unreasonable wars that is happening to some part of the world. I still feel blessed and thankful that He still spares our country, our families and loved ones away from the brutal effects that wars causes to others who are not so lucky to become a victim.
Calamities and famines are mostly caused by humans, who ignores pollution and irresponsible dumping of toxic waste chemicals. The breach on the ozone layer was caused because of the negligence of us, we still pollute the air we breathe and the water we drink. It also victimizes animals that carries diseases that we, sometimes eat or make contact with.

All things will come to an end, He already made that clear to us. But we don't in what way He'll do this, we just have to accept that things, to be put to an end, has to happen in whatever circumstances it should be. Don't believe in me, believe in HIM!;)

Well my dear, to answer your question honestly, there really is an existence of God because who would tend to explain the unanswered phenomenons that a lot of people have in one commonality? But why is it that he allows all the negative things to happen? Remember that from the Book of Genesis (If I remmeber it right that way) As Adam and Eve ate the Apple from the tree of wisdom and knowledge, this includes our free Will. The Will to choose and decide our destiny. Man creates these things, God perhaps provided this world to live in and the resources for us to cherish but all the things that is/are happening, we do these things. Its up to man if they really believe in God but God does not do all the work, man does all the work. We just have to find the right answers from all the common answers that we are receiving.

of course God exist... it is not the fault of God why all of these are happenings... it's human's own doing why all of these are here. it is because of sin... in times like this we can even prove that the Lord is here, because in spite all of this bad things there is still hope, we are still alive and still we can feel that the Lord is here, coz if not it could have been worst...

Actually God have told Us that these thing will happen. They are the preceeding events before His return. Not all of them are from God. In the book of Job Satan told God That Job only worshiped him Because God was so good to him. So God told satan that he could do what ever he wanted to get Job to denounce God but not to harm him . Well Satan took all his wealth and children and Job did not renounce God. So Satan clamed that God was still protecting him and God allowed Satan to make Job miserable but not to take his live. Satan put boils all over Job makeing Him very miserable and Job still did not denounce God. Then God gave Job much more wealth than He had to begin with. Sometime God allows adversity in our live to show how good he can be. So the evel we see in the world does not come from God.
