Question of Believers, Why do you still believe in God when..?

Asked by idream3r (439points) May 11th, 2016

This question is for people who believe in God or a Higher power.

With all the chaos and all the bad things that happen in this world, why do you still believe in God. I am a believer as well. However I always find myself questioning my faith. We pray so hard to prevent bad things from happening, just for them to happen. I often feel if God is all powerful, all loving, why does he not help people in need. Whenever something bad happens we say God has a reason or purpose for it. I feel that excuse is getting worn out. As life goes on, I find it harder and harder to believe that a God exists. I am beginning to lean towards the theory of evolution and atheism.

- Things like the idea of hell. Hell seems too cruel in my opinion. I’ve heard stories of people going to hell for simple things. After all we are only human. We will make mistakes. We are far from being perfect.

- Prayer. We have been praying for centuries for God to save us. Like I mentioned previously we pray to prevent bad things from happening, just for them to happen. I am personally starting to stop believing in prayer. People say be patient and God has his time. However how long must we wait for him to answer us.

- Overall, when I look at this beautiful world we live in. I would like to believe there must be a creator. Like every art work has an artist. But when I see the evil and chaos that goes on in it. I begin to lose hope in humanity and God.

Like I said before, I would love to hear from believers.
