I also think that many of the young folks replying to this thread,the ones that don't believe in God and His Son,Jesus Christ,simply don't have the experiences of Life to make them aware of God's presence..many things that I have experienced,can only be explained by the power of God and I have witnessed the power of prayer,as well. God often provides what we need..and not so often,what we want. Becoming a parent,usually changes one for the better and much is experienced that causes a person to grow up,as well as belief in God and the miracle of a child. I believe that I know the moment of conception for my daughter,it was different from any other time my wife and I made love..it was as though something greater than myself was at work..that moment was and is,still seared into my mind.

I have talked with several folks,who've had near death experiences..they all report that they felt and saw God,some report that God came to them as a Mother God..none of them wanted to return to the mortal world because of the joy they felt,but each was told-it is not yet their time..and that God still had work for them to do.

God has humbled me several times..I have lived on the streets and each time,I rose up from that dark place,by surrendering myself to God and being a humble and grateful servant..I have cast aside my desire for material wealth and have come to know,that true wealth is love and giving love in return..in that regard...I'm a very wealthy man indeed.

Someday..God will call me home..and I'll see some of y'all on the other side..and say "I told ya so !".

Have a good one !
There you go being all patronizing againd...

Don't say people like haven't had important life experiences. I'm only 25, but I've been through a lot, I've seen quite a bit too. The lens through which you view your life is already colored by Christianity, so you'll see God in anything out of the ordinary. Me, I don't need God when I have powerful human beings who care for me. I don't need God because there's nothing I fear that's insurmountable. I think everyone who believes in God so strongly must be deeply afraid of something else, be it death, sickness, hunger, misery, etc. Christians say those afflictions are caused by Satan, I say they're caused by failures of humanity, and that Satan is just everybody's favorite scapegoat. Thus the fear of Satan will make one run towards God with open arms.

I don't need God anymore because I believe in myself, in what my mind can achieve, in a positive mindset, in the potential of humanity to surmount any ill. We dno't need God anymore. Oh how right was Nietzsche when he said, "God is dead."
