Do you question the existence of God?

The God Question is a big part of the novel I wrote, titled (removed by mod). The first chapter is available on Inkshares, but I can't post the link yet cause I'm new.
"MichaelGrover3" You shouldn't post the link in any case, as it is against the Anti-Spam Rules.

Ah thank you for letting me know, I did not realize.

Briefly, but it was more about the viewpoints I encountered during study in my minor of Anthropology than the hardships I endured in life. I always believed that his purpose was not to control every thing in our lives, but to give us guidance and strength to navigate the things that happen and to help us grow stronger. So, I looked to him most often during trying times.

There was a point in my life when I questioned the existence of God. Sometimes I'd say "Does God really exist? If He does, why would He allow this situation to happen to me"? Sometimes I'd experience something and I'd just look up into the sky and say "I know You did that". So personally, I choose not to think about it. I just live my life as I think I should. Maybe someday I'll realize He's up there and that day will definitely be the day of judgement!

If the God question is not for you, why do you write about God? You see, He is unavoidable!

Myself, I have never questioned His existence. I have admittedly questioned Him, "why or how" strongly and tirelessly at times of struggle and strife. I've always believed though, as a Christian, keeping that connection and that communication with God, in Jesus's name helped me through the tough times.

This is a very good point!

I have never questioned the existence of God, per se. But I have questioned his power over the things that happen in our lives. There are certain low points that I could not associate with a loving God, but I keep my faith that God is there to guide us, if not to plan every event.

God, the Sovereign, made us with free will. We can exercise that free will and either remain as bondslaves to sin and self or become a slave of Jesus Christ. Not an easy choice. But there are consequences.

No. I am not since I got many things to proof that he is is there watching.

No.

I definitely don't. I KNOW He's REAL and alive!

There was a time when I questioned the existence of God, but it's been a long time since then. I didn't grow up in a religious household, so I learned later in life about Him. Better late than never, right?

There have been times when I've wondered "What if God did not exist?" But I have never doubted His existence. However, I know sometimes it is difficult to believe in an all-loving God when terrible things happen. But I don't think I will ever doubt His existence!

Better late than never. Right. Actually, that is not an option. All humans will meet God some day.

I have never questioned the existence of God because I've never believed in his/her existence. It is a belief that is often kept quiet in our society and often met with anger and sometimes, pure resentment. I've always been rather surprised at those reactions. But, belief is a very emphatic anchor to our being.

I believe there is something out there, a higher life force, a higher power, but as to a God, a white bearded old man looking from above down to us, no, I don't actually believe it. Different religions have their own image of how their God should look like so why ours is the right one? Or any god for the matter? And why it's not a goddess, for example?
