Sometimes I question the existence of God...because of some bad happenings around...why he let it happen but when I realized it why should I question him if he is not the one doing it...'cause it is a trial for us to become strong...

Depends on what you mean by "God." We have different interpretations, and even those within the same sect have different interpretations as well. Choose one, then we'll talk.

I may have doubts in myself but I never questioned God about the things that are unpleasant in my life. I may have been through things and even though I fail, I still believe in him. I personally think we're on the same boat since I've lost my father to a disease and his life have been extended for over a year before he was gone. I'm still thankful to God, and as they say, "things happen for a reason."

If troubles come, why would we look away from the One who can help?

No I don't.. God is everywhere. He created the earth and heaven. He created all things. He hung the sun, moon and the stars in the sky. If you look around you. You will see the birds, flowers and the trees. Every breath we take comes from the Lord. He is everywhere. He sees and hears all things. He is the beginning and the ending.

The existence of God can't be questioned. The bible says in John that in the beginning there was word and the word was God and God was in the word.

I acknowledge God's existence and I believe he exists. But doubt is natural,whether you are a believer, a christian missionary, or even a pastor. Even Christ's own disciples sometimes doubted God's existence.
Doubt is a part of the journey of faith.

Voltaire offers his novel to question God's existence: "Candide."

In my religion there are many Gods, as Haatim correctly said I don't question the existence of God, I question whether that God is good for me or not.

Love,
R.

Absolutely not, I see God in every substance in me and around me. He may seem far at times, but I have never doubted His existence; not an iota.

Yes, I do believe in the existence because there is a book called the Bible that proves it all. With the words written in it and all that connection of the Old Testament and New Testament, proves that God exists and am a true believer of the Gospel

This was something I related to in the book. I have been spiritual all my life and brought up to be religious. I think it's normal to question your beliefs especially when there is suffering.

No, I do not question the existence of God. I believe God is watching over all of us, and He is greatest friend you can have in life. He has helped me through the hardships in my life, and He has never left me, even when I have left Him. He is always looking out for me. God exists.

Do you question the existence of God?
In the book, “Raven’s Peak”, Haatim questioned his faith in God because of the tragedies in his life. There was a point in my life when I questioned the existence of God when my father was taken from us.
No I don't. I know he exists and believe in his Son Jesus. BUT with that said, too many people question God's existence because (1) they do not understand God; (2) they do not understand the nature of this world.

Death is a part of life, we cannot escape that event and most people judge God's existence simply because their personal desires want some other result to take place. Because someone dies, that fact does not mean that God does not exist. God does not exist to be a genie granting every wish humans may have.

There is more to be said here but I will post this for now
