For a while, yes I did question my faith in God. I considered myself an atheist for a part of my life. However, I soon realised that subconsciously I still believed in God and turned to him in all problems. I could never truly shake off the belief that there is an entity called God who takes care of us. So, the answer to your question is no.

Its a forbidden topic for a country living in a Culture of faith. I never thought of it until this year where everything seems to be clear, when every thing before is a blur. Everyday like other family I live in a home where we worship something in beyond out there that we thought it is bigger that the whole Universe. We are born, we are thought, we are raise and we are fed with faith. But it seems that wrong people got all the glory and we the faithful ones got all the shame. They say that we are given chose. Is it our choice to be betray by heartless people? Is it a choice that we got sick?......News where people are killed, wars against nation innocent people got involve in the middle. Starving Country. Where is he.

Whether his there or not I still believe that doing good is always better that doing something that's not right. And just always think that if we don't what something other people to do to us lets not do to others. Respect ourselves and the rest will follow

I do not doubt the existence of God for many reasons. The main reason is based on my human structure. It is perfectly structured. I look at my hands, how my legs bend as i move, my ability to taste food, my eyes and ears. These are all designed by a great creator and an all powerful being. Imagine if one finger was missing on each of your hands, you wouldn't handle things properly. That is awesome. The human body is perfectly crafted, more than any machine or equipment created by the human hand. This makes me always realized and believe that there is a living God, in which all things originated.

I used to believe in God but I realized that there was not any proof. I do not believe that there is any way to prove that God exists but I also can not be sure God does not exist.

Proof? Witnesses, acts, miracles, answered prayer, changed lives, personal salvation, creation, stars, life. written records, oral records, etc.

I have been in the same position, not once not twice. Sometimes hell breaks loose. Look up to God in times of struggles and He will always hold your hand.

In hard times I've sometimes questioned God's will or direction for my life, but I've never doubted His existence.

I know I should not doubt the existence of God. But sometimes I just can't really help it much more when I am at the lowest point of my sanity. It's when I feel that the world is against me and I have no one but me. That's when I start asking if He really exists because if He does, He wouldn't want to see me unhappy and in pain. But then, as much as I can help it, I don't allow thoughts like these lingering long in my subconscious because my Faith in Him always triumphs.

I used to be a strong believer in God until I lost my sister. That led to me losing my faith and I've been an atheist ever since.

I've been a Christian all I have but I have questioned it at times. At the end, I always find reason to believe he DOES exist because there are so many things in the world that cannot be unexplained by just 'science'and so many ways God has helped me in my life :)

I am agnostic, so I constantly question both the existence and non-existence of God or Gods (or some kind of higher being and power) and religion. I think it is extremely important to do so to ensure you are truly following something because you believe and have faith in it.

-- 09 Jul 2017, 16:53 --

Also, if you are of a certain faith and wish to spread this and inspire people to believe as you do, you must question your own beliefs in order to strengthen them and prepare yourself for debate and intellectual defence of your religion!
