God do exist!
Go on then, tell us more about Him/Her/It, and whilst you're at it might as well divulge how you know.
As some bloke said, if God didn't exist it would be necessary to invent him.
Or something like that.
Whether God exists or not isn't it strange to kill other people in the name of that God? How can God be peaceful if so many people are killed for believing something different (ironically, just a different path to God....not even whether or not he exists).
Why not let everyone live and let God sort them out when they die?![]()
"Asked if the U.S. still would have invaded Iraq had the CIA told Bush and him that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction in 2003, Cheney answered yes. He said Iraq had the capability of obtaining such weapons and would have done so once U.N. penalties were eased."

Yes I would love to know about your 'proof' of God, and I must confess that I do not know what God is or if He/She or It exists.
Pure speculation at best, though I am intrigued that so many mortals seem to know so much not only of His existence and background, but also His intentions, mindset, and even what He has in store for us in the afterlife, which varies in line with our thoughts and deeds and beliefs in this life, and which in turn suggests that He has a higher or lower regard for us according to how gullible we have been. Naturally, we are not told what happens to those who die before they are able to think for themselves, or those who lived long before the existence of certain religions, each of which claims to be the real McCoy.
Still, it may be a coincidence that those who profess to know of such clearly unknowable things, seem to be endowed with all manner of material and worldly benefits, with of course that place in Paradise for all of eternity in return for the equivalent of less than a cosmic second of devotion. Sounds like a great investment for the blind and ignorant, and also for those with an interest.
Now, Thomas Aquinas defended human reason as a source of knowledge of the natural world, and attempted to reconcile reason and faith by setting down five irrefutable proofs of God.
Search them out and read them for yourself, though I can tell you they progress from the inane to the ridiculous, couched in clever words for the benefit of the ignorant masses.
However, considering your earlier assurance that you never 'blindly' follow anything, I am sure that your 'proof' of god's existence could not possibly stumble along in such a blind faith fashion.

I agree - if he exists, he is not a very nice person/entity. He is obviously vengeful, insecure and either unable to stop the madness that goes on in his name, or worse, actually approving of it.
Personally, I prefer the good old viking goods - Valhalla sounds like my kind of place - unlimited booze, women, food, and a damn good fight to death at the end of every afternoon. Then resurrection for all, and the party continues.....

Any error in tact, fact or spelling is purely due to transmissional errors...
Might as well also pause then, to imagine the absurdity of an infinite intelligence materialising from nothing and then hovering in the midst of a literal emptiness, and for an eternity, deciding whether or not to bother with Creation.
Or we could just assume that everything that is known and not known just came from nothing. That would contradict everything we know about science.
