We’ve all seen it, and the evidence is incontrovertible. Scientists are unanimous in agreeing that the capacity to put a readable luminous message in the sky in over four thousand languages around the entire globe at the same moment is far beyond the technical capacity of mere human beings. Linguists have confirmed that the English version (I do not exist. Repeat, DO NOT ESIST. Live with it. [signed] God) is virtually identical to the message in every language they were able to verify.
This absolute and final proof that God does not exist, provided by God Himself, has had repercussions both expected and unexpected. Psychologists agree that there have been far fewer suicides than would have been anticipated (mostly televangelists, it turns out); and who could have imagined the mass love-ins around the world with Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. embracing one another as brothers and sisters. Peace has been declared in Ireland and the Middle East. Priests, Minister, Imams, and Rabbis are overflowing the unemployment offices, and used crucifixes, burkas, votive candles and yarmulkes have flooded the market.
There have been sporadic instances of Bible and Koran burning (mostly Gays and Feminists), but for the most part a spirit of tolerance has been predominant. Attempts by former religious leaders to secularize have fallen flat; very few, for example, have shown any interest in joining Pat Robertson’s Church of Non-Divine Republican Truth and Tea Party.
The new age of disbelief, however, has not been without dissent. The well-respected American Theologian, Woodrow Allen, has commented: “A God who lets us go on believing in Him for centuries then pops in at the last minute and tells us it was all a joke, now that’s a God I can believe in.”
Dear Roger,
I too, being raised Catholic (I’m not one now) that God was very distance and even questioned one of the nice nuns at our parochial school one day with this question: How do we know there is a God if there was no one around to see Him create the world, etc.
I’m a Christian, not because someone (from a TV preacher or regular pastor) convinced me as I had to find out for myself. One day, while ghostwriting a book, I needed a break. I checked my email and there was a prayer request from a friend who had a friend whose 17 year-old son was diagnosed with a difficult to excise tumor, deep into his brain. He would need surgery that was high risk for stroke and the ensuing brain damage. (I have a medical background, taking care of wheelchair users and had many hospice clients).
Being a mother of a 19 year-old who finished his two-year Army stint and was out of the military one year before the Iraq war, I considered myself extremely blessed, my heart went out to this mother. I grabbed my proofreading husband’s hand and said we need to pray right now for this mother’s child. Later we prayed in bed for him and it was what happened while I was praying that really blew me away.
You see I’ve had many of my prayers answered really fast. I’ve had three prayers answered in one day and just yesterday had two more answered. My son coming home from the Army was a memorable one for me as well as the prayer I prayed to God to keep him safe while he is working over in Moscow, Russia. He’s doing great too!
Now it’s important to know that God does answer ALL prayer, just not always in the “yes” mode. They’re really is a reason why He says no but I’ll get to that in another comment as it’s late.
I’m photophobic, meaning I’m sensitive to sunlight. I’m about 60%, meaning I have to wear darker sunglasses and a visor when I’m out in bright sunshine. I can’t have any light in the room at night when I sleep, such as the digital numbers on an alarm clock and for some reason, I can see incredibly well in the dark. My husband is amazed how I can avoid bumping into things and the walls to get to the bathroom, etc. at night but for some reason that’s always been the way I was.
We’re praying, lying on our backs holding hands as we usually do and I always pray with my eyes closed, always have out of habit, I guess. I decided to start the prayer for this kid as it was so fresh on my mind. I was so confident that God would answer this one prayer for me, that I just raised my other hand and said God, I’m going to thank you ahead of time for guiding those doctors hands so well to help them heal this young man. Just as I finished that one sentence, with my eyes closed and ONLY with my right eye, out of the darkness a hole opened up just like the ripple effect does on water (1/8) inch in diameter, and through this hole a pure and very straight needle of light came right at my eye and then the hole closed and the ‘light needle’ withdrew back through the hole and it closed up. This lasted 2 seconds, no less and no more. When this happened I got this wonderful warm feeling throughout my body and my left arm just dropped and I said WOW! My husband had never heard me say that word when we prayed so he said “Wow what?” I told him what happened, knowing that it was definitely supernatural. I have a lot of faith because of many answered prayers but this vision, with my eyes closed was such a gift to me to remind me that there is life after death and now more convinced than ever.
What I found out later was that was affirmation that God was going to take care of it. And guess what? The kid is doing great and the doctors were amazed how fast he was out of the hospital and required very little of the rehab they all thought he would need.
I never thought I would need to see a vision as I’ve had many, many answered prayers to discount there is a God. Other than the beauty of the world we live in and the amazing way we are put together, I never felt or asked God to give me a vision. I never thought I needed one. I know some people had seen visions when they prayed and knowing who they were, I believe them even more now.
I feel people to need to actually humble themselves and ask God to reveal, in his own way (not necessarily a vision as I already was getting more blessings than most people get in their lifetime). Man can be pretty arrogant with all the technology we have to keep us alive but God has the final say and we accept that.
My husband and I are members of a church but we also do our own missionary work, taking in homeless people who became homeless by no fault of their own. We feed, clothe and shelter them just like Jesus commanded as we are to “feed His sheep”. There’s a misnomer as most non-Christians think we “act” like sheep, i.e., follow and submit ourselves to His teachings but let’s face it, He’s a pretty good role model.
I’m not a religous person. I read the Bible for inspiration about once a month even though I go to Bible study about twice a month (I work some Sundays). I tithe to help support the wonderful mission work our church does to help the needy and the prisoner or former prisoner. I’m not a Bible thumper because Jesus wasn’t one. Men of the cloth are just fallible men and I really believe that it would be arrogant to force my faith down someone’s throat as Jesus didn’t use that tactic either, according to the Bible (not withstanding that little tempe incident with the money-changer’s tables).
If someone asks me why I’m so happy and positive, I’ll let them know it all started when I believed this phrase about what faith really is. “You’ll see it when you believe it”. Yes, it actually works the other way than what mankind is always spouting about doubting the impossible.
So that’s my experience and that’s why I’m not worried about this crazy world and those crazy Imans in Iran and Osama and company where ever they are. I enjoy everyday I’m able to get out of bed by my own power as I took care of many who couldn’t without my assistance and I just make sure I keep paying those life insurance and long-term care insurance premiums paid up. Then those less fortunate ones left behind will at least have some money to spend in my name while I’m up enjoying the freedom from our mortal coil (and toil, for that matter!).
Have a great day while you’re still here!
If I wasn’t so tired, I would have caught all the grammar and typos but it’s late and I’m pooped!
I wished everybody had the faith I have and the love that has been shown to me and my large family by God and I’ll never deny He exists. With all the evidence I’ve seen and experienced over the years, I’d be crazy to believe anything else. I’ve always felt very connected to God and he’s shown how much he really cares for this child of His…Okay big child as I’m 54!
Got to go God seeker,
Oh ye of little faith…
If there is one thing i am certain about, it is that there definitely is a God. He appeared when I needed Him most, and He is for real. And He is not the impersonal Taoist “force” that New Agers believe in, (Lord, what is the world coming to?). Atheists are going to get one heck of a surprise when they move on. Although I believe that deep down they believe in God too, they are all just probably uncomfortable with the fact that they will have someone to answer to when they die. Search for Him earnestly and believe in Christ. Then you will see Him revealing Himself to you.
God bless you all!
How can the world’s sin be a joke?
I am 100% positive that God is real. His plan is perfect. His ways are perfect. I will never believe anything else or even half the truth. Maybe God has reasons for causing all these tragic things to happen. MAYBE HE HAS A PURPOSE…BRINGING MORE TO CHRIST. Amen.
God is made up to establish a reason/way to live their lives with morals. Just like when a sad movie makes you cry, religion makes you happy. Believe in god if you must, i really could care less.
This is amazing. This is interesting. I was searching for a picture that would grab my attention. I wanted a picture with a beautiful blue sky and somehow have God in it. I got both
And when I read the story behind where this picture came from, I was amazed! An atheist. Wow. I just want to say Roger, Thanks. God DOES WANT TO TALK TO US 
His STRONGEST desire is for us to LISTEN TO Him. It may not be easy, but where there is a will, there is a way. God really does exist. Haven’t you ever felt His presence in You? You don’t have to see Him, but He’s in Everything and in Everyone. That’s the Beauty of God. He’s INCREDIBLE. He’s Amazing. He’s Grandiose!!! 
) I Hope your Faith in God has GROWN in You and in Your Life 
God Bless You!!!! And We LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^ Take care!~
The only evidence for the existence of a God comes from testimonies such as yours. Unfortunately, many of us don’t have such experiences, and we atheists believe that these “experiences” are self induced; in other words, inventions, or as Richard Dawkins would have, delusions. I think that we human beings have enough on our plate in order to make love, justice and freedom realities in our world that we are better off without either organized religion (which is usually an agent for intolerance and violence) or communications with an alleged personal God unless that communication frees us from intolerance and motivates us to struggle for peace, freedom and justice.
