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.

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.

I agree, otherwise, we suffer from the negative effects of blind faith or fanaticism.gali wrote:All the time! One should always question things and not follow blindly.

I do not want to consider us as God's puppet. I believe that we are given the chance to choose whatever we want to follow but that is with accountability. Are there times when He left us? Well, that is the big question.Shreyoshi Sen wrote:I did question his existence once in my life. But today I regained my faith. I believe that we depend on God for every small situations of our life be it good or bad. If its good, God it there. If its bad ,God is not there. Though we are just mere puppets of his hands but somewhere we too are responsible for every situation in our life. God was, is and always will be there for us and that is the biggest truth.

Once again I think you are right @gali. I believe it's our duty to question what we believe. We can't just ride the coattails of others because they tell us it's right.gali wrote:All the time! One should always question things and not follow blindly.

Well, that is the big question.[/quote] i can't even think of a moment when I felt that he was not there with me. I thank him everyday for whatever he has given me. But yes, I do believe that whatever we are doing or will do in future, its because he has planned it for us.Shreyoshi Sen wrote:I did question his existence once in my life.
