I'm actually Hindu, so I don't follow the Bible and have not read of the passage that says not to test God.

But in general, most of you are missing most of the point. I know that if I ask God for something right now, I won't get it. Be realistic, if I asked that somehow that girl will call my phone today, it just won't happen. The important part of the story is that this event was the stepping stone, or the little push I needed, that prompted my faith to grow.

What if it was my time in life that God wanted me to come closer to him. After all, my prayers were not solid, maybe God thought that answering this prayer would help lead me on my path? Maybe God has different plans for many of you which is why you haven't had an experience like this. You might even live your whole life without finding that feeling you get when you pray. There could be reasons for this, I don't know. All I am sharing is that this experience played an important role in pushing me in a certain direction (be it right or wrong). Take it for what you will, and maybe some of you can relate also like Nintu did.

Not commenting on the god exists/doesn't exist portion of the blog. (You believe what you do, others believe what they do, I don't feel I have the right to tell anybody I think they are right/wrong or anything like that.)

However, I will comment on the Science of the blog. If you don't understand, just hear me out:

You, whether or not you know it, devised an experiment to prove to yourself whether or not god existed. It was very simple, if god exists, he could obviously grant you such a small prayer as to make one other individual that will be around you that day say hello to you, so if you ask him, and it happens, gods existence becomes more likely (although not proven), and if it doesn't happen, god's existence becomes less likely (again, not disproven). Keep in mind that this is a personal experiment, and therefore you are only proving or disproving god's existence to yourself.

Anyways, in this experiment, the 'Control' was the multitude of past days in this girls presence in which she had not said 'hi' to you. These days show that, under normal circumstances, the girl will not have a conversation with you.

The experiment was that, for one day, you asked god to make her talk to you. Under normal circumstances, if she had talked to you, this unlikely event would have made the existence of god more likely. Simple enough.

However, the circumstances on that day were not normal. This whole eye-test thing threw out all of your past data. Being brought into a much smaller group and put in a different circumstance all of the sudden made you a much larger part of her life for a short time. (Those of you in college, picture the difference in the likelihood of you talking to the person sitting next to you in a lecture hall class of 200-300 and the person sitting next to you in a class of 15-30.) You very quickly became more important to her than you usually are, and the fact that you had another class together was probably what got her to talk to you, imo, and not divine intervention.

Idk, I'm glad you found comfort in the events of that day, but looking at it from a strictly scientific perspective, your faith in god is the result of a flawed experiment.

He is saying that god wouldn't have to 'take a pause' because god is everywhere at once and not limited by time restraints. He is also being a douchebag about it, but I am sure you understood that part.

I think just 4th so long as he is (and I assume he is) immortal.

Explanation: If he is 4th he can see any point in time during his own existence, which, if he is immortal (and created us), started before us and extends infinitely into the future.

However he would need to be 5th to see times in which he did not exist. (I think.)

This is not from a science book that I get this btw, it is from Kurt Vonnegut.

well.. that constrains choice.... but i guess, based that God has set into motion a certain strain of events, 4th would be ok....

it just cant change ...

I really like your analysis of it, and I will even grant you your point about being in a really small group which increases the probability of her saying something to me. But there were actually many times that she could have said something before this as well. The class had about 25 students, and often we would have in-class group projects. Like we would get in groups of 4-5 students and make some poster on why smoking was bad or something. And I distinctly remember her coming over one time and standing next to me and talking to this girl in our group on the poster we were working on. She also sat in the row next to me. The experience wouldn't have been as profound if there weren't many other opportunities before that she could have said something. The fact is that there were tons of other times she could have said something, anything, but it was on this day that it happened.

serious?... yes...

but you have to think of time as merely another spatial dimension.... 4th being the displacement or connection between two points of 3 Dimensional space.

this doesnt take into account the possible wrapped dimensions... buts its a good representation

cool story, glad it worked out for you.

faith or belief or whatever is different from knowledge, no one knows god exists, some believe some don't.

though it is explained that one must have faith to enter the realm of god, and it is that "blind" belief that gets you through the gates, because well if everyone "knew" god existed then well the world would e a much better place ^ ^.

i am an agnostic XD yes i want to "know" before anything, but I have nothing against the believers, or faithful, those who believe to be spiritual.

i also think religion is organized crime. something about crusades and them being rich doesn't sit well with me ^ ^.

I still remember my experience with prayer, my dog was diagnosed with a terminal illness and to be put down within the day. At this particular stage in my life i was a rigid Christian, and i prayed and asked God to give me one more day with my dog so i could spend time playing with it and what not.
Turns out my dog started bleeding uncontrollably and had to be put down even sooner.

I don't think it was asking for too much to have one more day with my dog was it? I mean surely it wouldn't have change the fate of the universe that much..

I have more experiences with prayer, but i can't be fucked sharing anymore

Needless to say, since dropping prayer and religion altogether my life is just marginally better.
I'm more independent, doing excellent at university, socializing with fun crowds, the list goes on
It's better to burn out than to fade away

How I believe in God

Many people, especially on this forum, do not believe in God. After all, there is no proof, no actual evidence. Christians have the Bible which talks about Jesus and his life, Muslims have the Quran, Jews have the Hebrew Bible. Is what is stated in these books enough to justify the belief, the acceptance that some omniscient being exists in this universe who created us and watches over us?

Some people say seeing is believing. In my case, hearing was believing.
I will never forget this day in my entire life, it was the day God spoke to me.

In ninth grade, a new girl joined our class. She was the prettiest girl I had ever seen. Our high school was relatively small (about 1000 people), so I knew she was new immediately and I would often see her around campus. I didn't have any classes with her, and whenever I saw her, I would just admire everything about her beauty. It was a typical high school crush. She never talked to me, and I never said a word to her that year.

Fastforward a year to tenth grade. I walked into first period Health class with my best friend, sat down, looked around, didn't notice anyone in particular and went through the class. The second day, as I walked into the room I noticed her sitting in the class and realized that I must have not noticed her on the first day. Naturally my heart jumped, I became super self-conscious, did I look cool? Was every single movement I did perfect? etc etc.

We still never talked, I would sometimes look at her and then when she turn her head to me I would suddenly look away to pretend I was looking at something else (lol, I would cringe on the inside and hope she didn't notice I was looking at her, so stupid). When we would pass in the hall, I would look at her also and sometimes she would notice me. I think she saw in my eyes that I liked her or something, don't know, don't care.

It was in 10th grade that I began to question life. "What is the purpose of life?" was a question that was incessantly bothering me so deeply for such a long time. I would ask my friends what the purpose of life was, and they would respond with "I don't know" "To die" "I haven't thought about it yet" etc. I wasn't satisfied. I come from a religious family, so the fact that God exists was a possibility.

One day, during one of my deep reflections, I was contemplating Gods existence. I closed my eyes and prayed/said to myself that if God really did exist, then tomorrow that girl would say "Hi" to me at school. Basically I was offering a test to God, if God existed he would make this near impossible thing happen.

Next day was a hearing/vision test at school. They test the hearing and vision of every student and determine whether or not that student has any weaknesses. It was during first period health class that we had our test. Along with several other classes, we went to line up outside the trailer where they would test our hearing. Finally, when my turn came, a group of us students went in (like 11 of us). In that group was her. Because it was in the trailer type of thing, the seats were faced such that two rows were facing each other and each seat had side panels (like a booth). I was at the second seat from the end of one row, she was at the opposite row at the end (so like 4 seats distance). We were waiting for the test to begin. Some of the students were talking with each other. I was just sitting forward in my seat. Randomly, from the right, I hear "Hey GrayArea." I didn't look at her, nor did I say anything or make any change in my expression. Again I hear, "Hey GrayArea, did you really have an A in Hilmerson?"I turned my head to face her, saw she was looking to me, and then I turned my face back straight without saying anything and sat back in my chair so she couldn't see me. She asked the question again, this time I told her yes.

After the hearing test was the vision test. Our group was the last group to go in for the vision test. For some reason, mine and her tests took longer than the other peoples'. Because of this we were the only two still taking the test while everyone else went back to class. Finally, my test finished before hers, and I walked out and was heading back to class. Suddenly I hear, "Hey GrayArea, wait for me!" I looked around and noticed her running towards me as she tried to catch up. I slowed down so she could reach me, and we walked back to class together. I asked her if what grade she had in Hilmerson (Hilmerson is the name of a really hard English teacher that taught 10th grade). She said she had a B. That was all we said to each other, but for some reason I felt my attraction to her go away. I had gotten my impossible answer from God and was blown away.

Why was it that over the period of 1 and half years that this girl didn't say one single word to me, that on this very day she said Hey to me? Why was it that on she happened to talk to me on the very day that I had asked God to make her talk to me? Coincidence? Maybe. Culmination of all the times I looked at her and she noticed? Maybe. Luck? Perhaps. I don't know. What I do know is that from this day I realized God had responded to me, and that somehow, somewhere I knew someone/something heard me.

I don't consider this event to be the sole experience which verified to me that God existed. That would be pure stupidity. After all, like I said, it could have been coincidence. But, it provided for me the stepping stone I needed to take the leap of faith of believing in God. Whenever I prayed, I prayed with a sense of knowing someone was listening. I could feel something inside which felt as though God was within me. Every time I would close my eyes and pray to God, some energy would burst from within me filling me with this warmth.

Why? Because I prayed with the genuine belief that I knew God existed. Prior to that, I would pray with some uncertainty. Was anyone listening to me? Was I just wasting my time? There was no strong, central belief that allowed me to pray with my full heart.

What is God? Is God some external being that exists somewhere far away in space and is viewing the world somehow? Does he exist in heaven (where is heaven though in space?)? Is God some kind of essence that resides within our bodies? Is God just an idea created by our minds in order to help make us feel as though we have a purpose and place in this world and that someone is watching over us?

I can't answer any of these questions. What I can tell you though is that God to me is someone who is the source of that energy I feel when I pray, listens to me, and has an effect on my life and the world around me.


Many people at some point have questioned what you questioned and done the same exact thing and you know what happens? Nothing. They get spat on by your "God."

I do envy you, that you think your special enough for God to go out of his way to make something completely meaningless give you meaning. I wish I could have faith.

That being said, 2 stars.

this is one of the stupidest things I've ever read. You believe in something that is part god part genie.

Coincidence.
Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

The experiment was that, for one day, you asked god to make her talk to you. Under normal circumstances, if she had talked to you, this unlikely event would have made the existence of god more likely. Simple enough.

However, the circumstances on that day were not normal. This whole eye-test thing threw out all of your past data. Being brought into a much smaller group and put in a different circumstance all of the sudden made you a much larger part of her life for a short time. (Those of you in college, picture the difference in the likelihood of you talking to the person sitting next to you in a lecture hall class of 200-300 and the person sitting next to you in a class of 15-30.) You very quickly became more important to her than you usually are, and the fact that you had another class together was probably what got her to talk to you, imo, and not divine intervention.

Idk, I'm glad you found comfort in the events of that day, but looking at it from a strictly scientific perspective, your faith in god is the result of a flawed experiment.



Lemonwalrus way to rain on his parade, he thought he might have found a purpose to life, which included being faithful, honest, and and righteous, and you are ruining it.

sour-walrus indeed tsk tsk

Edit: Congratulations, this so far must be the first somewhat religious thread that hasn't catalyzed a holy flame war ...yet?

C'mon, of all the people disagreeing with him in the thread I am by far going about it in the nicest way.

(Although the last line of my quote there was worded kinda harshly, and for that I apologize.)
