   You don't believe in God, because you cannot see him, can you see the WIND?
   
   I know there are all sorts of reason and philosophy out there to deter you from believing in my GOD. Well my simple question to you is can you see the wind? If you cannot see God and that is your stance for not believing in a spirit, then explain to me your belief in there is wind blowing etc? because I have never seen the wind.

   Practically speaking, the existance of God cannot be proved simply by an analogy such as this. I'm not sure that the existance of God can be either proved or disproved at all. But I'd like to comment that there are scientific ways to measure and chart the course of the wind, besides the simple fact that we can FEEL the wind.

      Hi Rob yes i agree about the feeling we all know we can feel the wind but we cannot see it. So therefore science with their ideology of charting the wind. I can prove their is a good because i FEEL HIM IN MY SOUL just as we feel the wind. He is ALIVE

      I understand what you are saying. However, subjective experience (I feel him in my soul) is not the same as physically feeling the wind. The wind can be verified because everyone feels it. Your feelings about God could be feeling coming from yourself

      Ok Bruce! I am positive not only i feel him there, that was just one aspect of knowing that God exist but i was just relating my feeling as opposed to seeing with the wind, but feeling something and knowing there is a presence whether i see it or not

      Thanks for being polite, LadyF. As you can now see it all really comes down to opinion. Like I said before, I don't think God can be proven OR disproven in a concrete way. Belief in God comes down to having faith.

      Also we can say it depends on  who he will let himself be found. Many will not see him ,because they seek something else as being important . So when people do not believe that is real to them .Because God Almighty invites. No one is forced to accept

   You can ask your self . I exist ,I walk and talk, laugh, cry, smile, I exist, out of the many that could have been born in my place I exist. Many will never be born, but I exist.
   Not by my power ,but the power of the one who organized the cell, DNA, the one who program what my eye color I will have. What hair, I would have, what skin color.
   If man can make robots or machinery or electronics many things created with 10% of our  brain capacity then what can God do with over 100's and 100's of his power .he made the sun ,the moon the stars, the waters, the land we walk. And the many variety of animals. If we  we can make a habitat for animals ,like the many zoo's for animals and Aquariums for variety of fish, why would it be hard for A greater intelligence to create our home.  Our luminaries , our water sources. It is not hard at all .

   There is a large difference between emotional feelings and physical feelings. The wind blew a tree down in my yard. I physically felt the air on my face, I heard the tree snap, I saw the tree fall, and I had to physically move the tree the wind knocked down. Wind is blowing air, which is proven to keep me alive. Comparing wind to a God is comparing apples to watermelons. I don't believe in a god, however simply not seeing one is not my sole reason. However if I did see a god, I would believe, not worship, but believe.  If you choose to worship a being you can't prove, that is fine by me. It's none of my business what anyone believes until they start imposing their beliefs on others.

   You can physically see the effects of wind.  A tornado is made mostly of wind and you can see a tornado.  Hurricanes and wind activity can be seen on monitors, etc.  We can physically feel and measure wind.
   It's not really the same to compare God to the wind.

   We're all equipped with five senses, so we have more ways to perceive the wind than just sight. I don't think anyone would question the wind's existence when it's blowing them over. However god can be perceived with none of those senses. If he could, everyone would be a theist. And it isn't a matter of being open to him because the wind will still blow over someone who doesn't believe in it.
   
   However, even if we couldn't perceive the wind directly, we have ways to measure it. For example, a meteorologist in Florida could know that it's going to be windy in California because of a moving cold front he observes on his instruments. Or a scientist can observe the behavior of air particles using sophisticated machinery. So, where the human senses fail, technological senses can also perceive wind. But, god cannot be perceived with technical observations either.
   
   Since wind passes both the human and machine tests of existence, it's safe to conclude that it does exist. Since god passes neither the human nor the machine tests of existence, it's safe to conclude that he doesn't exist. That is the difference.

   With the right chemicals involved you can see the wind. It is actually a cool experiment. Religion is very much a part of society but remember you need all types of people to make a society a solid society. If everybody was religious and under the same religion than wouldn't life be lacking. What makes life interesting is meeting people with different views on the world. I would not want to live in a world where everybody was a atheist like myself because religious brings something to society that Atheism can't and the same for religion. Thanks to science, the world is a great place that is still involving and if they didn't exist we wouldn't have the advanced medicine, travel vehicles, and more push for rights. So instead of trying to put hate to people who do not believe in God be grateful they exist.

   Some people have 5 senses. Some have 6.
   
   The start of spirituality comes with a small, glimmering spark of the 6th sense -- a feeling in some unknown "direction" (or non-direction).
   
   The blind cannot see color. The non-spiritual cannot see spirit. It's their limitation -- their immaturity as spiritual beings. But like any child, we need to love them despite their tantrums.

    ...are you serious? That is your example? Just because I cant physically see the wind (although I can clearly see the effects the wind has on trees, grass, skyscrapers etc), means I shouldnt think wind exists?
    What type of shrooms were you taking when you thought up that comparison? Thats like saying humans dont exist to a blind person just because he cannot see them regardless of the fact that he can not only hear them but touch them as well. I can physically feel the wind, I can generate it if I flap my hands fast enough or use a plate. So not only can I feel wind but I can make it as well, so obviously it exists.
    
    God on the other hand has not been proven in the slightest. One cannot see god, one cannot speak to god, and one cannot physically feel god. So the logical conclusion is that god does not exist, but taking into account the larger than life question "Where did we come from", we cannot prove that god does not exist. The question "Does god exist" simply does not have an answer yet and may never have a definitive answer.
    
    To say that god obviously exists because the universe does is damn near mental when again, you cannot see, feel, or hear god in any instance that does not involve a mass delusional state or the most hard core drugs you can find.

    And why did you feature the monkey picture? Its message is that intelligence is linked to 'questioning everything you think you know'.
    
    So, it looks like you are saying that those who think they know their god but don't question the existence of god and their relationship etc are unintelligent. 
    
    Okay, well I see the logic. I can't really argue with that. It seems a bit odd though that you are encouraging us to view unquestioning believers as lacking intelligence.
