Religion is confusing me. by GuyWise101(m): 6:12pm On Mar 30, 2020
I am a young guy who once believed in God and loved the work of God but now some situations are drawing me to doubt the exitence of God.


If God is real why are there so many evil in the world? (satan?) is Satan that powerful that couldn't and havn't destroyed him since creation.


If God is real why is it that when we pray it will go unanswered (the bible says, even if we pray we can't change the mind of God that he works in his own time) so why then are we mandated again to pray all time according to same bible.

When someone die, we say it is God's plan, God to me looks like a dictator and not a father, he decides when to kill you without your consent even if you pray for more life it will go unanswered...


Religion and bible are confusing, I have change my view of life and have stopped decieving myself in the name of fasting and praying

Convid19 is spreading rapidly in Nigeria the headquater of prayer warriors.


Imams and Pastors in Nigeria are uncountable yet the God we worship day and night are silent on our prayers to eradicate sickness, terrorist and corrupt politicians in our country.


If praying and worshiping is working Nigeria would have been better than USA cause we have done enough of it since the white man came...... lol

What is Gods time; maybe when you have worked hard to achieve your dream).

Take a look at this...


King James Version
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Darby Bible Translation
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

World English Bible
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Young's Literal Translation
For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.

God remains supreme. No matter what.

OP, we are in the same shoes, but I have come to the conclusion that the so called God is not anywhere out there.from time immemorial, the world is too evil and vile to be created by any Man loving God/being anywhere. I Would have said that if a god created humans to just suffer and die, then what is the aim of creating man in the first place?? all in all, God is man made, he exist just in the imagination of man.

it happens i'm having a similar thought this time around. the account of genesis of fall of man doesn't make sense. i believe there's a higher being, but not in the form world religions put it.

They heaped every evil on satan and exempt God, at the same time when a percieved righteous man die young then it God's plan for him.


Satan was there in creation, he was there when jesus came and he is here destroying souls according to religion, I think satan is indestructible and satan is BLACK.

So what do you want us to do for you now?
--Are you infected with Covid19 and need treatment?
--Show you how your prayer will get answer?
--Prove God existence?

then I ask,

How will a merciful God kill someone in his young age and throw the family in a mourning state?
