What gap does God fill that highlights his presence?

Happiness?
There' millions of people who don't believe in a god but are happy

Love?
There are millions who feel love without any god

Purpose?
There are millions that have found purpose in their life in the absence of any god

What gap does God fill?

And if he doesn't fill any, then how is he needed?

tripplephi:


If God is your creator, HAPPY OR NOT, you will always need him.

HAPPINESS is a CHOICE........until you GOD does something for you that no one else could do then your HAPPINESS will be eternal
LOVE IS A CHOICE...... until you meet GOD then you will know your love has not be complete
PURPOSE is also a choice....... Only the creator has the complete manual for what he created, so until you meet GOD all your purposes may just be `1% of his original intent



GOD IS NOT AN OPTION.

If we assume "need" is something you can't be without
Then the two states of existence are with and without.
Are human beings now with God or without God?

If a man is with God then can he make a choice to be without God?
If a man is without God then how can you determine that he NEEDS God? (Eg. I can determine that a man without food needs food because he'll most likely die of hunger in a few days. Can you say the same about Man & God).

tripplephi:


A man needs God as long as he does not know how he came to be and what will happen to him after death..... FOR THESE TWO SIMPLE BUT COGENT REASONS, A MAN NEEDS HIS MAKER.

its basic and clear....

cihofo:


So your response is that a man needs God because of a lack of knowledge.

But how does that fill the knowledge gap? What difference does it make? You still don't know what will happen after death so how does belief in supernatural forces fill the knowledge gap in any way

tripplephi:


Lol, see how clueless you have been, there are worlds beyond earth, there are dimensions beyond the physical realms you are talking off.

DO not come here to challenge the idea of God when you have nothing better to offer.

Its a lost cause bro, people have died and come back even after days..... history has proofs, google them and they are not Nigerians, yet they have been to the other side and seen proof of what the Bible tells us, there is a HEAVEN and there is a HELL.... I probably would have been like you if I did not have my own death experience.... its not by force to believe but it is very myopic to judge the wealth/existence/character of your landlord by the size of your room.

Nothing you say can undo what God is doing and has done and will continue to do. All I can advice u is, if you are on your deathbed simply call out to him and he will help you.... I have seen atheists pray fervently to a GOD they did not believe when death was near. So you can keep yapping now... its for a while.... Just know that if you can not solve problems and give clear explanations to proven miracles, permunitions, prophecies, OBEs, then you probably are not worth arguing about this topic... cos IF WE FOLLOW YOUR IDEOLOGIES.... what will become of us?


So I can not force you to believe in GOD or in his son Jesus Christ, maybe they do not want you to know them yet... but I have met them and I know they are real, very real. They are not some voice in the head or heart.... they are real entities.

Finally, believe in whatever works for you... the END will always clear our eyes.

I will not take the COLOSSAL RISK of doubting in GOD then in the afterlife get a rude shock that it exists without a chance to come back and make amends.
