@Ironic_Method I don't feel that anyone deserves essentially random good things. I mean coincidence will obviously sometimes tip in your favor. Also, if you work for something, achieving it is not exactly unexpected. So when I made a concentrated effort to get a girlfriend, it worked. Yet some good things happened in relation to me that I did not make an effort to achieve. These things were also supposed to not work. I had a former friend in college who got mugged and put in a coma. He was hospitalized and not supposed to wake up. Even if he did, the likelihood of him being able to do much of anything was low. He woke up and while he's a bit slower than he was (due to extensive brain damage) he appears mostly normal. So overall, good things happen to everyone. Good things will eventually happen to people who work for them. Yet, at a certain point, the amount of good coincidences become too high for anyone to believe it's just good luck. There has to be some external power working to make it happen. Ask and ye shall receive.
@Ironic_Method They do. Even if they don't recognize them. I am generally regarded as a good person, like more than most people. That's what I'm told, I just do what I do and that's who I am. I don't try to be good, but I guess I am. Not everything has gone the way I wanted it to. A lot hasn't. I also almost died, which most people would consider bad. I was actually supposed to die twice with that. Once before the operation (I think I was either 3 or 6 hours from death). Also I was supposed to be in a PVS after the operation, which I see as dead. Yet I lived, so that's not a bad thing. It's like if a bad thing happened, is there any good side. If your hand got crushed but you got paid more than you thought for putting up a building, then there's a good side to a crushed hand.
They don't get help because they don't ask and believe that it will be done. Also, James 4:3 - "You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures."
@Daniela1982 So why so many babies dying? Sick god you believe in. Many people with diseases pray for it to go away, never does. Why even created all these diseases that kill you?
@Paul09 First of all, some diseases were created by man. Some dug up old shit when it was buried and brought it back up. Why are so many mothers killing their babies these days? not everything is God's doing. God has no obligation to hear the prayers of the unsaved except one. But if you are one of His children he hears. Even Christians don't get their prayers answered all the time. At least not when they want it. He may answer down the line a bit when the timing is right. If you ask for a million dollars I'm pretty sure you won't get it. But even a "no" is an answer to prayer.
@Daniela1982 I'm saying babies that are born dead. Or born sick, déformée, blind, deaf, blind & deaf. etc. Why so much hate, racism, war. Innocents die everyday. Humans are the disease to themselves and this beautiful planet. Oh and why is your god more real than other religions gods?
@Paul09 Babies are hurt by the environment or because their mothers are crack whores. Is that God's fault? Our environment is so polluted it is a surprise babies aren't born with 2 heads. Why don't you ask all the women who get abortions this question.
@Daniela1982 Why do we need more humans tho? Some women get raped. And they are suppose to have the kid? Even if they didn't want? All religions do 8s over populate and cause trouble. Man created god. Not the other way around. Not 1 person Seen him, her, it , yet out if no where humans started to believe? I'm pretty sure Moses was on shrooms. God talking to him lol. He parts the dead with the tap of his staff? Sure

CULTURAL BRAINWASHING
That's the only answer you need here
Because he’s God the one and only that’s why
I have had too many miracles to not believe in God. My faith is weak at times but I know he lives to strengthen me each day.
Miracles such as?
Not a monotheist, but eventually too many good things happened regarding me personally for me to conclude they couldn't all be coincidental.
Question to that - do you feel like you deserve those things? Also, do you feel like good things happen to other people who deserve them?

What about all the good people that don't have good things happen to them?
@Ironic_Method They do. Even if they don't recognize them. I am generally regarded as a good person, like more than most people. That's what I'm told, I just do what I do and that's who I am.

This is not easy to explain. In simple terms I derive peace and strength from my faith.
Faith
and don’t leave ancient history and knowledge out
What a question. Because they were brainwashed to believe.
It's a good idea to cover all bases just in case.
Im muslim so i do..
Why do i?
I can see clues that there is a god..
But let me ask why not?
He helps contribute for everyone when I pray and/or predict.
they have to have an imaginary friend who they'd look up to and ask for help even though they rarely receive any help from hi/her/it
They don't get help because they don't ask and believe that it will be done. Also, James 4:3 - "You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures."

@Paul09 " Sigh" Why me Lord?
@Daniela1982 Just agree to disagree.
@Daniela1982 Leviticus 25:44-46
nothing in the universe comes into existence out of nothing. Everything has a creator.
Because His presence is everywhere I look.
I would not be where I am today without God
I was saved by Jesus Christ personally.
He turned my life around. I used to be a drunkard. I have not been drunk nor drank except a sip maybe once or twice since being saved in 2016.
I am an alcoholic so i can never drink a single drink again. I honor that.
Same with one of my uncles. He use to get drunk all the time cause he lost his mom at very young age. He prayed to God and it changed his life around.
Amen 🙏🏼 I use to party, club and drink until I was born again. He takes all that away
gotta believe in something
You do? Why?
cause he real bro
I grew up in the church
Because I am still alive and I am not that lucky.
Because he is real...
