I'm not exactly religious, but sometimes I feel like another force is at work when things go wrong or right. Sometimes I admit it is my fault when things go wrong, other times it feels like something I or anyone else couldn't control and it was way too coincidental.

The OP isn't clear enough. What kind of God are you talking about? The one dictated in whose scriptures? How can you define which God I get to meet if this hypotetical scenario on which he exists doesn't make it clear what God are you referring, or the extent of his will depending on which one we're examining?

So in short, you would still hate God, because your readings of the bible make you think God is the vilain of it, that murder, rape and torture for fun.

I do not take away the right of understanding the way you do, but I would like to make a few considerations.

The Bible tells a complete history, each chapter deals with a particular subject, or even particular era in history.

So, if we would create a timeline, it will go like this:

Creation - The first Temptation - The falling of man - The promisse of redemption: This happens in the very first 4 chapters, so, through the 39 books of the OT you have a clifhanger, the waiting for the redemption God promissed, when he talked about the consequences of choosing to not trust Him.

We also stablish two things: Lucifer invented lying and God can not lie. Lucifer´s falling is described later in Isaiah and Ezekiel and his M.O is detailed in Job. The reason of this falling is detailed in the Letters of Paul, spoil alert: It was pride, he wanted to be God.

So, after that we have:

- The promisse to Abhraam, the Exodus of Moses, the Kingdom of God (Israel), the Judges, the royal line of David, the decadence of Israel and, finally, the prophets.

The murders you mentioned are, of course, part of the wars of conquest to stablish Israel Kingdom. And in no moment God laughed or found pleasure in these wars, but they where necessary. And the rest of the world belonged to the host of heaven, not god, the fallen angels.

All of this is in the book, to believe or not is a choice, but, as I said, to simplify it is not possible.

So, all the murder and violence is the consequence of the very first time we turned our backs to the real source of all life and light, and because now this world belongs to satan, till the final act of this epic.

We are not automata, we all have real freewill, but God, knowing everything, is not hostage in this amazing history: in the end every single piece will fit where He wants, because there is no stopping God.

The rageful greed Judah acted by choice, but also served his purpose, so did Hitler and any evil person. Cause there is no rebellion that can really harm God.

What is the meaning of it all, according to the Bible. To realize that we are sinners, evil, and left to our own devices, our destiny would be doom.

Being born again is this realization, followed by a newfound love and trust in God´s escape pod for all this desolation: the Lord Jesus Christ.

God´s plan of salvation is the only perfect way to redeem people that really trully love Him BY CHOICE, not because of fear. Because we see all around people that hate Him.

The born again fear His mighty, but love and trust Him deeply. A born again christian loves God so much that he is thankful for every breath God gives to him, and he realizes we are not deserving of any of God´s gifts, but we do deserve wrath.

This sounds disgusting to the unbeliever, and it is written that it must be this way in scripture. It is all there, there is absolutelly nothing not written.

The endless genealogy old Earth theories, the sciences objections that would give atheists a moral stand to deny God, it is all in prophecy.

This is, of course, our belief. One can deny it, but to oversimplify it is not wise at all, because it is not a simple text, neither it is a product of a dumb mind. the 40 authors of the Holy Bible where, at least the most impressive minds of the planet, or, they were inspired by God himself.

So, you have to understand what is going on in each chapter, what era is in effect.

It is like I tell you that your grandfather killed 57 people.

Then you tell me I am a liar and your father is no murder.

Then I tell you he is no murder, the 57 people were nazi soldiers and your grandpa was a GI in World War 2, he liberated a camp were 8000 jews would be executed.

So, you have to understand the context.

God said that He take no pleasure in the death of the one that dies, so to say he does is a lie.

And the only thing He can not do is lying and abiding in evil. The very things that give power to the evil one and his angels.

This, of course, is religion, one can just think it is a lie. But, it does belong in a lore that makes absolute sense in itself, and even if it was a work of fiction, any contradictions would be a product of not understanding it correctly, because, as a narrative, it is flawless, the most impressive work of art ever made. Specially when you think the authors took 5000 years to write it, in different eras and places.

One can think it is all a lie, but to attack the integrity of the text is just partial understanding. 

Wright, you are a smart man, just answer based in the God you perceive as the one we are talking about.

Say "if you mean the God of the Bible, then..."

Or "If you mean the God of the muslins, then..."

Whatever you want. If I did not give you any restrictions, then it is up to you. It would be draconian to fix what God would present himself to you, but I did said that this God would be the real deal, no small g, the creator and the very thing that keeps life going.

So you decided that logic and reason take second fiddle to... comfort? Because it's easier for you to deal with the loss of your father and dog if there is an afterlife than if there isn't. So essentially you abandoned atheism, and now believe in a higher power because it makes you feel better.

Don't get me wrong, it's your own personal beliefs, and you're more than entitled to believe whatever you like. I'm not here to judge, I just find it fascinating.

Very interesting, scripture tells us that there is a war going on in the ethereal plane, a struggle between good and evil forces. I myself sometimes feel evil or good very close to me, like almost watching me.

Like last night I felt like something entered my room when I layed down to sleep. Then I started to praise God and Jesus and call for protection and the thing left.

It is weird, one must numb himself to be able to not realize that there is a world beyind the physical, is not the other way around. 

With all the distractions, tv, games, eletronic devices, it is getting easier to not perceive the unknow, but it is still there.

The hypothesis is either supported or not supported.  There is no third possiblity.  If it is supported, the hypothesis is accepted.  If it is not supported, the null hypothesis is accepted.  The null hypothesis does not mean the hypothesis is false, it means it can not be demonstrated to be true.  

With that being said, if you believe the bible is an accurate representation of god, then he is, at some points in time at least, physical.  In the bible, he interacts with the world in ways that should be clearly detectable.  So there is no reason why it should be impossible to support his existence, unless he does not exist.

Good for you Shikamaru317! He is absolutelly real, I agree. And deserving of our love and respect, no doubt about it! God bless you!

If you mean Jehovah then I'd feel pity for such a creature.

Hating it would only lower me to its level.

Knowing that he exists, I would definitely love him. If I'd ask him questions? Of course.
