are there some days when you feel God has forsaken you? be seeing you

yes.....

and then I find a way to reason or justify it

if in fact there is a God...and that is the big question...i sometimes think "He" has forsaken the whole planet...be seeing you

There is a religions forum.

God promised He would never leave you nor forsake you.

i can speak of such things without mentioning the G word.........

then self has only forsaken WHAT ITSELF REALLY WANT, and such feeling ONLY come to self, TO MAKE SELF "DIG" AND FIND WHAT IT "REALLY WANT"?

narrow it down to one sentence, THE ONLY THING YOU WOULD STAY ALIVE FOR, with nothing in RETURN, and you find the greater peace and love and passion and life that flow from yourself, in YOUR OWN HEART.....

go and serve the ONE and only ONE THING OR PERSON you care for, AND CARE NOT ABOUT HAVING ANYTHING IN RETURN FROM, and find what you have always been here to find, and SUCH AS THESE THINGS could not EVER be FOUND, WITHOUT each step and action and word that has come before now, and if one does this, no such feelings will EVER COME AGAIN, EVER.......

each have a cent, and add nothing itself more than one cent, LESS IT FIRST SEE THE VALUE OF OTHER CENTS.......

OFTLOG.

I absolutely love that song by John Mayer, Say What You Mean To Say.....

Yes, he did say that Even if we think he is, our problems are HIS fault...it's himan nature to blame someone and the first thing we do when things go wrong is blame God

what powers that be can't forsaken, for they are within you and all around you. it's all apart of greater wisdom, some of which will become clear in our lifetimes, and others that will elude us until we cross over to locale 2, there, you can find most worldly answers, but to find total love, you have to start the journey to your higher self. check out william buhlman's books.

That depends mostly on whether you think everything was god's plan or whether you're sharp enough to see that much of what is not right is man's best laid plans.

indeed i dare dispute this will all that is in me......

for nothing find unconditional love of "anything in the heart, less it first argue out ALL WITHOUT NO SHAME AND WITH NO REGARD AS TO WHAT IS GOOD OR NOT GOOD.....

anything more out of respect would not say here as not a religious forum as mentioned.....

if there was anything that EVER SPERATE "love" from itself, THEN IT IS A GLASS DARKLY THAT SEE THERE IS "NO SHAME" or there is no way to find EACH IT'S OWN INNNER TRUTH, which be what was ever called as good.......

IF ONE BELIEVE it is seperated from anything geater than itself, THEN IT HAS ONLY SPERATED ITSELF FROM WHAT IT LOVE, not seeing it only followed it's own self interest most, BUT ALL THINGS are meant to FIRST DO THIS, to impart to self the only thing that CAN CREATE AWARNESS, which is EXPERIENCING TWO "OPPOSITE SPECTRUMS", the same as to say, to LIVE out EACH some good, and some bad, some love, some unlove, some anger some kindness, UNTIL THE GREATER TRUTH from within see what itself "really wish" more than all others GIVING it a "wished word or actions", is REAL, and see the only REAL is what others really think, THE GOOD AND BAD, and hearing ALL things then, instead of "sensoring out" all that cause emotional pain as BAD, take one into ONE SIGHT, which will then ALLOW NOT JUST THE "HEARING OF SOME PAST WORDS", but the TOTAL FEELING OF THEM, as to LIVE THEM OUT.......

the DARKEST part of the journey, IS JUST AS NIGHT, darkest just before THE DAWN.......

unpeace can lead to nothing but peace.....

That all depends on how you define "god" of course. I don’t believe in the biblical interpretation of godhead so no. That would be like saying on some days it feels like the tooth fairy has left me high and dry.

Yes well there is always the bigger picture to wait on. We can rest in that God is in control even when we go thru stuff.

Sometimes you just can't be a wimp like an unbeliever. That's what God's word refers to as "be strong & of a good courage."

I’m not sure that I would characterize people who don’t require the belief in god as "wimps". Quite the opposite in fact.

Well, This "wimp" as you put it, has done a tour of duty in Afghanistan, at some points, being "outside the wire" multiple times a day.

As ironic as this may sound there has never been a day in my entire life when I felt abandoned by God.

God has been my best friend from birth and that has never changed in spite of the human-created disease called "Religion" and "dogma".

Religion is just mankind's way of pretending that HE is God.

So keep fighting the good fight of faith. When you get weary rest in your God who doesn't faint or get weary. He never leaves us or forsakes us. You can count on that.

BTW...I didn't call you a wimp.

You just called non-believers wimps. He is an Atheist. He has also served a tour of duty for his country.

From you comments, I can only assume 1 of 2 things.
1. You have never really read anything I have posted in this section, as I have mentioned several times that I am Atheist, in threads you have participated in. or. . .
2. You are going by that old saying:"There are no Atheists in Foxholes. If that is indeed what you are doing all I have to say is:

As far as my beliefs are concerned.
