A while ago I go into a discussion with an old jewish friend who now doesn't associate with Jews at all. We started talking about whether God exists or not and why I believe in something that you have to prove but still haven't been able to prove . She strongly believed that God is something we made up a few thousand years ago and believing that praying is going to help us is completely unnecessary. It is basically just us talking to ourselves and thinking it is going to make life better. As the conversation moved on the obvious argument came up, if there is a God why are there evil people in the world?
To be honest I don't have a good answer to any of these questions so I usually end up answering the question with another question.
Why should we not believe in God. There is nothing to disprove that God exists and even if it were so, why can't you not believe in something that makes you feel stronger and gives a some kind of hope. It doesn't hurt anyone or affect anyone else. If it would do anything it would make us to better people.
Scientists always excludes God in their studies because science can not be combined with religion, but that's where they're wrong . There is nothing in religion that opposes evolution. We just think there's something else that has helped it as it developed. I think there is an explanation for why evolution happened the way that it did and whether it was God or just a massive coincidence doesn't oppose the whole part of believing in something higher than you.
Having to defend the existence of God makes me annoyed , especially when another Jew is questioning my faith. But despite the irritation I do believe in God and no one is going to change that. I defend something I can not prove because I know that if my belief is strong enough , it will give me strength and answers to the questions I have. One thing I've learnt is that if many people believe in the same thing it proves that it can't be all wrong. Yes, I know there have been many times when a lot of people have believed in something that wasn't for the good but from being jewish I haven't seen any values being bad so I don't see what would be so wrong with it. If we find strength by believing there is something more powerful than us it doesn't matter if it is proved or not, it is about how it makes us feel. I just hope that everyone who can not find faith will do it in the future because it has given me and millions of other people happiness in life that I do not think anything else can provide. Whether it is from God or the homeless man in the street, no one should tell you the faith you have needs to be proved because the fact that you believe in it makes it real even though no one else can see it.
