Is GOD Real?

Is God real? Or is he just an escape for weak minded people? I"ve come to the conclusion that God is very real and He exists in every one of us whether we choose to believe in Him or not. If we choose not to believe in Him that does"nt make Him any less real it just means we made a choice not to believe for what ever reason. God gave us the power of choice, free moral agency. He does"nt want robots under a spell that just do what ever we are programmed or to blindly follow the leader without regard for truth and justice. He wants children who love and honor Him as their Father. Children who look to Him for guidence and direction. Just the same way as we would like our children to be to us. His Word says "my people parrish from lack of knowledge". So to better understand God we need to look at His word.
The best source for the wisdom of God is still the inspired Holy Scriptures, The Bible. The reason why I believe in this book is because it has survived through the centuries despite all attempts to destroy it. Some have argued that God"s word has been distorted by mistranslations and interpetations, that may or may not be true, again it"s a matter of what we choose to believe. Close examination of the Bible only reenforces my belief in an all powerfull creator of heaven and earth who I choose to call my God.
Those who choose not to believe in God have no hope in a much better existence after we die. All that matters to them is what they experience in this life, as short as it is. To me, that renders this life pointless and meaningless.
Evidence of God is all around us. Look at all the designs in ever living thing. Evolution cannot design life! No matter what these misguided minds try to teach us there are still to many unanswered questions about our origins that can only be satisfied by the existence of a Creator. And if God does exist, and I believe He does, would"nt it be wise to consider getting to know Him? And even embrace Him for who He is? It would be utter foolishness to reject Him and insist that all there is to life is our 70 or so years then we die and have nothing more to look forward to than oblivian.
I believe there is more to us than just our fleshly existence. I believe God created us in His image, which is spirit,and then gave each of us a body of flesh to inhabit. We are spirits having a human experience not humans that may have a spiritual experience. This makes way more sense to me than any thing the "New Agers" teach. I can only express what I"ve learned over the years and try get this point acrossed to who ever will listen, not to gain any recognition for myself but only to bring glory and honor to the One who gave me the power to understand. I"d much rather go thruogh this life with Him than without Him.
Have you noticed that believers in God overall have a better attitude in general? That they seem to be happier and better adjusted to life? Believers for the most part live longer than non-believers. Poeple of faith tend to be more generous and helpful to others, that tells me that God is good for us. Poeple who choose not to acknowledge God are probably afraid of Him because they have been taught false doctrines by churches who want nothing more than to control the masses of people in order to become powerful and wealthy. Look at the history of some of the major so called "Christian" churches. It is really shocking to see what has happened in the past in the name of Christiaity. The early christians, the first followers of Jesus would be shocked. I'm sure they are looking down from heaven and shaking their heads in disgust at what they see. Their faith has been hi-jacked by greedy self-rightcous teachers of lies.
