In reading the various posts on this site, I have noticed that the subject of whether or not God exists comes up frequently.
The word exist comes from the Latin existere, which means to be manifest.
God cannot ever be manifest, because it is God that does the manifesting. Acts of God will be manifest, will come into existence. God, however will always be hidden. Its a pointless debate surely?

Post #4That's a very good questionSender wrote: Does Satan exist?
We'd have to start by defining what we mean by Satan.
For me Satan is the Lord of the human mind. After all, God and Satan were (are) good mates in essence because God is behind everything, so Satan cannot be greater. But Satan can be very powerful, manipulative and horrid...
What is your view?
Does God exist?
Post #5God is a celebral essence ....
God is a psychological being to everyone, where to seek refuge in time of crisis and something to cling-on, a shelter of emotion when everything are down the limbo and desperation. God exist within the inner self of everyone and always within reach in time of needs to sustain emotional pain and depression and at this particular mode, God will surely prop and boost well being to overcome oddities and will cause to tackle everything with full strength and inspiration. In conclusive, God is everyone's strength and inspiration.
And satan is just a negative manifestion

Re: Does God exist?
Post #7Thank you Hugh. You have presented one point of view. Others disagree. Your vision of God is highly subjective. Many theists hold that God is not a celebral essence but an objective reality. How would you support your point of view against such a claim?Hugh wrote:God is a celebral essence ....

Humans have always wondered how the world began, or how humans were created. When they couldn't find an answer, they created: God.
If there's a God, then everything is so easily explained. God created the universe, the humans, and pretty much everything.
