why to be believe on god???

i don't say not to believe on gods but my point is why to believe? i have not seen god yet nor any devil spirit nor i have met anyone who could prove me the existence of god. god has never given me until i have worked for it. once i performed bad in exams and prayed for god to pass but i didn't. which proves that there is no such things like god for me.

Have you ever met anyone who can disprove the existence of God?

god has never given me until i have worked for it.
That is life my friend, you have to work hard for everything.

once i performed bad in exams and prayed for god to pass but i didn't. which proves that there is no such things like god for me.
If you didnt work hard enough IMO you didnt deserve to pass, we make our own choices, another question why do you think your the most important person in the world and God has to pass "your" silly test? (not your academic exam but your personal experiment to prove his existence)

Another way of looking at it, what if someone else prayed to God and wanted you to fail? That means God must exist for that other person..

You may have not "experienced" God but I have. No, I have no scientific evidence or any physical evidence or even any evidence I can relate to anyone else, but it is personal evidence and it works for me.
That is why I believe in God, one of the reasons.

Of course not. It's a logical impossibility and you know it.

If I decided to believe in everything that wasn't disproved my head would explode.

People don't come to religious belief through critical analysis of established facts. People believe in the religions and world-views they were raised with.
Theism is emotional, not intellectual.

Had you prayed to your parents you would have experienced the same outcome. Does that prove that there is no such things as parents for you? Just curious ...

Same here for me.

I've even tried not believing in God anymore when I've been really upset with things, I've tried ignoring Him, pretending He doesn't exist...I have even tried being an Atheist...

Thing is, that while I'm trying so hard not to believe in God, He still believes in me.

I just have to hear certain spiritual songs...see certain images...witness a beautiful sunset across the ocean...the other day, I watched a cat give birth to tiny little kittens...

Last night, He just turned my heart inside-out again after I heard a hymn (bhajan) I hadn't heard in ages...tears were flowing and the more I tried to fight them back, the more they flowed.

I just can't help it!

Of course I cannot prove it, but God exists whether I choose to believe or not and to love Him can be both a blessing and a curse.

Just naturally do. It's part of my psychological makeup, and I don't feel like going through the massive headaches of changing that.

If you don't believe, then don't believe. If it's not relevant to your life, then don't bother with it.

I believe in spiritual beings/forces but it's most important for you to do your own work. I do pray, but I believe that through prayer I am marshaling power from my Higher Self as well as communicating with the Deity Who rules over that aspect. Ultimately, you're communicating with yourself and your Self is the one that responds.

If I may ask you the same question, than what would be your answer, niraj. :)
i have not seen god yet nor any devil spirit nor i have met anyone who could prove me the existence of god.
But, why are you looking for somebody to prove you the existence of God ? and which God ?
god has never given me until i have worked for it. once i performed bad in exams and prayed for god to pass but i didn't. which proves that there is no such things like god for me.
Your method of prayer is wrong.

Prayer need not any specific time, place, language. Thrills of prayer automatically start coming out of human body when one start doing full efforts to get success in any specific work. Doing full efforts with wholeheartedness, is truly a prayer, indeed.

Thus, if you failed in the exams, its just because you didn't did full efforts, or a true prayer. :)

My translation of this question is:

Why bother celebrating anything? Why bother being grateful for anything? Why bother seeing beauty and awe in the world?

No, to me the better question is why wouldn't you be doing these things. These things are what recognition of the gods is all about. I do not "believe" in my gods, my gods are. They are the things that I find worthy of worship: the things worth celebrating, the things worth being grateful for, the things that are beautiful and awe-inspiring to me. Find yours and you find your gods. :shrug:

i have not seen god yet nor any devil spirit nor i have met anyone who could prove me the existence of god.

Try those of us who see the sacred/gods/spirit as literally being reality itself. I'm pretty sure I can prove to you reality exists. =P And if not, I really can't help you out there. At that point you're at a level of philosophical skepticism that is too absurd for me to deal with. >_>;

god has never given me until i have worked for it. once i performed bad in exams and prayed for god to pass but i didn't. which proves that there is no such things like god for me.

The gods are not a "get out of jail free" card. Reality doesn't work like that, and I don't quite understand where people get this unrealistic expectation from. If I were you, I'd invest in spellcraft for these kinds of problems (and spellcraft isn't a "get out of jail free" card either, FYI), not begging gods for things. In my path, begging the gods for favor is kind of... it's uncouth. If you have an established relationship with the deity in question that's one thing, but blindly expecting reality to bend over backwards to make your life perfect is more than a little bit rude and arrogant. But again, that's just how I tend to see things... take with the proper grains of salt.
