Thats not a question meant for atheists.Its a question which everyone of us has asked himself when we have found ourselves in trouble even after having the best of intentions .It also comes to our mind if we are selfless and observant enough to look the unexplained suffering around us.Different religion have described God in different ways but the basic definition tells us that he is the creator of all,the master of all powers and is responsible for everything that happens.As a matter of fact i have always believed that if there is any God ,he is too powerful and complete in himself to exist in different forms as explained by different religions.If he is so powerful and just ,why does he allow a child who is born in a remote village in Africa die of hunger while at the same time somewhere in America, food worthy enough to feed ten such children is being washed down by another child. In the same context I remember this Christmas incidence...
I had gone to a shopping mall just to catch on the Christmas sales going on there.It was then that i saw a man dressed as Santa Claus distributing gifts to the children around him.It was then that i perhaps saw a clear image of discrimination that even God does.While the person was throwing gifts to the children from affluent families,a guard stood by whose job was to keep away the children from slums who had arrived with a bleak hope of getting something from Santa Claus.I think when believers in God says" money can't buy everything" and"its all due to previous births",they are just trying to ignore the injustice done.Why does a man who has spent his entire life helping people gets run over by a truck while a murderer turned politician spends his days in comfort inside the government quarters?
Perhaps there are no answers to all the whys that i have put here but to be frank ,even i have felt the existence of a positive energy around in this world and its not when i have been to a famous temple or shrine.It is when I see and read about people like Mother Teresa,Mahatma Gandhi,Martin Luther who brought justice ,freedom and smiles to all around them.Its when i see hope in the eyes of people for whom there is no use of hoping.God probably exists as the good part in us because its that part that is capable of saving that child in Africa from dying,that part which can play a good Santa Claus when given the chance and that part which can support the good and fight the bad.We all in a way have the capacity of becoming the God .

good one man..Examples and experience to elucidate the existence of god..but the debate will never find its answer..probably we never want to accept and realise it
Ya one of my friends (ashish) always says...Knowing and accepting a Fact are two different things
where is God??...the ultimate question!!...may be without any actual answer...i guess it is more about His presence in our every day life than our belief in His actual existence...even a terrorist who brings about such massive suffering and death, claims to believe in God...may be the very belief in His presence in our every activity gives us this strange feeling of peace and strength...and as far as the discrimination between the rich and the poor, the healthy and the sick, is concerned, i think God has always shown us the way to help the needy...it depends solely on us as to how we recognise that path and hold out a helping hand to the needy...thus repaying Him in a very small way for the wonderful gift called Life!!!...
nice post...everything is perfect...once i had tried to write on the same topic,but was so much confused at that time that couldn't come to a final conclusion,still its in draft form.

And By the way you should allow anonymous comments!!!
this has got a bit of everything within itself!mystic contemplations, sprinkled with realistic thoughts...and a dash of awe...just plain Mesmerising!
topic ws tough one but u really draw
strong conclusion.even the richest or
d beggar remember god in need,difference is former ask rarely but the latter frequently.There is no god ; v all say sometime when v consider -ve aspect of life,but when its +ve then rarely one thnks him.
if v become thankful then surely we will find god every where bhaiya!!
