Question
hello sir,i'm 20 years old male and i pretty much believe that god exists but i only say this because the reason i have heard about his existence came from religious guys which convinced me that there is some BEING controlling everything.i still haven't heard the point of view of an atheist yet.the explanation i was given was that since everything(car ,fan ,house,mobile,etc) was made by someone(in this case human beings),how is it possible that this world came to existence on its on.but the thing i'm confused about is if he exist why doesn't he show himself.even for this question i was given explanation but i wasn't satisfied.the other thing i'm confused about is if he really exist then which religion represent true god.

Answer
Hello Wakas,

Your questions are interesting to me, not because of the actual questions you present, but because it sounds more like you already know the answer, but just need a little convincing. The answer I think you know is that there most likely isn't any supernatural being out there making things on earth, controlling everything and hiding. As you say yourself, you weren't satisfied. And you shouldn't be.

I'm sure if you just questioned things logically yourself, without the religious people trying to persuade you about their supernatural gods, then you would most likely come to a similar conclusion that I share: there is no supernatural being.

Just think about it. If there was no supernatural being out there, what would the world look like? Exactly as it looks today. Beautiful, chaotic, poor, rich, violent, peaceful, indifferent. Just as it would be without any supernatural being, god, spirit or divine creator existing.
I hope you come to your own rational conclusion and don't just take what people say to you just because you cant see an alternative.

All the best,

Anka
