MANY SKEPTICS SAY THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE RELIGIOUS ARE JUST WEAK PEOPLE WHO NEED A CRUTCH TO LEAN ON AND THEIR RELIGION IS JUST A FARCE. DO YOU HAVE EVIDENCE IN YOUR LIFE THAT GOD IS REAL? HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED OR WITNESSED A MIRACLE OR ENCOUNTERED AN ANGEL? (This thread is meant to be for discussion not debate).
My Own Evidence:
Numerous times throughout my life, I have received money from very unexpected sources as an answer to prayer. The miraculous thing about it was that the amount of money I received would turn out to be the exact amount (to the penny) to cover the need I had prayed about. Throughout my life, this has also happened in response to prayer for better jobs, a house, a new car, a lost loved one returning home. Of course I cant say that every situation I have prayed about turned out like I wanted it to. The answer to some prayers has been "no", but I do know my prayers have all been heard and are still being heard. Of course my faith is not just based on material gain, That is a very small part of it. The peace and contentment in my life that faith brings, is the most valuable and most affirming evidence for me.
