How could God exist?

I have always pondered this question, but I could never find an answer.
If God exists, why does He allow fucked up things to happen?
This is the same 'God' that let Hitler exterminate millions of innocent people.

I see it like this:
God did not create man, but man created God out of fear and ignorance.

Just a thought.

I would agree that your proposition is the most probable, but a very large margin.

Yea i had the same thought before. I think "god" was created by man in order to be able to explain certain shit that we don't know how to explain. So pretty much it goes like this...

Question) Why did this horrible thing happen to me?

Answer) Because god wants you to learn from it...

.....which i think is totally bullshit, why would god make people suffer so much if he can just make them avoid it..?

watever

replace the bolded text with the follow:
  • Odin
  • Thor
  • Amon
  • Zeus
  • Krishna
  • Apollo
  • Vishnu
  • Wendego
  • Aakuluujjusi
And many more, then attempt to answer your own question.

You can disproove religion but you can't disproove God...

And the God I'm talking about does'nt have a name or shape or form.

It's really hard to explain since theres no logic behind that statement

buts thats the thing your not supposed to understand it.~Turk

Well, I'm not going to be getting into a huge regilious Freak out here, so I will just say this: Humans are able to make choices and every action in life is a choice. A choice to do one thing can lead to several bad things happening or good things for that matter.

Precisely!

That is called ad ignoratum, another logical fallacy which basically says that a specific belief is true because we don't know that it isn't true.

No one has yet been able to prove that humans are able to make free choices though.

Anyways the problem of evil has been known as a reason against the Christian philosophy. This kind of reasoning may not work for all religions, but it does help to disprove the Christian idea of God, Heaven, and Hell, while also giving insight into free-will as well. The insight into free-will is that, all power is in God, so all our choices are made by God-- including evil ones-- meaning God is either not omniscient or is not omnibenevolent. And the very idea of the existence of Satan implies that God is not all-knowing or all-powerful(would've seen Satan's defiance coming).
=
An interesting note that was brought up in my World Religions class last semester-- some of the stories of the Old Testament might have been adapted from Polytheistic people. Many times in the Adam and Eve story there are odd references and God is at times mentioned as god in lower-case.

Yes, you have seemingly been the only other person on this site to come to the same conclusion.
