God is a fictional figure.

Well, being a religious person, I obviously believe in God. I can understand why people may lose faith in Him, but cannot fathom why people do not acknowledge His presence entirely. Obviously, this may get religiously heated, but I feel the need to try to inform others of his true existence. To begin, I would like to say that I am a Christian and more precisely one of the 1.2 billions Roman Catholics in the world. My opinion is that he is indeed real. To begin, God has been, is, and always will be the most important figure in my life. I can determine that he is not a fictional character because of all that man has accomplished and all that I do today. To explain, the idea that the universe just suddenly "formed" seems very improbable. According to physics, every reaction must have had a cause; in other words, every effect must have a cause. Surely there must have been an almighty being there to control this occurrence. To continue, think of the "evolution" of humans on this Earth. Once again, I don't see how such complex organisms would be able to evolve on the Earth were it not for a greater power to catalyze these reactions. He has watched over us and has guided us in the right direction since then. Though, one might bring up the recent state the world is in and claim that he is not protecting us anymore. Now that we have become so advanced, people have strayed from Him. He can not force us to worship Him, but instead lead us in the right direction of living a holy life. So, it is because people have replaced him with "more important things" in their life. Though, He is the most important, and if we continue to devote our time to Him, he will continue to grace his blessing upon us. To continue, I would like the discuss events where he has performed miracles. The Bible has written accounts of Jesus' miracles. From turning water to wine, to making a handicapped man able to walk, Jesus' life was a reflection of the holiness of God. Though, I do not want people to misconstrue my points. Jesus' life was not a way to show the power of God. No. Rather, God brought Jesus' into this world, through the Virgin Mary, to alleviate us of our sins. God is not trying to show off his power nor was Jesus. His life was a precedent for many of his disciples and followers. The miracles he performed through God were to show us that if we trust in God, we will be taken care of, and delivered into His kingdom after death. Jesus stated, "So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you." He points out that if one trusts in God, their prayers will be answered. Lastly, I would like to address the point I hear of often. People say that they don't believe in Him because He has let them down. With that point, the people should look at their lives. Surely God has not let them down if they are living. They are blessed with their everyday life, and all the gifts he has showered upon them, too. Their friends, their family, their food are all a product of God's watching of His followers. I encourage you to go to Church or to try to pray. It is your choice, but personally, I have to thank God for all that he has done for me, and for all the blessings he has given me. For these reasons and others, I believe that God is indeed a real, almighty, eternal being.
