G‑d and Us

The other day I realized that I hadn't seen G-d in quite a while -- probably not since childhood... Where did I misplace Him?

"Believe in yourself. There's nothing you can't do, if you put your mind to it. " Nothing you can't do? Sounds pretty divine. A pity it's not true...

The statement, “I believe there is a G-d,” is meaningless. Faith is not the ability to imagine that which does not exist. Faith is finding relevance in that which is transcendent.

If your faith in G-d is not enough to get you out of bed in the morning, what about G-d's faith in you?

I realize that I don’t like this idea of one day not being here anymore. Perhaps G‑d and the eternity of life are just constructs of our mind to protect itself from that which it can’t handle?

"Only on the firm foundation of unyielding despair can the soul's habitation be safely built." Who said that? Does anyone believe that?

I think G-d is also agnostic. He sits there perpetually wondering whether He exists or does not exist. Out of His questioning, a whole world is generated--with beings like us that go around asking, "Is this for real, or what?"

If G-d is perfect, why did He create us? A perfect being isn't missing anything, so why would He need us?

I would like to think that if I mess up, G‑d eagerly awaits my return, and when I perform a mitzvah, G‑d is pleased. But this contradicts everything I was taught about G‑d...

What's the difference between No-thingness with a capital N and vanilla nothing with a lower case n? What makes one Nothing G-d and the other just nothing?

I feel that I cannot observe a religion if I am not certain that it is true. Is there a proof that could give me a 100% certainty that G-d exists and gave the Torah to the Jewish people?

How do we reconcile our religious belief in Divine Providence with the mechanistic world we seem to live in?

A personal G-d? It would be nice to think I could have a personal relationship with G-d, or that I matter in some way to Him. But I'm a rational person.

I got into Jewish things and spirituality around a year ago, and I was feeling really motivated and inspired. But now I just don't have the passion for it anymore. What happened?

Here's the paradox: Goodness exists because G-d desired it; evil exists because G-d doesn't want it...

When did G‑d stop talking to us or interacting with us, and why?

What's all this business about being "G-d fearing"? What are we supposed to be scared of?

The difference between love and respect is that when I love, I am preoccupied with my feelings toward you; when I respect, I am focusing on your presence rather than mine...

I don't mean massive temples with human sacrifices. What about a civilized idolater, in the privacy of his own home? What's so terrible?

We have one G-d. So do they. We pray to Him three times a day, they do five. So what was the point of this one G-d idea? So that people could get blown up for eating pizza?
