Question existence of god

If (you believe) there is a god, how do you perceive his existence in your life or in this world? Is it a feeling? Or does he materialize in any way shape or form?

God is my co-pilot. But the Devil is my bombardier.

I see "God" through an particular understanding of the world. ("Seeing" is a metaphor for "understanding".)

i totally agree...trying to sound clever, i believe that that is called the teleological argument where the beauty and splendour of the world could not have happened per chance therefore Divine intervention must have occured. William Paley was famous for this, wikipedia it if interested

I know for sure that there is God. I feel His presence everywhere. This whole great universe is replete with signs of the existence of God, the one God, the Creator of all.

Apparently, "God" is what some mystics call the reality perceived when the subject/object dichotomy in conscious thought abruptly ends while the continuum of experience remains. The mystics who call that experience "God" tend to come out of cultures that are dominated by the notion ultimate reality is deity. Such as cultures where the Abrahamic faiths are predominant.

I see God, not as a person, but as a mass spiritual positive force and the Devil, not as a horned beast, but as a mass spirtual negative force.
