There are no people in your life? You have to talk to an invisible man in the sky to find comfort? Do you have no family, no friends that care?

Yeh I have a wonderful Family who would do anything for my well Being.
I have friends who Love me.
But what happens if something were to happen to them?
What happens when there is no one around. No one to talk to, No one who i knows understands?

What happens? Nothing. That's life. You can't control it, and there is no personal, human-like god that is controlling things but pretending not to. If believing in god gives you solace in times of trouble, fine. I can't, and don't really want to.

I'll be honest.
When i didnt trust God, My life, well it wasnt so great.
When i started trusting God, Things seemed different, I had a better healthier take on life, and things that decieve us, and things that help us.

When you have a faith in something it is usually pretty definite. No matter how your life turns out just the thought of going to heaven is a relief in itself isn't it? You no longer have to doubt anything because you rely in a higher power and your tiny insignificant self on this Earth becomes something much grander. Religion is nice also that you have a group of people to talk to and have much in common with. Lots of people get lonely. Overall even if religion isn't the truth of the way the Universe works it is a nice escape from reality.

Yes People do get lonely and it is nice to talk to people who share the same beliefs, But i could Just as easily hang with people of the oppisite beliefs.
Its a choice, I could pick either side.
I chose God becuz he made me, I love him, and he derserves to be adored, For just as little as creating me, Let alone Loving me.

People who dont love or appreciate God.
I could hang with God-haters or maybe i should say people who dont really know him, Or i could Hang with people who adore him as Much As I do.
And what I ment was it was a choice between the 2.
I could hang with talk with people either way.
LOL

Did you find God or did you find a new way of thinking and perceiving things? Did you find God or a new set or morals and a new way to live? Did you find God or a comfort zone of security and knowledge? I think there are distinct differences. And while you can argue the latter comes with the former, it is more likely that the former comes alone.

I found God becuz without God the world would MORALY adrift.
God comes with morals.
God isnt Just a comfort zone, That is why people go from PA to Africa,
They go to places out of their comfort zones.(i am talking bout missionary work).
There is a whole book in the bible dedicated to knowledge (Proverbs).
But to simpley answer ur question I Found GOD my Maker.
