I already believe that God does exist so I guess I would feel like "alright awesome, I knew it anyway"

This topic cropped up a while back, I think. Eh.
So, yes. I am hereby ripping off Sol's 'if god didn't exist' thread (ilu).
As it says; how would you feel?
If he does exist, fine. I am not going to scream and shout about it. I could care less. I won't feel any different than what I do now.I guess the feeling would be neutral.
Is no one seeing how OT God and NT God worked out? He tried to get involved and help his people. So he helped. He killed the evil and helped the Good. He tested the faithful in harsh ways but they got greater reward in the end. But God wasn't stupid. He was able to see what his influence on Earth was doing. Plus the rules were made by man because he gave them that power. (Also a bad idea) It says in the bible the world was getting deeper and deeper into sin. (History also tells us these exact same times where the recorded times of great crime. Learned that in history). Also his people were slowly forgetting him. But he loved us sooo incredibly much he sent his son to die for us. It really all connects. I ask you to read the Bible instead of quoting it. Everything does fit together in the bible and it does in a great enough way that teaches us of past thing's. (I'd also like to point out that alot of stuff people said was fake about the bible that was fake happened or was discovered. *Noah's ark has been found in Africa and a small village near the Red Sea. And there is more.)
Also you keep saying you'd ask God how he can keep letting this bad stuff happen to Earth. You never think God has asked the same thing?
As for what I'd say: God I had faith the whole time. Thank you!
"God, thank you for being a malevolent bastard and letting millions of people suffer when at any time you could have intervened. I thought you were an all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-omniscient guy. Guess what bastard? I will never worship you. Send me to hell to roast for eternity."
lol this is why discussing religion with teenagers is usually a waste of time
just pointing out how there are always the polar opposites, you rarely see something worth talking about
Btw pretty sure there has never been a global flood that covered the entire world
You know, archaeological findings. Not a biologist but that field would indicate so
You seem to forget there are other religions that believe in their own versions of the Flood
Muslims believe in the story of Noah's Ark, but we believe it was a local, perhaps continental(iffy on this one),flood.
And whadya know, turns out there was.
