If God's not Real, what's with the Karma?

Picture this: your brother just died of a car accident, and you hit that bridge in your life, where you might just want to stop existing all together. Driving on your way home from the funeral, you reflect on every good memory you and your brother had growing up in the same household and then making families of your own. He had a big heart. "Why did this happen?" He was a good person. Why did this have to happen not just to him, but to his family? Where are all the reasons in this world now?... Does God even exist?

"There is a God." People used to question this statement years ago, but as time goes by the question in the back of the mind, that lingers there, even as a serious matter, at times, when we go about our busy lives, is already beginning to become a belief that all people have already reached and agreed on these days. God does exist. Even if we don't want to believe it during the bad times or face the fact when the world is seeming to end, the apparent answer has become all-too obvious with each day that passes in your life, in some certain way or if not the other. Some people don't have a say in believing it and others don't have a reason to believe otherwise. More people are agreeing that they were made from something Higher and bigger, and there is, now, a so called trend to arrive at the thought also that there wasn't just an accident, like the "Big Bang Theory" to cause all the following accidents afterwards. Let's take some inner-thought on this matter and maybe you can conclude for yourself what you think of this subject, also, if you are still in, somewhat, any doubt at all.

There must be a higher being or what's with the karma at times? The Bible says it all, if you understand what you are reading, whether you like it or not. Why is it all true? When you follow a verse or idea it commands or it advises, why do you have more peace, happiness and better outcomes in your life? And why when you disregard, forget or ignorantly do something otherwise of its concepts, you receive, what's termed as, "bad karma". There is apparently rules and balance in our lives, this means, and something that is always at work that is higher and bigger than all of us. So we can then term, that the Bible is true, to that fact so far, if these "accidents" incidentally fall in line with the so called "accidents" of the Bible.

Let's mention the Golden Rule, if we are mentioning karma, also. The golden rule has been in the driver's seat of the vehicle forcing each passenger along in the balance of karma, everyday, since life began. All people know when you do something wrong towards another person, it comes back three-folds to you or even ten-folds. Why? It is an experience we all questioned as a younger person, but came to realize, as we grew older, to just follow the concepts and ideas of what is wrong and what is right in this sort of toss and turn in this balancing act.

"Do onto others as you would have them do onto you." The Golden Rule. The Bible says so. Love and care is real in this essence. Which leads to the next question, of how do we explain the fact that love is real without a God? Simply, we can state then that we are not robotic from this conclusion or made just from simple science. There are feelings in this world. Leading to the question of how do you explain the theories of science for existence if there is something bigger driving all of us.

Reason. Destiny. Experience. These all play a role. What is the purpose in our life then? We can ask now. Why are we here? Who can tell us with what basic reason we really are here on this planet?! (And what made this planet, even, to begin with?) Was it all a mistake? There must be a reason. And if there is a reason, that must mean there was an idea to begin with. To have an idea and a reason, or even a purpose, there must be something bigger and smarter than the rest of us to create all of these concepts: a Higher Being. With that decision reached at, what do you think you will do? Believe in science still, or take the much easier route and instill in yourself a common notion already arrived at easily, everywhere these days.

So that means there is actually a purpose? Our next question is not just a question, but a question that answers this first question. What's with the Emptiness? There is so many benefits of believing in a Higher Being, because without it we feel lonely. What's with the emptiness at certain points in our life when we question our existence and at the end of the day, no matter how much good we try to do to others or how much we have, we still want something more? This purpose of feeling this feeling, as if something is missing at some point in our lives, is because we are meant to believe in a God, since there is a God, and that is how life was designated. We need something to complete us, and that is done with Him. Does that mean we should follow the Bible? Well, if there is karma, and a God, and you actually take a look at all the coincidences it aligns with in your life, I think so. Believing in a God, changes your life, because you live it the way it was intended. And you usually find you are more successful in your endeavors or goals and desires, because you are living your life with meaning, direction and certain fulfillment. So, there is a purpose. Prayer and quiet time is the answer.

Yes, bad things happen, but also good things happen, and we don't know all the answers still, but to trust, first and foremost, that there is a God. I think this will solve a lot. That's the first and foremost important step, maybe, to make for the rest of your life. We need Him. So, all in all, is there evidence God exist? I think the evidence is all around us, and even, if you take a look further, also inside of you.
