My first philosophical experience about the existence of God
MY FIRST PHILOSOPHICAL EXPERIENCE ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
I remember taking my first philosophy class in year one when my lecturer asked a general question about the existence of God. The question made me angry and sad as I thought in my mind if it was right for me to take the course, but I had no choice because it wasn’t optional. As time went on, the course began to interest me. I started sitting at the front row and in no time my mentality about the existence of God began to change. I began to ask myself if God really existed and if he did, I needed evidence to prove this.
As time went on, I began to gather up evidence about God’s existence but the ones I gathered such as the ones my parents passed to me and also the general knowledge I acquired about His existence wasn’t strong enough. This new belief prompted me in asking my mum silly questions such as: if God really existed and if He did, I needed her to prove it to me. This question of mine really angered my mum as she shouted at me and asked if I was ok. But deep down in me, I knew I made my mum sad and unhappy because she started acting strangely and I knew she wondered if I belonged to a society in school that was influencing my thoughts.
I was also unhappy seeing my mum this way and I asked myself if I was on the right idea. I needed more evidence if I was to prove my mum wrong. I spent almost all of my time searching for stuff on the internet, but what I was able to gather proved to me that God existed.
The universe had a start which only a supreme being could have caused. Scientists are convinced that the universe began with one mighty explosion known as the Big Bang. The universe for sure had a start which no scientist has an explanation for.
The universe is being ordered by natural laws. Although I admit I don't know a lot about natural laws, I was able to figure out that these natural laws didn't just spring up from the air. These laws came from somewhere, if I did believe in "right and wrong," who then gave me the conscience and of what use then does it exist?
Lastly, I figured out God existed because He is constantly seeking for everyone. I began to feel His love and soon I was just so amazed when I finally proved to myself that He did existed.

God really does exist. Questions may be asked but if common computers without as much complication as the universe have creators then how much more the entire universe? God exists, and he is the creator of the universe.
I think this is a question that most intelligent people ponder at some point in their lives. Regardless of your conclusion, I applaud your using your mind, looking for evidence, and wanting what you can accept as truth.
Did your lecturer ever mention The Problem of Evil? If not, google it and start your thinking from there.
I would also like you to consider why you don't believe in Amadioha or Shango.
I think this is a very personal problem on how we relate to the existence of God. I like your blog, so I upvoted and followed you to read more.
