Can people experience god?

[Chessman]

They say they do, and as God can't be proved or disproved, the same goes for these people. In the end, its up to you what you believe or not.

Personally I believe yes. However, it would definitely not be in a way that you could 'prove' to anyone else.

I appreciate that any experience I have could be perfectly reasonably explained away by any sceptic - the important thing is that I, myself, know.

I believe that anyone can experience God but that most people are not open to it - or may even dismiss such experiences as co-incidence etc.

As I said, can't prove it and would never try - it is far too contenscious (sp?!) a subject. All I would say is to stay open to the possibility - through prayer/meditation etc.

I believe that people have a spiritual experience, and whether that is of God or any gods depends upon their belief and their interpretation of that experience. Constantine (the Great) experienced God, but if you really look into it, it could have been just a convenient way to boost morale on his front line by convincing his troops that God was on their side.

I was raised with a strong catholic background, and although I can't say I have ever experienced God (not sure I would know if I did!) I can certainly say that whenever I visit Stonehenge I 'feel' something. Maybe it is the mysticism and history that I am feeling, and a longing for some divine experience. Or maybe it is just something else created by the atmosphere of somewhere that was once a truly spiritual place way back when. All I know is that I am open to this 'spiritual' expression, here on in a church, but experiencing God - I can't say it has happened to me.

Of course they can--you can see them mumbling and shuffling and dribbling in all our major Cities.

yes peoplecan experience God... I was praying and a man came up to me and told me exactly what was on my mind, every question, it was like he was reading my mind, but God was speakinh through him.... and yes people even come out of there spirits if God takes them out, if you really wanna know seek for the anwers, you will find them... ask God. and the stonehenge things, yeah, do you know where they came from? it was spiritual, but opposite from God, there is an evil... why is when the there is a full moon the stonehenge turn into the satanic star symble.... God? i dont think so... If theres a God, theres definatley a devil...
