@dehydration sorta, by praying to God, we are acknowledging his love for us and he gives us the strength we need, think of it like motivation.

and you want proof of God that isn't in the Bible? okay.

before the universe was made, something with supremacy over anything relating to what we know now had to have existed so that it could create all we've come to know, and it has to be intelligent because it made intelligent beings, and you can't give what you don't have.

As for the reasons why he made us and everything, well........ the answer is in the Bible. WHICH is practically the first history book ever written, and to say that the prophets who wrought the Old Testament were just lying or theorizing, well, they got persecuted by pagans who didn't believe in God, so if these men were bluffing about being visited by God, they probably would've confessed it before they were martyred. same for the Disciples, who wrought the New Testament.

and if you think it could still hold inaccuracy or lies, well, how can we trust anything that was recorded over a century ago? considering nobody living today could tell you for sure.

the problem with doubters like you is that you lack hope, faith, trust, and a lot of other virtues, so you just don't care, but you really should, considering that if you don't eventually repent you either go to hell and suffer agonizing pain unlike any pain on earth for eternity THAT'S FOREVER! however, if you really do want to repent, but you die with sin on your soul, they can be washed away in purgatory, the process is still described in the scriptures as a pain that cannot compare with anything on earth, but once you've paid the temporal punishment, you go to heaven :)

and it really is important to consider, cuz if you think that after you die nothing happens and you're just dead, what would the point of your life have been?
