For some there is no simple answers. Depending on the subject. Here we will be talking about God and or religion.Many are prejudice they have there preconceived ideals and beliefs. As soon as you start to answer there question or question they will react one of several ways. One way is they go on the defensive.
Fear that you may prove them wrong.That they may have to change in someway or loose something.
There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation. Or simply put prejudice.
prejudice1:an attitude that always favors one way of feeling or acting especially without considering any other possibilities,preconceived judgment or opinion 3 : an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge
This seems to be the biggest problem in dealing with religious discussions.

For now lets stick with a simple Ideal that God is. He was the first and he chose to create everything.
Now there was this little thing called choice. Also the hole free will thing. Why he gave them to use we may discus later. I will just say he wants us to love him not because we have to but because we want to.
There is lots of questions from the silly to the unanswerable. And here we go...

Can God create something so big he can not even move it. I say why would he want to? for what purpose? I have seen people that can not be moved.
Can God stop a built? I say yes and base my answer on personal experience as well as those of others I know.This does not mean he will for you or anyone else. Take the story of Private I’Dana Klinger who's life was saved by his zippo lighter. Was it the lighter random chance or a act of God.
Why is it God allows bad things to happen? More then one reason I find for this. One is not everyone is under his protection. God has a advisory the devil.
Who was thrown out of heaven and took with him 1/3 of all the angles.His job is going to and fro causing as much trouble as he can.(also see my blogs on spiritual warfare)
Not everything that happens to us is because God did it, this is true not just of the bad but good things as well (Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness.) There is a beautiful side to evil The devil will use every means he can to corrupt.Sometimes it is because we made a bad choice
( that takes us back to free will ). Sometimes it is in his plan like it or not. There is evil in the world like it or not. Sometimes I think shit just happens with no rime or reason.
Where is God? Well I think he is anywhere He wants to be. The only place he can not go is into you heart
If you do not want him in your life he is not there.
His words and teachings may be kept out but not Him.Pushing God out of out schools government is I think one of the biggest reasons we see so much trouble in both.
I do believe that God is with me always. I believe that if you have questions about God you should seek him. Ask Him, Study His word & check it with historical facts. Don't go on the parts that some people have told you. Get the hole story. Then answer this. Is there a power greater then anything I know?
Remember when I said "lets stick with a simple Ideal" well now we can add God is everything or nothing. Its your choice. I would rather have him with me fighting to get out of hell then not have him and be headed in to hell.
