Have you ever doubted God’s existence? Why or why not?
-
I don’t believe that I’ve ever doubted the existence of God – although I’ve questioned why He has allowed certain events to occur without intervening. I know that God has His reasons and perhaps someday we will know what they were. In the meantime, I’m just going to trust that God is accomplishing what needs to be accomplished and His Soverign Will has everthing happening just the way it needs to be.

Unlike most of the responses here, you don’t give “the way you were raised” as a reason for never doubting God. I’m of the opinion that the reason so many either leave the Christian faith or live less than Spirit-filled lives is because they have not really proved God’s existence for themselves. Instead, they tend to be like ancient Israel who often waffled between calling God “my God” and “my Father’s God” (Exodus 15:2).

I have not doubted God’s existence in my life because I am brought up to believe that He exists. That He cares for me and my family since birth.

No, I never have since there’s evidence in the world that there is a creator.

Yes. I’d heard the arguments of atheists, and read some books on atheism, and they made sense to me. Especially the existence of horrific evil in the world. Evolution seemed like it could explain why all life is here. But part of me always had some doubt towards atheism, even when I was supporting it. I would feel guilty. And so many nearly impossible things had to have happened, for a competent unguided evolution to bring us to where we are now. Then
I thought there must have been at least a Deist type of God to start the world. -
I don’t think I have ever doubted God’s existence but there have been times that I was so wrapped up in myself that I forgot about Him or lived like he didn’t exist.

I can definitely identify with your response. For me, it’s an ongoing battle to remember that indifference to God is just as sinful as outright denial of His existence.
