After drinking the "cool aid" no wonder that you don't believe in GOD. The problem is that your view of HIM is through a religion (which by itself comes from the latin religare which means trying to be reunited with GOD).
GOD doesn't reveal HIMSELF through a religion.
GOD exists, and yes, HE does answer prayers. HE did when our baby girl was born with a major heart problem which required surgery (and she has done none and we have all the medical exams as proof of that!)
HE did when our last child was born and we almost lost baby and mother due to an unforseeing situation (today he is 5 years old and my wife is doing great!)
Againg a serpent is making the damage... But here is not the end. My heart ached when I read on the news about these 2 little kids. My hearts ached for their parents. Even for the store owner which I believed did not mean that to happened, and now will bear that terrible event for ever upon his shoulders.
My only true hope is upon the ONE that has smached the serpent's head. Yes, it is a falled world, unjust, unkind, corrupt, dirty and all. Still, GOD so loved it, all of us, that HE gave HIS very best to die for us, when we did not deserve it.
You have your choice to not believe in HIM, which by itself is another proof of HIS existence! Yes, since you can't be at all places on the same time, how can you say "there is no GOD?" Moreover, you can't do all things, and you don't know everything, therefore under your limitation express your unbelief is the maximum that you can do!
I like what Ron Meade has to say: "God sent His Son to die on the cross in order to solve the problem of evil. Christ atoned for evil and secured the eventual removal of all evil from the earth. One day evil will be quarantined... then there will be a perfect world devoid of all evil. If God declared that all evil would, at this moment, cease to exist, you and I and all of humanity would go up in a puff of smoke. Divine judgment demands that sin be punished."
We have in ourselves enough evil and it is the LORD's mercy the reason we are not consumed! But make no mistake: evil and the evil days will cease to exist.
