If a person rejects God, that means he/she is accepting the existence of God, because you cannot reject something that does not exist. Then, it must be because he is misinformed about God Almighty or because of his feeling of self sufficiency. However, if one is sincere to himself/herself he/she will admit his/her inadequacy and the need for external assistance, that is, from God. The consequences of rejecting God depends on your understanding of God, His person and attributes.

Best Wishes!

A person can reject God for all those reasons. It depends on the person.
I personally reject God because my father is atheist and I felt pressured to conform to the beliefs of my Lutheran private school. My father however, is a bitter atheist who probably does not believe in God because he is too pessimistic about life.
I do not feel a need for God or religion because I am very spiritual in my own unique way. I do not want to confrom to the beliefs or tenets of a structured, rigid religion.
And I have the power to live my own life for others because that is who I am, not for the purpose of "getting myself or others into Heaven".
Today a Christian told me that my life had no purpose if it was not for God. I thought that was harsh. The meaning of life is only meaningful to how one percieves it to be meaningful... I could go on but I have said too much.

Have ever considered some people do not in fact feel a need for a god. As self destructive as humanity is, their potential is great such that I am compelled to in fact find the idea of a god demeaning. The thought of requiring some higher power than myself to guide my thinking is to be honest rather disgusting. If I can not make moral, logical choices for myself then why should I expect someone else to do my thinking for me? Is it not the highest of powers to think for ones self? I do not need a god, it is not a matter of not admitting a need, it is simply not having a need. One would fill no space in my life.

I'm an intelligent atheist and satanist who doesn't need fake deities to dictate a code of morals to me. My morals are my own, not ones that were shoved down my throat

There's no scientific proof whatsoever of the existence of your deity. Hell, that's hard for me to believe, isn't it?

My brain demands a logical explanation! Seeing deities give it none, science is the best thing to know about.

People want incontrovertible evidence that God exists, like a letter or an autographed picture.

If things get too ethereal, what is the honest difference between God and Zeus?

Well uh i don't believe in science, or the cure for polio. And I don't give a frog's fat *** if you think what I do is wrong. You need to know that God is Good. And He isn't as harsh as you think. Come on now... we as human's are so complicated do you really think that some how we evolved? Hey! I'm not trying to make you upset.
It's just that life is so, so complex.

It is quite reasonable that a person who is ready to do the toughest job "thinking", can see logically, that blind belief is stupid and leads no where, rejects his need for God(the God as made understood to him by the blind-believing-multitude). Some day, when logic reaches its peak, it will break and flower of intuition will bloom within, and along with it the 'awakening'.

I rejected the Christian religion--not the notion of a Deity, but the practice of Christians--in favor of Wicca because one didn't teach what I thought to be right and the other did. It's that simple. Christianity didn't suit me, and my beliefs didn't suit it. I had no spiritual connection to Christianity; I am very spiritually alive in Wicca, and I know I am loved by my Goddess and God.

Blessed Be

Are you talking about Ra or Zeus? Your question isn't very clear. Do you believe in Ra, or do you reject him? If you reject him, why?

Google "Why I Am a Skeptic about Religious Claims" and read the Paul Kurtz article if you are sincerly looking for an answer.

I think you already have decided for yourself. The phrase 'refuses to admit his need' tells me that you aren't serious about listening to why people might choose to not believe in religion. So, from your point of view, does it really matter? It only matters to the person who made the decision, and how they live their lives.
