If us atheists had enough evidence that god exist, we would believe with no problem. It's not our fault that god failed to show us evidence. If god exist(which he doesn't), he should know that. All he has to do is show us some factual evidence and i'm not talking about showing us by having a car accident, terrorist attack, natural dissaster or anything like that. I mean hard solid evidence. Anyone can write a book and everyone knows how much the bible has been tampered with so dont give me that bible crap. Oh, it's our choice? You didn't say it was YOUR choice when you claimed he blessed you. So, dont give me this choice crap. If it's ok to choose what we're comfortable with, we shouldn't go to hell for it.

I think there is no evidence at all that a God exists. If someone says you will goto hell for not believing then you just say back, i'm not afriad cause i don't believe in hell. People have to realize there is no evidence for anything to exist! How do we know if we aren't in a dream right now, how do we know what we know is true? Simply we don't know because i can say the latter to whatever you say and we will go on arguing, and therefore the only logical thing is to move on because dwelling on the idea that something exists or not will keep us from advancing in life. What i hate is when people start presenting evidence that God does exist and trying to disprove everyone elses beliefs through the bible.

perfect answer: The life of extraterrestrial beings miss the life of God or in his particular advent of life. in actuality, any proposed concept that leaves out the life of God as author is admired through atheists. Extraterrestrial alien visitations, multiverses, and an eternal universe are the hypotheses that do not have any evidence, and that are truly considered because all of them leave God out What all of us comprehend through clinical remark and the invention of the pink shift (Penzias and Wilson) that this universe had a initiating. danger experts have validated that even 14 billion years isn't adequate time to furnish this universe by coincidence. And chance is the truly using stress until eventually life is produced, even as organic determination and the stress in the route of survival is meant to develop into an extra advantageous substitute agent from that factor on. for sure, the fossil list, particularly the Cambrian explosion, can't be defined through organic determination both. more advantageous terrestrial alien visitations or panspermia (admired through Hawking and Behe) are proposed to elongate the era of time to furnish life to longer than 14 billion years. yet, back, it does no longer clarify the initiating of life, or of each and each and every of the flaws that precede life - progression of stars and planets, and life-pleasant orbits, etc. If something, it truly might want to delay the time for life to go back into being, when you consider that those extraterrestrial beings supposedly had it before it became seeded right here. no longer to point that there is particularly no evidence of any extraterrestrial life right here. there is also no indication that the universe begins back and back (it really is reported through some scientists and Hindu custom) - yet we truly comprehend through remark that the cloth universe began once. The multiverse concept is designed to provide an reason behind the apparent wonderful tuning of the universe with out an sensible God. even if, outdoors of this concept, there is also no indication that this universe is one in all each and each and every of the accessible and modern-day universes that could produce what we see now - remember, skill, forces, guidelines, and life. there's a tremendous purchase that we do not study the universe and life - yet we may be able to really note that this stuff are right here. remark is a valid and evidence-researching device of the clinical technique. And those observations leave intact the theory of an ever-residing, sensible, efficient author.

“All those who were rightly disposed for everlasting life became believers.”—ACTS 13:48.
A person displays a certain dominant attitude. He has a particular disposition that is rooted in his figurative heart. (Matthew 12:34, 35; 15:18-20) Happily, many prove to be like some Gentiles in ancient Antioch in Pisidia. Upon hearing about Jehovah’s provision for salvation, “they began to rejoice and to glorify the word of Jehovah, and all those who were rightly disposed for everlasting life became believers.”—Acts 13:44-48.
They are rightly disposed for everlasting life in heaven or on a paradise earth.—Luke 23:43; 1 Corinthians 15:50-57; 1 Peter 1:3-5. Those not rightly disposed for everlasting life will not become believers. It is not possible for them to exercise faith. (2 Thessalonians 3:2) Moreover, nobody can become a true follower of Jesus Christ unless he is teachable and Jehovah, who sees what the heart is, draws that person. (John 6:41-47)
Humility is a vital factor in having a prepared heart because it makes us teachable and helps us to accept more readily loving counsel and correction. Humility enabled Jesus’ “unlettered and ordinary” disciples to grasp and apply spiritual truths that escaped those who were “wise and intellectual” but only “in a fleshly way.” (Acts 4:13; Luke 10:21; 1 Corinthians 1:26) Meekness is the quality of being of mild character, free from arrogance or conceit.
The Bible highlights the benefits of obedience to God. Still, God does not coerce people into worshiping him. Rather, he invites his human creatures to become his worshipers. In the first century, Jesus initiated the preaching of the good news of God’s Kingdom. (Matthew 4:17; 24:14) He never coerced anyone to join in this work. Rather, he kindly invited others, saying: “Come be my follower.” (Mark 2:14; 10:21) Many accepted his invitation and began preaching with him. (Luke 10:1-9)
Clearly, God desires that we use our ability to make choices. He also provides guidance in the Bible that helps us to make wise decisions. (Psalm 25:12)

This is the thing ...
First of all the existence of God cant be proved Scientifically !! but ... the nonexistence cant be proved either. So that leaves us with the dilema of believe it or not !
God doesnt need men, we need him, and the man that really seeks him finds him. Im gonna put it this way ... remenber the pharisees?? do you know that they saw all Jesus miracles and still didnt believe so its not a matter of a prove, its a matter of decision.
I mean I cant discuss the whole subject here but Im just gonna leave you with this ........ have you read the dilema of pascal (pascal is the founder of the termodinamic one of the best scientifics that the world have had) if you havent red it read it, it is very interesting.

I guess you've never heard of "denial." The mind is a powerful thing and it believes what it wants to believe. Since we often see what we want to see (and don't see what doesn't fit our preconceived ideas), is it possible to truly know an objective reality? The question is, does what you believe work for you? If it does, than what's the problem? If it doesn't, maybe you need to look at why you have chosen to believe what you do. If you are correct, that there is no God, than don't worry, you won't go to hell for being an atheist since there would be no hell to go to. However, my reading of your question seems to indicate that there is more here than an academic question. So, I would ask you, why it is so important to you that God convince you of His reality?

God created us out of love, for the simple purpose of loving us and to have us love him in return. Sure, God could have created us in a way that no one would ever doubt his existence and we would all love him because he told us to. But God created us with our own minds, so that we are free to believe in him or not. Where is the value in forcing someone to love you? Look around you: isn't the beauty of nature enough evidence?

The evidence is here. You just have to open your heart so you can see it. You can't see the evidence because you think in the natural. God works in the supernatural. Your mind can't even imagine the things that God can do.

Exactly. I don't believe in a god, but I figured if our mind and cognition is our greatest gift and sets us somehow as "better" than all other lifeforms (but this is questionable) then using that gift should never, ever, ever be considered a sin.
Strange god, some people believe in. Then again I'm an adult - I no longer believe in make-believe...
