Why dont you believe in God? Only Atheists to answer this. I dont want believers to answer it.................

Answer 1

No real proof.

Its that simple.

Answer 2

What tangible proof is there of the existence of God?

I attended church when I was younger, my mother was even a bible school teacher, she is now an Atheist. Therefore my trips to church ended, but my curiosity about religion continued.

In college I took a philosophy of religion class. I read the books, bible passages, I studied the handouts, took the tests, wrote essays, etc. At the end of the class I was no more a believer than when I started. But the most interesting thing that I learned, I learned on the last day of class. My professor, who taught without bias during the whole semester, was an Atheist. That to me sent a very strong message.

For the reason that I have a very difficult time putting belief into something that I haven't witness with my own eyes, I have a hard time with the whole God thing. I still find the various religions fascinating, but that doesn't mean I put much faith into them.

Of course, I would never ask anyone why they did believe in God because I think that everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Answer 3

The same reason I don't believe in the other mythological creatures people have made up to control other people or to explain things they couldn't explain. I don't believe in Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, God, Jesus, Allah, Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, or anyone else that we can't prove the existence of. I

would ask you... why would Cristi ans believe in a myth made up thousands of years ago to control populations and cause wars? Why would Mormons, Jews, Catholics, Islamics, Buddhists, or any of the other religious people in the world believe the things that they do?

A predisposition to believe based on what their families have believed for who knows how long. My great great great grandparents believed that white people should be able to OWN other people! I certainly do no t believe that just because it was a part of my family at some point! Why do people who believe in religious mythology (which I think is extremely ridiculous) believe in it? They have no proof of anything that they believe!

I believe things when they are proven.

I live my life everyday in such a way that if I found out that I was wrong about my religious beliefs (or lack there of), I would not change a thing! I do what is right. I am honest, intelligent, nice, and I treat others as I would expect to be treated.

Answer 4

I'm agnostic. Some people are not built for blind faith. A lot of people think that it is a choice, but it is not a choice for some. My mind does not work that way, and if there is a God then he would have know this when making us. It's not that I don't want to believe, it's just that I can't. I need some sort of proof to wrap my mind around. I'm sorry, one single book written by a person with the intellect of a 4th grader is not proof of anything. There were so many gospels found in the dead sea, but for some reason only certain ones were chosen to be in the Bible, this is suspect for suspicion, and who are these people to choose what is the word of God and what is not. I am a detective by nature, and all of it is really suspect. You should do more research on the origin of you religion before you blindly follow it.

Answer 5

Because there is no evidence to support his existence. Creationism does not make sense. How can we be made out of dirt? How can the earth only be 6000 years old? The bible is such an old book and its so full of oxymorons and inconsistencies that its not even funny anymore. I also don't believe because of the way many Christians act. They try to push their beliefs on other people, but are offended when other people try to push their beliefs on them. I find that many Christians can not really argue the point of Christianity very well without resorting to verses from the bible or attacking me and changing the subject. I also don't believe because most of the problems that we have in the world today are caused because of religion and religious views. And it has been this way for 1000's of years. Also, it is very easy for religious fanatics to arouse hatred and start genocide on other groups using religion and stereotypes. I believe that if there was a god, he would make himself known and not keep people guessing all the time, because that just doesn't make sense. And I know that this point has been used many times, but it still makes sense: if there was a god, why all the problems in the world? None of the answers that anyone of faith has given me are convincing.

Answer 6

I'm guessing you mean God as in the triune God. My reasons are that there are too many logical fallacies. Predestination, infallibility, and free will don't work together. If God knows what we are going to do then we can't make any other choice than what God knows because if we do then God is fallible. There are others. Plus I don't need the warm fuzzy feeling from belief in a loving caring God who's looking out for us. I think at best there's a god/higher intelligence that doesn't intefere at all. I choose to look inward for guidance because I trust in my own instincts and intuitions that have been formed through experience. I'm also open minded and hove no problem with the Christian faith. I think it's a great guide and a great way to live. I just wish more people could follow it. Hope that helped. Peace and love.

Answer 7

Well, I'm agnostic, so I'm neither an athiest nor a believer. I don't believe in god as written in the bible because it's logically impossible for everything therein to be true. But hey, maybe god transcends logic. But then, by very definition, arguing with someone about god is "unreasonable." Which is fine. Personally, I don't think that the "first cause" can possibly be something that we as humans would define as sentient. Either non-sentient or supersentient, but not sentient. And if we're talking about supersentience, then we need to stop talking as if god has "motivations." Yeesh.

Answer 8

I think we are all Atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other gods you will understand why I dismiss yours.

I would also like to point out that the strong believer Kathy1000, right after asking the stupidest question I have ever read on here, had to give a stupid answer to this question as well.

Answer 9

Well, I'm not atheist, but I am agnostic (which means that I've decided to not choose a religion). I'm agnostic because all religions were invented by humans, and humans don't know what happens when they die. They can only guess.

In fact, the only reason why there even are religions is that humans had a wide gap in thier knowledge that had to be explained, so stories were made up about how the world began, the meaning of life, etc.

Answer 10

Think about why you don't believe in Zeus, Osirus or the Easter Bunny. Or why you don't believe in unicorns or that a 8" woman lives in Tibet.

The reason why you don't believe in those things is why I don't believe in god (little "g").

Now the crux of your question is probably why I don't believe in YOUR God. After all, I doubt you really care that I don't believe in Allah or Kristna or the hindu or Aztec gods, am I right?

Well, #1 I don't believe in any "g"od, as I explained above. On top of that, I don't believe in your God because (assuming it is the Christian God) I find him wrathful, hateful, mean, blood-thirsty, racist and mysogonistic. I find those traits to be abhorrant and contrary to the idea of a creator (which I don't believe needs to exist anyway). I have no desire to worship such a hateful being, should I even believe that he exists.

Answer 11

I don't think it makes sense. I've studied Christianity, and it doesn't ring true to me. I know the history, and I see the elements lifted from other, older, religions. Oh, and I don't believe in ANY religion, and none of it seems to be the truth to me. When I look at the world, I do not see God's hand in it. So, I'm an atheist, and I'm very happy.
