for those of you who dont believe in God, why dont you?

Question

You may be athiest or believe in evolution, or whatever else, but why dont you believe in God?

many of you said that there was no logical evidence for there to be a higher power. I challenge you to do your own research on that. Go check it out for yourselves. Nearly every culture in the WORLD has an account of Jesus Christ. Not even every country has heard of elvis. That is a pretty amazing fact in and of itself.

There was one comment about " strikes for God." one of them was reguarding the flood and the year old man noah. You mentioned how the atmosphere would not be able to handle that much water coverage. However, in the previous paragraph you mentioned evolution. I would call that contradictory. the atmosphere may not be capable of that now, but if you really believe in evolution, you would know that the world has changed drastically. Also, do you have any idea how big that "boat" was??? if you did some research on that, you would find that it indead did float and it would hold that many animals. The flood explains the extiction of dinosaurs and the grand canyon.

Answer 1

Hello "God", are you there?
Oh well, no answer...

Answer 2

The idea that an intelligent entity capable of designing and creating an entire universe could just exist fully formed, with no origin, no precursor of any sort, is just absurd. It's like saying that the universe sprung into existence fully formed from nothing at all 5 seconds ago, only much worse. It's clearly nonsense, and if we accept reality instead of trying to invent deities we can easily see that intelligence is a product of the natural universe, not the other way round.

One reason for people to invoke the concept of a creator is to try to account for all the amazing order and complexity we see around us in the universe, but they fail to spot the obvious problem that in deciding a creator made it all, they have just invented something even more amazing that itself (supposedly) exists without being created... and so if anything can exist uncreated it might as well be the universe, thus cutting out the extraneous and unnecessary creator.

The only rationally justifiable worldview is that everything which exists is a natural phenomenon with no design and no creation. That is the only explanation which doesn't lead to logical absurdities or the invention of inevident entities.

Answer 3

The early Christians were a crazy cult who propaganded this story of Jesus, which is fictional. Think about it: in the parts when it's Jesus talking to somebody, how did anybody know what was being said? That's why the Romans fed the early Christians to the Lions. They were a crazy cult.
There was no "Adam and Eve." Human beings evolved from monkeys and they furthered evolved into different races based on the environment and climate and different other factors. That's why you have Chinese people, Indian people, black people, etc.
How come the bible doesn't mention Dinosaurs?
What about animals when they die? Is there an after life for animals?
Human beings are just like animals.
When you die, your existence is over. It is like you were never born. Do you remember 200 years ago or 300 years ago? Of course not. You didn't exist. Same thing happens when you die.

Answer 4

I believe in God.

However I am an agnostic. I don't think that man is capable of discerning or understanding God or the way God works. All the major religions basically say the same thing ( Uneducated Christians will, of course, disagree ) - be kind and generous, be a good person, and care for other people.

The major religions all share common themes because anyone who has really contemplated their place in the world will come to a realization that love, understanding, and care are the most powerful forces in the universe.

And to believe that someone will be sent to eternal torture because they don't believe the same thing as you is ludicrous - a just God would not do this. And if a just God would not do this, then you will not be punished for only believing in a specific iteration of God (i.e. That Jesus is the savior of all).

If God sends all non-christians (or non-muslims) to hell, he is not a just God, and thus not worth believing in.

Answer 5

I neither believe nor disbelieve in some divine, higher being. Maybe something did create the universe, maybe it didn't.

What I don't believe in is the Christian god, the Muslim god, or any other god. I don't believe in any of the pantheons: Hindu, Norse, Greek, Meso-American, Asian, and so on and so forth. I don't believe that anything written by mankind is the word of any god, whatsoever. Organized religion, such as we have, is a man-made thing stemming from man-made texts written in cultures that are mostly long dead. I've read several texts from many religions and couldn't find myself agreeing completely with them. I believe that you can't pick and choose what you want to believe out of a religion. It's all or nothing.

I'm still a spiritual person and I do believe there's more to being human than instinct and intellect. It's why I couldn't be an atheist.

Answer 6

Wait, wait wait -- God is ideal, with out a evil or sin?!? What approximately the killing of the firstborns, or the slaughter of such a lot of guys, ladies, and youngsters? It's in all places within the Bible -- you may have learn the Bible, have not you? Or are those acts of atrocity k with ease considering they are played via your "ideal" god? Moving on, even though ... after studying your complete paragraph, I nonetheless do not realize why an all-robust god has to abide via the principles of our bodily global. You convey up a courtroom trouble, and being "reasonable" -- good, if God is all robust, s/he might be equipped to override something that s/he desired to. In quick, which means that both: one million) God can not override those legislation, and is as a consequence now not all-robust, or two) Can override the legislation whatsoever s/he pleases, however chooses to not. But, going again to what I was once initially pronouncing, I nonetheless do not get how you'll declare the Judeo-Christian god to be reasonable, all-loving, or ideal whatsoever while, within the Bible, he indicates himself to be not anything greater than a "jealous, . . . petty, unjust, unforgiving manage-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleaner; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolant bully" (within the phrases of Richard Dawkins). And if any individual needs to contest that the above isn't real ... I will likely be comfortable to furnish a protracted record of Biblical verses proving that it's. But, once more, are the entire crimes dedicated via the Biblical god in some way condoned via the truth that he is your god?

Answer 7

Genisis says that man was created first, then animals.
Evolution shows us that single celled organisms came before multi-celled ones and that apes and humans came from the same ape like creature
-----Strike 1 for god

Genisis tells a story of a 600 year old man who took a number of animals on a boat, floated for a number of months, and repopulated the planet.
Common sense tells us that not only can a human not live to that age, it is impossible for that many animals to fit on a boat. (Never mind food or feces) The atmosphere would not be able to handle 100% water coverage, Noah and his family would have drowned after they took their first breath. Plus a boat that big would not be able to float
---Strike 2 for god

God is supposed to be omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, but has given humans "free will" so that they may choose to follow or not.
Omniscience cannot coincide with the concept of choice, or "free will" it is a logical fallacy
----god, yourrrrrrrrrrre OUTTA THERE!

Answer 8

Well let me pose the opposite question to you. Why DO you believe in God? Did you ever consider that he might not exist? Or does that scare you? How do you REALLY know the Bible is literally true? Because everyone you know thinks so?

I believed in God, sort of because I felt I was expected to, when I was a kid. The idea of not believing in God scared me, I mean you're supposed to right? Then I started thinking about the whole thing, and I opened up myself to the possibility that perhaps he wasn't real.

Answer 9

I see no evidence of a divine creator anywhere in the universe. To believe in some heavenly father figure seems like just a way to avoid responsibility for ourselves and our actions. Its all up to us people, Jesus isn't coming back to save us, and God isn't going to appear and make all the world's ills go away with a wave of a hand, the burden is on us and us alone.

Answer 10

I agree with many of the posters here that there are several logical flaws with a belief in a supernatural deity, there is one additional reason that I do not believe has been touched on.

A belief in god does not fulfill any need I have. It brings me no sense of comfort, joy, love or companionship. A belief in god does not needed to dictate my sense of purpose, direct my morals, structure my beliefs or give me a vision of justice.

Simply put, a belief in god is not needed to live a full, happy, productive life nor is it needed to be a kind, caring and decent human being.

Answer 11

Give me three points of solid evidence that God exists(No, the bible doesn't count).

Belief in God is based purely on faith. You cannot see, hear, smell or feel God, there is no way for humans to measure his existence. So the question boils down to, is blind faith enough?

Call me crazy, but solid evidence makes me feel much better about something.
