God believers, do you understand why i'm an Atheist?

Question

This is why i'm an Atheist

1. A good God would show himself(visually) atleast every 10 years and I dont mean in the form of a hurricane or a car accident

2. If a good God exist, he would show himself to every Atheist and there wouldn't be any Atheist. Atheists would not ignore reality

3. Us Atheists wont assume that everything we dont understand must be a message from God. That's delusional. We need solid proof.

4. The grass, trees, ect., is NOT evidence that God exist. Coming to comfortable assumptions is not the way to find the truth

5. The bible has nothing to do with if God exist. Anybody could write a book and say God inspired them.

6. There's way too many contradictions in the bible http://www.evilbible.com

7. There's too many religious beliefs. Why is it so hard for God to come down and get the story straight considering all the blood shed in the name of God?

8. Telling Atheist that God will come back soon is just hear say

Answer 1

I see. You want God to do your will. Sorry, it doesn't work that way

Answer 2

1 You wouldn't believe, even if he did. Like the pharisee's, who ignored the opening of blind eyes, the restoring of withered limbs, the raising of the dead etc. You disbelieve because if you acknowledged his existence, you would have to acknowledge your sin.
2 Atheist would not ignore reality? Really? your not living in reality right now. You would rather hide behind your atheism.
3 ???? I don't know a single person who thinks what they don't understand, must be a message from God.That is assinine. Is this some of your well thought out philosophy?
4True, it isn't. Facing God with a guilty conscience is not comfortable. Assuming God doesn't exist, and hiding behind atheism is. (comfortable assumptions)
5Anybody could, and some have. That is why you have false religions in this world. The difference is, the Bible has a proven track record. The many fulfilled prophesy's ,with archaeology backing it more and more with every discovery.
6 No contraditions, just your ignorance, and eagerness to find them.
7 Yes, there are many. God has already came down and set the record straight.You need to understand this. Suffer a fool for a few minutes. Understand that your unbelief is really not a intellectual argument. Its a spiritual one. You will ignore facts, distort them, and do whatever is necessary to defend your atheism.You may vehemently disagree, but it is true.
The blood shed in the name of God? If you recognized that mankind had a fall, (I know, smart educated people like you don't believe that) you would recognize what is blindly apparent to anyone with half a brain. Evil exist, and there are plenty of evil people in this world. God gives humans free moral agency. This is the reason many bad things happen on this planet. You were not created as a robot, God respects your right to choose. Would you accept a offer of lunch with me If you knew I hated, and despised you? I doubt it.God is like this also. He never forces humans to follow him. As a matter of fact, if you reject him, he will give you what you want. He will leave. Is it Gods fault that there is evil in the world? That should be apparent that it isn't. Did God cause Adolf Hitler to kill 6 million Jews? Of course not. Hitler was a free moral agent, with the ability to choose. He alone is responsible for his evil behavior. God cares enough that he will not allow sin to go unpunished. Before you accuse him of doing nothing about it, understand that nothing gets by him. The delay in judgement is intended to give you the chance to receive his free forgiveness. Why is it that you atheist, humanists, progressives, can't see one simple point? Evil exist, and your not the cure. People fight over religion, because right, and wrong, is worth defending. Yes, there really are absolutes.
8 Well he's coming back eventually. You can't stop that.

Answer 3

1. God has to prove himself to no one. If you heard of or even accidentally read the Bible you would know why bad things happen .*hint* Satan
2.God gave everyone a free will. He forces no one to come to Him.
3.God is WAY smarter than humans so everything is not easily answered. Faith or the lack of it will do.
4. If you have ever went to school, you would know that any kind of order cannot exist without a creator. If you think order can come from complete chaos then you should open more books.
5.The Bible has everything to do with God . No one person wrote the Bible but many... With God's inspiration.
6.E-mail me a contradiction and I'll prove it wrong. Those sites expect you to come in with no knowledge of God so they can exploit it.
7.God did not make different religions man did . It was Jesus who said " I am the way the truth and the light no one comes to the Father except through me." Pick one religion, even Jesus told you how to pick the one TRUE religion.
8. Hearsay? Who's saying it? Does it worry you?
Hopefully this will help you I hope you can look into this for yourself. Also, having questions or doubt is a healthy part of exploring your faith. Please don't take questioning God as a sign that you don't believe. I don't believe in Santa Clause, but I'm not upset that people do. Why are you athiests so afraid of a God you don't believe in? LOVE YA!!!

Answer 4

You're an Atheist because you choose to be, and I hold nothing against you for it. You have the right to that choice.

But I'm going to say this, not meaning to offend you. People like to live in the REAL world, and rarely understand that REAL and TRUE are not the same things. Reality changes with experience, and knowledge. Something that is True remains true.

I prefer to believe that all things are a possibility, and not close my mind to that simply because I personally have not seen or touched it. It is even possible that there is no God, I accept that as a possibility, but I also accept that the possibility exists that there IS a God. I accept the reality that humanity is not as technologically advanced as it will EVER be, and it is still growing and has the ability to develop technology that can measure and test the things it currently cannot.

Answer 5

2 Peters 3:3-53 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

Romans 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

Romans 1:2121 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Answer 6

One of life’s greatest mysteries is who we truly are.

Eternal life is a reward that has no equal. On the one hand this appears to be logical. Participate in behavior that is approved by the Creator and He will give you eternal life. The simplicity of such a reciprocal obligation is what makes it such a profound imperative. At the same time, for most in today’s world, it appears as unbelievable. Why? In today’s world there is an abundance of deceit. Most of us have been conditioned to expect lies mixed with truth. In our first years of life our parents lied to us. They (or our guardians) told us of a fat man in a bright red suit that would deliver toys to us in the dead of winter. Other parental lies may have included the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny. These lies came from the people we trusted the most, people we would ordinarily not expect to be lying to us. And when we were old enough to go to school, we may have been told lies about the origin of man, thereby introducing us to the religion of Evolution. It is no wonder that by the time we reach adulthood many of us are rightly suspicious of anyone advertising something as truth. In extreme cases the result is Atheism. But generally the result is a cynicism that prevents the tracking of real truth because, for most, there is a lack of belief that such a thing exists. This cynicism is both a benefit and a vehicle of spiritual paralysis. It is a benefit in rejecting this world’s religions, including commercial Christianity, which, for the most part, is simply an array of businesses designed to make merchandise of people. However, it is also a vehicle of spiritual paralysis because, throwing the baby out with the bath water, the modern mind, for the most part, is conditioned to reject the plan of God or to believe that no such thing exists.

Answer 7

I do understand and since the world does not rotate around what you want, then you will be disappointed when you die. But why do you come to this forum to read about christianity if you are satisfied? Just be a happy atheists and enjoy yourself while you can.. because peace and life in this world as we are accustomed to it, is coming to a great big end..
I don't paste that bible verse to scare you, but to inform you so you will know what is happening as you see it on the evening news..

Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Answer 8

Perhaps the reason is that you think you are all knowing.
All the matters you mentioned here are answered convincingly by the words and deeds of great saints and thinkers in the past as well as nowadays, but you don't interest in looking for them.
Who are those saints and thinkers? They are humble human beings who seek high education, noble virtues and put into practice what they believe that they have learned from the Greatest Teachers such as Moses, Krishna, Buddha...They don't claim their sainthood but generations of men after them look up with admiration because of their selfless sacrifices.
Those who don't admire them, refuse to seek wisdom in their lives, become proud like you and may see no divine ideal for oneself and know not what he should do to serve mankind.
Others admire them, but thinking that they are special angels from whom man cannot learn the secrets to conduct such a beautiful life.
But, God loves all mankind, he continually gives so many opportunities for men to think, and rethink and get out of confusion, of obscurity, of scepticism... to start living a more happy, progressive and useful life. Believing that God will cause you to rethink as He did with many other atheists. God bless you.

Answer 9

Life is a contradiction! You're born to die!

If you don't want to believe that's your right, but why are you hear bellowing about it. Sounds like you're insecure!

People come here because they want answers. You obviously don't have yours yet, so maybe being an Athiest is wrong for you. Try being a Pagan or agnostic. Maybe that will be more fullfilling and answer all your questions!

Answer 10

I can't argue with anything you've said. I've often asked myself many of these questions. I hate it when someone answers me with, "You have to have faith". Faith is a wonderful thing but I'm not so sure it's done anything for me in my life. Among other questions I have is if God claims credit for all the good in the world than why doesn't he take responsibility for all the horror inflicted upon the people of the world. Why do good and decent people die of cancer etc when he allows OBL to continue to spread terror across the globe? Your question is a good one.

Answer 11

I am a believer. I have actually looked at my beliefs critically. I believe in God because of the affect it has had on my life personally but I actually understand why a person would have a hard time with the concept of God and believing in it. I don't hate on ya.
