Why do people rebel against the idea of there being a God?

Question

So many wanna be "cool" people who don't think God is real - Where the fxck do you think EVERYTHING came from? Or is that just a way for you to rebel against everything and feel hardcore?

I don't go to church, I'm not a false saint, but I do believe there is a higher power that created all of us. We're not here for NO reason.

And just so you know, no where in the Bible does it mention the word "HELL." It just states that there will be an absense of God.

Answer 1

Most of this is to answer the question in biblical terms. However, for the rest (non-believers), please read the last paragraph.

Paul, in his letter to the Romans, makes an amazing statement: “Because the carnal [physical] mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (8:7). Other translations use the phrase “is the ENEMY of God” in place of “is enmity against God.”

This verse offers startling insight into the working of the carnal, physical mind of every human being. Cut off from God, the natural mind is God’s enemy—it hates Him. Think of it! Then ask yourself if any minister, religionist or theologian has ever explained this to you.

NO! The religious leaders of this world never refer to it. They either ignore this understanding entirely or do not recognize its great implications!

This verse plainly says that the natural mind does not want, and even hates, to yield to God and obey His Law. While most people profess that they “love God,” the truth is that their minds despise His way and refuse to obey Him. No wonder the prophet Jeremiah wrote, “O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walks to direct his steps” (Jer. 10:23). Seven chapters later, he wrote, “The heart is deceitful above all things” (17:9). These are incredible statements. When confronted with problems or important decisions, men simply either do not know what to do, or they deceive themselves about what they have already decided not to do.

People have debated the existence of God for thousands of years. Most conclude that it cannot be proven—one way or the other. It is surmised that the correct answer lies in the area of abstract philosophy and the metaphysical. Others become agnostics, asserting that they “don’t know” if God exists. Those who do accept God’s existence often do so passively, merely because they were taught it from childhood. Some do not even care. Such people probably cannot be moved from their apathy. Atheists have concluded that God does not exist. These people represent a special category that God describes as, “The fool has said in his heart, There is no God” (Psa. 14:1). This scripture is repeated in Psalm 53:1.

For those of you who claim science disputes God, please read this booklet titled "Does God Exist?". It uses the exact science that you support to PROVE the existence of a creator. It's also good for the evolutionists and "big bang" THEORISTS, as there is no true proof of this either. And please read the whole thing before simply discrediting it.

Answer 2

"Where the fxck do you think EVERYTHING came from?"

I believe in evolution. The theory that human beings evolved from apes which over the course of billions of years evolved from single celled creatures. How the universe formed? Not sure. Chemical reaction as in the Big Bang Theory? Sounds plausible. I certainly like to think some as diverse as everything in the entire universe wasnt done in 6 days.

"Or is that just a way for you to rebel against everything and feel hardcore?"

You jackass. Do you imagine me sitting here wearing black clothing and worshipping metal gods. Hardcore? WTF? I refuse to dignify that with a comment. Save this - people with common sense will use it. Why dont you try to be one of them.

And I fully concur with Taranto. If God was able to create everything in existence, how did he come into existence?

Answer 3

You aren't really relying on the ontological argument for the existence of God, are you? The logical fallacies of that argument are well documented.

Your argument falls apart -- because you assume that the universe is so complex that someone must have created it. But doesn't that make God even more complex? If the universe is so complex that someone made it, then God must have been made by something more complex. If God could have just existed always, then why not the universe? After all, it is less complex than your God.

Please take a logic class and them come back to talk about it.

Answer 4

I don't rebel. It's just the way it is.

Now, I'm not against the idea of a god. If such a god exists, then perhaps he could show himself. As such, I don't have any reason to believe he exists. No one I know has met the man/woman/thing. Some people have claimed to have spoken with him/her/it, but those people are not credible.

"Where the fxck do you think EVERYTHING came from?"

I don't know, but my own ignorance does not mean I have to follow a religion blindly. That religion doesn't know either; they just cling to a belief and hope it's true. That's nice for them, but I'd rather have some assurances before wasting my time with their beliefs.

If you're talking about the Christian god, I've dismissed him as a myth. A powerful, loving being that sends people to Hell for his own misgivings? That's more implausible than unicorns.

I'm not hardcore. I work for a living, and I don't have a god looking over my shoulder. If there is, then he's done a good job of keeping quiet.

Edit: This answer amuses me: "They rebel against the idea of God because they want to be their own gods and don't want to be accountable for their behavior." Ironically, atheists are the ones who realize that they are the only ones accountable for their behavior. There is no one to pray to for forgiveness for these people.

Answer 5

why do you care?
you just stated that u don't go to church, so that is your right if u don't want to. so why are you asking "where the fxck do you think EVERYTHING came from?"
if some people don't believe in God, that is their right.
it would be nice to believe in a higher power but frankly, if there is one, i don't believe a higher power would stoop so low to create people as nasty as you.

Answer 6

My problem with christianity is it believes God is evil. Im a Pagan and i dont appreciate the insults like youre a heathen and youre going to hell, i dont usually do that crap to christians but if they want me to ill use some of the nastiest spells on them....

I beleive even Gods make mistakes and the biggest mistake was to let Jehovah be in charge of the Earth. No wonder so many people are hateful and ignorant! they refuse to think for themselves when they should be.

Answer 7

I'll make you a deal, show me ONE shred of credible evidence that your magic sky-pixie exists, and I'll start going to church.
Just one, that's all I ask.
It's a safe bet, there isn't any.
oh and do NOT show your ignorance by saying something like "where did the world come from huh?" because science has shown exactly how the earth and the universe was formed and that with the simplest of elements, the foundations for life are easily made.
So, show me some proof and, like I said, I'm off to church.
Honest.
I'll wait...

Answer 8

Why do people rebel against the idea of there being a Goddess?

Answer 9

Because the idea is frankly stupid...the idea of the universe simply existing without being created is more plausible

Answer 10

I think everything just happened, no god involved. I question his existence because god makes no sense, not to be "cool".
