What makes some people deny the existence of God?

Answer 1

They don't like the fact that they have someone to answer to in the end, and their fate or destinies have been written in stone.

OR

Its because they do not see any tangible proof that God really does exists.

Answer 2

More than anything, it is a reflection of the poor job most churches do today in both educating people, and in the poor example they make for the community. Seeing all the cases of children being sexually abused in churches, dating back over 100 years, it makes people wonder how any God could allow it to go on, so there must not be any God. There is also all the problems in the world. Churches often teach that good is the work of God, leaving open the question that doesn't that also mean the bad is also the work of God, since he allows it to go on.

Answer 3

A better question is what makes some people insist on the existence of a god?

Answer 4

What make some insist that the Know more than someone else when the actual evidence on both sides is exactly zero?

Can you prove that Your god exists?
Can you prove that Odin, Hera, Hermes, Loki and Thor don't exist?

No matter what you feel in your "heart" or most fervently believe to be true, until there is actual physical evidence you aren't any more "right" than someone who says "There is no God."

Accept it. Don't. It's no skin off my nose either way.

Answer 5

Perhaps we should clarify a God we're not giving any place to, thereby not giving existence to, is the dividead law law God on high, in the plural and divided heavens: the false God of false/true Gods, the foolish God of foolish/wise Gods, the dead God of dead/living Gods, the "was but is not" of was/is God, the law.

Which is to say God(Grace) is a Spirit, not a Ghost; Grace us, not law law; Merciful, not merciless; Peaceful, not division-all. Or to say incorruptible "grace" is smarter than such corruptible law law, as "the word of God" is "sharper than any twoedged sword".

Which is to say any God given sound mind, having it's senses exercised, knows if it looks Fishy, smells Pewy, sounds like Horeb-bull, tastes both Sweet + Bitter, and feels like Hell when swallowed, well then it's probably lying Mosaic law law rather than grace and truth thereof.

Not to mention all the lying, crying, and dying in the world begins with childish lying(lawing). And some people who don't get caught or challenged about their lying, or get off by lying more, seem to perceive such is the same as grace and truth, when it's a lie(law), and not the truth: "grace is sufficient"(no law req'd).

The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 6

In a world where showing is believing. It is hard for some people to believe that there is a god when there babies are murdered and nothing has ever come from the believe that god is there. Too much suffering in this world.

Answer 7

Which god you talking about? There are so many-It really is confusing also the many ways the bible is understood by so many different religions.Not just the bible but the koren and other documents by buddist and others.I believe in the force but I don't even to pretend to understand it because it is far greater than I.Naw I can't whip the force out and brow beat all those that don't think like I do and make myself superior.As luke skywalker would say"may the force be with you"

Answer 8

To deny the existance of God is just as irrational as believing. The rational choice: I don't know.

Answer 9

Too much sufferring , not enough education about God, too much knowledge about everything else...these combination is enough for the individual to deny the existence of a supreme being.

Answer 10

-becasue there is no evidence.
-becasue when there were phesants, the kings told the priests what to tell the poor phesants that if they work hard they will go to a place called heaven.
-becasue of travel- it expands your mind, and you see the world as a macrocosm and not just in how one culture works. You see different religions working in all arts of the world.
-becasue those differences of narrowmindedness (that my religion is best attitude) alone is the reason for war.
-because religion is a mere hope that people have and it works for some people but it is not science and people can lose sense of themselves with it.
-Science is easier to grasp becasue there is real sceintific proof- not just theory without evidence.
-believing in God is like believing in the Easter Bunny and Santa.
-humans since the time humans were born have learned superstition. That if at one time something good or bad happened to you "it was maybe becasue I did this/that at that time".. people question things they know nothing about and therefore make inferences and holistic beliefs about their world they live in so as to cleanse themselves of any impurities that may inhibit them from any superstitions that may arrise from the unknown. These "superstitions" became belief and some people followed this strong and semi-paranoid belief and it then became a religion.
-it is not hard to make people follow you into a religion.. Heck look at that group in Japan where they wore white to defend them against the microwaves power.. it first starts off, from people who do not agree with a negative conotation, as a cult. (i believe)
-people always want to see things as black or white.. never anything in between. This is a well-known psychology fact. Why? Becasue it is harder for people of our lazy society to formulate their own thoughts. A)seeing in black or white is easier B) having a religion can give you a swnse of community and all that good stuff but you have to trade for your own ability to formulate your own thoughts. Slowly losing your self.. or falsly identifying with something you did not create or question deeply if it relates or works for you.
- i could go on forever about why it doesn't agree with me.. i think education all round turned me away form it. I learned through travel and education and self education.
