Why can't people just open their eyes and see the truth for themselves? Or is it because no one wants to know the truth? Are they just happier believeing that God is sitting up there taking care of everything. It just an escape I tell you, people dont want to take the responsibility they were born with. Grasp the power that is your right and stop denying you all know in your hearts but ignore for fear of suffering in hell. Hell is a scare tactic created by the church.

Close-minded to life! And the truth of all things. If you don't understand that then you need to broaden your perception.

So IF someone doesn't AGREE with YOU - their mind is 'closed'?! Is that what you're suggesting?!
Just so you know - I'm a Christian. I do NOT - however - believe that God is 'taking care of everything'. In fact - I think HE takes care of very little. He only gets involved in our lives IF we ask Him to get involved. He's not grabbing our arms as we try to cross the busy streets of life. But will guide us across that street if we ask Him to. Craig!! :o)

People don’t like to be wrong, so what better way then to decide what you believe then close out everything else. People also like to be victims, yes victims. They may not say it; but, if someone is victimized then they “deserve” compensation or justice. So in the end they get more then they had. It’s all the same thing. In the end, very good person I know said, “about 85% of the people in the world just don’t get it, and never will.” A good example, I saw a reality TV show where a guy lost because he was so closed minded and didn’t admit his full potential even though it was right in front of him. Good luck to you (if you believe in luck!).

Is it because you do not want to know the truth because it does not fit your lifestyle. Killing a person is not right and against the rule, but just because you like killing people, does that make it right... There are rules, positive and negative in all things, and that is within our souls too. Just to say, oh, that is just a way to control, but yet, there are rules for society, why are they wrong, just because you do not believe they are right for you. Rules to live by, and that is what it is. If you do not ike it, just go out and kill someone and pay for it, it is the same with the rules set by God, if you go out and do stuff that is not acceptable by God, you pay for it. Is that so hard to get, and if you do not belive in God, that is your problem, but yes, there are rules in all that we do in life, and that means spiritual too. You are here, do you think it is possible that you just jumped out of a rock, who made the rock, put on your thinking hat, if you can. Let's see, who made the universe, who made our planet, does something come from nothing... You see, by the fact that you are here, it means that a life giver gave you life. Didn't your mother give you life, or could you just decide, oh, I think I want to be born, so I will just create myself and jump out of the ocean, etc. Just really, think about the wonders that are around you, and the perfect natujre of all, our bodies, and everything. Yes, there are diseases, we die, there are wars. But you have to realize that man chose this life, God did not want it to be like this. We have to ultimately die, and we must work, and things go wrong, but God did not intend it to be this way, man chose it. God gave you a choice, and if you ask, He will help you, but He cannot make it absolutely 100% perfect, you would not learn, and we must learn lessons on this earth, whether you like it or not, I wish it was what you desperately want it to be, becasue it is scary to have to pay for sins, but it is also scary to go to prison. That is just the way it is.

How do you know it is nothing more than a scare tactic? Is there any chance that Hell might be real? Is it possible to be close-minded against that possibility?

Just living human kind at loss with self lack of knowledge vital for their own survival being overlook while having problems with misinterpretation and miscommunication with communication failures and communication break-down on planet earth.
Imagine would you go out and tell your neighbours that you can't read and write but know how to drive a car on planet earth?
How do you feel?

what will you do .. if one said to you a car does not need a designer .. we all know that repairing it needs an expert person .. then how could it does not need a designer ..
then think about this universe .. stars .. galaxies .. atoms .. living beings and humans .. what do you think .. does not it need a designer ? .. and tell who is the closed-minded ..?

You are so right, dude. You go, dude. I am an atheist and this is exactly why. God is just an escape for those who don't want to face their own, freaking problems.
