What logical reasons for not believing in God do You have?

Answer 1

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!

Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!

Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?

My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:

Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...

Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...

Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

Answer 2

I don't, but I don't have any logical reasons to believe in God either.

Answer 3

I've been on both sides of the question. When I didn't believe in God, I can recall that I had no logical reasons for doing so.
Now that I am a believer, I can enumerate so many reasons (both based in logic and upon faith) why I believe He exists and is so real to me.

Answer 4

Logic can't prove he doesn't exist, but I just can't find reasons enough to believe in Him. Also, I ask myself, if there is a good and omnipotent God, Why does He send His profets only to people in West Asia? If He wants to save mankind, why not send a couple of profets to India, China, Africa, and so on? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 5

This is mostly aimed at the xian god as opposed to all gods, but it's in there:

How does one reconcile omnipotence, omnibenevolence and omniscience with this world and the life on it. And, why are there so many billions of people living in entire, huge countries whose culture has nothing remotely like the xian god and jesus. Here is a post I did before on the topic:

Because I look at what life was like for human beings for the past 40,000 years (maybe 6,000 for you). People lived for an average of 30-40 years. More than 50% of children died before age one (until about 100 years ago!). I look at thousands of children permanently blinded by parasites they get from playing in creeks in underdeveloped countries.

Then I look at children of modern developed countries, of any religion. I see that they live until their EIGHTIES!! Have all their teeth for a very long time. Have excellent health, etc... And I see that this has nothing to do with religion or god. It is medicine and science. So was it god's plan that hundreds of generations of people would suffer and die in their 40's and suddenly in the 19th and 20th century, everything would get better?

That's nothing other than sadistic.

I also look at all the different gods and interpretations of these gods for the past 4,000-5,000 years. I see how silly it is to point to one religion in the roman era and say "Ah, THIS is the correct one!"

Answer 6

It is the single most illogical thing in the world.

If I told you that I time travel. Would you think I was crazy? Probably.

If I told you that I can fly would you think I was lying? Probably.

But if I told you that if I kneel down in front of my bed, and with no one listening I ask for help on something and expect to receive that help from a being that controls the growth of every blade of grass and hears every prayer you would think I am completely sane and would probably respect me even more for it.

It is completely illogical.

Answer 7

The belief in God is a positive claim. It must be backed up by evidence, or it is not true. There is no evidence to back it up. This doesn't mean the claim is undecided, and either answer is 'ok'. It means that the claim is unsupported, and so the logical answer is that the claim is not true.

Take your question and shift it, and then respond back to me: "What logical reasons for not believing in Santa do You have?"

Answer 8

Because most humans only believe in what they can see, they haven't taken the time to look around and wonder what makes rivers flow, the wonders of the human body, the beauty in each day, I could go on and on..........

Answer 9

I believe in anything that can be backed up with solid proof. If you can't prove it to me then I don't believe. I don't believe something just because someone says that I should. if you want me to believe then show and tell me why.

Answer 10

The mere fact that I can use logic is concrete enough for me.
