Why and why don't you think we need Him? Every little bit helps. Thank you.

WE might need God, but I don't.
The easiest way to control a mass population is through fear and unified propaganda. Bush gives us the threat of terrorism so we turn a blind eye to rising interest rates and outrageous gas prices. Christianity gives us the threat of eternal pain and suffering so that we follow illogical rules without question.
Everyone gets bullied by older kids growing up. There comes a point in time when you get tired of being bullied and controlled by empty threats and refuse to give in any more. That's why I don't need anyone's God telling me what to do.

I don't. People tend to worship a God that mirrors them. Kind people worship a kind God. Mean people worship a mean God. Insecure people worship an insecure God who gets upset because cashiers in stores say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." Even though I'm a theist (Pagan), I think it's therefore more important to work on our own minds, and pursue kindness. I say this having met some very kind atheists, whose beliefs tell them that they have to help because prayer doesn't work and they have to make the most of this life because there isn't anything else. I married one of them.

We have fallen human natures we have hearts that need resusitation.... just like someone who drown might need artificial respiration we need God to breath life into us
We think we can serve him out of our raw will and strength...but no... "the son of man did not coem to serve but to serve and give His life an atonement for sin" Mark 8:45 He needs to serve us... only then can we serve Him acceptably

all people are not knowing the reason of birth, all creatures are having specific reason. all people are sinners no one is perfect for all so we need wisdom and salvation and eternal life. we have to seek the creator The Lord Jesus Christ, to get all these things and enjoy the life with meaningful and fulfill the purpose of the life in the earth. Without Jesus and Bible you can't understand all these things.thank you

Well I need God when I face trials to help me through them. I need God when it seems I can talk to no one else. I need God because of His Son. Everyone needs God but many refuse to believe in him. Satan has blinded many from the truth.

It is God almighty who has created us.It is because of him that we all are here.Our life,good and bad happenings are there because of Him.One cannot cut the vine from the branch as ,on doing so the branches would wither away.similarly you are nothing without God.Those who think that they can do without Him,are fools on this earth!

We need god in our life for stability. He gives you something that no human can. You can commit murder and be forgiven. when you have no one, and you feel no ones there for you... he will always be there. He's like a birthmark that you hide but think its kinda cute cuz it completes you. it shows who you are

by beliving in god, we not only do good for the society, but also to our selves. nobody knows, wether god exists or not. it is a mystery, that the historians left for us to find out.
we dont really need god upto some extent.
if we are very confident in the work we do, then no god is required. but if something wrong happens, then we can only remove fear by remembering god!!
so, its upto u......

We don't. Just remember that non-believers live happy, peaceful lives just like everyone else, and they don't discriminate because of religion. And non-believers never kill in the name of God.

Because that is what we were created for - to be close to and worship God.
That is why there is a part of our inner spirit that is drawn to him, and spiritual things.
"The chief end of man is to love and worship God" - The Nicene Creed. That is our whole purpose - sin and rebellion has caused us to be distant from him.
