Because God is!
2006-11-23 02:20:57 · answer #1 · answered by OldGringo 7 · 5⤊ 2⤋
I have a mixture of friends. Some believe something is out there looking after us. Some believe nothing is there and some are born again Christians. I dont go to church (i used too) and I dont believe or disbelieve in God. Alot of my Christian friends will tell me im not excepted in Gods Kingdom because im Lesbian. However that is the person I am and I cannot change the person I am. If Im to be happy and content with my life (while living) then this is how I will live. Alot of people who DONT believe find it hard because of loss of a loved one espically if its through an illness, murder, an accident etc. One of my friends is always saying "if there really is a God he wouldnt allow so much suffering of innocent children and people etc.

For some people, the idea of an omnipotent creator-god is integral to their lives - it's what gives them "purpose", and what defines the universe as having some point. To accept the obvious evidence of the non-existence of god is to have to live in a world that has no greater plan, no meaning, and no such thing as natural justice - no redemption, no sin, nothing beyond chemisty, biology and physics - nothing after this life.
All of which is perfectly true, but they're not easy concepts for the conditioned human brain to accept. Some people would prefer to live in a warm and comfortable fiction than what they see as a cold and meaningless truth.

For the same reason people like you find it hard to accept that there just may actually be a God.

How were we created? The big bang right, the universe was joined together as one mass, then the big bang happened and we were created? If a religion confirmed the big bang would we believe that there is a God?
"Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder?" (21:30)
Above verse from the Quran.

Like all other instruments our intellect is also an instrument with certain limits, apart from this fact that it cannot compass the limitless universe it cannot even help to understand ones own self; God first of all created the knowledge (Gods own knowledge) and with knowledge God did everything such as first with knowledge God created birth and with the birth of all things their seeds, process of their growth and decline ultimately God created death and mortality as a future of all things; God is The Creator of the knowledge of creation and its process. God created the conscious and the work of the conscious and made intellect a means of understanding creatures. Since God is The Creator of intellect or understanding, intellect or understanding cannot compass God. That is why some of us do not believe in God due to the intellect or understanding.
All the deniers deny God, on account of the reason that God is not encircled by their intellect. And ___ all the believers believe in God, on account of the same reason that God is not encircled by their intellect. Therefore, the believers and the deniers, the both, do agree that God is not encircle-able by human intellect.
The believers do believe that God is Ever Sufficient for them and for their needs. And___ God not only, suffices them and their needs, rather, God guides them in every matter in every walk of life. By and by, a co-existing fact is notice-worthy that God remains Ever Sufficient for the deniers as well.
If God had been for the believers alone and God had not been for the deniers___ then everyone would have believed in God’s existence equally so as to meet their needs of life equally.
However God exists.

(Andrew Connde)
God is really existing! Quest of a hundred percent convincing argument in support of this claim, is a matter of specific nature. Which is totally dependent upon one’s own research and experience.
If you will try to understand the Faith, in accordance with it’s prescribed conditions and sources. Then sooner or later, you will come to the enlightening nature and truthfulness of the claim, definitely.
And___ when you will become aware of particular nature of the link between God-n-man including its prescribed conditions to maintain it. And___ when you will become wholeheartedly busy in positive accomplishment of the prescribed conditions. Then, as a result of your sincerity___ such a link between God-n-man will develop___ that no room will remain vacant for any type of doubt or suspicion. And___ faith in God will elevate you up to such an extent that you will feel and realize the Lord____ quiet near and familiar to you. And___ such a soothing satisfaction will prevail all-around you which is meant for the chosen-ones alone.

because people find it hard to accept the harsh reality that is life.
therefore, they make up stories about someone who will always love them, forgive them, look after them and take them up to 'heaven' etc. its a comfort thing. ever notice how lots of people 'find god' after a traumatic event in their life?
Also, they can then justify their hatred of homosexuals and ensure the whole world ends up infected with STI's due to the fact that using contraception is considered a sin. Then again, 'he' would probably just forgive you even if you did use contraception! pointless.
religion was created to control people.
Also, its extremely easy to accept the fact that there is no god due to the fact that there is NO PROOF THAT GOD EXISTS.

There is a God and you could never convince me otherwise! He is Yahweh, Jehovah (LORD), He is my healer, my deliverer, prince of peace, my provider. I lean on, trust in and rely on Him and Him only. He takes care of me and orders my steps toward my destiny. I had to go through a whole lot in my life in order to begin trusting my Lord. Let me tell you something, your intellectualism and reasoning will put you into a deep pit of troubles someday. God will not do this to you but if that's what it will take for you to see the truth, He will allow it. You will have no where to turn but to Him and that's when you will see for yourself that he is the great I AM. He will deliver you from your troubles and you will be saved by grace! God bless you brother and I will be praying for your salvation:)

Social conditioning. It is possible to convert the vulnerable to all manner of nonsense. Habitual repetition, reinforcement, and limited educational diversity creates pockets of believers, the flock mentality, wishful thinking, empowerment of the individual, and something "superior" to others, creates religious indoctrination. Science is taught as the enemy, freethinking is discouraged, and myth and superstition fills the void.
