Answer 1

They havn't seen Allah(swt) in front of them but they can say they won't bellieve in Allah(swt) now. But when the time comes they will go to hell for obvious reasons because Allah(swt) has told us to do things in this world and if they don't believe in Allah(swt) then who's commands are they going to obey.so we don't need to worry. Allah(swt) can do anything and it's up to him to put some knowledge into their brains or to just keep it blank.
Salaam.N thanx back 2 ya for da question.

Answer 2

Do you believe that George Washington was the first president? All we have are paintings, and history books. Maybe he never really existed? The only reason we believe is because it didn't happen so long ago, however the farther away we get from Jesus's existence, people think more and more that it didn't happen. When Jesus was first born, and the Bible was being written, of course people believed it becuase the book was talking about something that happened not that long ago. In 200 years, people may be questioning the existance of George Washington, or Christopher Columbus, or what if Pocahontas and John Smith is just a legend? The Bible is the oldest history book ever written, any historians will agree with that. I believe that there was Christopher Columbus, and also that God exists, and Jesus exists, and that He died for all of man kind. Sure the Bible is on a different level then what Columbus did, but thats why I must believe it, becuase it is beyond anything else, it is a teaching that has to really do with my life. I can know all the facts about history and memorize dates, and the order of presidents, but none of that is going to help me get through life. God gave us His Word, the Bible, to give us the greatest knowledge of all, how to live our lives, and the promise of eternal life and happiness with Him in Heaven. That is what is important.

Answer 3

people don't believe in God because they say there is no evidence etc. But how can you test if God is there or not? a hundred years ago if you told someone or tried to explain the Internet they wouldn't understand what it was. A thousand years ago if you told someone that there would be machines that flew in the air they would think you are crazy. Just because you can't see it now doesn't mean it is not possible. Modern science as advanced as WE THINK it is really isn't advanced at all, there are so many things we don't know about and can't prove, so in my opinion giving an answer that there is no evidence of God is not an evidence that there isn't a God.

Answer 4

Believing in God is a lot like believing in Santa Claus. It's fun if you enjoy playing the role of a good boy/girl or saved person with reward in mind. However, it is no longer fun once the mind has developed to a point of understanding logic and being able to distinguish between fact and fiction. Believing in fairy tales would be a lot more fun if the particular fairy tale was a little more positive.

Look at original sin. How silly is that? God made me, yet I am imperfect. God loves me, yet I am damned unless I meet certain criteria. God loves the entire world, yet well over 50 percent of all humans have not and will not meet his requirements for salvation and are therefore destined to spend eternity in a hell he created.

I wonder what percentage of people in this world would wish that type of fate upon the people they love. Who in their right mind wishes eternal suffering on their loved ones. Why would any person who does love want to take part in this godly love?

Or perhaps it is all a story... a story that worked well for certain societies during different times throughout human history... a story with characters borrowed from other cultures... a story that is demonstratably false when it's literal translation is measured scientifically.

So I ask you, why DO people believe in God? A lack of belief does not indicate that a choice has been made. However, positive belief is a direct indication of choice. People make the choice to believe... WHY?

Answer 5

Your reason for believing in god makes no sense. Just because you can't explain something does not lead to a logical conclusion that god did it.

For example, let's say you have never been to a hotel, and through some circumstance you go to a hotell and spend the night. The next day, you go out shopping. You come back and the room is clean. "how did that happen, I don't know, god must have done it!". But that is not logical, as there are other explanations.

I don't believe in god because there is no evidence, and it is not logical to do so.

Answer 6

Creation

The Coming of the Son of Man:

"There will be strange things happening to the sun, the moon, and the stars. On earth whole countries will be in despair, afraid of the roar of the sea and the raging tides. People will faint from fear as they wait for what is coming over the whole earth, for the powers in space will be driven from their courses. Then the Son of Man will appear, coming in a cloud with great power and glory. When these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your salvation is near." ~ Luke 21:25-26 I encourage you to click on to the following site below.....found in the "source section".

Answer 7

I do not believe in God because I see no justification for a belief that there is a greater and benevolent power in control of existence. I see good and evil embroiled in chaos. I see little to no order in events, I just cannot see that anybody is driving this crazy thing. We can see the same world and come to opposite conclusions about this. I hope you are right and I am wrong, enjoy your faith.

Answer 8

Lack of courage to take the leap of faith and cross over. Human thought is threatened by God and so naturally denies God's existence. Keep in mind that it is the human mind (not divine mind) that loves sin, hate, deception, malice, envy, greed, wickedness, sexual perversions, slander, and so on. Humans fancy too that they are an entity, or a god, and have free will to sin, have an ego, and put on a robe of pride every day. It is human weakness that perpetuates unbelief.

Answer 9

"Belief" is when you don't know something so you make up a fiction and hold it as true. Those without belief accept reality and truth and don't hold reality to be bottled up in fictional fallacies. Believing in god is the utmost turn-over of your philosophical being. By believing in god you no longer have to think and accept reality. How nice...

Those that accept reality can really make reality better, stronger, more loving and ethically moral without a false reason. The reason to do good is simply because it is right not because you will go to an imaginary hell or heaven.

Answer 10

Because many people do not suffer from a form of mental disorder called schyzophrenia. Some of the symptoms of schyzophrenia are: illusion, delusion, hallucinations, thinking that invisible beings are watching you and influencing your life, illogical thinking, not being able to make hte difference between fantasy and reality, believieng that caracters of tales and legends are real...
Sounds familiar ?
Anybody with these symptoms should seek psychiatric help. Treatment is availlable.

Answer 11

A more appropriate question is why do you believe when the story of a deity is no more real than that of Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy? You are free to believe whatever you wish regarding any topic, just as long as you don't try to force me to govern myself in accordance to your beliefs. You try that and you're gonna get hurt real, real bad!
