Why do people believe in something that doesn't exist??

Answer 1

+ What are you referring to? Just because you can't see something does that mean that it does not exist?
I can't see the wind, but I can feel it and I know it exists. What are you getting at?

Answer 2

soooooooooooooo you know this for a fact? wheres your proof. some who say there is a god and some who say there isnt. there is no proof or fact. some people need to believe because it would tear them up to believe that this was it. and theyd never see their loved ones. some people dont believe because it gives them a sence that they wont have to answer for anything in the end. either way its not very productive. because the people who need to believe dont put in as much quality time with the ones they love because they believe theyll see them again. those that dont believe feel that its of to do whatever the hell they want because how can you be judged in the end for lying and cheating and promiscuity and etc. either way its counter productive. im very spiritual. but i do not mean religious. i believe in god, but not the whole religion circus. just be aware of life and living it right no matter what the end holdslive like youll never see someone and live with pride and dignaty and respect. so you cant really say whos right or wrong. just live the best you can and embrace your own beliefs. who gives a crap what others think and believe. so please dont judge and i hope this helps.

Answer 3

The only thing that exist is God the creator and all his creation.
But Satan and his fellow fallen angels had a mandate. The Bible says that when the Gospel is preached throughout the world Christ will return, and Satan will be bound and thrown into the lake of fire.

Satan wants to live forever - so he conjures up so many false
religions - using prideful and prophet wannabes by giving them
miraculous abilities to write false bibles which misleads people to believe them ( thinking these illiterates must be real prophets to come up with such elaborate literature ). Many even died in vain for these false beliefs thinking they will inherit heaven with
dozens of virgins as brides. * This is one case where people
who cannot see through such intricate lies of Satan believe in things that does not exist.* So called prophet wannabe Joseph Smith even had dozens of virgins even in this life with his lies.


In both cases these so called prophets were influenced by Fallen
Angels in clothing of Light. 2 Corinthians 11: 14,15 says ---

14. And no wonder, for Satan masquerades himself as an Angel of Light.
15. it is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.

These false prophets have no truth in them - and people believe
in non existent promises which are used by Satan (also called the snake) to mislead shallow people.

SEEK YE THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND.

Answer 4

Einstein's theory of relativity. Two people witness the same thing. The first person sees one thing, the second person something similar yet different. It is relative to who you are, what you have lived, and your perspective. What doesn't exist to some is more real than life itself to others. Who is to say what doesn't exist? I would love to be a fly on the wall when nonbelievers meet their Savior and tell Him He isn't real! Do you think they will?

Answer 5

Because things that exist do not require a person to believe in them.

Answer 6

This question is totally directed at GOD, something we all Cristian's are aware of it , isn't? well assuming it is, I would say because we humans with all the sophisticated abilities to think and to rationalize, we have hard time accepting such a final end of our being, at death time , and the fear of not being able to know what awaits us, if anything , we have grabbed with hopes or faith to something " GOD " that fills an area in our chests that other wise would fill empty and devoid of hope , so Christians in pursuit to fill that void axept with 100% firmness of God's existence , to some is delusion to many is salvation , is just what humans need to make it through this life , to make some sense of it .

Answer 8

Everybody has to have something to believe in. For them it does exist. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there- you can still feel it.

Answer 9

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

Answer 10

Why do you limit yourself to what you have personally witnessed?

Oh, I am sorry, you probably believe things that you have no particular knowledge of: Proof: You have probably never seen a cancer cell, but I bet you believe in Cancer. Why? maybe because lots of doctors told you it was a reality.

And the list goes on, and on, ... until you come to a belief in your future. (Believe it or not there are more Christians than Doctors. They have probably told you that God is a reality, but you don't seem to believe what they have told is true.

Question: Why would they tell you God is real, unless they believed and have witnessed that he is real.

You can explain it us, but can you explain it to yourself?
