questions for those that don't belive in god?

Question

why?

Answer 1

Because.

Answer 2

1) The believers have been corrupted by their bible until they become super-bigots with no reason in their mind.

2) They have had bad experiences that have made them question whether there is something out there.

3) They put two and two together and got more than a thousand contradictions.

4) Those damn fundies.

5) Reason.



What's even worse is that I believe in God, but I understand their decision to sever from religion. If it not for that one sighting of Jesus, I would be an atheist, too.
Happy Holidays.

Answer 3

no physical evidence to support and not enough at least yet to completly disprove the theory but it certainly seems to be in contrast with the laws of physics and science especially if you are speaking of the god of the bible. That god for some reason was performing incredible physical tasks some 5 or 6 thousand years ago such as parting seas, flooding the earth, appearing all over to people then suddenly he stopped seems interesting that his stopping coincided with the increased knowledge of the structure and function of the universe. Almost like when you are a kid and realize that Santa Claus can't possibly travel around the world in one night or that Bunnies don't have the mental capacity to bring you candy

Answer 4

Most people just aren't convinced. I personally believe in god. I mean, we can't just be here for absolutney no reason at all. Some one must have made us! I know that thoery about the metoers that crashed and resulted in the formation of the earth, but come on who made the metoers? some one must have made them. and more importantly someone must have made us. We didnt just show up. Actually this is a very complicating subject and i think everyone has a different point of view on it. so dont worry why others do or do not believe, focus on yourself and your beliefs.

Answer 5

I was born into a christian family. Grew up as christian meaning, protestant, pentecost, seventhday adventist, now legally because of my wife a catholic. The seventhday adventist gave me free education, food till I was 18. At 22 years I was fully convinced there was no god (till that time I always doubted). Now I am 48, Its nearly 26 years since I went to church, prayed to any god or any such nonsense. I have a good business, lot of time in hand, no tensions, good wife and children, I dont believe in life after death and am the happiest, and content person on earth...should I believe in god? what nonsense

Answer 6

Not a quote, but from Ayn Rand: When we hear/read ideas we ought think of them in terms of possibility/probability and assess their worth (and need for further research) based on that assessment. For example, if I tell you that I just saw a circle with four corners, you can assess my statement as immediately false based on common factual knowledge that it CANNOT be true. But if I tell you it is raining outside, you can determine that my statement is possible (because it does rain sometimes), and decide to test for yourself to see if I am right or wrong. If I tell you it is raining outside and while telling you this you notice my clothes/items are wet, and so are the clothes of others coming in from outdoors, you can consider my statement probably (ie. more than likely) and even more worthy of further study.

While the claim that god exists is not /impossible/, it is far from /probable/. It is possible, but NOT likely, due to the number of improbable things one must accept in order to believe in God. A reasonable person does not believe, but insists on tests.

Since there is no test for the existence of God yet, it is best to put the question aside until further evidence can be presented to make the idea probable.

Answer 7

No evidence, doesn't make sense, leads to conclusions I don't agree with, many times ends up making religious people restrict freedoms of people who aren't in agreement with their nonverifiable belief system, often contradicts learning and scientific endeavor, etc....

Why do you believe? What proof have you that God exists or that its the God that you choose to believe in rather than the God from some other religion?

Answer 8

hmm, i'm an atheist and i don't believe in 'god' as other religions put it but i do believe that there are things out there so different than me that i could never understand them. so i'm an atheist, but i'm still spiritual, i just don't believe in the gods of the churches. they almost make too much sense, the idea seems too man-made.

good question by the way. it's good for people to be able to back up their beliefs, i think.

Answer 9

I do not believe in "god" because I do not believe in idols. I was taught that all "gods" with a "small 'g'" were false. So, this question is really a non-issue with most Americans any way. But more and more American do believe in god--like the almighty dollar, etc.

Answer 10

Historical refutation as the definitive refutation.-- In former times, one sought to prove that there is no God - today one indicates how the belief that there is a God arose and how this belief acquired its weight and importance: a counter-proof that there is no God thereby becomes superfluous.- When in former times one had refuted the 'proofs of the existence of God' put forward, there always remained the doubt whether better proofs might not be adduced than those just refuted: in those days atheists did not know how to make a clean sweep.

from Nietzsche's Daybreak,s. 95, R.J. Hollingdale transl.






After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave - a tremendous, gruesome shadow. God is dead; but given the way of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown. -And we- we still have to vanquish his shadow, too.

from Nietzsche's The Gay Science, s.108, Walter Kaufmann transl

Answer 11

for some people it doesn't feel right and one has to take a literal 'leap' of faith to believe.
It can't be forced. A lot of people need an experience or something of a huge coincedence or little miracle in order to attribute the unexplainable to a higher power.
