Why do people live their life without God in it? I don't get it. You may not want to admit it but he is in this world weather you like it or not. The majority of people on earth do believe in him so get used to it! He is always here for you and will wait until you wise up and and except him. Don't give me this stupidity of Christians needing something to believe in because we need that "security" in our lives. What if your wrong? What would you do? If we are wrong we have nothing to loose, but if you are the ones who are wrong, you have everything to loose and you don't even know it.

The proof is in my heart!

Your comments can not hurt me for I have the power of Christ to overcome them. In fact they actually make me smile.

Dear booellis-
It is hard to imagine why anyone would deny that God exists. What I have learned over the years in bible study is that those who choose to deny God, would rather "enjoy" living in sin and darkness.
Jesus is the Light of the world. Light exposes what is in the darkness.
Romans 1:19-22 that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations and their foolish heart was darkened, professing to be wise they became fools.
I see that you have had a lot of answers full of "foolish speculations". Pray be ready to share your witness for Christ with people. Study the bible so you can show folks from scripture the truth of God's Word.
2 Timothy 4:2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season reprove exhort with great patience and instruction. (read the rest of this in context it's good instruction!)
1 Peter 3:15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.
Sincerely- Redeemed (by the blood of the Lamb)

*sigh* I don't care how old you are... you're still incredibly naive in the ways of the world.
"Excuse me but I'm 29!"
And you think like your shoe size.
"Why do people live their life without God in it?"
Because they can. We don't need religion to be productive members of society. Why is that so difficult for you to grasp?
" You may not want to admit it but he is in this world weather you like it or not"
Really? Prove it.
"The majority of people on earth do believe in him so get used to it!"
This is your first lie. The majority of people on earth (66%, actually) do NOT believe in your god. If you don't believe me, go to http://www.adherents.org/.
"He is always here for you and will wait until you wise up and and except him."
Why is an all-knowing god "waiting" for anything? If he's always here for me, then you assert again that he exists. Second time: prove it.
"Don't give me this stupidity of Christians needing something to believe in because we need that "security" in our lives."
We're not giving it to you... you're giving it to us.
"What if your wrong?"
Then I burn in hell. But I'm not concerned with me being wrong.
Would you take the next step and ask YOURSELF that question? No. Of course not. You have the presupposition that what you believe is 100% true, and nothing will change your mind. That's called ignorance.
"If we are wrong we have nothing to loose, but if you are the ones who are wrong, you have everything to loose and you don't even know it."
This is called Pascal's Wager, and there's several different reasons why it's an ineffective argument for belief. I suggest you do your homework and look it up. Even if it were true, it's still no evidence that your god exists.
"The proof is in my heart!"
Your heart is not proof of a god.
"Your comments can not hurt me for I have the power of Christ to overcome them. In fact they actually make me smile."
Then you're just in denial. My comments aren't meant to hurt you... they're meant to make you think critically about what you're saying to the nonbeliever. Think of some original arguments, and maybe we'll talk.

Some people are to ignorant to see the truth, some are so educated they THINK they know everything and leave the possibility of God totally out, some are to prideful to admit that they cannot do everything on their own, and some are just to afraid to admit that they may be wrong.
Regardless of their reasons it all comes down to Satan has them blindfolded to the truth, and only God can remove that blindfold. God will not force them to let go the blindfold if they want to continue in their delusion.

"The majority of people in the world believe in him so get used to it"... Do you think this is decided in an election? You might have noticed that the majority of people in the world are not Christian either.

As a Christian, you should know we have free will. Some people will never believe. Just remember one day all will know Jesus. Keep your faith, tell of God's Grace and live accordingly.
God bless you and Merry Christmas.

Not even the power of christ can save your spelling, mob rule is not something to aspire to and Pascal's Wager has been debunked so many times I cannot begin to list them.

It is an outdated way of keeping people under control. Western European countries are secular now, and we have moved on a bit. I'm quite happy without religion in my life, and that is my choice and my right.

Shedevil:
As long as man exists evil will exist. As long as man, WITH HIS OWN FREE WILL, rejects God's wise counsel and warnings there will be evil. God is willing and able to completely wipe out evil in the world but only when man agrees acts accordingly with his free will. However, your posting your question in the way you have is evidence that man will continue to act contrary to the warnings and counsel of God regardless of how much better it is for us than our own philosophy.

Wow, you've gotten so much into your question! Pascal's wager, insults, a little "neener neener neener!" and misspellings.
It's quite simple - we don't believe it. In fact, we know it to be nonsense.
What you believe to be fact we do not.

because not everyone is a christian . . some people have different religious beliefs and a real christian knows and understands this.
