I assume that you are accessing YA from the library's public computer. That you are dressed in clothes that other people have donated to you. That your evening meal will come from a soup kitchen. That you will sleep on a grate or in a shelter tonight.
What? I'm wrong?
Now you can answer your own question.

Supply and Demand. Because there is a finite supply of worldly things that makes them more valuable then an infinite supply of God. So therefore the demand for worldly things is higher than the demand for God. I mean think about you can get pleasure from God any old time even after you die, but how long will that girl at the bowling ally keep putting out?

Two possible answers why people seek pleasure from finite worldly things.
1. Maybe, no one yet was able to enligten them of the glorous gospel of Christ.
2. or maybe, they don't want God and his words.

God is a fairy tale that only morons and retards believe.
I'm no moron and I like finite worldly things, because I earn them.
And I also love worldly, mundane, raunchy sex, especially with two gals at the time, a pleasure no religion or tooth fairy can provide.

Because we as humans tend to look out for what's in our best interest. That's part of our survival instincts. Often that means lookin at things from a short term basis.
Instead, as Christians, should we not be looking at things from an eternal perspective. Those things can include being the best worker, parent, Christian, helper, friend, co-worker, leader, etc. Whatever gifts and talents we possess, we should be doing those things to the glory of God.

cause finite worldly things are measurable, tangible, and pleasurable, whereas infinite godly things are ... none of that. and cant even be proven to exist.

the answer is probable a huge no. the international of arguing over the information of religion is a unnecessary one which has no end, the reality is that no man or woman is time-honored with of the answer. regardless of the indisputable fact that, shall we make counseled judgements on the count number, and from the perspective of someone who would not enroll in the concept of religion in any respect (I gained't even settle for agnostic as a religious label, I purely do not renowned the decide on to have this style of label) it type of feels not likely there is an all loving entity observing over us all. you ought to apply this form of realisation to make your existence better effective regardless of the reality that, hating your self, your existence and the cruelty of the international is all only a count number of attitude that could get replaced with some severe attempt.

Paul said with my mind I obey the law of God, but with my flesh, I obey the law of sin. A pariphrase, yes, but you get the point. I hope.

They want things from God but they go to each other to get them. That is understandable. It takes time to do it the other way if that is not your habit.

Could it be because "worldly things" are real and omnipotent deities are not?
