If I believe in God and am wrong What have I lost?

Question

Does my belief in God harm you? Does it harm me? Why are there such zealots against God?

Answer 1

To answer your first question. No you have not lost anything if you are wrong. I have always told people that i would rather be right and be me than be wrong and be you.

Yes our belief in God does harm those who do not believe. You have to remember that Satan is out there working against God. He is campaigning to get all the people he can into hell before God ends his time here on earth. Those who actively speak against God are led by Satan to do so.

The only thing we can do is witness to them by the way we live and by telling the truth, and hope they can see the difference between true Christians and those who just pretend to be Christian.

Answer 2

I can tell you what the manuscripts say about there being zealots against God:
In the end times (that would be now) the spirit of Elijah will come and turn the hearts of the children back to their fathers. That word "fathers" is plural for a good reason: there is more than one "father" at play here.
Satan rebelled in the last earth age, and the war is still on.....
Satan showed up in the garden of eden and seduced Eve - she did not eat an apple, friend.
She had sexual relations with satan, and so did
Adam. God told Eve He would multiply her conception - He did; multiplied by two. She was pregnant with twins - one pregnancy of two separate fathers (separate sacks, of course).
Abel was Adams son; but Cain was satan's son. Genesis 5:1 gives you the complete geneology of Adam - you won't find Cain listed there, because Cain simply is not Adams son.
Cain was thrown out of the Garden, and a mark was placed on him. Ever hear of the mark of the beast? Well, this is its origin. Cain was marked with the mark of his father, satan.
Anyway, Cain had lots of decendants. They are called Kenites, which translated means "sons of Cain". These Kenites even made it thru the flood of Noah - you will find them alive and well and doing scribe-work (go figure) for the Tribe of Judah, in 1Chronicles 2:55 -
And, those decendants are on this earth today.
So this is why the hearts of the children will turn back to their fathers. Not all of us are children of God the Father. If you are of your father, the devil, the deeds of your father you will do.
Its really just that simple.

Hello dear friend,

If you understood the written word, then you would see that in this world, there will be many decieved and mislead, wrapped in the ideology that they are free and anything that requires obedience is control and wont be accepted. Trust in the word, I watch TABOO and there are so many more people that need to hear the word, in my opinion we have a long way to go before the anticipated end comes, but in the meantime do not turn to the right or to the left, pray that God keeps your path straight. You only lose the false friendships and empty place that dwells within you spirit. Stay strong in the faith brother.

You'll be more likely to dismiss a lot of factual things, such as what science may have to offer, to explain things that you explain using "God" as the answer. Not to mention any moral beliefs you may have about mankind that you apply to your life and others lives... I feel a lot of religious people are missing out on a lot of the experiences life has to offer, not to mention they CHOOSE to be ignorant of a lot of historical and scientific facts, which is why I'm annoyed most by religious zealots, especially those who want to push religion on to the general public.

I myself used to be part of a church and I know a lot of religious people, I know the way they act and what they are programmed to say-- although I feel being religious can be completely different from being a church cult member, that is exactly what I feel a church is-- a cult. I don't know many ex-church goers or family members of church goers who don't agree.

I believe in general that there may be a higher power, a "god", but I also don't think that should effect the way I live my life here on Earth, either. Heaven and Hell are child-like fairytale concepts that sound pretty much like scare tactics to enforce someone's concept of morality. Not to mention, if you believe in god, which god? There are only hundreds of gods and religions to choose from, all which have very similiar proof of credibility. Everyone has some document they claim is the "Word of god" everyone has history, everyone admits they just "know" and "we don't understand how they feel god in their lives". It's all the same. And if you analyze the history of religion there is a clear evolution of religion from the early days of mankind when gods first mimicked childbirth (mother earth), then gods were used to explain the unexplainable or to represent different aspects of the world... polytheistic religions with male and female deities had equal appreciation for man and female citizens, patriarchal societies worshipped one male god... this evolves as society evolves... its not rocket science to figure out its myth.

Answer 5

People aren't usually zealots against GOD. People are vocal about not being called immoral and evil for not believing in God. They're vocal about not having other's beliefs pushed in their face. Your belief in God harms no one as long as you don't use it to harm others. If you respect others right to believe in other things, or not believe in anything, then they will respect you.

Answer 6

First, not believing in God does not make one a zealot.

What you have lost is an entire lifetime of viewing the universe as the wonderful place it is. You have spent an entire life in pursuiit of a reward that is not to come.

Belief in God, for all its benefits, also coincides with irrational thought, denial of science, bad apocolyptic government policies,,, depending on your interpretation of God's rules, it also leads to a very unatural life, denying oneself of many of the pleasures that nature offers...

Answer 7

I'm not a zealot against god. I'm a zealot againt people who want to preach their religion in public schools and subject impressionable young people to Jesus Camp.

Answer 8

It doesn't harm you. If you need that religious crutch to get through life and have something to look forward to, I have no prejudice against you. I do have dislike for people who generalize, though.

Answer 9

Your religious beliefs do not affect me. In fact, I applaud you for believing in God.

I don't see why your beliefs would affect you. It is your constitutional right that allows you to enjoy Freedom of Cult.

I encourage you, and other believers to continue exploring your truths, and do not let religious leaders impose their religious views on you.

Answer 10

Believe all you want but keep your personal beliefs out of government, our schools, our personal lives. Not everyone shares your particular views on god(s) or any other deity.
