Is it wrong to beleive there is no God?

Question

Ok. I used to believe in god, but that was before my parents gave me up to the goverment. Then from there to 6 foster homes and then eventually to a adoptive home. I don't feel any thing left for God. Would God let a child slip away from theier real parents to someone who loves them not? I'm confused. Should i keep the hate or diminish it?

Answer 1

The fool says in his heart there is no God.

Your parents abandoned you, but God has not.

Answer 2

God loves you and doesnt want you to be unhappy, so yes, it is wrong not the believe in God. Why did your parents give you up to the government? If you stayed with them, would things really have been any better. You don't know what could have happened if you stayed with them. God knows what is best for you, or better, in ur case, and one day ull stand back and it will make sense.

Right now, u cant lose ur belief, especially not now.

God told people not to hate. But that was not just because he said so, he knows what is best for us and he knows how the human emotions work. He knows that if we harbor hate inside us, it will drive us mad, it will rune our lives and well always we unhappy. So he told us to let go of our hate so that we could be free. So even if you don't believe in God, if you want to be free, just stop hating.

God didn't let all these things happen to u, he would never, but if you don't ask God to help you and especially if you lose your belief, he can to anything. However, he must be there, cos ur still alive. We humans are so arrogant to think that God owes us something. He doesnt. The only reason why we are actually alive in the morning is because God has merci. We think we have a right to everything, but we dont. So think, ur still alive, u still have a chance, u didnt get hit by a car the last time u crossed a road. You had food on the table for ur last meal, you have clothes on ur back...who gave these basic things to you? people? maybe, but u could so easily not have all these things.

With God next to you, u have nothing to fear. You can give all your burdens to Him, all your worries can be taken away and you will be free of the grip that is on your life which is causing you so much pain. If you trust in God, no matter how bad things seem, He will always make them better in the end. He will take all ur hatrid away. As long as He is with you, as long as you belive and put ur trust in Him, no harm can come to you.

Speak to Him, pray and ull find ur answer, cos He loves you. Anyway, what have you to lose? cos you have so much to gain.

Answer 3

It's not wrong to believe that there is no God, despite what you might read here. It's best to arrive at this position after careful thought, however, rather than out of anger and disappointment.

Certainly hate is not something that you want to keep. It's like keeping a cobra in your shirt. Eventually it will bite you.

Forgiveness is a useful thing for the forgiver. It frees him from the burden of anger and hate and allows him to live fully and enjoy his life.

Since your situation has been a complicated one, you might do well to try and find some help. There are counsellors and psychologists who have insight into the problems you might be having and can help you reach a more comfortable understanding of things.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Well first of all, if you have chosen this belief then you have nothing to be ashamed of. Perhaps you may just feel this way because of life experiences. Religion is a very personal thing and you need to decide for yourself what is best for you. One thing is for sure, hate is never worth holding onto, it only wears you out. Perhaps you could research it further, make sure that the decision you are making is an informed one. But in the end, it is YOUR choice. Good luck to you.

Answer 5

No one is perfect in this world least of all parents. I "m sorry your childhood was so bad and I hurt for you. You can do one of two things,blame God,parents or the government the rest of your life and be miserable or give your burdens to God so you can forgive and live a peaceful life.

Answer 6

Everyone has their own beliefs, and reasons for those beliefs. Have no belief in any god or gods is called Atheism. I'm Catholic but religion is really a big part of my life.

On another note, I don't think i could possibly go through what you have gone through. You're a real trooper.

Answer 7

I am sorry to hear what you have been through. God doesn't create pain. We as humans create pain. Your parents were irresponsible, this isn't God's fault. However, God can help you get through the suffering. Have you ever prayed to him and asked him for strength? Hopefully you will open your heart to him and try to overcome the awful periods in your life. There is a poem called Footprints In The Sand, I think you should read it.

Answer 8

You should definitely diminish the hate...it will do nothing positive for you. Don't think that you HAVE to believe in a god though...you're perfectly free to make your own choice, and don't let anyone scare you and tell you that you're going to hell if you don't believe.

Answer 9

Hate is often unproductive and dangerous, but it can lead to good things if aimed at evil (like people that hate Nazis).
And yes if God is all knowiing, and all powerful and still allows suffering...he either is evil or just dosen't exist.

Answer 10

I'm sorry for your experience. It's hard for somebody who hasn't had this to answer. But I will try to give you some personal reactions.

I'm 70. What seems to happen in life (my own experience and others I have heard about, or seen around me, or discussed with friends who were having a bad time of it) is that good things happen and bad things happen and you are often surprised by when and how they happen.

Everybody needs love. Everyone expects love from their family and would like to give love in return. When it turns out that this doesn't happen, it is a shock. And sometimes it is devastating.

In my case. for example, I grew up feeling generally quite secure in the love of my parents and (I thought) in the love of my family. My father died over twenty years ago and my mother within the last 10 years. Then I found, suddenly, that my sister hated me and that she and her husband built up a dispute over the estate into a law case and projected their own greed onto me, alleging that I had swindled my mother. This hurt me deeply, because it was absolutely untrue (my sister who lived near my mother basically had power of attorney, I had no access to her assets) and because it was a surprise from someone I had trusted and loved.

This threw me for a loop. But I gradually realized that, in life, I had many sources of love that had developed beyond my birth family: my wife/companiion, my chidren, my grandchildren, my friends, and people in general with whom I interacted positively.

I share this autobiography not because I want to focus on myself, but because I hope it will be helpful to you. You never know what is around the corner, and, if you experience things that are bad. you can also experience things that are good and that make you feel good.

Please give yourself a chance. Please believe in something, whether it is yourself and your own worth as a person, or beauty, or nature, or people, or the order (at least mathematically) of the universe. Engage yourself. Learn, relate to people, do things. Aside from being worthwhile in themselves, this process of engagement will expose you to many more chances for finding yourself and for finding situations you love and people who love you.

As to your main question, I am personally a believer, though not without many periods of doubt and quesioning. But I think, ultimately, that whether you believe in God is less important than whether you believe in Life and in making as full as possible a contribution to life by interacting positively with your fellow human beings. If God exists, he will continue to exist, despite your lack of belief, and if he observes human actions and you are a good, participating, contributing human being this will speak in your favor more than any forced prayers might. And if God doesn't exist, than being a good, participating, contributing human being. in whatever way you see it and experience it, will be good for you and your happiness, and will be good in itself.

Be well.

Answer 11

No, some people try to believe in God but really are atheist at heart.
