Question

God wants to give you so much!! so why not to belive in him!!
he does not want to destroy you!!

is like if someone wants to give you 1 million dollars !! would you reject that OF COURSE NOT!! WELL GOD WANTS TO GIVE YOU SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT~~

so that's why I don't understnd atheist - they don't belive in God because of what?????

GOD IS OFFERING SO MUCH!! and they don't want to receive it??

Answer 1

because they like to break the rules. they are rebels and the type who will say; "you can't tell me what to do. I'm an adult!" They refuse to put their lives into the hands of God because they are afraid of what they don't know. They want control of their own lives and in the end they have control on where they will end up and the sad part is that they don't even realize it.

Answer 2

The problem is that Atheists do not believe in your God. Since he does not exist, then there is no offer.

Muslims offer -- just blow up a selected enemy.
Christians offer - just give money and vote the way they say.
etc
etc
Atheists say, be nice to each other cause its the right thing to do.

PS, if you believe in God only cause he is giving you something -- will he not know that and punish you for being greedy.???

-A friend of mine said he believed cause there was no down side. If God existed, he would go to heaven, if not, there was nothing to loose. What a stupid God he has. A God that can see everything and yet not see thru my friends charade. ??????

Ps, do you believe in Thor, Zeus, the FSM, ??? No, why not, millions did long ago. So many people could not be wrong. How about the Jewish God, the Catholic God, the muslim God, which one is the only true God.???

What if you are wrong?? Will you have offended the true God?? Boy will you be in trouble!!!! Me, I am just stupid, but you, you worshiped the WRONG GOD. Boy will he hate that.!!! :-)

Answer 3

u see it's a bad example using money cuz money u can see in your hand n that it's real.God is spoken of by people pretty well a cult n brainwash people into revolving there lives around something that is not real .Just like the bible n how it has been written over n over many times by different people all bcuz it's just a believe when there is nothing else.It's not a bad thing but not always a good thing either, especially when I see someone take all there rent money n give it to a church n to the point that this person ended up homeless do u think god was there to provide a home for her?NO.We all believe what we want it doesn't make anyone wrong or right or different some just blow things out of proportion.Well this was my opinion n sorry if anyone has taken it any other way .

Answer 4

If someone wanted to give you a million dollars, they would show it to you and you could accept something that is actually there. God is not actually there, so he cannot offer you anything. The only thing that can be offered is an illusion in which many people believe and that gives many people both comfort and an enormous amount of stress. Both of these things I can get from my computer as well, and that's a thing that actually exists. So, I go for the computer.

Answer 5

What if someone offered you "eternal life" in exchange of you believeing in a bunch of pink monkeys living on Mars? I don't think you would actually believe in it - no matter how much you would LOVE to have the eternal life. This is why atheists don't "believe" in god: because it seems THIS wacky to them. Besides - how can you accept an offer from an entity that to you seems non-existent? It's a chicken-and-an-egg problem: to accept the offer as real, the entity offering it must be real. But to us atheists, god is about as believable as the pink monkeys. Sorry. I'll believe the "eternal life" spiel when I see it.

(P.S. No offense intended here, of course; I'm just trying to answer your question from my point of view.)

Answer 6

why do Christians always want to know why some people aren't Christians? Is it an insecurity thing, such that you don't know if you even believe in god so you want others to believe so you find it easier to follow Christianity yourself? I just don't get it. You don't hear Atheists saying "why don't Christians reject God?" because it "is a load of garbage". NO, they don't care to push or question the beliefs of others.

And to you Needtoknow, when you grow up you will realize that there are soooo many Christians that do bad things and cheat on their spouses. Personally i've seen plenty of cases in which even priests have been involved in say child pornography, molestation etc.

Answer 7

Based on the evidence ( that is nil ), atheists believe that a god or gods do not exist. Therefore they do not reject him, because if he does not exist how can they reject him.

If he does not exist then it follows that god is not offering eternal life and forgiveness.

Being an atheist simply means non-belief in god that is all.

Answer 8

i am a muslim. i used to be a christian and i can say many atheists do not believe in god from the actions of their fellow man. there was this one man who told me what kind of god would allow his homeless friend to be beaten to death while sleeping on a park bench. according to him this man was a very nice person. would'nt hurt even a fly. secondly when you see people getting blown up day after day and this religion preaching they are right and they should kill because of such and such reason it makes athiests wonder what kind of god would allow such evil people to walk the earth. when i was a christian i almost became an athiests. finding so many contradictions with in the bible as well as the torah. remember all the things in the bible that state that god commands in a time of war to slaughter men, women, children, animals, even destroy the land. this to me was not the actions of a loving god. i could not comply with people saying they are murdering people in the name of god. especially innocent people. most people can not look out side the box and see thatpeople who claim to be religious but do horrid thing to their fellow man are hipocraitical tools of satan. so there for they reject faith. many people have no investigated science enough to see hat there is a religion that walks hand and hand with science. until the people of this earth start obeying god the way we all should and do moral deeds more and more people will avoid religion, avoid god. every one who is part of a religion who openly sins and makes trouble for others is a little bit responisible for those athiests. our actions are the representation to the world in what ones religion depicts for daily life. there is some food for though for you!

Answer 9

My conditions for believing in God do not include His giving me a really good offer. It's not a question of "wanting to receive" anything. We don't BELIEVE there's anything being offered, because we don't believe there IS a God.

Answer 10

If I told you my invisible friend Jeff was offering eternal life, would you life your life by the terms of his guidebook? Probably not. Why? Because even though the offer is nice and appealing, you don't believe it will happen and seriously doubt the existence of Jeff himself.

Also, the existence of an omniscient god who requires us to beg forgiveness for a sin we were born with (i.e. one that he created us with) makes no sense. The fact that he would also have us not only forgive but love all who have wronged us even if they do not attempt to reconcile only compounds the riddle.

Answer 11

There's a distinction to be made between believing in God and rejecting him, and simply not believing in him at all, which would therefore not be rejection, just a choice not to believe in him.
There is a difference.

If such a God created this world, and if we, like most of us believe, have freewill, then wouldn't it be a part of God's plan to have people who did not believe in him? What would it be like if everyone believed the same thing? No difference of opinion, no discussion, no thought process, just everyone the same?
We need people that believe in God, and we need people that don't. People have a choice, and their choice is their own, one that God, if he exists, has already given to them.
