Okay kids something on a lighter note. Why do some think that God is imaginary?

Answer 1

im living proof God isn't imaginary.
and maybe ppl just dont want to believe that God is real

Answer 2

Ok, I don’t down on people and their religion, but when asked my opinion...first question to you is, who created god? This comes to that "what came first, the chicken or the egg question. If I told you I had flown to mars because I am superman, would you believe me if my story was in a book (the bible), no...You would want physical proof. Jesus was born due to Immaculate Conception; we all know that that is not possible. Jesus turned water into wine...well, David blane can levitate and also turn empty soda cans into unopened full ones...why isn’t David blane in some kind of religious book? Now realistically I cannot make a hypothesis based on my opinion without physical proof, BUT, some things are so obvious that you don’t need any, just a little bit of common sense. Do I see a need for religion? To a point yes. It seems to instill great morals in our children, but when does someone need to start putting an end to this fallacy? Is it when someone’s religion now prompts them to kill Americans? Is it when Shiites and Sunnis decide they are going to have a war until all of one side is dead? I think religion has been mis interpreted over the years and its starting to come back to hurt us more than have a moral benefit. It’s great to take lessons from a great book such as the bible which in my eyes was simply a great tale that took hundreds of years to write. It a completely different thing to worship a story book as if it were true, this is when people have really lost touch with reality. Now as farfetched as it seems to you Christians I have heard a theory that Jesus was a magician. Now at that time nobody had witnessed magic and also did not have the ability to see through it. Jesus may have been a great magician not far from the legend Houdini had left behind, but simply "Jesus" did not ever reveal the secrets because of the positive effect it had on society at that time and could not be responsible for knowingly reversing the positive effect he had made on the people of that time. now this as well as other theories is a little hard to swallow, but at the same time is a lot more realistic than all of the stories read in the bible and spread throughout any religion for that matter believed to be true with no scientific backing. on another note, the bible has been through two MAJOR revisions, in which governments or elements of power have taken away and added what they saw fit. Who knows what they took away and added we would probably be appalled. I personally due not see the truth in god or any religion for that matter, and I am not trying to sway your beliefs in any way, you simply asked me a question and I answered. I wish you the best and hope you live a long prosperous life, with or without religion.

Answer 3

I think some believe God is imaginary because there is no imperical data supporting him...no concrete proof of his existence. no one has actually proven to have seen him, and those who strongly rely on science to explain things have trouble believing in something they can't see. Like, gravity for instance, no one can see, but we can physically observe the effects gravity has on objects. Sure, people would say miracles are effects of God, but scientists would call those anomalies, or random occurances outcome of a series of events. So, in laymen's terms, some people have issues believing in something they cannot see/experience directly. Though, someone who defended Galileo almost 400 years ago said, "The Bible was written to show us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go," [basically, religion and science are two different things]

Answer 4

There is no evidence that there is a god. No evidence essentially means that someone made it up. It is not reasonable to believe in things without any evidence. You would be stuck with every ridiculous thing that human imagination could come up with.

Not believing in god is the same as not believing in Zeus, Odin, Santa, the Tooth Faerie, and all the thousands of others since the evidence is exactly the same. I would be no less surprised if someone found evidence of Bacchus than I would be if they found evidence of your god.

Answer 5

Hahaha, because they are smarter than you are. The entire idea of God only demeans the human race. honestly stop living in the past, God is out, science is in. Get with it.

Answer 6

because once they find out santa and the toothfairy are all imaginary they begin to think that everything we tell them to belive in is imaginary unless they see it with there own eyes.

Answer 7

Because they are blind to the truth...or they see teh truth and avoid it.
Many do want to believe in God because they think it is Fool and will not understand.
Some just dont want to believe if they do they will be subjected to his rules.
