Question

five reason why you don't believe in god?
i just can't understand why people just can't believe. one day you will find out that god is real and that jesus came to die for you.( just five)

Answer 1

This is a good idea for a prayer list! I believe in God with all my heart. And hopefully someday, everyone else on here will too! And I hope it's before the Rapture so they don't have to live thru the 7 years before Christ's second coming!

Answer 2

I bet you regret asking this question?
There are actually too many reasons to list, but here are 5 good ones.
1. Religions exist because some people want there to be an afterlife so badly that they will believe in heaven and gods if some persuasive person promises it to them.
2. People feel comforted when they are told that their dearly departed loved ones are in a better place, and watching over them. Gullible people start believing in the afterlife tales, and voila! God belief.
3. Supernatural deities cannot just poof into existence.
4. Everything that humans have ever seen have natural explanations. No need for the supernatural.
5. All geological, biological, archaeological, and astronomical evidence contradicts the Bible.

Just 1 more for good measure.
6. People that are inclined to join religions, invariably join the one that is in their area or part of the world. They are sure that theirs is the one true version of God. Incredibly silly don't you think?

Answer 3

1. Don't want to (the very idea that life is a test, me and all my family will go to hell for being non-Christians, that millions of perfectly good people go to hell for trivial reasons, eternity would get boring, and God sounds like a silly tyrant who would and could destroy his creations the moment he was unhappy)
2. Don't need to (I'm completely happy, and as already stated, happier than I would be if I did believe in God. I'm also not scared of death.)
3. I don't care enough (Who cares what happens when I'm dead? I certainly don't. Any life after I've already fulfilled my life would be pointless)
4. Praying, church-going, confessing, etc. are all a waste of time (precious time that I could use to do school work, make money, and enjoy the life I'm living now instead of preparing for life after I'm already dead).
5. Logic and critical thinking. (Com'on...who really believes that Noah could've fit the thousands of species of animals, times two, on a wooden boat that he constructed by hand? Or that dinosaurs didn't exist millions of years ago...? Or that there's some mysterious higher power "watching over us" like some old creep?)

One more reason is that I haven't been taught Christianity from the beginning...my parents let me choose on my own. So while I was religious at first, I began to look at Christianity from a critical angle. People like you are often raised as Christians and to never doubt. It's practically programmed into your brains: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. People like me took a step back and said, "Wait a moment, none of this makes sense."

Oh, and it's not as if God reveals himself in any way, shape or form, and nor does the devil. So until they decide to show themselves and quit relying on blind faith to a nation that is growing scientifically and rationally, believing less and less in the supernatural, I'm going to keep on being an atheist.

Answer 4

Psalm 14:1 and 53:1 says the fool has said "in his heart" there is no God. It's not that they observe the world around them and make the objective, empiracle conclusion that "wow, isn't it amazing based on the scientific laws, human experience, archaeological evidence, fossil records, historical documents, etc. that on one Tuesday afternoon something popped out of nothing, being came out of non being, life sprung from non-life." To believe that requires more faith than any Christian who ever has lived.
The non believer doesn't believe in God for the plain simple reason, he doesn't want to. Jonathan Edwards said, man hates God's sovereignty because he wants to be in control, God's holiness because he wants to be unholy, God's omniscience because he doesn't want anybody knowing more than him and God's immutablity because He will never change His mind. Man does not want to be accountable to God and face His final judgment. Praise God He sent His Son to be our Mediator and die on the cross to save any sinner who will come to Him in repentance and faith. He death and resurrection was not in a corner where nobody could see, it was out in the open for all to see. The Christian has eyewitness testimony based on people who saw Christ before He died and after He rose again when they were not looking for resurrections. The resurrection accounts were independent of each other so there could not be any corroboration between these people to drum up a resurrection account. Also, there would not have died a martyrs death for a fabricated story. People will die for a lie believing it is true, but not for something they know is a lie.

Answer 5

I think your confusing belief in "God" with Christianity.
There are many paths to God

"IF" I didn't believe in a Christian God these would be the reasons:

(1-3) The murder, torture and starvation of people worldwide sanctioned by a "Christians " and nations they represent, throughout History.

(4-5) The intolerance and lack of acceptance of animals as sentiant beings.

Answer 6

1) The existence of thousands of other religions (if Christianity is the correct religion, why do we even have things like Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Daoism?)
2) The fact that prayer doesn't work.
3) Where did God come from? It's a key, yet unanswerable question.
4) The concept of hell. Eternal punishment isn't a punishment at all; it's torture. It can't possibly exist.
5) Lack of evidence in general.

Answer 7

i do not think the question should be why we do not believe in god. but the reasons why you do.

has your life ever been directly affected by god in a way that you could say for certain "oh yes, god did that, thank you lord"?

have you ever seen god?

have you ever touched god?

how can you account for all of the old testament stories being proven as rubbish by scientific discovery?

do you not see that it is easier for us to be non believers than it is for you to be a believer. you are just believing what others have told you and not what you can see for yourself.
