Answer 1

First of all before i say anything i will have to congratulate you, because many of the people believe in relegion blindly just because of their parents. You are depending on what your mind tells you, so thats good. Well let me ask you a few questions. Just say i bring a machinary in front of you that no one has ever seen before and i ask you who knows the function of this machine. You would obviously say the manufacturer or the maker or the creator or the inventor etc. So how do you think the world came out, or the universe and all the nature. If it just came out of no where how can it be so perfect. Okay moving on, the study of embryology right now has just been discovered recently that is about a hundred years ago. But who do you think told about the development of an embryo before 1400 years ago in the Holy Qura'an, obviously the Creator (GOD). Next point, it was only before like 500 years or so people started to admit that the world is spherical in size but then the Quran said this 1400 years ago. Who do you think would have said this, obviously the Creator(GOD). My next point, it was only a few years ago that science told us that the sun rotates on its own axis, but Allah said this in the Holy Quran 1400 years ago in chapter 21 verse 33 ( you can confirm it by referring to the Quran). It was only recently that science says that mountains prevent the Earth from shaking but my Creator, Allah said this 1400 years ago in Chapter 78 Verse 6 and 7. And another point, science only recently found that the universe is expanding but Allah said this in the Quran before 1400 years ago in chapter 51 verse 47. Hope i have proved enough about the existence of God. Im not an expert in Islam, but there are people with better knowledge than me and all ill say is Islam is the true relegion and hope to see you as another brother or sister in Islam. You can watch the video of this expert speaker which might make you a bit more confident and reading the Quran would clarify all your doubts im sure. If you have time watch both these videos-

Answer 2

I do not subscribe to the notion of "God" for a few reasons. Most prominent is the stupidity of the idea that somehow a being of endless knowledge and power would be in any way like us puny limited mortals. The "God" portrayed in the bible is power hungry, selfish, demanding and cruel. Since I feel I am above such behaviours, like burning whole cities of people for what I feel are transgressions, I would assume "God" must also be. In addition, I do not believe in God for the same reason I don't believe in little bulbous headed grey aliens with big anime eyes. Until there is direct evidence of something, it is nothing more than theory. This is good scientific method, and said method is responsible for the machinery we are using to communicate. I say go with what works. In short, while the "God" myth may serve a purpose to a point, it's efficacy as a means of social control is dwindling and I feel no need to participate.

Answer 3

Here's what I think. First of all we can't agree on a definition for god. I may think god is in all things. I may think there are many gods, those that control the seas, the weather, good fortune, etc. I could think that we are god, that we are the point of the whole universe becoming self-aware. All of those things are just that - thoughts. They have no bearing on how trees grow in the forest or the depth of a cat's eyes. People used to think the entire heavens orbited around the Earth. Not much has changed, people still think too much of themselves. They think so much of themselves that whatever god they imagine to exist has human characteristics. He gets angry, jealous, murderous, kind, loving, all knowing, you name it, he's got it. Oh, and he's a "he." I find all this laughable, but it is not funny. People all over the world suffer because other people would have them believe as they do, and if they don't, they could be killed, as they are in Islamic countries for renouncing their faith. Not too long ago the Church was burning people alive and torturing them in the name of god, or because they feared another mythical construct: Satan. Even a lame psychologist could tell you that this is transference. People feel guilty because they have done bad things, but hey, it's not them, it's the devil. See how that works?

Silly, silly fools.

Answer 4

I'm not a athiest but an agnostic. I look for fact to prove things & while I do not find the hard fact to say God exists I do believe in a higher power. I can't believe I'm going to quote futurama here but "When God does something right... it's like he didn't do anything at all."

I believe that religion & science should have a middleground. Man was made from the earth, so why not 2 amino acids seeped out of the ground & combined to make the 1st protien that eventually evolve into man. Man was't literally carved from the earth but where did the acids come from? God...

I choose not believe in an afterlife because I'm not sure I want to "live" forever. I'm pretty sure that I'd like to have my consciousness eventually stop.

But to answer your question I think athiests don't believe in God because they don't need or want to be comforted from the unknown by a "fairy-tale"

Answer 5

I am more of an agnostic than an athiest. However, I was raised Catholic since I was born and went to church ever week, so I know the Bible and I know Christianity.

Unlike many people who simply rely on "It's silly to believe in something with no evidence!" (which holds no grounds against a person of faith), I came to the conclusion sometime around middle school and high school that the Bible was not the word of a God.

The reasons being were not because I questioned God's motives or didn't agree with Christian morals. It was because of my own questions and analytical reasoning. I continually would find passages in the Bible that didn't add up. Things that contradicted other things, things that were the word of God, but modern Christians didn't abide by for some reason. Every new thing I learned from science, from texts or shows or my own observations, did not add up to the Bible's explanations. In time, story after story became impossible in my eyes, and rightfully so to anyone with deductive reasoning and knowledge of the world around us. Many parts of the Bible are believable and have nothing wrong with them, however, it is part after part of stories that contradict what we know about how the world and we as humans were shaped that ruined the Bible as a whole for me.

I thought, if this, this, and this are untrue, then this negates the entire Bible.

As I grew up and learned more about other world religions and history, it only reinforced my position on the bible. Seeing Christianity (in all its forms) relative to other world religions, how belief systems evolved and how many religions took ideas and stories from one another aided in shaping my disbelief further.

So, quite simply, you can say that science replaced christianity for me. But in actuality, it was everything - science, history, religion, personal observation, critical thinking - which shaped my current beliefs.

Do I believe the God of the Christian Bible exists? No, and no more than any other god(s) of other present or past religions. Do I believe that there is some unknown creator(s)
or beginning of the universe as we know it? Perhaps. I just don't know, and it would be silly of me to speculate on something so grand in which I have no way of proving or disproving.

At heart, I still base my morality on the lessons and teachings from Jesus and the Bible. I am a better person and live my life treating others as Jesus would want to. I just don't believe that he, or the God from the Bible, ever existed.

In the end, it is important to take in as much information as you possibly can and make your decision based on that. Knowledge is power, and when you stop asking questions, when you take everything for the way it is, is when you trully do not know what you believe in.

Answer 6

I was raised in church, But throughout the years I saw the order of things and how everyone is capable of everything, and if some person or group of people decided that these books were going to be the moral foundation or rule of thumb for religion. What was their intention? But I believe there is some higher power that I cant name.

Answer 7

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, Anubis, 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.

And there is a Check Spelling button in the top corner. That is almost unreadable.

Answer 8

I am an atheist. The reason I don't believe in god is the same reason I don't believe in anything that has no evidence for it's existance for example: mermaids, leprachauns, wizards, ghosts, goblins, dragons, unicorns, sorcerers, santa, the easter bunny, the tooth fairie, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow... need I go on?

Answer 9

Who cares... to be honest I would love to be a believer and be completely full of faith. Unfortunately I am not, and I have several reasons and ways I think about the subject, but it would not help for me to explain my reasons here, because to be truthful... when looking over the U.S., the religious people are the most comfortable and genuinely happy. Whoever disagrees with me needs to step back and look around next time, without theur smug face of "I'm cool because I am atheist... look at my cool Anarchist signs on my shoes and Pentagrams I drew on my notebook."

Answer 10

I don’t believe in god. I think the whole concept is illogical. If a kind benevolent god who does not want evil in the world and is all knowing and all seeing existed, whence does evil come?
