Because they are blind. Most people feel like they have to see it to believe it. NOT ME! I choose god over anything in my life!

I think that there are several reasons. But I think that the most important one for Christians to remember is the God Factor.
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts,
Exodus 4:21
The LORD said to Moses, "When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.
Matthew 13:13
This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
Jesus is God. Any Christian should be capable of exacting that from the scriptures. God never changes. And Jesus was but another example of how God works. He rewards faith, and condemns doubt.
So God is the reason why many do not come to Him. The desire is simply not there because God does not want them. Those that He wants and have not committed to Him, we must earnestly be open to, so that God can use us to bring them into the kingdom.
This God stuff is so cool. I am so grateful to Him for this monumentous gift of love that He brings to me, and to others.

You can't control it, It's all powerful, you can't argue with it, It's all knowing, you can't run away from it, it's omnipresent. You have absolutely no chance of understanding it and if you look upon it's face, if it has one, you will die. Meanwhile, those that claim to worship it are often seen to be contradictory and hypocritical such as 9/11. Muslim kills innocent people in terrorist attack, Christian country retaliates by attacking innocent country, Afghanistan, unrelated to 9/11.

Because just like Paul they are blinded. Until God removes those blinders and the Holy Spirit knocks on that hearts door they cannot see.

Maybe because the God that you offer is (according to its own Bible) nothing at all what its followers claim it to be (loving, merciful, all-powerful, etc...).
If God is, in fact, the egomaniacal, murderous tyrant that the Bible depicts him as, then it's no wonder that there are people who would reject it.

Which God are you talking about? Names please. If you are referring to the Christian god I have to ask why anyone would choose such an egotistical and jealous god to begin with?

I wouldn't. God is everything..if you don't have him you don't have anything...Some people aren't spiritually strong...which can be very bad not to believe in god or believe in saints or whatever but either way we shouldn't judge them...that's between that person and god...i just hope they realize before it's too late.

You need a God with spell check features.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
-Epicurus

Basic honesty.

Because 'god' is fictional. Children may believe in fictional entities, but adults should not.
