I know and believe in Jesus, but what we all seek is immortality. We don't want to die. People were concerned with their immortality 2000 years before Christ and thought that we could be immortal thought our children. The rabbit was revered because of its reproduction. You can believe anything, but read the following link for more information.

According to the psychologist, Robert J. Lifton, individual human beings understand immortality in several modes. 1 The first is the biological sense of living on in their offspring.

If just believing in Jesus is the end of the road for you, this will open your eyes and mind.

I believe that Jesus was a man. I have trouble believing that he was the Divine Son of God. Christians base their faith on what the Bible says. The New Testament was written hundreds of years after Jesus' life based on lore that had been passed down. Have you ever played a game of operator and seen how the message changes just going around in a circle well add 2000 years, Religious Politics in the Church and State, Several language changes, scandals, over ups and guess what happens.....Garbage in Garbage out. Why are Christians so insistant that everyone believe the way that they do.

This makes about as much sense as me asking Christians, why don't you believe in Zeus?

I don't believe because I have found no evidence that Christianity is the ONLY Way (actually, not even the Bible backs up that idea). I have found no evidence in the Bible that "in order to be saved, one must believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus"... Jesus NEVER says this... yet everyone claims to be following HIS teachings.

I believe the spirituality - the lessons within the Bible, such as how to treat other people and yourself, are valid teachings. I believe one can gain peace from reading certain parts of the Bible and may come to understand their own spirituality in the process. But as for why I don't believe as Christians do... it's because I study.

I just don't believe in Jesus, or the God of the bible.

There is nothing past your faith that constitutes proof for their existance. I don't have a problem with people being Christian (except those who use Christianity as a tool for spreading hatred and intolerance - like the recently deceased Jerry Falwell - good riddance).

If there is some kind of afterlife, and we are judged based on whether or not we got 'saved' - then I am content to go to hell rather than worship a God who would set up a system like that.

I personally do believe that Jesus existed, and he was a good man, who taught good lessons, and was murdered for teaching what he thought to be right.

I, however, do not believe he rose from the dead 3 days after being crucified, and that he is the son of God, and he'll come back again some day to take all his followers up to heaven with him.

And I'm like that because I prefer to think things through logically. And logic tells me that people don't return from the dead after three days, and logic also tells me that an all powerful deity who controls my destiny cannot possibly exist.

Because I'm Jewish. I believe that Jesus existed, but I do not believe he was the son of G-d. You believe what you do and I believe what I do. Is that okay with you?

You're a non-believer in thousands of different gods. Why are you like that? Yet you happen to accept one god as real - and it happens to be the same one your parents told you was real. What a coincidence?


Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

Well, I was the most devout little girl you would have ever seen. I went to church and Sunday school every Sunday morning and read the Bible every night. However, as I got older, I started having doubts and questions. I kept bringing up the nagging questions with my preacher or youth leader, but never received satisfying answers. I worried about what if I pick the wrong religion and land in someone else's hell? Finally, I realized that I couldn't force myself to believe in it anymore and I gave up trying. Now I call myself agnostic. I would love for someone to show me compelling evidence for God. Ever since I left church, I've been a happier person.

why are we like what?

why are we like, not believing in jesus? we never said we don't believe that jesus might have been a real person. we just don't believe, that if he did exist, he was the son of god because we don't believe in god.

i really didn't think it was that confusing...

Why do you believe in Jesus?

It's all about choice and personal truth. What is true for you is not true for everyone else. A person has to find their own path, it can not be chosen for them.
