if god is true, then why does it play with those who need solid proof of its existance. we have free will, choice, yes, but if it loved its creation would it not want everyone to be "saved". so if i dont believe that i am here because of god, i am evil? i have to love it and embrace it, because it has the power to damn me. seems harsh, arrogant. i live a good life as i have said before, puting aside what IS moral and what isnt because after all who says what are good and bad morals, but my ethics tell me i am a good person. if god were true would he not want this for all his creation despite the level of belief. to live well and good. most people who are evil, know that they are. and i should be damned along with them because of my disbelief? (asuming that he were true)

u say u have free will. That's there because God didn't want to force u to love Him. He wanted u to love Him out of your own effort. No, ur not evil if you don't believe in God. Ur just lost in a sense that ur finding temporary solutions to fix a bigger problem: that u need Jesus, a Savior to direct, guide, and to provide for ur life. What defines good? Not this false definition we get from American society, giving to the poor, being polite to people, saying please and thank you. No, I can be kind and not be worthy of the Kingdom in God's eyes. God purposely doesn't force us to believe on Him. But He does ask us to choose life that we might have everlasting life in Christ. What do u have to lose?

1) no one NEEDS solid proof of anything, as proof is relative. non-believers say that life on earth is 2.5 billion years old, and it's true because scientists said so, and they're scientists, so they're incapable of error. believers trust in God and check for correlations with the Bible and nature and that's their proof.
2) you really think God likes being called an "it"?
3) there has to be a standard for good and evil otherwise there's no real good (and therefore no embodiement of it) and no evil. you don't make the standard for Heaven, you don't go. you don't make the standard for Hell, you don't go.

No...once again, you have free will and you choose not to believe in God. I have free will and I choose to believe through Faith. Faith cannot exist in an environment where only the proven fact is believed. You cannot blame God for the choices you make.
There will come a time when God will show himself I believe, not like many here say, but it will happen.

Let me get this straight, God is as real as real can be! And here's another fact, God loves YOU!!! God does love everyone, and wants everyone to be saved. Because His love is sooo strong, and powerful, He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross, to be tortured, ridiculed, mocked, beaten, whipped, pushed in the mud, all so that YOU could spend eternity in Heaven. But just because God did all of this doesnt mean you automatically get to Heaven. God has provided the way, and you must believe. Without belief, you will find yourself at Hell's gates when you die, and please dont let that happen to yourself. God loves you soo much, He wants you to be with Him for eternity!! Believe that Christ died for you, believe in God and His perfectness and power, believe that Jesus is the Son of God. You also have to accept the invitation the God has given you. Repent from your sins and ask God into your heart to take over and follow Him. This is hard, because we have a free will, that God has given us. I'll be praying that you will find it in your heart to believe and accept. God loves you more than words can say and more than our minds can comprehend. God made you and loves you!
\o/ Praise God!!! \o/

God does want you to be "saved", but you also have your own free will. You not believing in Him doesn't make you evil and I'm sure He doesn't see it that way. There will come a time, after you've left this world, when you will still have yet another chance... because He loves you. You aren't a bad person dude.

This question has been answered over and over again. Do a search or something. God said what He needed to say long ago and now works behind the scenes only. This is not deceptive. I'm not going to show up at your front door to prove I'm real, does that make me a liar too?

Who do you think you are kidding? You hate God so much you can't even bring yourself to refer to Him as a person. Your hatred damns you. You have taken that choice away from Him. Your arrogance is repulsive. Why would God want your kind around?

Where did your good morals and ethics come from? Being good would be a good work. But it isn't works that save, but belief in Jesus.
