Whay dont YOU believe in God?

Question

I want to hear from people who DONT believe in God, and I want to know why.

Answer 1

Most of these answers sound like an echo of one another. Interesting...

Answer 2

I'm a scientific thinker. I need answers. There are answers to every question... some we may not have the mental ability to obtain, hand, undertsand or contemplate. I've always had a saying, even when I did believe in God. "God is the answer to the unanswerable". I truly believe that statement. When someone can't figure something out, it's "God's will". This is why earlier civilizations thought that there was a Sun God that brought the sun around the Earth. They didnt have the brain power to find out that we revolve around the Sun.

There was a man named Spinoza, who believed that the only "God" he could believe in, or religion he could believe in, is the beauty and perfectness of nature and natural law. I believe in Spinoza's "God". So did Einstein. Nature is everything. Life is love, love is life. We are a miniscule part of something so grand that it is near impossible for ME to believe that there is something that is all powerful, all lasting, omnipotent, supreme power, that looks after and cares about what I do.

Humans are so insignificant next to the size and importance of the universe. We are here for the ride...


Now I do believe in an afterlife. We are energy...luminous being are we...not just this crude matter. I believe that we will transform into the life force that surrounds us. The energy field that life forms and is a part of.

Now Jesus was a great man. He really did have the message. The golden rule truly is the golden rule... I treat everyone as nice as I can, how I would like to be treated. I'm a good person through and through... I think that is good enough.

Answer 3

Its not so much that I don't believe in god, is that it doesn't concern me whether he exists or not.

"I am a god unto myself, I will decide what is best for me"

I am a humanist. I choose to believe in human nature. God could have been made up to control people's thinking.

It was also probably made up because people generally need something larger than themselves to believe in. Well, most religious people anyway.

I do not feel a need to believe that an invisible diety is above me watching out for my safety. I'll take responsibility for my own actions and what will happen, will happen.

If a car pulls out in front of me and I slam on the brakes to stop from hitting them, it was not god who saved them, but my reflexes. Likewise, if I would not see a car coming and pulled out in front and got hit, I would blame my stupidity.

And as well, when I was a catholic, I asked questions and received no answers. So I decided I'd find my answers on my own. That was about 10 years ago, I'm 23 now.

Answer 4

If Whay doesn't believe in god that is Whay's business just be happy for Whay and let Whay believe the way Whay wants too. As for my self I don't believe in god because god makes no logical since.

Answer 5

as a results of fact faith comes from God, and He tells us that interior the top circumstances there could be a 'falling away'; whilst God will raise His restraint on sin, and end many to their own depraved desires in training for judgment. splendidly, this additionally coincides with a time whilst God is mercifully saving a 'large multitude which no guy can extensive type', and many this activity is occurring thoroughly exterior the church homes.

Answer 6

Like other answeres, there is no proof! I do believe in God, and get this, everyone who answeres this will probably have the word believe. Believe is a stronger form of think, i "think".
People believe different things, and that is perfectly fine! The reason we have different religions is because people believed different things, not the same thing! ~isa

Answer 7

it's very simple - there is no scientific evidence that any gods exist. I am an agnostic - I believe some things are beyond human knowledge and proving that a god exists or doesn't is one of them.

Also you say God as if you think there is one God. But there have been hundreds of thousands of gods in the history of man. But believers generally believe in one god. So ask yourself why you don't believe in Zeus, Odin, Ra, Vishnu or whatever and you'll have the answer to why I don't believe in your god.

Answer 8

There are a lot of old books that show that dragons, mermaids and unicorns are real.


Do you believe in dragons, mermaids and unicorns?

Why not?


Now apply the same logic to god.


NB. The absence of a current scientific explanation is not a reason to assume God Did It. There used to be a lack of a scientific explanation of lightning and thunder. People used to assume that it was god. Now we know better.

Answer 9

Which God? I assume you mean the Christian God.
Its not that I don't believe he exists. I believe all Gods exist. Its that I choose not to follow him. I can't in good conscious follow a God a that needs a blood sacrifice to love and forgive me, that floods the world out of a temper tantrum and demotes women from being sacred givers of life to the servants of man.
All of these things are stated in the bible so please don't tell me its not true.
I don't mind Christianity. I mind being told its the only truth out there. That I'm going to hell, that I'm evil. It gets old.

Answer 10

I'm Agnostic, I believe In A Creator I guess....... But I do Not Believe In The Bible and I kinda Believe in the big Bang theory. And In Scripture We learned that Jesus was A man But he Was Not every thing that the Bible Made him Up To Be.

Answer 11

I don't believe in the Christian god because, unlike my gods, he's never approached me, and from the way most Christians act, and what they say, they believe in him without ever having met him, which seems dumb to me.

Also, the Christian god is supposed to be the same god as the God of Moses, and if he didn't intercede during WWII, he either doesn't exist or has been lied about by his people (in which case he doesn't exist as described.)
