God!!!!!!!?

Question

Why do people have such a hard time believing that there is a God???

Answer 1

bc the devil lives to them. Tells them there is no God. I believe in God I no he is real, it is like wind u can feel it but u cant see it and u just no it is there.

Answer 2

Lack of proof would be one reason. Needing to set aside all critical and logical processes would be another. That's leaving the Bible out of the entire equation. Now, if you add the Bible, where do I start? At the beginning, with Genesis? You know, Genesis, which is picked to pieces by the fossil record and archaeology?

Why do people have such a hard time believing that there is NO God?

Answer 3

Like everyone else is saying, some people need proof. They are never going to get it through paleontology, archeology, geology, or cosmology. Some people want the concrete. They are not afraid of becoming nothing after they die.

The only way any one comes to belief if they are not weak minded is through personal experience. I once was on the "bible is not literal" side bordering on a universe without a god, but life after death. I kind of adopted a zen-bhuddist sort of thing.

Extraordinary (even if it's not spelled right) things happened to me over my life. First supernatural, then spiritual. The logical mind dismisses them and puts up a shield to that sort of thing. I had mine taken down through repeated experience. The only way to convince someone that this happened is if they know you and trust you and start to believe what happened to you. I understand this to be called testimony to Christians.

Atheists want to be left alone with their evidence only. Seeing is believing only works if you're not so mired and begrudged to accept that the world is more than what it seems.

No debate is ever going to explain this. Debate of this sort is futile. That's why people have a hard time believing in God. It's like trying to tell some one that you were obducted by aliens. Only they find that more plausible.

Answer 4

Evidence, most likely.

Why do so many people have such a hard time understanding that not everyone thinks the way that they do?

Answer 5

People have a hard time believing in what they can't see, especially when there is no much hatred and war in the world. They feel if there is a God, why is he letting this happen and why do so many innocent people die. It is all a matter of faith. You can't see air, but you are told to believe that you need it to live. Like I said...it's all about faith.

Answer 6

Lack of proof.

Why is it hard to understand that they don't believe that for which they have received no proof?

ME? I don't believe in God. I know God exists from an experience I had when I was seventeen. At the same time, I'm not religious.

I have this strange condition. I understand both sides.

Answer 7

Why do you call that a hard time? I do not believe in any god but I don't experience that as a hard time. I would have a hard time if I had to swallow all the religious mumbo-jumbo people have written over time. I'm glad that today's society is enlightened enough to allow people to use their own brain.

Answer 8

Lack of evidence for God or God/Goddess (es). So many versions with people insisting theirs is correct. Evidence that actually makes it unlikely. If everything needs a creator who created God? Or do you just opt God out of your logic. Saying life is proof is like people who said lightening was proof of Zeus before they knew how storms were produced. Its making up a story for what you don't understand--its not proof of anything.

Answer 9

Why do you have such a hard time believing there isn't?

Answer 10

It is the absence of evidence, verifiable evidence, that confuses them. They just can't seem to make up their minds to accept that magic is real.

There is a god. Marduk, the Sky God, who killed the god Kingu and mingled his blood with earth, thus creating humans.

Or was that the Sun God, Ra, who journeys to the underworld every night?

Or perhaps it was Thor, the Thunder God. Or Zeus.

I can't remember.
