I am infact a Christian, no I am not a hypocrite. I would like to ask all those who don't believe in God 1 question with 1 word..Why? I think it's terrible that God made you and without Him you wouldn't even be here, and you still turn on him. It's..Shocking.

Since everyone is having a heart attack about 'shocking' let's put it to odd.

To a Christian that studies bible truths this should not be shocking. You should be grateful that you have had this revelation and should have mercy on those that have yet to experience it. The bible clearly explains why it is that this truth is hidden for some. It explains the war against God and the adversary for the soul of men. Those of us that have had this revelation, it is not because of how good we are, but because in his grace, God has revealed his son to us, like Jesus told Peter. So we should not wonder why it is that people do not believe, instead we should live our lives in a way that it reveals the love of Christ to others, so that they will come to Him. It isn't by what we dress, what we think, what we eat, what we say that the world will know that we are His followers. It is by the love we have for one another that they will know that we are indeed his disciples. We should be able to show this love onto the unbelievers, not only those that believe.

I do believe in a Supreme Being but I'm not shocked that others don't. People who believe differently than I do aren't a worry to me because I know God/Goddess has it all in hand. Besides, unbelievers aren't a new thing! They have been around longer than Christianity---Blessings.

(I'm Christian) Not everyone believes that god created them or that he even exist. Not everyone feels the same way as you, they are not bad people, they just don't believe. My question would be 1) Do you think global warming will kill us and if so what comes after death. 2) Can we stop society from extinction. I'm a Christian.

As a Christian my self , why do you find this shocking? God's Word say that there are people who will never believe.

I think it's terrible that instead of understanding how humans really got here, you believe some made up fairy tale.
Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist. People believe in specific gods because of indoctrination from an early age, tradition, hallucinations, fear of torture (for gods sadistic enough to threaten it) and other similarly illogical reasons. But no gods exist in reality; these are all stories, created for people who were scared of the world long before we understood it. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

In the case of atheism. The creation denies the Creator. I have never meet a true atheist. Out of all the atheist I have spoken too and been friends with, none could ever give a solid reason for their beliefs. Or should I say, disbelief. All the atheist I have spoken too deny God because of moral reasons, never because of a true, concrete scientific reason. This is ironic b/c they use their science the most for promoting atheism, look at Brian Sapient.

GEG gives us a good example: a decent, just loving god would not have to scare people into joining the club. nor would he/she/it reward followers for being smug.
I choose a decent, just loving world-view; the Judeo-Christian god is incompatible with my perceptions of divinity and the universe.

Are you like, very brand new, or a troll?
If you're very new then trust me the easy questions have all been asked, this one has even been asked enough that people drink to it when it's asked.
If you're a troll then come on already.
May God illuminate you with his love.

It might be shocking to a Jesus freak like you, but it's simple common sense to me. Perhaps it's time you removed your empty head from your prodigious butt and joined the real world.

be careful what you write you might not be helping others to see Gods true nature
The person called GEG I believe is not a true Christian but wanting to make real Christians look bad I think he or she is pretending that really sucks I have never met any Christian who talks like that in real life
