My reason for not believing in God is that He's not necessary. What's your reason for not believing?

Question

I know that reason, logic, lack of proof, lack of evidence, contradictions, etc. are possible reasons...

Answer 1

reason, logic, lack of proof, lack of evidence, contradictions, etc.

(oh, and he's also not necessary if you have courage.)

Answer 2

To be honest, I can't see how he loves everyone.

If he loves everyone or whatever, then why the heck does he support men being the dominant people? Why does he support them making woman into slaves?

It may not say it straight, but from all I've seen of the Christan faith... men are the superior beings on earth, even though woman are the living creators who carry more burdens than a man ever could, or will.

Plus, how many thousands of people have died and killed for him? It's sad, and I wouldn't follow something that would ask for my mortal life just to show my allegiance to him.

I just see the religion from the outside though, but from the outside, it doesn't look so great.

Answer 3

I don't have a reason not to.

When I look in the mirror or just simply look at how my fingers type words and sentences that my eyes and brain focus on -- on my monitor, I say to myself, "Wow! Something so awesome and intelligent created me that I am able to have the sense of being to type, to read, to backspace, to mouse click, to have emotion, to bleed, to think for myself, to run a sound business, and the list goes on indefinitely".

So, I am not stupid or dumb enough (hahaha, look I even know the difference between dummies and intelligent ones...AMAZING!) to conclude that there is no God.

God is real and at Armageddon, you won't be able to take those words back. I look forward to Armageddon because I look forward to everlasting life, free of sin, free of sickness and ailing health, and free of fools---on a paradise, perfect earth.

Thank you, God..

The existence of God cannot be proven or disproved. The Bible even says that we must accept by faith the fact that God exists, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). If God so desired, He could simply appear and prove to the whole world that He exists. But if He did that, there would be no need for faith. "Then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed'” (John 20:29).
That does not mean, however, that there is not evidence of God’s existence. The Bible declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world” (Psalm 19:1-4). Looking at the stars, understanding the vastness of the universe, observing the wonders of nature, seeing the beauty of a sunset – all of these things point to a Creator God. If these were not enough, there is also evidence of God in our own hearts. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, “…He has also set eternity in the hearts of men…” There is something deep down in our beings that recognizes that there is something beyond this life and someone beyond this world. We can deny this knowledge intellectually, but God’s presence in us and through us is still there. Despite all of this, the Bible warns us that some will still deny God’s existence, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Psalm 14:1). Since over 98% of people throughout history, in all cultures, in all civilizations, on all continents believe in the existence of some kind of God – there must be something (or someone) causing this belief.
Another logical argument for God’s existence is called the cosmological argument. Every effect must have a cause. This universe and everything in it is an effect. There must be something that caused everything to come into existence. Ultimately, there must be something “un-caused” in order to cause everything else to come into existence. That “un-caused” something is God. A fourth argument is known as the moral argument. Every culture throughout history has had some form of law. Everyone has a sense of right and wrong. Murder, lying, stealing, and immorality are almost universally rejected. Where did this sense of right and wrong come from if not from a holy God?
Despite all of this, the Bible tells us that people will reject the clear and undeniable knowledge of God and instead believe a lie. Romans 1:25 declares, “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen.” The Bible also proclaims that people are without excuse for not believing in God, “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:20).
People claim to not believe in God because it is “not scientific” or “because there is no proof.” The true reason is that once people admit that there is a God, they also must realize that they are responsible to God and in need of forgiveness from God (Romans 3:23; 6:23). If God exists, then we are accountable for our actions to Him. If God does not exist, then we can do whatever we want without having to worry about God judging us. I believe that is why evolution is so strongly clung to by many in our society - to give people an alternative to believing in a Creator God. God exists and ultimately everyone knows that He exists. The very fact that some attempt so aggressively to disprove His existence is in fact an argument for His existence.

Answer 5

I used to be with you, but strangely enough the higher the science classes I took the more I saw the same thing.

People fudging results, large companies paying off scientists, lobby groups altering data... its all a scam.

If you truely want to know the truth you have to find it out for yourself. The problem with most people are they are too lazy and then get mad when someone lies to them. Whether it's science or religion if you don't look for yourself, you will be lied to. People want your money.

Don't come crying to me when it happens. I will just say... I told you so.

Answer 6

You do not believe because you do not have the capacity to believe. God has not given you the faith to believe. He allows you to remain in darkness, by His choice.
Not necessary? Hmm. okay, who has given you the air to breathe? That would be God.
And who keeps your lungs and heart working, day after day? That would be God.
And who keeps you brain semi-functioning normally? That would be God too.
Who provides the food for you to eat, the water to drink? God.
And who keeps the universe in order so the planets do not leave their orbits and crash into each other? That would be God also.

I don't mean to be nasty or critical, but you, son, are the one who is not necessary.

Answer 7

Complete lack of evidence and church is perhaps the most excruciating thing created by man

Answer 8

Not only not necessary but a detriment in numerous ways .
I have more trust in the ability of a properly educated person outside of the realm of delusion.

Answer 9

I chose not to believe in God because I was taught he was a mean, cranky old man who hated me. Why on earth would I want to "worship" that?

Now I tend to look into the "science" of god, in the form of metaphysics and all that "new spirituality" stuff.

Answer 10

like you said, reason, logic, lack of proof, lack of evidence, contradictions, etc.

I think a god is neccesary, very neccesary to those who are suffering

I dont believe it because its followers never want to hear anything against their religion, even though i am quite willing to hear theirs against atheism, this shows ignorance

[theoretical]
Honestly, If god is real, I would rather go to hell than accept him/her, the moral implications he/she emits akin him/her to satan
