why is it that every thing we do feels so good , and why is it that we continue to choose to reject GOD?

Question

why is it that we continully reject GODwhen all HE wants to do is love and protect us also he sent his only son to die and take on our wrath for the world

Answer 1

I once rejected Him, for months, years, because I deeply thought that he had forsaken me, or that he hated me, for allowing me to feel all this pain and to get so hurt. But when someone made me realize that all this time He had been close to me, and that he will never let me down, I know I can go fearless, because he is with me and protects me whatevers happens!

Answer 2

There is no cosmic daddy-in-the-sky who 'feels' your rejection or wants to love and protect you from your 'wrath' for the world. You have a long spiritual journey ahead of you, for there is a good deal more depth to Jesus message than you imagine. His example of ego-death and resurrection of the authentic (Christ) Self, requires that you give up EVERYTHING you have been programmed to 'believe' is true about yourself and reboot your true nature.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to reject God - the multi-dimensional field of reality in which you are embedded, that is responsive to consciousness. It is neutral and merely mirrors your learned beliefs about self and the world. You literally live by (what you have) faith in.

You're capable of more than this kind of trite inquiry, because you're HUMAN and as Jesus asserted, you ALL are sons of god. When you understand what that means, you'll stop wasting your power and start making a REAL difference in the world around you.

Answer 3

Wow, what a completely biased view. Maybe if you opened your eyes to the tragedies that occur EVERY DAY in the world, you'd be a little more understanding fof how people can reject the idea of god.

And god clearly wants to do more than love and protect us, he wants to punish us and kill us once in a while as well. read your OT.

Answer 4

I never reject God I talk to him every day..and I pray to him and I thank him he walks beside me.........all I have to do is call his name and he is near.............
I have love peace and just like many my life has not been easy but because he walks with my I can do anything for myself and the people I am and will come into contact with..........talk to God a little each day get the book God calling by AJ Russell you can read something everyday to bring you closer to God with everything you do you just have to be aware................for now and all eternity :)))

Answer 5

Because god is a myth, and Jesus more than likely never existed. Why do you reject Allah, Vishnu, Thor and the Flying Spaghetti Monster? The same reason you don't believe in them is why I don't believe in the Christian God.

Answer 6

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?

No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:

"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188

Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.

The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.

The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.

But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?

All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.

Answer 7

This is the philosophy section. Philosophy is about thinking for yourself, why not ask this in the religion and spirituality section?

Answer 8

until we find out why and how we were put on this earth, feeling good is the only logical reason to exist.
