why dont religious people spend more time proving that god does exist?

Question

they spend all there time telling us how to live and act, while not even trying to find out if this stuff is true or not?

Answer 1

I don't need to prove anything to anyone else. I don't need concrete proof, I have faith. Does the wind blow? How do you know? You can't see it but you know that it is there. It is my personal faith & it's up to individuals to find the truth in their life. Faith is believing in things not seen. My God does exist & I don't go around telling people how to live & act. Everyone will be judged on judgement day & we'll find exactly who is right or wrong.

Answer 2

Not all of them are, but many are. I personally had many discussions with Atheists and I believe I successfully proved to many of them scientifically that God exists.

Why do you think Dr. Antony Flew, the world renowned atheist became deist in 2004, after proclaiming at the age of 81 that there's overwhelming scientific evidence that God does exist?

I remember having a discussion with an atheist once, and used the law of probabilities to prove that God exists. After the evidence started getting stronger, he insulted me and walked away.

The lesson is; we should use scientific/logical thinking to prove that God exists, but sometimes it doesn't matter which approach you use because some people find it easier to believe that there is no God, so that they don't have to take responsibility for their actions, and not have to face the possibility that one day they will be judged!

<<15:14 Yet even had We opened to them a gateway to heaven and they had ascended, on and on, up to it,
15:15 they would surely have said, "It is only our eyes that are spellbound! Nay, we have been bewitched!,>>

Answer 3

What kind of proof do you want? The whole freaking universe is proof, but some don't believe that, so what in the world would "proof" consist of?

I am in seminary right now. (Seminary is schooling to become a pastor.) For you to say we don't research and study and debate about all aspects of Christianity is false. Thats all we do!

What proof do you need? How should I be trying to prove God to you, when the proof that is there isn't good enough?

Answer 4

Maybe they are smarter than we give them credit. Why would anyone waste time and money trying to prove the existence of god when you can just rave about it instead? Plus, there's no risk of failure by doing nothing.

It is fascinating that the religious rejection of science is esentially an admission that science proves that god doesn't exist.

Answer 5

I generally don't care if they do or don't. The only time it's an issue with me is when I'm asked to prove god does exist.

Answer 6

There is no need to prove that God exists. It is the inner part of the code that is not in the Public Domain and cannot be perceived. The code that operates at your level is not that important. Keep the faith. Take your blue pill.

Answer 7

Well hum it's the Holy Spirit that proves God exists. My job is to reach out, to love, to share the gospel. Why waste time on something that God himself will do. Come on Man you yourself know that if we worked and worked to prove something you don't believe in anyway we'd be the fools, and you would sit back and laugh. Nope no time for such games.

Answer 8

There is no sense in spending time proving that god exists . That's been going on since the stone age . No proof has ever been shown . Supernatural belief is superstition - - - proof is impossible .

Answer 9

The Truth of Catholic doctrine is just as true now as it was 2,000 years ago, no matter how badly it may be presented in our confusing times. Hang on to the Faith and never let hierarchs or bad presentations of the Faith keep you from Truth and the Sacraments.

Answer 10

1) I won't tell you how to live.
2) I won't tell you how to act.
3) God holds onto the proof. I have His Spirit living in me, as promised by Jesus at the end of John 15 and in the midst of John 16. That is the proof that He gave to me. Since He decided that some people will never know Him, they don't see any proof.

If you want the proof that I got, you have to trust God through Jesus Christ. He made it pretty simple. I trust what He says over what I think or what others tell me. That's how I do it.

If you want to know God, then He wants you. You cannot want to come to God unless He wants you to. You just have to trust what He says. Otherwise, you will not have proof.
