Tell me why you do not believe in God?

Question

I would like to know why you do not believe in God and what do you believe. I am asking kindly because I want to understands what makes you think this? Thanks

Answer 1

Ok, you asked for it :P I have come to the conclusion that what all religions have in common is the concept of Ultimate Pardoner - or to put it bluntly: we sin, we seek pardon from God. Then the concept of prayer. Don't get me wrong, I so beleive in spreading the positive energy to the rest of the world, but I just don't beleive in tossing my problems in God's direction and letting Him deal with with my baggage.

So I decided to grow as a person and wash my dirty laundry myself. The only forgiveness I need is the one I'm to give myself. After all, it's me who has to live with my actions and my past.

One other thing. I beleive that humans are in general very selfish beings who can't face the brutal truth - mortality. We die and that's it. It's only selfish to wish to live eternally and I refuse to be a selfish being. Only thing that will outlive me is the legacy I leave once I'm gone.

Cheers! :)

P.S. Notice that even though I'm an atheist, I still spell God with a capital letter, out of respect for those who beleive in such.

Answer 2

I don't believe in God because a theory of God doesn't answer any questions about anything. A book says God created everything. Fine, but can this be proven? It's just an assertion, which makes it no better of an explanation than saying two gods made everything, or saying that everything is just a computer simulation. Most religions claim exclusive knowledge of the truth. The sacred text of any religion is generally believed to be divinely inspired, and free of error. However, there are things in every sacred text that are simply untrue and which contradict other parts within the same text. With no way of knowing which parts are true and which are not, and the contention is that ALL parts are true, you may simply dismiss the entire thing with impunity.

It follows, from logic:
This book is without error and, as such, is the ultimate source of truth.
The same book contains many errors and inconsistencies.
Therefore, the book cannot be the ultimate source of truth.

Also, there is the simple circular logic of the believer:
This book is correct because it says it is correct.
I believe it is correct because I have faith.

Unconvincing, to put it mildly.

Answer 3

I am under the impression that you are talkin about the Abrahamic God of the Old Testament.

You are atheist too did you know that? Zeus, Thor, Brahma, Vishnu, you dont believe in them ... i just like to go one god further.

There are thousands of religions in the world. And the World is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction x a trillion of the universe. To say that you have it all figured and are going to a wonderful magical fairy world when you die is VERY arrogant.

Take a Biology class or read a biology book. Why is it that some of the smartest people in the world do not believe in a personal god?

I challenege you to research how the Bible actually came to its final form, it will blow your mind how many times its been translated, changed, and messed with.


Now. I can't say that "God" doesnt exist, but you can't say that my imaginary friend Vernon doesnt exist.... but you can think logically and you know that it is impossible for me to have an invisible friend ... and i do the same for you. ...

Now on the other hand, i do believe in hope, love, the will to live, political liberties, and most important faith in my human being

Answer 4

There are THOUSANDS of gods you do not believe in. Why is that?

The only one you think is real is the one your parents told you was real.


Nobody has ever provided any evidence that 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.

Answer 5

There are three possibilities regarding God.

1) God doesn't exist. Therefore, it would be a mistake to worship him.

2) God does exist, but is immoral. An immoral deity should not be worshiped. Therefore, it would be a mistake to worship him.

3) God does exist and is moral. A moral deity would not want to be worshiped. Therefore, it would be a mistake to worship him.

All three possibilities lead to the same conclusion. The existence of God is irrelevant and worshiping him is a mistake.

I don't make it a point to believe in things which are irrelevant.

Answer 6

There is no evidence for God's existence. God was created by man to explain things he could not understand.

Humanity has worshiped thousands of gods over the centuries. Why should I believe in one of them and not believe in the rest?

Answer 7

Why don't I believe in God? I find it funny that people think the only way to explain the creation of the universe is by saying that a complex God (who didn't need to be created) made everything. I find it even funnier that people think this God exists 'outside of time and space,' when logically nothing could exist outside of time and space. Even if it could, it wouldn't be able to interact with things in time and space. But the funniest thing is, people think an omniscient deity needs to "test" their faith and morality.

Answer 8

The same reason you do not believe in Zeus, Ra, Ganesh, Xenu or the Flying Spaghetti Monster - there's nothing to suggest any god is anything more than a figment of human imagination.

There's a great - and very appropriate - quote from Stephen F. Roberts: "When you understand why you reject all other gods you will understand why I reject yours.”

Answer 9

Read what Freud said . Read what Albert Einstein said .Read what Buddha said 550 BC. Read confucius 220BC. Study Ra and Horus And Mithras And Baghavad Gita.Read what Richard Dawkins had to say . Look around study the world and life and then read you up on comparative religion and the history of superstitious beliefs that evolved into the present ideologies . then take several years to contemplate what you have learned . this should scratch the surface . Now do it again on your own.
