Why should I believe in God?

Question

To whoever posted about how hot hell is. Even if I did go there after I die (I'm not because it doesn't exist) but I'll be okay because I will leave my physical body behind, along with all nerves and pain receptors.

Also to whoever provided the Pascal's Wager argument that is dumb because God will see through it in a second and also I would feel better about myself if I used logic to not believe in something rather than fear to believe in it.

Also saying that I will feel better about myself is not a rational argument.

Answer 1

You musnt... Otherwise people will call you primitive mammal or something like that...

Answer 2

Because without Him your life doesn't mean too much. With Him you will never be alone. He'll be closer than a child, husband,wife, or good friend. To know that He will never leave you nor forsake you is a good feeling. To be able to turn to Him with ALL your hurts and problems, know He understands and loves you,and forgives you when you're weak(if you ask and pray) and have the assurance that you won't BURN IN HELL is a feeling that can't be explained. You have to experience it and it feels GOOD I assure you.

Answer 3

Why even ask that question here? Only you can determine what you will believe or not.

I can give you reasons but they would be own reasons for believing in God.

I could also give you many reasons from our bible but that too would require a spark of belief.

I can give you reasons by my actions but we don't really hang out.

Not being you I couldn't give you specific reasons.

The only thing I can tell you is to believe because I believe. That is the only 'real' answer anyone can give you.

Answer 4

You don't have to believe in the image of God, painted by most traditional religions. You can paint, your own picture of God, that works for you. Being connected with the spiritual is the most important, so as to be able to mobilize the vast resources deep within yourself. Meditate/prayer, do mind-body exercises and eat well, and you will get stronger spiritually. And if you contribute positively to this world, any good and moral God, would like this.

Answer 5

No one is forcing you.
If you die, don't expect its the end. But your spirit will be alive. And when you find yourself in the lake of fire....don't scream, but just relax, trying to think you are in a sauna but with a little more heat then expected...say around...couple 100 degs, enough to melt your eyes off the sockets......and please remember us, who cared and tried to tell you that their is life after death. There is a place called Heaven, where our FATHER has a mansion, with many rooms, with cool breeze and a window overlooking the beauty of HIS creation.....we will be relaxing there....give us a call too...
But you ignore us thinking all Christians are delusional and Atheists are right. Remember many Christians have warned you.
So at last....it is your choice, embrace Jesus or.....read the above once again

Answer 6

Believe in whatever the hell you want. If there's no god, you got nothing to loose. If there is a god, he/she/it didn't create us to walk around worshiping it all day.
Go out and live your lives people! Too much time is wasted worshiping God, when we should be trying to make our world a better place!

Answer 7

That is up to you to decide. Scientifically speaking religion provides a structure to hold society stable and productive. religiously it depends in Christianity it's for redemption of the soul for eternal life

Answer 8

because there is evidence all around you to his existence.
Because he is your creator and he wants to offer you this amazing gift of love and salvation.
Because he became incarnate in an empty body and died for our sins because we needed someone to pay the price for us, he paid the bill that we couldn't pay.
And now, if we just accept it, we can live without the burden of sin, without death, we will die, our bodies will, but our spirits will go to be with him in heaven.

There is proof to the existence of God, to his 6 day creation, to his worldwide flood, to his incarnation in a human body (previously uninhabited and made by himself specially for himself) proof to his life and death on the cross, proof to his miricles, and more...

Answer 9

You should'nt, you should question all things. You should question the belief in God but if you are willing to do that then you must be able to question your non-beliefs, be able to question your perspective. Eliminate your view point if you want to see the truth, close your eyes to see the truth. Sounds strange but true.

Answer 10

Let me ask you this, sugar: Do you REALLY want to find out the hard way that hell does exist? Do you really want your body to burn in eternity?
God loves you, and so do I! Please consider that believing in God is worth it, and don't find out the hard way because when Judgement Day comes, or if you're still here when the world comes to an end, He's not going to spare you your life because you chose not to believe in Him.
And to believe in God, make sure you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, for HE is the way to eternal life. Jesus is the Son of God. Read the Bible, and let God be in control of your life instead of you playing God with your own life. It may not be easy at first for someone who's used to their own way of doing things, but you'll get used to it!

Answer 11

You're too broad. Most people will say something to the effect, "Because Jesus loves you!" A better question would be, "Is there any unequivocal evidence for the existance of god?"
