Are some people ashamed of the gospel, and afraid of what others will think? Is it they just can't stand to be laughed at or lose the acceptance of who they are with? What is it people don't want to lose to follow Jesus???? I would rather have Jesus and not lose his friendship....

Is it PRIDE that keeps you from believing in Evolution? It's a matter of choice. I choose to believe in knowledge and theory rather than a book written thousands of years ago when society called for a religion. I understand that religions are created based out of the fear of the unknown, however in today's world the unknown is shrinking. So, why waste my time with an outdated myth?
Judging those who don't agree with you is a sin according to your texts, so watch what to say/think.

Over-generalizing is a logical fallacy, and I point out that you are doing it here, as respectfully as possible. I cannot speak for everyone, and you cannot either. Logic is what causes me to see that all gods are imaginary. The Bible is filled with glaring contradictions and scientific errors. I began to see that at age 7. Mom's father was a Baptist pastor, so I read the Bible very day and knew it well, since I began reading at age 2. When I began school, I corrected my teachers often, and I saw Grandfather was wrong about religion. I did not tell him. He died when I was age 6, but I told Dad that I no longer believed in God at age 11. I studied the major world religions, so I see all are wrong. Why don't you believe in Allah, Brahma, Yu Ti, Ahuramazda, Zeus, Odin, Marduk, etc.? They are just as real as Moses' deity Yahweh.

Jesus the Nazarene, the human being, has been dead for nearly 2000 years and there is nothing out there that empirically proves that he was divine in any way shape or form. Human beings are my equals not my masters.

pride has nothing to do with the fact that we do not believe in something for which there is no evidence.

Or it could be an unwillingness to humble oneself.
