what do people that believe in god think about those who dont? ex) my aunt was talking to my young cousin and said that god works in mysterious ways. well what if a miracle of some sort happens to a non believer? who is doing that work or responsible for it? or is it just a coincidence?
AND
if god loves everyone, then will those who do not believe die pr be saved when its all over (or however the bible says we are going to die)
(just a kid thats curious)

Hello,
A true Christian will not think (nor should) any less of the nonbeliever than themselves, but try and help the non believer understand the Love and Grace of the Lord.
A 'miracle' happening to a no believer is no different than if it were to happen to a believer. If it were a true miracle, it would be coming from the ONLY one capable of making it happen. Why would it? No one knows the wisdom or purpose of God's doings. How can you understand the one who created you?life itself? Know only what the scriptres say;
“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10
For the non believer who dies, WILL be given a chance to believe, if they choice not to, then the scriptures are clear, they will spend and eternity in hell.
If it can help, visit http://godisareality.com and ask your questions ( don't leave out the 'a' in godisareality or you'll get a weird site)
God Bless

Answers...
1) a miracle is a miracle because of who does it...not who reaps the benefit...so it's entirely possible for a non-believer to have a miracle happen to them. They probably won't attribute the event to a higher power, but a believer will.
2) Believing God loves everyone isn't the same as believing everyone will be saved. If you believe what the Bible says - everyone makes their own choice and the consequences of chosing to believe or not believe are laid out pretty clearly. God loves the unbeliever as much as the believer - if not more so.

Then there, you just answered your own question -- you said your aunt said that God works in mysterious ways, and you're asking, who is responsible for the miracle-Well God is! You've heard the saying, "You can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved", well it's the same way with God, he isn't going to "make" someone ask him into their heart and live for him, they have to do it themselves.

Well I as a believer respect non believers opinion totally.Its a personal choice and I have my own views on god I do not follow any religion in particular ,though I am born a roman catolic.
Second,
I believe if you are truly a good person you will be saved and if you are evil you wont.How could god condemn somebody because he didnt know if he existed

If someone does not believe in God,they are lost to him
until they repent and get saved,and if they die and don't
believe they will go to Hell,it,s to late then.

Jesus said to Nicodemus you must be born again. To be saved you must ask Jesus into your heart if you do not then it is your choice if you want to go to hell or not. It is said how can you escape if you neglect so great a salvation. God bless

1) It is God or whomever they may believe God to be. Just because you may not believe dosen't mean that he feels the same, because he does love, and that love is unconditional.
2) That is for those who do not believe that Jesus died for their sins in Chrisianity. Personally if one of my child died after suffering like that for your sins, and you didn't have the curtesy to acknowledge it I would be upset, but you don't have to go to hell. You end up in purgatory.

God loves everyone, you are right. It is up to us to accept him and love him back. If you believe in him then you are saved.
