As a believer in the one true God, who sent His son, Jesus Christ to rescue me from the penalty of my sins, it saddens my heart that so many intelligent people honestly do not believe in God. However, by His own admission, people cannot believe if God does not reveal Himself to them, and He will not reveal Himself to them (at least for now) if they do not desire His revelation. It's part of absolute love for mankind - he allows us to reject His revelation (but only after He makes it perfectly clear what will be the consequences of our rejection).
PRAYER: - God, help what I said in this feeble manner to break forth revelation knowledge to someone who will read this. In the strong name of your Son, Jesus - Amen!

I think it is more a matter of people rejecting religions and the unreasonable beliefs contained within their dogmas. The more educated a person is, the more likely they are to see religion as a tool to control the weak-minded. The conflicts that result from these different religious beliefs are now more dangerous to humanity than the benefit derived from believing that God is watching your every action. Did God create man or did man create God? You don't KNOW anything about God's existence, rather you choose to believe without any concrete proof. Your illogical stance deserves to be challenged because we live in a dangerous world and need to live with reason, not superstition.
I believe there is "something" beyond our existence, but trying to define it while in this realm of existence is an exercise in futility. We'll know when we die, but I'm sure the Bible and Koran are worthless. You don't need an ancient Hebrew book to teach you how to live a prosperous, ethical, loving, happy life!

Jesus was a delusional Jewish peasant that probably never even existed. The fact that billions of people have believed this fantasy over the years is a sad statement on people's willingness to believe anything.
We might as well have a religion based on Santa Claus because he has shown more evidence of existing than Jesus.
If there is a "god" then why are you safe and warm tonight and some kid in Darfur is dying of hunger or being slowly tortured to death by a sick sadistic child molester. There is no God. So "love" your little fantasy, what a waste of time

And I cant believe that there are people who are so blinded by faith that they believe there is a fictional parent figure looming over them in the sky. I always like this explanation, when a football team wins, many players thank god for the victory, yet the other team thanks god for giving them the opportunity to play. So.....is god an Ohio State fan or a Michigan fan???? What prayers did this so called god answer for you....did you get a job you were qualified for, or did your phone work when you ran out of gas...what? what i ask.

there is not any evidence for god. some days in the past 2 adult adult males went on an ABC communicate affirming that they could teach that there turned right into a god without utilising the bible. Their argument changed into: we opt for there to be a god. we do not realize technological knowledge. The bible say that there is a god. (A flagrant breach of their unique words) It changed into embarrassing, and that i'm an atheist. jointly, you are able to't in any respect disprove god. Being invisible and all-powerful god can consistently flow in such diffused techniques that he can do something without anybody noticing. in addition i am going to't disprove unicorns, dragons, mermaids, the easter bunny or fairies on the bottom of my backyard. that does no longer recommend that i trust in them regardless of the reality that. There are some data contained in the bible. The geography is there and may be considered. lots of the kings were independently confirmed. even if, once you look on the advent tale, the flood tale, exodus, the data aren't any further there to help them. in reality the flaws we may anticipate to ensure if those memories were actual are completely lacking. The bible is quite a number of separate books and memories, created over a lengthy time period span, written down my many diverse human beings. some memories are truly authentic, others are total fabrication. Aesop's fables are a fabrication, it does no longer recommend that they do no longer carry a message regardless of the reality that. For evaluation, look on the Odyssey and the Iliad, written by the Greek Homer. lots of the characters in those memories were shown to be actual. Troy is, and changed into, a actual position. that does no longer recommend that Zeus, Aphrodite, etc. stay wide awake on Mount Olympus regardless of the reality that. in case you opt for to trust in god, then please go ahead. yet do no longer imagine for a second that there is any evidence to help your faith, because there is none. you want to opt for in the journey that your faith is in accordance with a actual god, or what you've been informed is actual, or what you opt for to be actual. even if it truly is between the latter 2, then i could recommend that you attempt to opt for for your self what reality truly is, and base your existence round that reality fairly than your or somebody else's needs.

It's a strange thing isn't it? How some people mock God and always say he doesn't exist, but they're so helpful and intelligent in other ways. Just because people don't believe in God, doesn't make them bad people, as some people tend to think. Yet some people who don't believe in God have no standards and do whatever they want, resulting in trouble. I guess it makes them just as mad as it makes me when people say sick jokes and stupid things about God when someone says something about God being our creator.

It's called...get ready for this...an opinion.
Or a view.
Is disagreement with *your* beliefs automatically called anger? And possibly persecution, huh?
Seriously, lighten up, find some tolerance, ignore what you don't like or agree with in life, we'll all be a bit better off. Every person has the right to state their own views, like you do right here.

People say it because it's true. God is completely imaginary. Try praying for an amputee's limbs to be restored and let us know how that works out for you.

Because you are speaking from emotion, fear, and hope that you won't really die when you die (a contradiction in terms).
There's virtually zero evidence that any deity exists, let alone your deity.
Sorry.
