im not atheist, but i dont understand the statement "i dont believe in God." how can you not believe in something that is not there?obviously, there has to be God for you to not believe in Him, right? you cant not believe in something non-existent, thats like me saying "I dont believe in the Internet" or something... there is God. just b/c u dont believe in Him doesnt mean He doesnt exist... thats what i believe about atheism, but i just wanted an explanation on the different views. im not trying to be offensive or anything. just curiosity. Happy New Year!! Jai Shree Radhey!

All I can provide you is proof that God does exist:
First, the non-existence of God cannot be proven. One cannot prove a universal negative. Alternatively, the existence of God is provable.
The concept, design, and intricate details of our world necessitate an intelligent designer.
Both direct and indirect evidence for God’s existence are well known and well documented. Nothing in history is better known or better documented than the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We even use the year of His birth as the basis for our calendar. He perfectly matched the over 100 unique Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament regarding His birth, life, death, and resurrection. The laws of probability cannot give us a reasonable explanation for either the Messianic predictions or the resurrection, let alone both by the same person.
Jesus’ miracles were witnessed by many and were documented redundantly for additional corroboration. He was seen by at least 500 people after His resurrection. He was seen ascending into heaven. His transfiguration was seen by Peter, James, and John. His wisdom in dealing with many circumstances was astounding. He never promoted Himself or His miracles. C. S. Lewis stated that He couldn’t have just been a good teacher. He was either a liar, lunatic, or Lord. He didn’t even come close to meeting the profile of a liar or lunatic, so He had to be God.
Jesus Christ also supported the truth of the Old Testament and quoted it many times. Consequently, with Jesus Christ, we have an eyewitness to the truth of the Old Testament. This gives credibility to the creation account and God’s interaction with man. The entire Old Testament account is about how God is trying to have a relationship with man while man is separating himself from God by sin. It tells how God is long-suffering and merciful and ultimately how God sent His Son to die for our sins so God could ultimately have a relationship with us.
God’s interaction with man in the Old Testament was often and powerful. Some of the main interactions included Adam, Cain, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, the Israelites, the prophets, and the kings. In addition to Jesus’ testimony to the truth of the Old Testament, ancient manuscripts, archaeology, and internal consistency also testify to its truth. Consequently, much direct evidence including eyewitness accounts and indirect evidence corroborate the existence of God and the truth of the Bible.
I hope this helps. The Lord be with you

You think God exists. You are sure God exists. You believe this on faith. Others need some demonstration of proof. Without that proof some say they do not believe in God. They have no faith in the stories you believe are factual. They are atheists. If a person doesn't believe the stories are true, but that God might exist - just isn't ready to say in absolution God does exist - they are agnostic.

They can also choose to say,
"I don't believe in gravity".
We all have the free-will
to believe what ever we want.
However, believing or not believing
doesn't make it so.
Truth is what will ultimately win-out.
You can choose to say that you don't believe
in GOD.
GOD in HIS grace will allow you
to go down that path if that's what you want.
I can choose to say that a car rushing
towards me as I stand in the middle of the street
is not real.
And I will get-away with that for a short length
of time, until 3000lbs. of steel, glass and plastic
slams into my broken body.
Then no matter that I choose not to believe
in that car, I will be in a world of pain.
"Every knee will bow,
and every tongue will confess
that JESUS CHRIST is LORD."
I choose to gladly and thankfully confess this fact.
Choose wisely. Your eternity depends on it...

There is where you are confused. It is not about belief, but lack of evidence!

How can you not believe in something that's not there? That makes no sense whatsoever.
