People not believing in god..

Why dont a lot of people believe in god?? yea ok yea none of us can prove that god is real or the bible but we still have faith dont we?? they believe its just a book some person made because too many people were asking if god was real...and thats why...

and how the bible was craeted...that is a bunch of bull crap. And this big bang theory about some explosion that created us all...yea right please.

If there was no god then why do people have prove that they saw there self of angels saving them and such?? why is that if god's not real?? Its plain and simple he is real... And since no one really knows if there really is a god then if god is real im glad that I followed him, if not oh well it was a risk I had to take...what are your veiws of this non-believing in gor thing???

there is no god as defined by organized religion, most of the following of christ and the bible was stolen (borrowed ) from the pagans, but that being said- believe in whatever you think to be right.
there are certain things that are indisputable- the bible being a conglomeration of the beliefs of the time in which it was written is one of them.
look at the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt- most of their gods had wings ( angels???)
it all becomes quite clear when you study all of the worlds religions, and you can see the progression and birth of many of the organized religions and the pagan beliefs that inspired them.
it has always seemed rather odd to me how the truth was confined to a rather small geographic area in the beginning,and then spread as people migrated around Europe, if it truly was the truth- wouldn't everyone on the planet have been notified by this god and given a copy of the bible?
if you look at history with an open mind you will see that this wasn't the case at all, we had civilization's here in the Americas long before christs birth, and what were their beliefs? paganism , nature, and ancestor worship- ironically the very evils that the organized religions are against- truly hypocritical if you ask me.
King Solomon was a practitioner of WITCHCRAFT, and it is said that through such witchcraft- he built the temple mount the holy of holies but that part of the bible has been overlooked in favor of more traditional organized beliefs ( google the lesser key of Solomon), translated- organized religion is a play for POWER, and that power comes from followers of blind faith and their MONEY, most organized religions teach to be humble and not to covet worldly posessions, and that money is the root of all evils, and yet most organized religions are some of the richest organizations in the world, $$$ is the true name of this god
but believe as you will, that is your choice and your right as a human being- if believing in a singular god is what keeps you warm at night, and keeps you being good than that is great.

blessed be

well first of all you can makeyour mind create anything that you think is real. So the whole angel thing..peoples mind can create that image. and anyways there are many gods which one you talking about?

I think certain people don't believe in god because they've had tough lives and feel that god has abandoned them. I have a friend like that. It dosn't matter what you say or how much you fight they believe what they believe. We can't make them feel how we do. It will just cause arguments. As long as you believe, that's going to have to be good enough because people are going to be difiant just because they can.

sOME PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF WHERE THEY ARE GOING OR OF GOD SO THEY DONT BELIEVE IN HIM.

everyone takes things in differently. im christian. but rilly, im not much of a strong believer at all. I dont attend church all the time. my dad wants me 2 use god everyday in my life, pray, and listen closely 2 the preach. and then sometimes he even quizzes me.

but I mean, I believe him, but just not trully. so basically people have their own beliefs, and different levels.

and what you said about big bag theory. some people like to live by a life where things are proven. it is an excellent and logical theory, one that toook time 2 create. so dont say yea right or wtvr because apparently you dont like it when people downgrade and try 2 disprove your gawd, the one that you have faith in.

believers tend 2 maybe c what they want 2. have you noticed that non believers of gawd never c these angels? maybe their saved by something else. maybe the mind wants 2 believe that god and angels save them so it creates images that may be false.

so I think you shud keep your mind a bit more open and maybe consider that everyones different. your way and beliefs arent the way that everyone shud follow

also I kinda agree with dreamy chick. gawd sometimes doesnt save us all. if he wanted us 2 believe, he wud save us. maybe the idea that he will come when its necessary doesnt appeal 2 everyone. maybe they just want 2 live realistically

Yeah I think people are just scared, or...they think they dont have the time to sit down and think it out. To think about...what he is and what he does, and what he is capable of. I think it also has to do with, how they look. Like if, their friends dont believe then they decide they wont either. Its really stupid actually. But...everyones different. Those non-believers will find out in the end.

if there is a god and he is supossed to be loving why are there starving people in countries...why was there a holocaust...there aint no god face it

You can't say there is no god because there was a holacost. That was the work of HUMANS. People have free will so there will always be problems in the world. But think of all the beauty there is in the world along with the bad. The world has to have good AND evil to balance it out. Without the bad we wouldn't know what good was.

I am a totally different religion that I doubt any of you guys know. I dont believe that much in it. I have my own beliefs about what happens after we die. but I still like my religion, because there are a lot of persians there, but besides that who cares what peoples beliefs are.

and lets see who could have prevented all those deaths...hmmm...your so called god...so countless children should die of starvation...and people should continue with genocide...listen to yourself your oking the death of millions by saying the we need evil...and anyways explain why paganism and wicca was before christianity and christianity has similaries to paganism and wicca

I'm not saying it's ok for all those people to die. I don't believe that at all, but there may be a higher purpose for them. MAybe someeone has to die for someone else to realize there purpose in life. So because someone died of like cancer, maybe someone else will cure it because that specific person died. It all goes back to a higher reason than we can understand. I think we should just leave it at everyone has there own beliefs and there is no swaying them from it.

when god made this world he knew its future and he made us choose between good and evil... god knew those people were going to die before he made this world... his job is to save people in the heart not from death

doctors already have the cure for cancer but they get paid to find it so they just haven't told anyone that they found it...so they are killing people and god just sits around and lets them...some wonderful god he is.

Let me ask you the reverse: Why _do_ you believe in god, when you recognise that there's no evidence for one? More importantly, why do you believe in your specific god, when there's equal amounts of evidence for any of the gods that people have worshipped over the ages? Why the Christian god (which I presume is what you believe in), rather than the god of Islam, or Judaism, or the Hindu gods, or the greek pantheon?

The trouble is, once you assume there's a god despite the lack of evidence, there's absolutely no reason to suppose it's your god rather than someone else's - unless you rely on holy writings etc, which only have meaning if you already believe them.

there is no gods,but there is one god! some people use to say there is no prove of god,the simple question if there is no allah then how you are being here?

First of all the fact that you wont consider the bible at all shows how ignorant you realy are arachnid.

God allows pain and misfortune for 4 reason that I've found IN THE BIBLE.
1. punishment
2. To bring people back to their path
3. to bring people closer to him
4. To allow others to fufil their destiney

People dont believi in God cause.
1. its not convenent for them
2. they been taught not to
3. they think to accept God you have to be christian
4. they have had bad experience with curch.
5 . THEY DONT UNDERSTAND HIM so they blame Him for all the bad
If you blame God for all the bad then humans cant be blamed for things that they can control.
You think this life is the pentacle of our experiance? when people die they arnt just dead. they go on.

Please refrain from Ad Homenims. If you can't make your argument without insulting the other party, don't make it at all.

Further, I do 'consider' the bible - it's a work of historical fiction. Tell me why I should consider it to be true? And why I should consider all the other holy books to be untrue? Because it is is not a very convincing argument.

I won't even bother addressing the why god allows pain argument - when you have infinite latitude to make up reasons why you think your god permits suffering, and there's no proving you wrong, the argument is pointless.

Your list of reasons people don't believe in god is rather myopic. The _main_ reason people don't believe in god (any of them) is because they see no reason one should exist in the first place. I could take that same list and present it to you as reasons people don't believe in Zeus, and it would be just as valid. What makes your god so unique?

the bible has survived the test of time. If you consider its Historical evidence then I dont understand why, when we are talking about Christain God, you dont consider it. its considered the for most knowledge of God. When you throu it out you close your mind to the idea. God is onnipant. We cant comprened His ways. What makes you think your smart enough to fiuger it out? the BIBLE tells us why he allows pain. It tells us all these questions we have yet everybody scoffs at it. I dont get it. Im sure there are several more reasons why people dont belivie in God.

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 2 peter 3:3

If you consider its Historical evidence then I dont understand why, when we are talking about Christain God, you dont consider it. its considered the for most knowledge of God.

I said I consider it a historical _novel_. There's no reason to suppose it's accurate - unless you already believe in the christian god - and arguments that require you to believe to find them convincing aren't very useful. Why should I believe that the contents of a particular (very old) book are absolutely accurate?

What makes _you_ believe the christian bible instead of, say, the Torah, or the Qu'ran? They all have the same degree of evidence for their accuracy as your holy book.
