Most people who do not believe in God do so because there is no evidence for the existence of God. In just the same way, Christians do not believe in the Hindu god Brahma because they believe there is no evidence for the existence of him.
People may believe in the existence of God due to religious teachings, personal experiences, or feelings of comfort and hope derived from faith. They may also see evidence of God's presence in the complexity and beauty of the world. Disagreement on the existence of God can stem from different cultural beliefs, personal philosophies, or scientific explanations for natural phenomena.
This can only be an oppinion because I may very well be wrong. When you are a child you believe in your parents. You soon learn that they are not perfect but you still yearn for sooner to look up to and something that is easy to understand and give you a reason. you make up a super parent. entrepreneurs have built up organizations around this that we call religions. Spiritual yearnings can also be covered by philosophy's but this requires more thinking and is therefore less popular.
Basically before answering the question we should start by: is God real or not?
some people may refer to evolution as a solution for this answer, however even if you believe man was an ape at some point, that doesn't solve the "where did man - or ape - come from?"
the idea of a creator is inescapable. even the big bang doesn't give us the answer we need.
if the big bang gave us the universe as we know it, then what existed before the big bang? well whatever it was i should ask what was before that too?
and so on...
so whatever it was, there was a start, a starting point for everything.
something that was and there was nothing before it.
this is where the mind fail to explain through reason, simply because we all -theist or atheist- agree with what lavoisier said "nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed"
but here we are, in front of something that was and was nothing before it, and i can't suggest it was there all along, because if it were there all along it shouldn't be able to start changing just all of a sudden from its "still fixed state"!
so we only have one answer: God. God was the creator, he created something out of nothing. that is the inescapable starting point.
now , why people think god isn't real?
well, I personally think that people know that believing in God comes with consequences, it's the stuff that comes with believing: restrictions, Morales, submission to God's will... etc
that is why they don't want to believe in him.
some people may claim that no scientific fact backs the idea of God.
so let's go through it...

Don't feel bad that you're asking for proof, because even I have these doubts sometimes. 1. The afterlife- people from around the world tell stories of dying and seeing the Holy Lord and feeling His love 2. The Bible- the Bible has alot of chapters written by different people, who all seemed to know what they're talking about and are similar. Its also relevant to world events. 3. Miracles- not only are there miracles being shared about in the Bible, but everyday someone, somewhere gets their life saved (cancer patients) 4. Creation-scientists say that evolution is the answer, but you can't change DNA and our DNA is different from apes. 5. The most important...Jesus- His birth was predicted thousands of years ago, He was an actual person dying on a cross, and the things the Bible says He quoted are true. God forgives you for doubting His existence, you don't even need to read the Bible or go to Church. Just simply believe and confess. email me at thaerofdyrt@hotmail.com for questions
The seasons of life
'' There is an occasion for everything, and time for every activity under heaven and that's earth''
NB; read Ecclesiastes 3;1 & Hebrews 12;1-13โ
just as God planned seasons in nature, he planned seasons in human life as well. life has its spring time, when we begin new things and look excitedly toward the future.๐๐คฃ๐๐๐๐จโ๐งโ๐ง๐คฐ๐ฐ๐คต๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐
Summer comes, and we work diligently in the heart of the day at that all God has assigned to us, remember he is the Author of our life's. winter brings an end to a particular period in our lives.๐คโ๐ง๐ฅโ๐๐ฉ๐
Winter comes in then , sometimes with hardships of all sorts , this are the things that makes us doubt if God even notices, ask questions like does he even care , why isn't he doing something about it , se what need to do is remain hopeful, for yet another spring to start up fresh is just around the corner awwwwwh !! ๐๐๐ค๐ฝโฐ๐ต๐ด๐คฐ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฉโ๐ฆฝ
A Catholic may disagree with an atheist view on the creation story because for Catholics, the creation story in the Bible is considered sacred and divinely inspired. They believe in the theological truths presented in the story, such as the existence of God as the creator of the universe. Atheists, on the other hand, do not believe in a god or a divine being, so they would not accept the religious explanations provided in the creation story.
People get worked up about God because belief in a higher power often provides comfort, purpose, and guidance in their lives. While the concept of God may be beyond human comprehension, faith allows individuals to forge a connection and seek meaning in the divine. It is this relationship that drives people to explore, question, and understand their beliefs.
Many religious beliefs teach that God loves all people equally, regardless of their wealth or social status. God is often portrayed as compassionate and caring for the poor, offering them comfort and support. It is the duty of individuals to show kindness and help those in need, reflecting God's love for all.
if there was no god, you would have very bad luck! yea you are right. People believed a pharaoh was both a god and a ruler.
I disagree. To "be good" is to follow the golden rule: do unto others as you would they do unto you, a moral principle that is worded differently in other religions but always means the same thing.
A:If God could and would kill all the people who lie, there would be no one left on this earth. Either God can not kill people who lie, perhaps because he does not exist, or he is a loving God who would not do so.
A:Voltaire did not believe the Christian God exists but was prepared to fight to the death for the right of others to disagree with him. That is the way it should be. People must have the absolute right to believe in God or the absolute right not to believe in God, and any discussion must respect the opposite view.
If you choose to believe in a god, they exist because he wanted them to exactly as they are. He doesn't allow them to exist, he wants them to exist.
Most people would disagree... however, different people perceive God in different ways, so, to you, he could be a human being with wings and a pig head. It all depends.
If god didn't exist then the hole world and all the planets and galaxy's would never happen
It explains that prayers to a god are not always answered, not that a god does not exist. However, if the god in question meets some criteria that would allow an expectation for all prayers to be answered, it does not exist.
its playing god
Nobody knows what God wants ... but lots of people claim to. Too bad they all disagree. yes, god wants people to baptized. baptism is important for christianity.
God doesn't discriminate against Gay people, but a lot of God's followers do.
Some people may believe that God is a manifestation for man's need to hope for a better place after we're done here. Many Christians would disagree and believe God is a real, living being.
so people can pray in it and to respect our god jesus
Yes, people fight over different religions as they believe their god is the one and only god, but other religions disagree with this.. causing conflict.
