Why Do You Not Believe In God? by sweetpie23: 2:41pm On Sep 05, 2009 |
To me, God gives amply proof of his existence and a person can see that just by observing all creation. so why the hell do some people not believe in God? |
Re: Why Do You Not Believe In God? by IDINRETE: 2:56pm On Sep 05, 2009 |
Which one of them is it Allah, Olodumare, Yeshua ben Pandira aka Jesus Christ or his vengeful violent sadistic violent dad ( Yahweh/Jehovah), Mawu, Chi e.t.c? |

Oh the wise one, why dont you answer the question first before retorting with puerile and balbative outburst. Which direction and destination in life do you have in mind wise counsellor? |

If you believe in God, may I ask why you don't believe also in brownies, UFOs, elves, santa claus and all the other fairies described by other books like the bible. And answer the question posed by IDINRETE, please. Which of the gods do you believe in? |
Re: Why Do You Not Believe In God? by Ogaga4Luv(m): 5:57pm On Sep 05, 2009 |
the first day, man created God .Of all religions the Christian is without doubt the one which should inspire tolerance most, although up to now the Christians have been the most intolerant of all men. God who kept tinkering with the universe was absurd; a God who interfered with human freedom and creativity was tyrant. If God is seen as a self in a world of his own, an ego that relates to a thought, a cause separate from its effect. he becomes a being, not Being itself. An omnipotent, all‐knowing tyrant is not so different from earthly dictators who make everything and everybody mere cogs in the machine which they controlled. An atheism that rejects such a God is amply justified. I refuse to believe in a god who is the primary cause of conflict in the world, preaches racism, sexism, homophobia, and ignorance, and then sends me to hell if I’m ‘bad’ |

mantraa . . . . so glad you're intelligent, Yes, i do appriciate the truthful words, honestly i didn't see much of your type in our conversation. . . |
Re: Why Do You Not Believe In God? by bawomolo(m): 6:36pm On Sep 05, 2009 |

Re: Why Do You Not Believe In God? by WildOne(f): 6:57pm On Sep 05, 2009 |
@ Mantra: That's one rather long list. I had to scroll and scroll and scroll. And to make the srolling doubly sure, banom had to go and insert the whole damn list again. I didn't find that funny at all. Next time, just give us an abridged version or insert the link. |
Re: Why Do You Not Believe In God? by mantraa: 8:35pm On Sep 05, 2009 |
sorry |
Re: Why Do You Not Believe In God? by bawomolo(m): 8:49pm On Sep 05, 2009 |
what's up with the long ass quote |
Re: Why Do You Not Believe In God? by Krayola2(m): 9:04pm On Sep 05, 2009 |
@ Topic. I don't believe in the God of religion(s) because i don't want to. He tries to scare people into compliance and that just ain't gonna fly. He was created by humans to achieve human goals. I'm open to other interpretations of the word, but not a transcendent God that answers prayers and sends people to hell, etc. And any interpretation that does not admit to be tentative, but claims to be "The Truth", is of no use to me either. IMO our Universe is still unfolding, and everything changes. . |
Re: Why Do You Not Believe In God? by IDINRETE: 3:41am On Sep 06, 2009 |

Christians consider the existence of their God to be an obvious truth that no sane man could deny. I strongly disagree with this assumption not only because evidence for the existence of this presumably ubiquitous yet invisible God is lacking, but because the very nature Christians attribute to this God is self-contradictory. Before we can discuss the existence of a thing, we must define it. Christians have endowed their God with all of the following attributes: He is eternal, all-powerful, and created everything. He created all the laws of nature and can change anything by an act of will. He is all-good, all-loving, and perfectly just. He is a personal God who experiences all of the emotions a human does. He is all-knowing. He sees everything past and future. God's creation was originally perfect, but humans, by disobeying him, brought imperfection into the world. Humans are evil and sinful, and must suffer in this world because of their sinfulness. God gives humans the opportunity to accept forgiveness for their sin, and all who do will be rewarded with eternal bliss in heaven, but while they are on earth, they must suffer for his sake. All humans who choose not to accept this forgiveness must go to hell and be tormented for eternity. One Bible verse which Christians like[b] Maykelly and co [/b] are fond of quoting says that atheists, Satanist and any believe out Christianity are fools. I intend to show that the above concepts of God are completely incompatible and so reveal the impossibility of all of them being true. Who is the fool? The fool is the one who believes impossible things and calls them divine mysteries. |
