do you want to know why i think people don't believe in god?

well i believe people don't want to believe in god because they are scared.

they know that if they finally do gorge the confidence to believe in him, he might discipline them for their skepticism.

Woah. i assure you that god does not pick clowns like that to represent him.
Again, god can tell us. And, if you are telling us this without proof, you are just as much a clown as they.
but that's why i'm trying to tell you guys that you don't have to be arrogant.
Yeah, but you are telling us to trust you, that you know what god wants and you are here to deliver this message and you are totes not a clown like those other clowns and you are here to help save us.
Clownish arrogance to the height, that.

loveuni, you are proving my point. you fear god and the belief of him. why? because your human and we humans are natural wimps
Why would he be afraid of something he doesn't believe in? He said IF God were real.... you're missing the condition necessary for the fear.
As for being a wimp, speak for yourself.
what im trying to tell you is that god does not want you to be afraid. because if you just identify the true god, there will not be anything to worry about.
If god is real and loves us, it can personally tell me, not rely on a faulty messenger.

While the Bible may introduce you to Jesus Christ, you need to accept him, and allow him through Holy Spirit to reside in you.
Hope this makes sense.
No, it makes none. Without the Bible, the bloody, genocidal, rape, theft and murder filled OT you don't get Jesus. The Bible is the basis for your belief in Jesus and somehow some Christians decide to chuck it.
Why?
Also, what is this holy spirit? Where in you does it live? Can it be found on an MRI? What is it made of?

Go to a childrens hospital and find some 4 to 8 year old little girl with a terrible ailment caused by birth defects or some terrible disease.
We have some posters here saying there is value in child rape. That's the kind of thinking "because Jesus" leads you to.

i remember studying this book years ago and how it impacted my belief system.

i no longer believe the bible is god's word.

however i do have a couple of lingering questions on this subject.

I'm with you Tenacious. Too many coincidences. You can add DNA to that list. DNA works just like computer programming.
This tells me you know neither how DNA works nor a computer program.

How about the Coriolis effect which allows for rest and night/day?
Huh? Do you actually know that the earth rotates?
Why is a hole perfectly shaped for the puddle that forms in it?

you have to believe. not study, but believe. You see, studying so called evidence takes nothing from you to do. You just open a book and let your eyes twirl. Having faith takes the integrity mixed with your inner power.
Oh, my mistake. I didn't realize you were advocating being dumber to believe in God. Hippolytus you are not.

Now I would like to invite everyone on this forum to wake up and open your eyes to see that God is true and real. For he is God the Lord. The creator and ruler of all. As the scrolls say: "But as ye God is trueth, our wordeth toward you was not yea and nay."
God is real, indeed. I pray you wake as well.
This Book is not to be doubted.... As for the unbelievers, it is the same whether or not you forewarn them; they will not have faith. God has set a seal upon their hearts and ears; their sight is dimmed and grievous punishment awaits them.
Quran 2:1/2:6-2:10;
Wait, you were talking about Allah, right? The one true God? Because if not, I've no idea what infidel religion you are talking about.

Do you want to know why I think people don't believe in God? Well I believe people don't want to believe in God because they are scared.
You asked if we wanted to know and then said your erroneous belief. Are you confusing "belief" with "fact"?

A couple questions for atheists on Suffering

who told you that the world should be free from suffering?.

do you find any value in suffering?.

do you think it is possible to experience all the beauty and goodness and pleasure the world offers without also experiencing the bad?
Viviane

If you think about it, a world without world suffering would be nonsensical. Let me put it this way, you can't know light if there never was darkness. In the same manner you couldn't know suffering without happiness.
So, can a child enjoy NOT being raped without having been raped?
