Christians, why do you think people do not believe in your god?

There are a great many people that believe in God that do not believe Jesus is his son. Furthermore, Christianity is plagued by people who are judgmental, hypocritical, wish-y- washy and unreasonable. This has driven people away from Christianity, purely to avoid unlikeable people. This is not all Christians, but it gives us a bad reputation. The bottom line is this: No one can have a divine encounter with almighty God and come away unchanged. When met face to face with the reality of God, they will believe, or they will make the conscious decision to reject him in favor of eternal separation from him.

I do not wish that anyone would be separated from God. I would urge everyone to seek and encounter with God. He will oblige, and then they will see him for who he truly is, not just by the poor example that we mortals give of him.

Here is why....

Original sin was first called "original" by Augustine. Prior to that it was called Ancestral sin. So Jesus, the innocent pious Jew, would have been dying for the sins of his guilty ancestors. Indeed he was, Adam (and Eve) to be exact.

Multiple inconsistencies are developing here.

The first and most obvious is that modern apologists tell us that the Biblical Adam didn't really exist, the story is symbolic and therefore should be taken only as symbolically. So Jesus shed real blood for a guy who didn't really exist.

If Adam didn't really exist then he never really ate the apple. So original sin is symbolic as well. So Jesus had to die for a symbolic sin that a guy who really didn't exist committed.

Implicit to all this is that the apologist adds that Jesus is actually God. If God (Jesus) is omniscient, then He knows ahead of time that He will suffer excruciatingly, for someone and something that doesn't exist - which all tends to wholly undermine the rather curious affair. Why would God act as His own judge, jury and then have to arrange His own execution? Just doesn't jive.

the hole even go deeper than that....

I think it is because, generally, God is misrepresented. There are Christians who threat with eternal hell rather than talk only about God's love for everyone.

To them I ask, what is wrong with believing that everyone will be with God in Heaven because God is loving?

My dear there are billions that believe in the God of the Bible and growing. Others have left religion altogether. Have a blessed week.

I don't have a god. I know they say they don't believe in God because they want to run their own lives, and have nobody to be accountable to.

Because belief in God includes moral responibility and a life lived in his will rather than your own.

There's just no credible, tangible, valid, verifiable, or irrefutable evidence of any such 'god'.
