Why dont people believe in God after I convince them so well (Dont answer non believers)?

It's always scientific proof. I tried to convince a whole bunch of kids and there responses were like: "Well if God wanted us to be happy why are you making me mad right now?"

Update:

I meant that they always bring it to: "I want scientific proof"

Update 2:

The police dont always have evidence when they lock someone up. But there are still like a million people and sometimes atheists who think they should be locked up.

    Please read Romans 1:18-32 (see link below). God has blinded them, that is why they don't believe regardless of how much you may try. DO witness to them, but then pray that God would help them OPEN their eyes to the truth. ONLY GOD can "convince" them, you can only inform them.

    What theists deem scientific and logical when trying to prove a god exists is often anything but scientific or logical. A theist will say that evolution is just a theory when a scientific theory (unlike a conspiracy theory) is the pinnacle of scientific thought. A scientific theory means that so much evidence has been found to support the idea and the idea provides the best explanation for a phenomenon that it may be treated as fact until shown otherwise. Many theists also make nonsensical claims such as " I prayed to God for a person to be healed and they were, thus, logically speaking, God exists". This is flawed logic at best as the healing occurred without a god ... medicine, surgery, therapy, chemotherapy,radiation treatments, dietary changes, a doctor's care .... God need not have played a part. In other words.... Just because you find your arguments convincing in no way means they are effective, accurate, consistent valid or convincing. I would be curious to know what you say to these people ... but theists are often vague so as not to be pinned down to any claim.

    Not to be a troll, but if you believe you have scientific proof of the existence of the christian God I have a hard time believing you understand the meaning of the word scientific. You realize that to be considered proof something needs to be independently verifiable, logically consistent, and ultimately peer-reviewed to confirm its authenticity, correct? If there was any scientific proof for the existence of the christian God (or really any of the various gods that humans have believed in) I think it would have made the news.

    I would like to review the proof you claim to have, though. So, please, enlighten us.

    Study up on the bible. You'll find verses that help. Look into proselytization techniques. It's sort of like being a salesman or con man (or woman). You have to trick them into believing, because you're right, there's no proof at all that God exists or that the bible is true. In fact, it may be completely false. But talk around that issue. Make it a faith thing. "You gotta have faith" sing the George Michael song, they'll totally get into it (or is it that other guy?...Boy George I can never remember)

    Because you can't force someone or convince someone to believe, they have to come to the realization on their own. We aren't supposed to try to convince people either. We are supposed to show them the love of God through compassion and kindness and if everyone did what they were supposed to people's curiosity would get the better of them and they would start looking for the answer even if they didn't realize they had a question. Stop confronting kids about God and just be compassionate and caring towards people, it will rub off on them.

    I know you asked non-believers not to answer, but why ask believers why non-believers don't believe you? I'm going to answer anyways.

    Everyone who has tried to convince me of God's existence has failed to provide the one thing that would convince me: evidence. Evidence is the only logical way of proving the existence of anything. Without evidence, believing in something is illogical.

    Scientific proof for God? I'd like to hear this.

  • 9 years ago

    Well first, immature kids will sometimes react that way. But trying to convince non-believers is not easy but all you can do is tell them and pray that God moves on their heart to change.

    I simply think that they just don't care.

    That and, like this in the context of question, you have failed to divulge such knowledgeable scientific proof.

    If you believed in a loving god you would act like it so why do you keep attacking atheists to prove there can be no such thing in your life?

    You disgrace Christianity to it's core with your hatred and bigotry!

    Do please stop making Christians look so awful!
