Why do\don't you believe in God?

Well, if he came down here and showed himself, I would.

There are two kinds of people.

That people that rely on feelings more and people that rely on logic more.

It's split down the middle. To some people intense feelings and emotional sermons mean NOTHING if there is not evidence proving what they are saying. To others something can make no sense but if it appeals to their feelings they vehemently believe in it.

And just for a bonus. Humans have been on earth for 200,000 years. Christianity is 2,000 years. The only way to get into heaven is to accept christ. So that means that if the christian god exists, for 198,000 years there was absolutely no way of getting into heaven. This is a loving god? No it's a non existent god. Every religion operates from the basis of faith. And faith is nothing more than willful ignorance.

edit: how can you say there is proof? When all you're going to do is say you feel him in your heart or point out things in nature explained by science?

I don't believe in god for the same reason I don't believe in fairies, unicorns, leprechauns or the boogie man. There's absolutely no evidence for any of them and no reason to believe in them.

Edit: @Damien, there is nothing logical about reincarnation. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be depleted and changed into something else. For example, once you use up a battery, I suppose the energy hasn't been destroyed, but you can't gather it and put it back into the battery, right? I think of a dead human body like a spent battery--the energy has been used, it's not there anymore, and it didn't go in "one piece" into another body.

Duh, just because you don't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I can't see the wind, but I can prove it's there. I can prove atoms are there, or the dark side of the moon. And for people who "refuse to believe" this is all there is: well, that's your problem. It's not proof of anything.

The same reason you don't believe in Allah, Buddha, Zeus, Jupiter, Invisible Pink Unicorn, Flying Spaghetti Monster, or any of the other thousands of other deities of which you have "no proof".

There is no REAL proof of him. Anyone can write a book, call it the bible, and put a talking snake in there...

Tell me why the world is so ****** up?

I do, there's no proof he doesn't exist either.

What is the origin of anything, the first matter or dark matter or whatever

? No scientist can tell you that.

I believe in "god" because I refuse to believe that this is it, that we are born then we die. I refuse to believe that there's no purpose in our existence, no purpose that humans are the ONLY creatures too evolve as far as we have. I refuse to believe that their is no peace when I die, that I'm just worm food. I refuse to believe I won't exist after this life.

Just because you cannot see something, doesn't mean it's not there. That's just people thinking small.

BTW I am not religious, just spiritual.

I don't believe in the bible, Quaran, the church, or the traditional god that is depicted in modern religions.

there is simply no proof. the four gospels can't even agree on something as concrete as the birth of jesus.

I believe in reincarnation. Just because it seems logical and because energy can never be created nor destroyed.

I don't because there isn't a single iota of evidence for the existence of such a critter.

theres no proof of him
