It's a learning experience.  If you can gain some understanding to what others think it better helps you in your life and how you deal with people.  Knowledge is power.

It's not a question of hard or easy.  Belief isn't a choice.  Thoughtful people's beliefs follow from their brain-based reasoning.  There are a small number of people who claim to reason their way to belief in God, but on inspection it's not very many, and it belies the concept of "faith," which wouldn't be necessary if belief in God followed from reason.

hiiii, \nwell people who dnt believe in god is numerous. still people who do believe is also quite big. but cant those people who dnt believe in god just stop and ask them selfs then from where did we come and dnt tell me we were monkies coz even if we were monkies one day still who created those monkies.\nalso there is a friend who said that if there is a god then he wouldnt let us do this in earth, well may be there tooo many bad things put as well as god created bad things he created good things he created friendship and love with all it's kinds whether between man and women, a mother to her child, between brother and sisters, arent all those things r gifts. i think life is like a big test for every one of us to see if he is going to do good or bad and those who do this horrible things they r just doing bad in that test and not the meaning of their failure is that god doenst exist.\nwell :D 4give me, I got very excited.

Good question, I think people is desperate to believe in something. The idea of not existance of a god must be to overwhelmingly for they.

Wow, I am amazed at the responses you've gotten so far.\nWe keep hearing about how people who don't believe in God are supposed to be so much more intelligent than those of us who do, and yet, all we here from these educated people is that you should go to school, or read a book...in other words, they can't answer your questions.\nGee, and even when they admit that they can't answer your questions, they throw in an insult, just for good measure....\n\nLooks as if you've hit a nerve, my friend!!

Right on brother.  And to all the people who point to 'miracles' that show them there is a god, there are thousands of people who watch the opposite happen to their family member.  What about them?\n\nSeriously, you say you watched some thing hapeen to a relative for a month that should have killed them, but didn't so THERE is god.  What about the 30 year old healthy father of 3 who dies on the the tennis court?  What is his wife supposed to think? What about his 9 year old son?  God works in mysterious ways?  That is all semantic claptrap.\n\nWhat about the 60 year old atheist homeless person who lives to be 90 with nobody praying for him? Please

Relax? I don't think they can some of the nonbelievers don't answer with harsh words I've seen about two that simply give you their opinion like parrot, and I've Got A Ruler but some others seem to just be mean may be it's the ones who answer with mean words really don't know why they don't believe so that's why the answers are things like I don't believe because of the Christians, or God is stupid like you, or my favorite stop preaching to me, oooohhhhh but let those same ppl ask a question like Are all Christians stupid? Are you a bible Thumper? It's alrighty then....\n\n I liked the question..... after all it was simply a question.

no i can't b/c i don't believe in god.  belief in god is based on faith so if you want facts no one is gonna win with you here.

That's so funny.  I don't understand why people don't believe that you are god, shouldn't they just have faith that you are?  Why are they asking for proof from you?  They never needed proof before.

I've been on the other side where I thought that people who didn't believe in god must feel lost.  (I was raised to think they are evil.)  So, I can kinda understand why some religious individuals think that non-believers feel some sort of void or are immoral.  However, I also view that stance as an immature belief.  It doesn't take a lot of looking around to realize that agnostics and atheists are very content with their worldviews and live ethical lives.

No, I don't automatically assume a person who asks about God believes in God. I assume this is a person who wants to know about God. The fact you ask at all, tells me you doubt there is no God, and are willing to explore there really is a God.\n\nI do believe in God, I always have and I always will. I look at life with all of its intricacies, diversity and complexity, and i just can not accept we came to be on Earth any other way than by the Hand of God. There are just to many "just happens to be" to say evolution, and not God's creativity put life on Earth.

If somebody wants to believe in God, that's their choice.   I hope you're not trying to impose your atheist views on people.   How about a little tolerance?\n\n.

I am Christian and I recognize everyone believes in God. Even atheists, but they believe themselves god in a different way than theists think of God.\n\nHowever, some people may believe in a false God. Couldn't that be true?\n\nSo you are correct in that it is a great starting point to springboard into the truth of Jesus Christ being God.\n\nthanks for the question.

What is the point in being a God if you cant draw circular triangles. What kind of a God z dat. God can create rectangular s holes against the cylindirical     c ocks ....        if she likes...\n\n Like square pegs in round holes exactly    ...s,hit away...,\n\n get lost body\n\ndumbass \n\nGod damn you\n\nYou arent a true atheist\nWhat is going on here I really cant understand  Am I a believer? Where is my wine bottle then?

I doubt anyone would believe that God was answering here a Y!A. It's different when God talks to people inside their heads, that is somehow much easier to believe. Oh Yeah it's God not schizophrenia.

Well, it looks like you asked WHY they DON'T believe in God. That's a little different than asking "Do you believe in God?", which has been asked plenty of times here, and usually with one line answers of yes or no. \n\nI don't think that you deserved to be berated the way you were by some of the answers, but there is a difference in the questions. They should have been able to tell you why without being mean about it.

at a younger age, yeah, it was because i was "taught."  at this age, 44, it's because logically there is no other explanation out there....the big bang...well, where did that come from?  nobody has actually DISPROVEN the existence of God to me just yet.  i practice wicca, which is a totally subjective and personal religion for me.  i choose my "church" and my "altar" and my time for reverance to God and all that He has created.  i believe because it is logical and makes sense.  yes, i believe in Jesus Christ as well, based on facts that have been submitted that prove He existed as well.  i can't cite the sources at the moment, but my desert years gave me the faith i needed.  hope this helped!  blessed be!
