Perhaps because such a being doesn't exist?

people seem to think they don't need God in their lives anymore. So sad...

I agree with you. When i see some people saying...follow this or god will hate you or punish you and so on, i feel the vibe of ignorance. This is my interpretation but I think god is formless since that divine energy is not just confined to our physical realm. But characterizing or defining God in human terms is an ignorant and self-centered way of interpretation.

it may get depressing when u come to the fact that an atheist has no one to rely on for something like eventual salvation. a belief is a powerful thing even if its based on something false. it can give that reason to go on thinking u have a purpose. an atheist hasn't got that.

Because they arent really unbeleivers. They just hate God and all who love him. their goal is their fathers goal to try and take as many to hell (a hell they may not believe exsist)with him as he can.\n\nIts either that or God is a liar!!! It is he who said a fool say's in his heart (he is an atheist)there is no God.

What is important is that there is an afterlife.  In other words, at the end of this physical existence in time and space, life continues.  We do not cease to exist.\n\nOther than that, we really know nothing about heaven, Hades or Gehenna.  All we can do is HOPE that everything is better and fine for us at the moment of death.\n\nAs for purgatory, interesting theories come and go.  We want things to work our way and do not understand how a person who has been very good, and another who has spent their life hurting others may have the same forgiveness, love and mercy of God.

I'm an atheist. I believe that if there truly was a God, there would be no war, no terrorism, no poverty, no natural disasters, no ideological bellicosity, no Bush, no Kim Jong-Il, no Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, no nukes in general, no racism, no sexism, no homophobia, no whores, no pimps, no environmental destruction, and definitely no peanut butter. (I hate peanut butter.) If this God of yours is so great, why is all of this stuff still around?

They fear what they don't understand, and so must have a world to live in where they are able to explain everything.  The unknown frightens them.  God is something they don't understand, and so must make efforts to do away with God or the part God plays in our world so that they can feel comfortable.  Arrogance plays a big part in it, too.  How arrogant must someome be to think that they are capable of understanding everything in the universe to begin with.  Sometimes I wish folks from another part of the galaxy would come down here and show us all how little we truly know.

Because they dont see anything wrong with thier lives,the problem is that they dont have a relationship with god.They dont understand that we are saved by faith,not works.

It just makes it easier for them to ignore God and excuse away their choice not to follow Him.   It is difficult to grasp the concept of the enormity of God and many people simply cannot wrap their brains around it.

Because without God, life has no meaning but to improve the world for those who will live in it afterward.  But the lives of those people have no reason to live but to further improve the world.  But why would the world exist if only for its betterment?  Well, that is the logical deduction, however, if you want my real answer you will have to ask me in private.

There is no God. Get over it.

God has a reason for everything. Human beings cannot comprehend God and the reasons things happen.

God has given to all of us a measure of faith. Atheist chooses to believe there is no God, yet deep inside they knows better. That is one reason they are so concerned about christianity. Again all Atheist will not stay that way and some will be converted. Someday they will  see that a Holy God is nothing to play with.

if there is no god, people would be pretty stupid for doing all these crazy things such as making a church, publishing a bible, doing crazy dances, and worshiping someone who doesnt exist. we do this because he is real.

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.

To give them a handle on life and where they fit in. Also because many are unable to handle the concept that their only reason for existence is to experience life in the physical realm. People NEED something to believe in and religion is the biggest and most popular thing to buy into to stave off uncertainty and insecurity.
