why people like God ?

Cause humans are mostly insecure and conformistic.\nThey thus need an easy way out of their dilemmas as well as the relief of afterlife and the feeling of low responsibility adhered by religions(even if their dogma claims otherwise).\nMoreover there is a natural tendency in humans to belong in groups. A strongly structured group requires an opposing group. Religious groups provide both these features in abundance.

God delights when people ask Him that question. That is, He delights in it if: \n\n1)they are really serious\n\n2)they are willing to trust Him enough to be obedient to the directions that He gives to them\n\n&\n\n3) their motives are to live a life that pleases Him as opposed to some carnal motive like making themself look good, or getting rich, or trying to use it as a "make-up" for continuing to live in sin.

I dont think people neccessarily need "God"... people just need "something" to believe in. When you think about it, people believe in God because they need a purpose in their life. They need to believe that there is a reason to live...something to look forward to, something to believe in. For some people, its God, for others its buddah, or the Sun.. and for me... its karma. I believe I exist because things happen for a reason... and good things will come to those who do good things. To me, all of those things are the same... its just how people conceptualize them and what they do with it. :)

GOD loves those people. \n\nThe thing is, God 'gets' the human race, way more than we 'get' ourselves. And boy, does it make Him sad that so many are missing out on the treasure of trusting and believing Him!\n\nProblem for us is, we have to believe that He IS, in order to be saved. \n\nAsk for proof. Ask for faith.\n\nIt's a whole other world when you KNOW it.

God does not have a "meaning" in the sense that you are asking. Your question is asked in a way to say "what is the human perception of God." While God can be perceived in many different ways by people, He is still seperate and distinct from them. His "meaning" comes from who He is. He is Holy, Just, Righteous, Faithful, Vengeful, Loving, Kind, Merciful, True, etc. These facts are known through His inspired word, the Bible. Through people, God wrote the Bible in order to display who He is, to us.

this answer is for non believers : People believe in god because humans are weak spiritually, we are unable to accept things and are constantly hoping for the impossible. But how to achieve it and will they be able to accept it if they do get their goals? therefore, in order to give themselves mental support or to feel better and explain things on a more "fiction based" way so that they can accept it, They created God. God to you may be nothing. But to these people, they feel that it is real, they believe it is real and to them it is truly real. You who do not believe will never get to experience it be it true or false for the brain is a marvelous thing.

Because so many people hate God! and since they can't get to God directly, they try to get at the people He chose to entrust with the Holy Scriptures, and eventually, through them, the Messiah, Jesus Christ! (Jesus is the promised Seed of Abraham, through whom all the families of the earth would be blessed.)

Two reasons:\nThe first is that a lot of people have trouble seeing other points of view.  They believe their religion, and their view of "God" and can't imagine anyone seeing it any differently or believing anything different because in their minds, thats just the way it is.\nThe second reason is that defining "God" is no easy task.  Even given one's set beliefs and intending that as their meaning of "God", its very difficult to express what is meant.

To each follower, his God is always better. It is better to imbibe Godly qualities to the extent possible, than disputing about the better one.. One may spend / waste a lifetime trying to choose a better God !

What the question should be is why is it some people who believe in GOD are so judgemental over others beliefs? Some folks are simply trying to find thier own path, and may be eclectic. He may be real to you, he is not real to every one. Nothing wrong with either ideology, just wish there was a way for every one to understand that.

God is a loving Father in heaven and He loves us.  We were created in his image and our purpose in life is to strive to be like him.

People feel safe in their hearts thinking that their God will save them,because when you live in a world with violence, corruption, and pain the people with faith still feel safe inside in their mind. WHY QUESTION THEM LET THEM BE they are not hurting anyone, They are probably more sane then other people because they know who they are inside.

God is a big question in a lot of people's minds.  If they're searching for answers, let them search.

God is the very foundation of every thing. even for people who dont't want to belive in him they are still acting in a realm were their is a God. our very mind set is in this unique realm. if we took God out then were is the reason for any thing. think about it all you do has so kind relation ship with in God weather for agianst or out of even ignorence. I am only 19 and I have thought about this many times and this is the only thing that makes sence to me.

cause it's the best way to celebrate God! God is everywhere, and so many descriptions of God remind us this fact, all the time!\nwhy you care so much about what kind of worship other peoples do?
