If we did not believe in god will hurt God will God lose any sleep over it? We are the losers not him? T/F?

You are right, kind of. It is not God's will that any should perish, but he does not need anything from us. Fact is, if you dont want to follow him in life, you sure aint gonna be with him for all eternity...

Well. I think your right. god would not do what you described.\nGod, can do many things tho'.\n\nBe sure which god, God you have these feelings from.\n\n.

God can't intervene.  If god intervenes he cannot judge us as he has directly altered our experience placing himself at fault and if anyone after that be damned he himself shall be damned.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! GOD DOES NOT FORCE HIMSELF UPON US! Whom ever is doing this needs to go back and read the bible again. We  have the right to choose how we live. Good or bad. In the end we alone are left with our own end results.

man, i feel bad for you. you're playing on the wrong team. God is so real. it seems like everyday he's proving himself (to me anyway). i mean there are times i look back and it could have only been God that got me through. God gives me peace, protection, and he is a great provider. My first year in college I didn't have a job or a dime to my name, but God made a way for me. He made is so that I was never hungry, and that I never wanted for anything. to you God might be an "invisible friend" but for me he is my best friend. the bible is a guide that tells us how to live. and if people live right they dont have to fear God. he gave his only son for us, do you really think that he wants to destroy us? to cripple us with fear? No, thats not him, he is loving. I'm sorry if you feel that God has failed you, or that he's not real, because you're missing out.

Don't worry your pretty little head about us!\nWhen Allah grants us entry into Paradise (Insha-allah), then certainly we will NOT be the losers!

I do not believe that god punishes at all.  We simply experience the consequences of our actions.

YOU WON"T !            I believe in God. I believe In Jesus Christ. I believe He died on the cross for all mankind. (that includes me, you, everybody.) I don't believe in a Hell dragged out of the dark ages. Jesus said,"If I be lifted up I draw all men (mankind). The bible says Hes VICTORIOUS!!!  He won! Who did He win from?...( SATAN) What did He win? (LIFE), Satan gave us death, Jesus gave us life.  Those who believe say it is a choice, and their prideful egos think they made that choice. they need to give the credit where it belongs. TO GOD. God chose them, just as Jesus(GOD) chose 12 men out of hundreds to be His first followers. Did God choose all men to write the Gospels? NOoooo. Unfortunely most are blind and can't hear, but even God does that. So if most of mankind is supposed to burn in a fuery fire in pain and torment for eternity, then how victorious does that make our Savior?? Well I believe the savior I worship is 100% victorious. I do believe god will punish the disobediant and unbelieving, but with a fathers love. And Fathers who love thier children don"t throw them into a fire. God gave everything to his Son to have authority over, and God said that everything given to Him, He would lose nothing.Jesus has authority over all creation(all mankind included).  SORRY DEVIL!!  You Lost!  God is not narrow minded, people are.

It is amazing to me, the people with the smarty answers -that continue to say there is no God and make fun, ARE the ones He shed His blood for. Can you imagine that kind of love?  Even the Bible says it is easy to be kind to someone who is kind to you. Pray for your enemies, be kind to them. Christ was the perfect example for us. \n\nTo answer your question about God not being able to watch His Son being beaten. I believe I have heard that the Father looked away when all the sins of mankind were put on His Perfect Son. That was probably the worst.

Belive in GOD!OF course,why not you got nothing to lose.Really.Think about it.If there is a NO GOD you prayed,you lived your life's buy a code,in which any person can embrass.Think of it buying insurnce for your soul.Just like you buy insurnce for your car,home.If your home,car breaks or skrew's up,your safe!But if there is no insurnce and their is a GOD your in trouble!Really what do you got to LOSE?

If you don't believe in God, how can He be immoral?\n\nI'm not mad at you, I'm just mad.  Does that still work for you?  'Cause I'm happy to share.  Not happy, exactly.\n\nWell, I would be happy if I weren't so mad.

Hang in there and trust your instincts. There is no God. It is a preposterous fairy tale and an absolutely ludicrous lie. Take a stand.  Nothing causes more pain, suffering, abuse and death then religion. The world needs more atheists.

I'm religious, but your question is still offensive.  If someone doesn't believe in God, she or he can still be "nice and kind and good".  (And, as you noted, there are religious people who are not.)  But someone who doesn't believe in God *does* lose something by somehow being forced to believe--her/his freedom of choice!\n\nJust as you have the freedom to believe in your religion, and I have the freedom to believe in what I assume is a *different* one, others have the freedom to believe that we're *both* full of crap!

God doesn't cause suffering we humans do by not obeying him.if u obey him u'll find peace in all situations and the wordly worries donot bother u anymore.i hope this story illustrates it better so read on...\n\n                      Existence of God\nThis is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen: A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. \n\nAs the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.\n\nThey talked about so many things and various subjects.\n\nWhen they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:\n\n"I don't believe that God exists."\n\n"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. \n\nTell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?\nWould there be abandoned children?\nIf God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.\nI can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."\n\nThe customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. \n\nThe barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.\n\nJust after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkept.\n\nThe customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."\n\n"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.   "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!" \n\n"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."\n\n"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."\n\n"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."\n\nMay God guide u in the right way,ameen
