I do NOT believe in god

[Falconer02]

YES.

That's not what I meant. If we found out there was a God then Atheists couldn't cope knowing there were going to Hell for all the stuff they did against God.

If this god character turned out to be real, I would be very, very confused.  My husband says it best: "I would think it'd be more likely that aliens are f**king with us than it actually being god".

First question: which god?  If it's determined to be Yahweh, the god of aforementioned hell, it won't be just atheists going there but 4 billion other people who aren't Christians.  I would ask this god why he behaves like such a 2-year-old and created a world where all of our science and logic points AWAY from him??

I wouldn't feel bad for "all the stuff I did against god", because I truly didn't have evidence that he existed, so how could I be at fault?

Are you speaking for yourself and how you feel? Because that is not how I feel. It matters now because it is happening now. Who cares what happens after you die. You need to live in the now. The point of living is to live. Life is not pointless if you live it. Don't be so concerned about the next chapter and finish the one you are in now.

It's not so much a matter of how I feel, it's the truth.  I do think my realization of there not being a god and this is all there is DOES play some role in how I conduct myself.  I am the opposite of a lot of the status quos, for example.  I truly think for myself and make decisions for my lifestyle based on me rather than what society wants/expects me to do.

I agree life matters now if you've decided to hang around and see it out.  I know not to take things too seriously and instead make it a point to have as many rich EXPERIENCES as possible (travel the world, for example).

People change, Peoples beliefs change, People can change overnight. Just because I said something one day doesn't mean I have to stand by it the rest of my life. So if that is contradiction...then so be it.

People "can" change, but more often they don't...they remain the same basic person, with both good and bad qualities.  People who constantly change their most basic stances on things are known as flakes.

Figured all these people are posting about how they think god exists and blah, blah, blah.......so I thought I'd create my own topic.
I do not believe nor will I ever.  You can preach and testimony all you want, I grew up a Catholic, and was one until about two years ago.  I have researched, studied, and believed until that point.  I know alllll about being a christian, faith, god, etc.
Personally, I don't believe anyone should rub it into anyone's face that they are goin to hell for not believing...
That they are wrong for not believing...
That the person preaching is better than the non-believers or feels sorry for the non-believers because they don't believe...

Everyone is equal.  We need to respect ourselves, respect our fellow man, and respect our earth before we give respect to some statue who we 'think' died on a piece of wood.  Doesn't the bible tell you not to worship man-made idols?  Well, were you there at the time of christ?  Isn't the bible a tool of a man-made idol IE the cross?  Isn't the figure of your christ on a cross in churches an idol?  Furthermore, how do christians believe so differently amongst themselves...IE..Baptists, Catholics, Etc....... They all condemn each other because they all interpret the bible differently.  It's all very silly to me.  I believe in equality, I belive in peace and justice and love.  I don't believe there is some evil(my definition) person waiting for me at some pearly gates telling me that I lived badly so he can send me to hell.  Too many evil doers, injustices, and just plain nastyness in this would to suggest to me that someone is watching over us. 

I believed there are a God who guide us through life even though we have difficult in life.  I also believe one there are another life after this life.  I'm a religious and I proud of myself.  Even though a lot of difference believe out their but all their belief only teach you the right out of life even you religious or Budda.  How you live in life is important, not what other live can effect your faith do you agree?

I really think you use your head (think) too much. Some things are better left to be felt with the heart, as in love. Do you really love anyone or just use logic and over analyze everything?

I personally know people who "use their heads" even more so than me.  There are some who claim that every act of the universe is already determined, and we as humans are really just along for the ride.  Every choice we make in life we would make again if we were put in the same exact condition, in other words.  That is hard for even me to accept, even if it might be true.  I like to be a little more positive, optimistic, and joyous than that.  And yes, I do have the capacity to love certain people.

Well looks to me like this thread is approaching an interesting Number of replies lol

[chimere78]

honestly, who really cares if someone believes in God or not? Just worry about yourselves. Everyone has their own opinion about EVERYTHING. If I believe in God, I believe in God. If the person next door doesn't believe in God then that's there opinion. Not for me to worry about it....

But we need to know who's going to hell and all, psh!

The problem is it infiltrates areas where being rational is a dire aspect. It creates irrational logic being applied to that aspect which can affect more people than just yourself. Politics is a good example.

No WE don't. That's for God to know. Why do WE need to know who's going to heaven or hell?
