here is a post i just made somewhere else...\n\nbecause there is no such thing as god, and the bible is made up. man created god, not the other way around. maybe u need to realize that people don't want to change their beliefs bc some strange person told them to. there is a kingdom hall right in front of my neighborhood and i find it really annpying when they come to my door.\nreligion was just something made up a long time ago to control people. and plus i dont know why people have so much "faith" or whatever in god and then when something bad happens to them it just god tryin to show them something, it seems made up to me. i had a friend whose parents werent religious but as a little child she still took herself to church and became all religious and stuff, and then her mom died when she was 10. hmmm.... god punishing her because she gave her life to him? needless to say she is an atheist now. i also dotn get why when people are giving thanks they say it wouldnt have been possible without god, which doesnt make any sense cuz they worked hard and did it all themselves.. .whatever.\n\ni bet i am really annoying to a lot of people but these are my beliefs, and im not saying one should have the same beliefs as me, i respect other people's religion, but not when they try to force it on me. \n\ni sound ignorant... :^(

Well..what a bunch of crap answers.  One thinks that you are \n\njudging God simply because you dare to ask a question.  Another \n\nsays that if bad things happen to you it is because you have \n\nsinned.  Or maybe it is that you dont have enough faith??!! \n\nBetter still, being bored, God spends His time TESTING \n\neveryones faith.  If we made a profile of God using the traits \n\nthese other boffins have used to describe Him, He would look \n\nlike an ugly human, not a Divine loving God.\n\n\nAs a Christian I am appalled by these missinformed, \n\njudgemental and misrepresented answers.\n\n\nMy understanding of the Bible tells me this...the reason bad \n\nthings happen to good people is because God has given \n\nhumanity "free will".  The guy next door has the free will to be an \n\nasshole and rob your house.  It is not a test from God.  God does \n\nnot make burglars steal so he can test the faith of people.  That \n\nis not the message of God in the book of Job.  I have been to \n\nBible college and I know.\n\n\nIf God took free will away from people we would all be like robots.\n\nThere is no way for God to allow us free will and to control \n\npeople at the same time.  That is why it is the CHOICE not to sin \n\nthat is so important to God.  If God controled us all, we couldnt \n\nCHOOSE not to sin.\n\nGood Luck\n\nJimmy

Im one of Jehovah Witnesses and I know what you are talking about. I ask a question and people start telling me what my faith believes, and most of the time they are soooo far off. It just bugs me that people hear from other people and automatically believe its true instead of asking the person who would know the truth.

Because they want a tangible answer (immediately) and they want a variety of viewpoints regarding their question. Sometimes we can see things more clearly if we can get a variety of viewpoints. You never know if one of the answers will give you a new perspective or bring up an aspect that you never considered. I look at it as getting all the possible information you can before asking deity, so when you do finally pray, you have a better idea of what it is that you're seeking.

lol,  dude you're killing me here.  How is it that once in every few thousand years somebody can actually come up with a legitimate question?  I like that one,  I'm non-religious so I can't really answer that,  I don't pray for people anyway.   You do realize though that this question will probably be deleted?  somebody around here has gto to be offended by this...and that's only because they won't know how to answer it

UGH!  Again, you ask a faith question and you get a bunch of answers from non-believers!  Why do they even bother?  My answer is that the people I am most close to believe and have accepted Jesus and I believe then we will all be saved.  So I will see them again in heaven.\n\nPS Did the chick above me actually say she would b*tch slap God?  That's incredibly mature.  UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Hmm, interesting question, but I sense the premisse (and I could be wrong), that atheists do not care about other people, or are worried about the happiness of people.\nI do not believe in god, but I do believe in people, and I made it my job (I'm a teacher) to teach people to think for themselves. Not blindly following words, but testing them for their truth. I don't like to put all christians on a great big heap, I know there are smart christians and dumb christians, and I admire the christians (some of them are my friend) who not only believe in god, but put their faith to the test on a daily basis, just as I try to do with my ideas and convictions. When people parrot other people, there's a great danger, because a lot of things said are said beautifully or convincing, rather than true. And it is my believe to encourage *everyone* including atheists, christians, muslims or anyone else, to make up their own mind about things.\n\nSo in a way I do care if you don't believe in evolution and do believe in god, because I want to make sure you are truly convinced of this, and actually live your life the way you chose. Not because some book or some church or some philosopher or some politician told you so, but because *you* are convinced that it is right, and have checked all the options to make this choice.

its all over yahoo answers...the questions either amount to little more than a rant about something, or the person asking is fishing for the answer they would give.  i would like to the think that the best answer would actually be just that, the answer that though its not what one wants to hear is the most informative or interesting...but nope...heck even some of my best answers have not been the best of the ones posted for a question.\nthe religious section is filled with it as well, like when someone asks, "is there a god, what do we need god for?" they seem to just be looking for someone to say of course and post the bible passage that says so, when it could be an interesting discussion.\nmore people just think they are right and want it validated i guess rather than to feel challenged...

These people dont know sh!t! No body knows, so they cant solicit advice about something they have no clue about. Its all based on speculation and assumption. No body knows for certain, but its what you want to believe. No body knows if god really exists, but almost all the world believes in him. Find out for yourself rather than asking these ignorant folks on yahoo. And while your at it... maybe take a spelling lesson or two. G-H-O-S-T ... you typically learn that in 2nd grade.

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.

As an atheist, I have tried to grasp how believers in a god can actually believe. Many religious people have deemed this annoying and respond with hostility because their faith comes under question. And contrary to what people above me have said, we DO have beliefs. Just different (which to some people means none at all). I believe in science and proven fact. I have discussed my beliefs, and come under attack, because if people of faith can understand where I stand, they can further help me understand where THEY stand.

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.

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!!
