Why do we need proof to believe in god?

What proof is there that he doesn't exist? Frankly I think it would diminish religion if there was scientific evidence God existed. Then you can't call it "faith" anymore.greeneye59

If there was evidence then Religion would become the dominant power of the world,shadowing all governments.How did you come to the conclusion it would go away?The reason why people don't take religion seriously is because they don't believe in god,if they knew he existed then they would change there ways in a heartbeat,people also choose to be arrogant and dismiss any teachings about sin,sin didn't just appear in the last 100 years,it's been here since the dawn of man.The bible is supposed to drive you away from Satan's temptations.

You could have left your post at that and your point would still stand. Including atheists is just flamebaiting.

Wait. Are you talking about beliefs or believers?

becouse believe killed more human beings than athiest havewhoody12

We're all all going to die sooner or later,better to die a believer than a non-believer.

Show your gratitude to god for the life he's given you for 100 years and spend eternity in his divine happiness or rebel and succumb to the devils temptations and suffer with him in hell for eternity..the choice is yours...

Or spend eternity in Hades, or Niffelheim... Or in Hell anyway since you were a Christian instead of a Muslim and dared to elevate a normal man (albeit a prophet) to the level of God Himself.

Anyway, everyone dies a believer, just with different beliefs.

A planet convinced overnight, billions of souls saved, and all we'd lose is this hoop that god makes of jump through called "faith?" Sounds like a fair trade to me. Why does God put so much value in faith? What does faith benefit God, or us? If God is complete and everlasting love, and is concerned with our souls, why the mystery? What richness does faith endow on a Christian that would be utterly ruined if God came down and shook your hand? You can only truly love a deity that plays games with you? If God is straightforward, what, the thrill is gone?

Finally on the topic of faith, your fellow Muslim/Jew/Hindu/Buddhist has the exact same kind of rich, warming faith that you do... according to Christians an incorrect misguided faith. So faith can be bad, except for you, right?

And what happens if you choose wrong, because you are born in the Middle East and worship Allah?

There is proof. ;)
It just takes a while to find it, if you do.
And even if you do. It's a personal experience that you can't tell people in words.
That's what this world needs to stop with. Not everything can be said in words. If it could, I would write one book and the whole world changes.
Weslii

Let's be a bit more precise with the language, shall we? There is faith, there is evidence, but there is no proof. Evidence and proof are not the same thing.

Well if they kill then they will go to hell,weather or not they are religious,being a christian doesn't exempt you from committing sin,it's supposed to stop you doing it in the first place.If you killed for the sake of your religion,then you've not fully understood it,if you we're unaware of your actions then you can seek repentance if you don't seek repentance therefore you knew what you were doing and killed in full awareness then you've committed a mortal sin and when your judgement day comes you will perish.

Well sin is pretty much the same in most religions,stay away from it and you won't go to hell,you could have no religion and still go to heaven.Morals are morals,there's no disputing that.

But not believing in the right god(s) can be considered a sin. Heck, plenty of Christians here will be glad/sad to tell you that you're going to Hell if you don't accept Jesus as your lord and saviour and what-not and original sin and blah blah.

If you do a good deed,it's a good deed,doing a good deed for the sake of doing a good deed doesn't turn it evil,good and evil aren't at one,there not interchangeable,if the bible for example makes you think before you do a bad deed,then that's a good thing,it's not a sin that the bible can teach you moral rights if you stray on the wrong path.Therefore it can make you a better person,making up for your mistakes,therefore repentance.

Atheists don't think they "appeared out of thin air", and I think you know that. You can say "what was before the big bang," but that essentially is cancelled out by the question of "what was before God."

You make it sound like an atheist is engaged in a deliberate and dynamic act, "set on going against God." It's not like that at all. It's more like, well, nothing. If you've made the "leap of faith", then I have not leapt. Not doing something isn't really an action, it is the lack of an action.
