A combination of the problem of evil and finding God to be an unnecessary complication in explaining the natural world.

Because I don't believe in invisible beings that control everything? I mean in the long run the main reason why I don't believe in god is because I have yet to ever see anything to make me think something else is out there such as a creator. I know people who believe in god will say just look around at the beauty in life and thats all the proof you need but that is not enough for me. Short of him coming down in front of my face I will never believe in a divine creator.

Because it seems to me, if god does exist, god has no control over what happens in our world. So unlike most, believing in god gives me no comfort.

I don't believe in God because ... wait a second, I do! But I believe in God due to many reasons, not simply one simple argument that explains it all. If I were to explain why I believed in God then I'd end up writing a dissertation.

Because I find the concept utterly ridiculous.

I do however posit that there is more to the human experience than most people rightly well know, and mystical religious experience (that is an experience coming from either the conscious or subconscious mind, such as "feeling God's love") is too often mis-labeled as a divine or supernatural event, when in fact it is merely rooted in the psyche and experienced subjectively by the person involved.

Why jump to the supernatural explanation when simpler and more natural explanations could easily suffice?

He didnt create himself. Creation is relevant to a beginning the beginning is relevant to time since god created time time does not apply to god. Therefor god has no begninng. no end no middle. Mind= blown yet?

I believe in God! I mean, if when we die we don't go anywhere then life itself is pointless and that is why so many people are depressed in our world! God is real, have you seen all the miracles he has done! He created this amazing earth, all the people, even the smallest creatures, he created! Do you believe in that science crap that we are just creatures made out of chance and have no one who is always watching over us and protecting us? That is just sad if we didn't...

Why did a god have to create time and the universe? We were meant to exist, and that's not because some god popped out of nowhere to make us.

This is the same argument that my real dad used to throw at me because he believes in god. Every time I hear it I facepalm in real life.

edit - No offense to you and your belief's even though I know I came off as pretty offensive likely. You are allowed to believe in whatever you want of course. Just saying this argument always gives me a headache.

Why are you questioning the motives of a being with a mind so much more complex than your feeble mind, you cannot even begin to imagine. You don't understand his motives because he is higher than you. He is 1000x more complex. It is the same as if i told you 2+2=5 Does not compute? Exactly.

There are various views of how God interacts with time. Every orthodox view of God's dealing with time holds that he is not bound by it and exists outside of its boundaries. Some views within those orthodox views include but are not limited to God creating time and time merely being an illusion that we ourselves create to make sense of what is going on. As far as your second statement, are you trying to argue that there is purpose and design in the universe without a "purposer" or designer?

According to science

the chance of us being created is

1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

I know since mathematics is infinite and so is space eventually you would HIT that 1 in that large number.

Since if according to science. The science way of time applies as there was no creator who created time.

Thus time is infinite by itself. Thus since time is infinite and so is mathematics. Eventually you would hit that 1 in large number. Eventually you will win the lottery if you have inifnite years to live.

You clearly missed my point. I am not questionning motives, I am saying that I don't want to call whatever created us a god.

Whats your reason?

GrandTheftDog

Does anyone need a reason? Isn't I don't care good enough. I don't think there is any elaborate or relevant explanation. If you're gonna ask someone why they don't believe in something you may as well ask them why they don't believe in Sponge Bob Square pants. They never ponder WHY they don't believe in sponge Bob, they just don't.

I guess it just comes down to the fact that some people are scientific or while others are fanciful. When I use the term methodist I mean they keep things andlive bytheory & method. To them pondering only goes as far probable or improbable.

I Believe time spent believing is time waisted.

True, this is mostly how I think. I don't doubt that there is some creative force behind the universe, but why he would make humanity the pinnacle of his creation is beyond me, and why would he want to be worshipped? Sounds almost tyrannical...

Absolutely, which is why we were meant to exist, which is why god wasn't necessary for us to exist.
