Question:
Is there any way to make Atheists believe in God?
2017-03-08 23:31:49 UTC
Atheists are kind of retarded so they don't understand philosophy that well. If you try to give a philosophical argument for a God their retarded little minds can't handle it. Every Greek person knew there had to be a God. They believed they were their own God, or there was a God/Gods. But obviously you can't use a philosophical argument to prove God, you have to do it scientifically, Atheists say you have to prove it empirically with science. Which is obviously impossible, since the God you're claiming is real has no corporeal form. So it's not fair.

Is there anyway to make Atheists believe in God?

Actually, Humanism was founded by a German...over a millennium after the period you're inferring had passed.



Does "god" exist?

No one *knows*. They believe (s)he/it exists, or they don't.

That is why it's called "Faith."



As for proving "god" scientifically...make up your mind. In one line you claim you can, then you immediately claim you can't. With vacillation like that, you could apply for status as a writer of the Bible...or speech writer for a politician.



As for "making"... If the person is a true Atheist, you can't make them believe, no matter what you do.

Still pretending to be something you're not, thinking everyone is fooled by your attempt to make what you don't like look bad.



Not everyone is fooled, oh cowardly anonymous poster.....

To make an atheist believe in God, you either show evidence or remove 99% of their knowledge and make them dumb, however atheism is a relationship with reality and knowledge of everything we have discovered :)

I know this question is a typical Christian excuse to slur people who are different than them, but I'll answer it anyway. The way to make an atheist believe in a god is to provide evidence that a god exists. Simple, easy. Stupid!

Your post is very rude. Since you obviously dislike the atheists around you, I suggest you just leave them be.



Edit. Perhaps you think it is your Christian duty to try to make them believe in God. You are mistaken about that. To be able to help somebody, you would first have to learn to at least like them. So you are disqualified right there for ministry to atheists. Ask any counselor if you don't believe me. It is not possible to help someone that you personally dislike.

Besides that, according to the Bible, it is the Holy Spirit's responsibility to draw men's hearts to himself. So making it happen was never your job anyway. You are being destructive, making it less likely for people to believe. This is a sin, and I think it is time to repent.

Yes. Educate them in an educated way. And by the way. Hidayah(turning of heart) is from God only, we can just try and we are required to try.

You can't change a person's mind who can believe a birth certificate as a proof but noy the whole universe as a proof.



If they don't believe in God then how they exist? , Now they will use evolution which is total nonsense.



That single cell organism was so smart that all the life on earth exists because of it and when we transplant someone else's heart in some body, the body starts fighting against this new heart, considering this some alien attacker.



Get a life atheists.

Of course there is a way to make atheists believe in God.



Very simple: prove God exists.

That's all it takes.



Just because ancient people or modern people believe something does not mean it is actually true.

Ancient people believed the world was flat, that meat grew maggots from nothing, and that crops failed or succeeded based on human sacrifice.



Facts and evidence has nothing to do with philosophy - if you want to discuss philosophy that is your choice but it has NOTHING to do with the reality of evidence.

Show some god, our brain got low tolerance for Bs, because Religions are a jumble of false assertions, with no basis in reality and the very idea of gods is a product of the human imagination, those gods that lose their believers are in the myth section, all gods end there, is tradition.

Yes I believe there's a way, keep pushing them to go to Church with you and become their friend. Really just show them the love off Christ through your actions and make them curious about what you real!y believe in and take you time, don't shove them into believing in God they will need time so be patient and keel inviting them to chrechrurch with you.

First of all, it's very ignorant of you to blanket all atheists as "retarded" (a horribly predjudice word if you ask me). Just because you believe something that others don't, it doesn't give you the status, power or justification to patronise or name call the opposing view. You are also not considering people who have believed in god their whole lives but lost faith through tradgedy. As well as this, I am a "retarded" atheist myself. And to answer your question honestly, the reason I do not believe in god is because I was brought up in an atheist household. Being a non-believer has not made my life any different to a believer. I would only change my opinion of the existence of a god if there was physical/visual evidence. Maybe that makes me "retarded" as you say, but I commend you for having faith and confidence in a century old story with no proof of authentication. Dedication at its best.

The simple way to look at this is how can an atheist make a Christian believe there is no God?

The answer is evidence, take a look around the world in Africa there are starving people, severe poverty, lack of clean water, look at India it's the same there. There are people fighting in wars and innocent people caught in the middle, there are horrible diseases like cancers or others that cause slow painful deaths to good people. There are natural disasters that cause people to be trapped under rubble for days before they die poisonous animals etc.

just open your eyes, I'm agnostic by the way but there doesn't seem to be evidence of any god here just the Vatican and its treasures while there's so much poverty, then there's the royal family in Buckingham palace who spend millions on there weddings, the world to me is a huge tree that most people are trying to climb, the higher up the worse the fall, heres a philosophy for you how about you camp around the middle and observe the view.

2017-03-09 17:43:53 UTC
Ultimately only the Holy Spirit can turn a an atheist into a Christian. God has blessed us with God given free will & because of this we can choose to believe in God or as atheists do, suppress the truth when they really know in there heart's that God does actually exist.



And when atheists say that they want observable scientific evidence of God, well just ask them if they can give you observational scientific evidence of Macroevolution, in other words something you don't have to accept by faith as Macroevolution is apparently a "fact".



They will probably respond to you by saying something like, "well, look at what happened 65 million years ago" but then you can respond by saying, "I can't as that was 65 million years ago & because it's in the past it involves blind faith as we can't observe the past".



Whether evolutionists will concede to this or not is another matter but, evolution does and always will involve blind faith because it's a belief without evidence unlike Creationism.

You can't MAKE anyone do anything. You can go out and be an example of being a believer. People will learn the most by the way that you act more than the words that you say. You can share all your experiences and the things that Jesus has done for you. This person may not be willing to listen but there could be a person overhearing your conversation that is listening. No where is your testimony wasted when you share the Word of God..

The evidence for the existence of God is still inside them too. Like others they are living in a temporary miraculous era of God. They may be thinking that God may appear in front of them to prove Himself that He exists if they say that there is no God. Their grand parents may be scarring to tell the truth fearing to the voices of the evil spirits.

One good way is for an agent of god, such as an angel, to walk through my wall and talk to me. It would be great if that could be done with other people who are seeing and talking with him as well. I would believe at that point.



Someone just saying they feel a god is there or that it seems likely, is not convincing at all.
2017-03-08 23:34:48 UTC
Of course there is.

Provide evidence a god exists.

Any god, at all.

I can claim that pouring vinegar onto baking soda causes carbon dioxide to bubble up.

I can't MAKE anybody believe it, but the evidence is immediately visible, rigorously testable, and happens the same way every time.



If you want me to believe in a Goddess or a God, then simply demonstrate the validity of your claim, with evidence which is immediately visible, rigorously testable, and happens the same way every time.



Here's a Bonus Question:



Do you believe in the God known as Poseidon, which uses His divine Power to move the tides, every day?

Or do you believe the oceans EVOLVED the ability to move water UPHILL, against the slope of the shore?



Since Poseidon is a God, people who believe in Him are not atheists.

Are you happy that they are not atheists?

They're SO retarded. Life was SO much better like during the Middle Ages where all those smart people that believed in God and stuff ruled over Europe for like 800 years. How can i not believe in god? I totally see him every time I look in the mirror. He's so there.

I have studied philosophy so on that topic, I am not retarded. There are philosophical arguments against the existence of God. For example, Bertrand Russell and Darwin who argue against the existence of God and there are are many faults that can be pointed out with philosophical arguments that support God's existence. You can't force a group of people to convert to your belief system. Stop worrying about what others believe and concentrate on your own relationship with this entity.
2017-03-09 04:06:38 UTC
No. I'm just going to put this simply. My brother says there is no god and he's REALLY smart and so if he says it's impossible for there to be a god then it MUST be impossible for there to be a god! He's in college so he's really smart and knows a lot of stuff!

2017-03-09 03:24:45 UTC
The answer is simple. Tell them that God chose them to be born into this world, and He can just as easily take them out. If you want to get more specific, mention that God created us in this world, and he can easily take us out of this world through our thoughts within us.

You might learn that xtians mistranslated the Jewish TaNaKh and the TaNaKh has NO hell or evil beings of mythology, but only USED mythology for cover - a seal - to hide the real meaning beneath the sardonic parables that are - humorous!!!

Yes, there is a God, but he is a complete mystery and his kingdom runs by physics that are universal laws for all time; reality is his kingdom, and diverse life forms. Who are we to judge his kingdom? Do virgins get pregnant? See? You already know the answer. Do mangods get sired by God? You already know. Are we immortal? Probably not. We are just life on our paradise planet. When Adam believes he is immortal, God is written as saying - today you die. Not that anything would have made mankind immortal, but just a statement of fact.

Yes. My discovery of mankind mistranslating the scripture that makes up the first five Books of The Bible due to our lack of scientific knowledge to properly interpret the advanced scientific knowledge contained in this ancient Biblical scripture will lead to proving the existence of a Intelligent Designer named the God of Abraham Who's scientific mind is where this advanced scientific knowledge originated from and not from the unscientific minds of ancient sheep herders. My discovery will lead to forcing mankind to reinterpret this scripture from the unscientific religious interpretations we still think they mean today back into the advanced scientific text they always have been based on. This will lead to making atheists believe in the existence of at least one God out of all other gods.

No, because beliefs are accepted as true with no confirming evidence! To persuade us that God exists, you must show us some genuine evidence that meets scientific criteria. No one has ever come close to doing that in centuries that God has been worshipped. believers present only absurd lies, primitive fiction and bad reasoning. This fact alone tends to prove that God does not exist.
2017-03-09 00:15:26 UTC
You can prove or disprove anything using philosophy. Man didn't get to the Moon using philosophy. That computer you're using wasn't a product of philosophy.



Sure can prove something that isn't corporeal. Try heat, light, gravity.



Otherwise, still, no one has proved that your god exists. Mere believing there is a god isn't philosophical proof. LOL!

You cannot MAKE anyone a Christian. That is something they have to decide they want to do. You can tell them about it, present evidence and how they can become a Christian, but that is all. You could present all the hard evidence you want (which in my experience there is) and live the best way a Christian can, but if someone doesn't want to be a Christian, that's their choice and you have to be okay with that.

Friend, the very first gods were invented by atheists. Essentially people believe in gods today for the same reasons they did when gods were invented.



It may be impossible for you to fathom that one day the Christian god may be in a comic book next to Thor. However, 2000 years ago no one would have imagined that the earth was actually round.

My girlfriend asked me to go to Mass with her, as she does so every week...so I did. I was fascinated and my inherent curiosity had me studying its meaning. As I learned I wanted to continue going because I enjoyed understanding it more with each time. This happened just before Lent and, when Lent came, I decided I wanted to see what it felt like to be a believer, out of curiosity again, so I promised I'd "give up my atheism" for Lent. This meant eliminating all the negatives a lifetime had convinced me regarding religion in general and belief in God in particular. It was a form of Method Acting and I looked at it with anticipatory fun and excitement.



So, for the next 40 days of Lent I prayed at least 3 times a day, thanking God, etc. I went to Mass every week, sometimes more (even on my own!) and I participated in all but the Communion, since that wasn't allowed. During Mass, though, I started feeling left out in that I wanted to experience communion.



After Lent I had this "tugging", meaning that I felt a need to continue going to Mass, which thrilled my girlfriend of course, but I even felt this need while on vacation, something that my girlfriend didn't previously do, until I insisted that I wanted to. Also, praying started to feel comforting to me and so that continued too, even more than 3 times a day as I found myself automatically saying to myself little, short prayers.



By the time the new year started, after 58 years of being an ardent atheist, I started to clearly see that, whether God existed or not, it felt right for me to believe. I enjoyed my Church going and joined the RCIA there, which (while attending the classes) made me appreciate the centering I felt as I absorbed the lessons into my life.



Call it self hypnosis, whatever. I decided to become Catholic. It's my own personal decision and I don't talk much about it to anyone but my girlfriend, now fiance. It's right for me, now.



I never thought I'd marry again, never thought that, if I would marry again, it'd be in a Church. I never thought much about God, unless someone forced me to defend my unbelief. But, here I am.



Perhaps patience, living your life as a Catholic/Christian, inviting an atheist to Mass while later explaining what he saw, and your love will work the miracle you want, and perhaps it won't. It can happen but if it will, it will be his decision.

Yes, by having simple proofs that he exists. People often compare a "belief (I call it a confidence)" in evolution to a Christians belief in God. That's total nonsense though. Evolution is the result of over a century of experiment and observations. It wouldn't be labeled a "theory" if the evidence wasn't quite convincing. Religion, on the other hand, requires blind faith, just as it has for the last several thousand years. There hasn't been one shred of evidence of any god, anywhere, at any time. If this is the case, it's hard to imagine there ever being any proof. Just because we don't understand (yet) how the universe came to be, and the circumstances of the big bang and the origins of the first single cell organisms diesnt mean "God did it!" That's academic laziness. Thank God for science! If you'll pardon the pun.

That's not even greek philosophy. Aristotelian philosophy believed in prime matter and god that caused it to change form into the universe. It's the medieval philosophers who believed all that nonsense about an empty vacuum that was filled up by the invisible man in the sky.



You're a complete idiot, and philosophy is garbage.

Uhm...?



Besides being an insulting, your argument is also completely off-point.



That people have always delusionally believed in some invisible skydaddies and skymommies, and have believed that gods interfered in their lives, what is your point?



Do you believe that Zeus and Hera and Athena and Apollo actually existed? No? Then...how do you explain the fact that the Greeks (like the Norse, like the Romans, like the various Germanic tribes, the Celts and the various Native American (both South and North) all "knew" that their gods existed, and their gods were the only "true" gods?



Just like Christians and Muslims and Jews and so on, today? You see my point? Primitive, pre-scientific people often believed in gods, because that was the only way for them to explain otherwise mystifying events like volcanic eruptions and storms and celestial events, as well.



But today, anyone with a fully-functioning brain and the courage to think critically will see that we no longer need the fairy tales which gods are based on to explain cosmic, celestial and earthly events.



Go back to school, gain some education, as well as some experience in actually using that lump of gray matter between your ears, and come back. We'll talk then.

Utah has the means to make any dead person,

(i.e, Atheist, Moslem, or any other matter of

personal belief), Mormon, using paperwork.

Saved at last without any Christian influence.

Perhaps my reader should convert the dead,

too, to make people just like your self. Just

be advised the LDS won't make my reader a

Mormon after you die if you post Utah your

written dismissal of being converted if dead.

I have no cause to suspect Utah would 'lose'

your paperwork once you're safely dead. Go

have a nice day. Think about it.

Introduce them.



I was thinking the other day how weird it is that Christians hardly ever claim to have visions of God.



They see saints, the Madonna, occasionally Jesus, but old Yahweh/Jehovah has hardly been glimpsed in centuries.



Maybe he appears to people and says stuff like "Don't mention my name, and you never saw me, right?"



The term "Jehovah's Witness" seems weirdly ironic.

The best way to make atheists believe in God is to prove to them that God exists. Philosophical arguments that have been previously refuted a thousand times won't cut it.



Don't feel too bad that you can't prove it. Theologians have been failing to do so for centuries.



Incidentally, you might find atheists more willing to listen to your arguments if you treated them with respect instead of hurling insults like "retarded" at them.

"Atheists say you have to prove it empirically with science. Which is obviously impossible, since the God you're claiming is real has no corporeal form. So it's not fair."



That is not our problem, it is your problem for believing in something that is by definition unfalsifiable. Philosophical word games won't change reality either.

No it is not possible! the opening of ones eyes is a Spiritual event by the grace(appointment) of God only, and the only starting point that can help is a persons humility and desire to know God for the right reasons, all else is pointless, Satan has confused knowledge about God by creating countless Religions which are all in his hands, and which steer people away from pure Truth and ultimately God, all of this has been facilitated and perpetuated by unwitting and willing mankind.

Maybe my grandfather was a freemason and always use to say, only a fool believes humans are the only thing here. Everything has a story, an athiest will believe what they want but at the end of the day you cannot convince me that God devil ect don't exist, and that humans don't have a purpose. I can't shake the fact that something bigger is out there, but I'm pretty sure if an unbeliever seen the devil he would still deny it, because he wouldn't want to believe (don't understand why) but maybe it's fear?

God is not Logical. He is Spiritual. You believe in God because you have opened your heart and soul to Him. Your evidence of His existence is the peace and love you feel in your soul because God resides there. Atheists have their hearts, minds, and souls closed to the existence of God. They cannot believe in Him because they do not feel Him, because they won't let Him in.



You cannot force anyone to believe in God. All you can do is tell them your own experience. It's like showing someone a door and telling them that Paradise lies behind it. But at the end of the day, it's up to that person to open the door and walk through it. You can't do it for them!

I cannot understand why it is so important to some people to force those who's beliefs differ from theirs to join them in a belief in a god.

For those Atheists who like me live happily alongside many devoutly religious people, respecting them as they respect us, this never arises.
?
2017-03-09 10:31:05 UTC
Absolutely none!



The only way primitive religion exists today is through the child abuse of forcing it into very, very young children but thanks to better education and growing intellects so many teens are able to discover the truth, throw off the indoctrination and step into the real world!



Atheism is not a conscious decision or a belief but a realisation, those that cannot escape remain prisoners of their conditioning!



The first person to produce a single tiny little piece of verifiable evidence for any god will become world famous and mega rich!



Academia states that in the absence of any sort of evidence of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable evidence is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.



Research shows education reduces religious belief but each year of education more than the basic reduces it by 10%!



Nobody living in reality would ever convert to a fantasy!

No one is going to accept anything presented as evidence, since it's a single book supporting it's own thesis. I might be convinced with a good personal testimony though. Not "Jesus saved me from my sins, because we all sin anyway, and we all die anyway. What did your salvation do for you that we can see?
Talmidah
2017-03-09 09:50:33 UTC
ALWAYS, just the same way a person of any other religious belief is able to come believe in Jesus Christ and accept His forgiveness and Him as their Savior.

. The PERFECT example that i can think of is Lee Strobel, an investigative reporter who was an atheist. He decided to prove how Jesus Christ was a lie but as he did his research, he found that he was proving just the opposite --- so that he had no other choice but to accept Jesus Christ's forgiveness and asking Him to be his Savior. He documents the information he found in his book, "A Case for Christ" but has written many similar investigate books since.

. But there are MANY other prominent people i could list, too.

Do you want to do what God refuses to? He says "choose"....it is His

free gift to us to send His Son to die for us and in our place, but then

it is up to us...choose His Son...or not. Do you believe God, or not?

Read John 3:16...God's plan to save all of us...if we want Him to!

I don't ask for much. Lets see one of these miracles you keep going on about. A nice and spectacular one that breaks all known physical laws in the universe. I'm sure God could manage that couldn't he? All the infinite omnipotent power he has? Just one good miracle?

And no I don't mean some David Blaine BS. It's got to be an act that leaves no doubters.
