atheists have a point. how can we talk them about worshipping a God most of us have never seen or even heard from.i think if God just showed us he exists one time without it being the rapture the world be a much better place.i mean what proof do we truly have he exists ? the bible. to me its like the bible is a big story book but it doesn't help with the problems of today. on the other hand you ask an intelligent atheist some questions and they have answers and facts you can see to back up what they say . so if God would just show up once we could have some proof and know all our praying and trying to live by God's law have not been in vain.

He has shown He is real...



1. Jesus

2. The Bible

3. The universe and how it is designed

4. The personal testimonies of others.



How much more does a person require?



The whole truth of the matter is...it is NOT that God hasn't shown the world...it is that the world is willfully blind and ignorant.



Romans 1:18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;



19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.



20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:



21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.



22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,





So world...stop lying...it is not that you want to believe in God but just cant cause there's no evidence...it is rather that you deliberately do not want to believe in God.

Now you see the view point of atheists. If a god, any god, actually revealed themselves through physical means, i am pretty sure every single person on this earth would convert to whatever religion that god is, unless of course they are just mentally insane or something. But honestly, why did god interfere so much in the bible, but he does not show ANY proof he exists nowadays? I will tell you why, because the Bible is just a book. Nothing more. You cannot prove that it is true. I could write a book about some random elephant i claim to be the savior of this earth, and write about all the amazing things he has done, and say my book is the truth, and if you do not follow it, you will go to hell. This is basically what the bible is doing, the bible is a primative storybook that has many flaws and even contradicts itself in so many ways...

No. I have never wondered why God "doesn't show that He is real" because He has and does. He showed the world that He is real when Jesus left Heaven to dwell among us as one of us (John 1:1, 14). He shows us that He is real in His Creation (Romans 1:18-25). He shows us that He is real through His divinely-inspired written word (Psalm 119). The Lord God Almighty is real whether people choose to acknowledge His existence and sovereignty or not. Yet, there will come a day when every knee will bow (Romans 14:11). Repent and acknowledge Him as your Lord today, before it is everlastingly too late.

Delusional? Millions of christians delusional? hahahaha.

Atheist: Christians understand that spiritual things are comprehended by spiritual means.

there is proof and many people have seen God, and their testimonies are written down. If God appeared to all of us, the sacredness of his existence will end. Only those who are pure in heart and those with clean hands will see God,

not lazy, ignorant, curious atheist. Even though God has shown Himself to few atheist and they still don't believe in him, (Miracles do not produce faith, but Faith produce miracles)



Cain is an example he rejected God right in front of god's presence and he followed Satan.

Why atheist are so controversial with Christ and christians, have they read at least one the Bible?

NO, and that's why they just talk pure nonsense crap.

God DID show up once.

He bore our sin on the cross.

He rose from the dead.



Deuteronomy 4:29

But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.



Mat 6:33

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.



People can not find God simply because they are not looking for Him. They spend much more time seeking out what the enemies of God have to say, and looking for reasons not to repent of sin.



If you want to find God, start with some simple reasoning.

God wants you to do what He wants you to do. Therefore, He will not play keep away with that information. He gives instructions about what He wants us to do. First you need to know that He exist. ASK HIM.



If you have your mind made up that you do not want God in your life, that you do not want your life to change, that you want to keep your sin, you have a real good chance of never finding God. He said to seek Him out. Search for Him. Be ready to respond when you discover for yourself that God exist, and that you are in need of salvation.



If you sit all day long pondering how nothing magicly big banged itself or evolved itself into everything, then you are not seeking God, you are walking away from Him. Deeper into darkness.

It doesn't matter. Christians are only on this site to seek confirmation bias. Their ignorance and disdain for atheists or rationalists on here proves it daily.



Regardless of the fact that American society is awash in pro-christian propaganda for profit, the bible is about as valid as astrology. Religion will fade into obscurity if enough people get wise to this fact. WHO is going to be here 50 years from now to replenish the religious right of today?



There has never been ANY proof of paranormal activity. Only stories.



"He has shown us he is real" yes they are THAT crazy.



And oh yes! The bible is proof that God is real because the bible said so! (kidding)

God never show himself coz freedom for human i.e people freely choose there path(good,bad)if God show himself in front of this world's people then never ever a person going to do anything wrong mean he will become sure he is going to burn in hell if he done anything wrong, so this is the point why God never show himself in front of people,God want people freely without any fear choose there path and then satan kind of people burn in hell.

God shows that he is real every day. He has created this masterpiece we live in called earth. He also created everyone in it. What is there to show? Your clothes, food, shelter, friends, family, you name it he made it. And In case this isn't enough information and you still doubt God, just read the bible. It talks about how he helps people every day. And how we all should.

I feel like a lot of people on here need to do more research before they come on here being ignorant. I am not even a christian and i know that the bible they read says "we walk by faith not by sight". geez

He has shown us he is real. And he continues to do so. Whether its by the means that you like or not. He showed himself to us 2000 years ago. And he continues to show the faithful he is there. If you have faith, he will show himself to you.

No. If anyone is being real with God, God will show them God that He is real. If they are faking it, then they will never see Him.
