Atheists, why do you believe that God Isn't real?

Question

Just because bad things happen in life it doesn't really mean that God Ian't real. God gave us all freedom and freewill to choose to do what ever we want to do in life. God didn't put us on Earth to suffer in life, he put us on Earth so we can be happy, God is nothing physical he is a spiritual being if he showed up you wouldn't believe it was him so what's your deal? I don't want none of your meme's, no sarcasm, no jokes.I want realistic answers from you people.

Answer 1

Atheists, why do you believe that God Isn't real?



- Zero proof for a start.



Just because bad things happen in life it doesn't really mean that God Ian't real.



- Some brain dead fundie said that years ago and idiots continue to regurgitate it. It is absurd.



God gave us all freedom and freewill to choose to do what ever we want to do in life.



- But if you don't do exactly what you want he will torture you forever, that is not free will.



God didn't put us on Earth to suffer in life, he put us on Earth so we can be happy,



- And yet so few people are.



if he showed up you wouldn't believe it was him



- Typical fundie thinking they are omniscient.



.I want realistic answers from you people.



- You did, you think you know exactly what all of us think and how we would ask.

Answer 2

And again, you get it backwards.



It's isn't "believe that god isn't real"

it's "not believe god IS real"



There is a BIG difference between the two. The way you stated it assumes that god is real and that atheists are making an effort to not believe. You are assuming your conclusion, turning the claim on its head, and trying to place the burden of proof on atheists. This is false reasoning, but sadly, quite common among theists.



The second, correct statement, places the burden of proof where it belongs - on YOU.

YOU make the claim that a god exists.

YOU have the burden to provide evidence supporting your claim.



The reason atheists don't believe in your god is simple - in the thousands of years that people have been writing down their history, for the thousands of gods who have been named, described, worshiped, and eventually forgotten, not a single shred of verifiable, testable, solid evidence has ever been provided, to support any of those gods.



Not one piece.



THAT'S why atheists don't believe you - the long history of complete and utter failure by theists. This is just one more in a long line of religious fantasies.

Answer 3

Atheist Why do you Believe god isn't Real ?



Lets start do people in society Think Zeus is REAL how about THOR ? I suspect the people in that culture thought Zeus and Thor were Real . people wrote about them prayed to them worshiped Them Believed in them . not any different then ones god and about the same time period perhaps ones god if ones god is the the one of the OT and NT Bible so how is ones god different ? Is it MATERIAL ?



Lets try reality has there been HUMAN beings claiming gods ? Yes what do ALL religions have in Common a person claiming a god exist who starts the idea



So If another human being had not told you of the god in writing or Oral would you Know of the God ?



Discovered it yourself without other humans maintaining the idea ?



ARE GODS SELF EVIDENT WHY are they NOT



who PROFITS off of perpetuating gods?



Religious leaders power control regulators authority and money



I have no proof of gods and a long history of man perpetuating them for their own gain one does not get to make up their own definition of REAL defined as actually existing as a THING occurring in FACT ( indisputable ) NOT imagined or supposed ones car & house is real parents are real coworkers and family are real



One might wish to look into religions history records of years of CONs perpetrated on people to get them to pay the religious leaders who maintained the con of the Supposed projected god it still goes on today i have no proof any claims of gods ever existed So One accepts a talking burning bush and a Jesus may have existed and believed it also because that probably was what he was taught also



But we also dont have a gospel from a Jesus so we only have 2nd hand hear say of what others claimed he said or believed



thank you for the question

Answer 4

I don't "believe god isn't real". I don't believe there is a god. BIG difference. The reason I don't believe there is a god is simple. There is not one tiny bit of evidence to support even the possibility of any god.

Answer 5

Atheists, why do you believe that God Isn't real? Just because bad things happen in life it doesn't really mean that God Ian't real



Ahhhhh.....look at da little Christian toddler boldly lisping out the requisite regurgitated garbage while teetering so precociously on its fat little legs. It'd be ssoooooo cute if it weren't so demmed annoyingly stupid and retarded. Rolls eyes



Let me spell it out for you......Mommy and Daddy lied when they told you people didn't believe in god because something terrible happened to them. LMAO

Answer 6

I don't believe that God Isn't real. I don't believe that God is real.

Answer 7

"Bad things" have nothing to do with why I don't believe that your deity, or anyone else's for that matter, exists. No theistic belief system out of the thousands that have been practiced in human history, has ever produced a single shred of objective evidence that their deity is real.

For a deity that supposedly wants us to be happy, he's not doing a very good job.

Answer 8

you know when you hear of other religion's gods and you dismiss them



that is exactly how I see all religions



but it isn't so much as I believe god isn't real as much as I don't believe in the depictions of god in human literature, and as that is the only source or proof then I reject it



all of it, I do not make a separate caveat to allow the improbability of the arbitrary religion of my indoctrination

Answer 9

What's your reason for believing that God IS real? You can't act like you have the most reasonable position when you provide no reasons.

Answer 10

Why do you believe that wizards aren't real? That's the reason I believe gods aren't real.



There's simply no evidence either of those exist outside the imagination of superstitious people.

Answer 11

OK, for the next several minutes, let's pretend to agree that at least ONE of the Gods which have been believed in, actually exists.



Oh, come on, let's be respectful to ALL religions, and pretend that at least HALF of them exist.



Here's a fellow asking for ANY evidence that the Universe was created by only ONE, and not by a whole TEAM of them.

Have you any proof that the Universe was not created as a team effort, by at least one QUARTER of the Gods and Goddesses as have been believed?

Answer 12

Answer 13

Why do you insist I don't believe in him due to bad things happening in life?



I don't believe in a non-physical spiritual being the one who created life on Earth. I do not believe that was how life on Earth was created.

Answer 14

Atheists believe that God isn't real because they want to be their own moral rulers. It is uncomfortable to atheists to feel guilt when they sin, and they try to remove their guilt by denying the God who establishes moral rules and duties. It is a classic case of cognitive dissonance: It is easier to change your mind than to change your behavior.

Answer 15

I don't "believe" your magic fairy is bullsh!t. I'm 100% certain it's bullsh!t. Magic is not real therefore your moronic Magic Man fantasy is impossible.

Answer 16

It's not about the problem of evil, but the lack of real testable evidence of any God.

Answer 17

Answer 18
