god help: im 15 and i dont believe in god i go to a youth group sometimes - Help.com

What are the reasons you don’t believe in God?

he just doesnt seem possible

do you not believe in god, or do you not believe in church/ organized religion?

For instance, i believe in a god, or some sort of creator, but i don’t agree with church. i dont’ see why i should have to go to a specific place to pray and empty my wallet.

i feel if i live my life responsibly, do good unto others, and all of that, then this god, or creator, or whatever will see that i tried to live a good life, and help me after life.

just my $.02

So. . .there is absolutely nothing in your existing life that indicates His existance to you?

i dont think a god made this world how could of he? i believe it might have been a story that got told wrong somewhere down the line. this world was probably a little atom or whatever. i believe there is no after life . so no heaven or hell. i think its silly that people just waste their lives on him. theres no scientific evidence he existed is there?

There wouldn’t be scientific evidence, because science hates god.

science hates god….??

Science is the opposite of religion, really. Hence evolution, and all that jazz.

they’re not going to support each other.

Well. . .I somewhat disagree, my friend. The fact that there is a science to begin with is self evident to His existance among many other proofs. The science tool, in and of itself, is a tool highly abused by man.
If you are confident in yourself, maybe you could try saying to yourself tommorow. “Today, there is a God and I want see what there is that would tell it to me in such a way as to give me the benefit of the doubt.”

i see…i mean why do we have to believe in him?? how do we know if any of that after life and stuff is true if we’ve never experienced it before??

People who are blind from birth don’t have to believe that the sun shines. But it does, regardless of what they believe. The existance of God, like the sun is going to exist, regardless of belief, because the two dwell in a realm of fact.

but there isn’t any evidence to prove he does exist…

There are many who would agree with you, however. . . Yes there is. That evidence is divided into two categories: 1:The external, material world, where-by evolution cannot account for true intelligent design, and 2. The internal,unseen world that is not seen but definately felt.

For peple you are blind at birth, evidence of the sun is beyond their reach, but for those that can see, we know it’s there.

ok….what explains jesus??

Well. . .the Bible explains Jesus. But for now, I’m not sure of the context of that question. Expand, please>

i dont have any problems with any one that believes in god………………..why would jesus say he was the son of god and how did they first think of god and to believe in him something must have happened…..

I feel the same way you do to a certain extent. I don’t actually believe in god, but i do believe in a higher being. I feel many believe in god and in going to church because its a sense of security. In today’s world i bet a lot of people need that. So if you don’t believe in god, then that’s your belief. It does not matter what your parents, friends, or anyone else believes. That’s what you believe. You also must accept others beliefs, even if you dont agree, everyone should accept everyone beliefs. There are just as many horrible people that go to church as good people that go to church. so just because you don’t believe in god, does not make you a bad person, you just have different beliefs.

Tarrahg, if you omit “God” and say you believe in a higher power, by deduction, that higher power is a god. I don’t say this to offend you but the statement is oxymoron. The expression of faith is not a security blanket - although for many it is, but it dosen’t make people weak. And you are correct to say that bad people go to church because, that’s what it’s about. And no not going to church dosen’t make you a “bad” person.

Ok, ask yourself… do you NEED to believe in god in the first place?
Sure, it’s great if people can believe if it helps them, so long as they don’t use it to judge others, but there’s a different answer for everyone.
Look at things YOUR way, not the way people might want you to think. Make up your own mind.

Anonymous. . .what sort of chuch group have you been attending? Baptist, Jehovah’s Witness, Mormon, Etc?

um christian but i only go there with my friend which was like 3 times and they do readings from the bible

I consider myself Christian. But allow me to lay aside that specific. Every religeon that has a defined belief in God will basically say that we are to lay aside our view and see it from the perspective of “God”. That is something that is specifically designed by that specific religeon, It’s a fundamental basic.

To say “Christian,” is a universal statement. Keep in mind that there are substructures within the Christian faith - different denominations. So which denomination of Christian church do you attend?

im not really sure…

Okay. Fair enough. I’ll address Jesus to the best of my ability, based on my faith. Generally, I am Christian. My vies is hybred as the result I have both a Baptist and Penticost background. With that said, even Christians have differing views.

Hang on a moment -

Basically, a Christian believes that the Bible was written by God Who used men as His pen - this is controversial inand of itself. But based on that alone, God has said that man is not within the spirit of His Will and because of that is in serious jeapordy. The idea of “sacrifice” is not an unknown issue in ANy religeon, including the Judao/Christian religeon. God was tired of sacrifices made to Him in vain. Therefore he, Himself became a mortal (to nutshell it) and became the sacrifice. He is know as the Son of Man as the result of the flesh He took on and died in. But spiritually, He is God.

To the person who wrote this post, the reason why it seems so hard to believe is because science wants everything to be logical, sensiable, explained, if it can’t be explained then why bother. What you have to ask yourself then if there is no God what is the meaning of life? I dont nesscary think science is against God, I think some theories made by man is against God, but even though science attempts to explain how everything came to its state, it cannot even attempt answer the question why? why are we here? why do we exist? the truth is, if there is no God, then if you live a somewhat healthy life you’ll live to be around 70-80 years old then you’ll die and dispate into nothing blank just like how were when u wern’t born. However, your whole life is full of passion, emotions, feelings, the will to live, the will to have purpose, the will to be loved, the will to love with all that desire and with such a dramatic life to disipate into nothing? to cease to exist? how is that logical?? I am a sociology student and I have been doing an independent study i hope to compose one day on the people who have legally been dead not some had a heart attack and stopped breathing for 15 minutes but were literally dead for hours some even days coming back and all saying very very simliar things. Now remember these people are from different countries different beliefs and they are saying they have either seen a place described as heaven and a place of desctruction called hell and what they will all agree the most is it isn’t a figment of their imagination, it is just as you are right now you have a body its a real place.

Now with that said I’m a Christian I dont bother with a denomoination to associate myself with I believe if you believe Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior and ask Him to forgive you of your sins and be with you forever you will be saved and if you stay in guidance with God’s rules which you can find in the bible. Now I always say this to the people who find it hard to believe in God and leave it as it is unless they ask for more information, is always watch Isreal, Israel is God chosen people the people He used to bring in our savior, He loves us all the same but He used these people specificially. Now you have to understand before 1948 Israel wasn’t a nation it hadn’t been one since it ceased in 70 ad by the Romans, the bible said Isreal would be restored which it was may 14 1948 then the next day the arab league of nations attacked Israel, Israel had pratcially nothing to defend itself and still won, West Point America’s military academy doesn’t even bother to study Israel’s wars because they’re outcomes are impossible Israel shouldn’t be existing right now, but somehow they are? if no one has the sense to acknowledge America’s military the superpower of the world refusing to even bother to study Israels wars and battles because they’re outcomes are impossible. So i always say watch Israel if Israel ceases to exist again then you know there is no God, and if you watch in the news the middle east will always be making world headlines its always in the news, there’s always an attempt for peace there how ironic all that is over there is hate. So as the tension rises in the middle east and the talks of peace flicker away and the attempts to wipe Israel off the map fail, hopefully people then will find it logically to believe in God

thats the point, if you could wrap your head around it then how powerful and mighty could he be? it takes faith, something i know the world is running out of, but dont let yourself run out of it. your here for a reason, your passion is unique and your life is unique. ill be praying you see him, that he speaks to you. that he ignites that passion and love that he already and always and will have for you
