Question

Those who do not believe in god what is the reason ? They want proof for gods existence ?
Or they do not trust god ? Or they are too much confident about their intelligence and will power and think they can mold their future the way in which they want ? or some other reason ? I am quite curious to know.

Answer

I think the more intelligent and confident people simply realize that brbrthere is no conclusive proof re. whether God exists or notbrbreven if God does exist, it is impossible to understand why He would create us and this universe...... a perfect entity, Omnipotent and Omniscient, can have no desire, will or purpose since any such inclination would be an imbalance or imperfectionbrbrperfect entity would also imply absolute indifference...... nothing at all can make a difference requiring any intervention or need to make any miracles or supernatural events to happenbrbrit is clear from the foregoing that the attributes of God as widely believed and emphasized by various religions seem grossly contradictory to our logic...... intelligence demands that anything not consistently logical ought to be experienced personally to be believedbrbrand finally, future is uncertain since we do not have enough knowledge to create perfect predictability and the colossal chain of cause and effect that governs the universe is too huge and complex for any of us or all of us put together to ever be able to identify and understand completely..... we can therefore be confident about ourselves or anything else for that matter, only in a limited way and to a limited extent only.brbrIn my view, therefore, it is to be expected that an intelligent and confident person would neither be able to believe totally in God nor be able to disbelieve absolutely...... such ambivalence fits in wonderfully with our personality which is irrefutably proved inconsistent and imperfect in every other way as well!! Wisdom therefore demands that we realize how small and insignificant we are after all!!brbrThere have been a few individuals over the ages, claiming personal experience of having felt the presence of God or heard the voice of God etc........ unfortunately, a majority of such claims has been ultimately found to be either a delusion or hoax, but there is no conclusive way any personal experience can either be proved or disproved..... hence even in such cases, I find it difficult to either believe or disbelieve totally. What I know for sure is the fact that I have never had any such personal experience as yet.brbrGod bless us all!!

Answer

There are many steps between Atheist and believer that you seem to have left out. You can be a believer, but not necessarily believe in the conventional sense. You can be an Agnostic, not really sure if you believe or not but willing to consider the possibility. You can believe but choose to turn away out of anger, fear, disgust, a sense of betrayal, of even because you feel estranged or uncared for.brbrYou can believe in the concept of GOD, but completely dismiss your familys, cultures, or peers understanding or what GOD is! You can believe in the Concept of GOD, but you may believe that GOD is actually something to be feared or avoided. brbrI believe in the concept of a spiritual mentor, but I do not necessarily subscribe to the quotHomogenized Word of GOD.quot The collection of books popularly known as the Bible I know too much about the history, political intrigue, manipulations foisted upon the quotchurchquot for personal and even pragmatic at the time reasons. We are too quick to put our ancestors up on pedestals where they cannot bother us or influence us, and too eager to white wash anything that seems controversial or inconvenient. It is also a peculiar form of arrogance to believe that another culture has no knowledge of what we call GOD simply because they have different cultural traditions or call our common spiritual mentor by a different name. brbrSince I am neither an Atheist or Believer however, you could say that I am a seeker! I believe that there is a spiritual existence and that I need to have a certain amount of spiritual maturity to exist in it. I believe that the spiritual realm is a purer form of reality than the playpen we are currently being nurtured in, and that I not only need to learn to play well with others before I am allowed into it, I also need to be able to be good for something. Its as simple as electricity really. I am either part of the circuit, or I am the short or the open that threatens everyone! I believe that I have made my best deal with GOD as I understand the concept and that I am doing my best to prepare for the time when I will graduate from this existence, and hopefully be ready to learn to live as a real soul. I also believe that there is a real possibility that I can still be misled, mistaken, or misdirected, and that I have to be constantly questioning and evaluating everything I believe.brbrThen again, I believe that the reason we dont see ghosts so often anymore, is that they are being grounded out by all of the modern wiring we put into houses. Quaint huh?
