Do You Know Why You Don't Believe? (beliefs, experience, atheist)

So why is God different?

Why don't you trust that the Bible accurately portrays God? Why don't you believe in the God of the Qur'an or in the Oddessy and Illiad. Once you understand why I don't believe in those things, you will understand why I do not believe in the Urantia Book either.

The wave function of the universe huh? Wow, that's neat stuff. I guess that explains it then. This wave not only created itself it created gravity and all the other physical laws in precise amounts, it created time, oh, and it created life.

Certainly an amazing and extremely precise thing, this WFU. It must be intelligent to make all of it work together. WFU is your God then.

If you worship a human you will only be disappointed.

Ask Hawking about dark matter. Ask him about the type of energy that gravity is. Ask him about a Unified Field Theory.

You question was answered numerous time through out this thread.
One wonders why you refuse to address my simple questions...

The original question hasn't been answered at all. Lack of evidence is not an honest answer unless a person requires absolute undoubtable proof for every other thing they believe in. They don't so, I'm still waiting.

Anyway, YOU did not answer the OP. Why would I address your questions when you haven't even attempted to answer the OP?

So you believe in Unicorns, fairies, and the Borg?

Why don't I trust that the bible accurately portrays God? Because I am a student of humanity.

Study tribal religions and you'll understand where the claims in the Old Testament come from. Ancient and ignorant tribal man did not understand that firey rocks could fall from the sky so ignorant man blamed these unknowns on Zeus or Apollo, Great Mystery or Yahweh. Once Jewish Rabbi's began writing things down they could not abandon their entire history taught to them by their elders so they wrote the old stories down.

Ancient Rabbi's have even lied in their writings in an effort to scare the populace, give them power, and to provide themselves with gain. Why would God need to be paid a ransom on the census? Funny how this money went into the temple coffers and then the priests pockets instead of being burned or melted as a true sacrifice would be.

Oh and, I do believe in God of the Koran.

Can you prove a one horned horse has never been born?

Why would I prove God to you? Why are you worth it?

No, but that is no reason for me to believe in it. It is the same with God.

It is not if I am worth of it or not. It is a matter of if you can do it or not.
