When a person is an Atheist they tend not to believe in God. They don't believe in any God. They have their reasons that go further than the obvious which is the simple fact no one can see God. They have in depth and real concerns that lead them to see no reason that a god would exist. It cannot be possible with all of the horrible things in the world that happen. I suppose Atheist's have a point.
“If I can't see God why should I believe He exists?”
“There are so many hungry, starving people in the world, why should I believe God exists?”
“If God exists and He is a loving God then why do people suffer here on earth?”
“How can Heaven be proven to exist?”
“I can't stand those fake preachers on television. They are supposed to represent and teach people about God and they are simply horrible. Why should I believe in the same God they believe in?”
”I am given no reason to believe.”
All of these thoughts exist in the mind of an Atheist. Many have tried to figure out if God exists but never came up with an answer to prove that there is a God. I can understand why there are non-believers out there, but I don't see them being truly happy within either. Maybe they are, but I can't conceive the notion just as they can't conceive the idea that I would be happy believing in God.
I can explain why I do believe in God. My life is a miracle from the day I was born. I was given life in a situation that both me and my mother should have died. We both survived and that was the beginning of why I believe in God. I cannot see God but I feel His presence exists. You can say it is to make me feel better which is fine with me because I do feel safe and sound with knowing God is with me. I feel as though the human race is connected with God through heart and mind. I also believe that having a sense of peace, love, and everlasting life equals hope. I would rather go through my entire life believing in something even if it never existed if it is going to help me live a better life. And if God didn't exist I would lose nothing, but if I didn't believe in God and found out later He did exist then I would suffer the consequences. Why not play it safe then. But truly, my faith lies in the path that I put behind me and before me and the feelings I get from the love that I receive proves to me that God does exist. How is it possible that the human body, animals, the Earth and Universe were all created with perfection if there is no God?
Those that are Atheists have been disgusted with the reality that evangelists and preachers and priests continue to disappoint people with scandals and crimes. I don't blame someone turning away from the church or mosque or temple. I think we deserve better people to represent what true faith and religion is. There are a few left out there but they also get annoyed and aggravated with the particular place they work for and move on to another hoping it will be better. All we can do is our best while here on Earth.
