Why can ppl stand up n question God.

why DO peaople stand up an question god?
because god hasen't shown himself/herself/itself or revealed himself/herself/itself to the world. he/she/it ignores the problems we have, which forces us to question him. you know who just follows without questions? slaves. and sheep.

People stand up and question g-d because it is in our nature.  I have always believed that my g-d would want me to be able to make a well-educated, conscious decision before worship because otherwise my devotion may not mean much...if I'm a blind believer, and I don't struggle with right and wrong...what good am I?

Jacob was renamed Israel in the Bible...meaning "one who struggles with g-d".  Moses also struggled with g-d.  There is nothing wrong with questioning.

There is nothing wrong with questioning.  However, if you just question, and never try to find the answers, then your beating the wind.  The answers are in His Word.  Ah, now here's the rub.....do you believe His Word?  That's where He shows and reveals Himself.

There's been many times I've struggled with something, and through prayer and study of the Bible, I get the answer. I go to others that are my teachers and spiritual authority, and they can sometimes help point me in the right direction also.  Are there things I don't understand.....sure!  However, the more I live my Faith, the more I find the answers for my life, and know who holds my future in His Hands.  

Everybody has to trust in something, or put their faith in something.  There is a place deep within us that cries out for that understanding and a longing to know our Creator.

That's where your faith (believing in what you actually cannot see) comes in and being able to trust in genuine belief in God.

I think the real question here is why do people insist there is one...

I can turn that right back around, and say why do some people insist there isn't one?  I've read some of your previous posts, and know you don't believe in God or believe there is one.  That's your choice.  It's also other's choice to have faith and believe there is a God.

Your entitled to your stance as we are entitled to ours.

The one thing that has always gotten me is that people that believe in god are supposed to accept everyone.. BUT... if you don't believe in god, they (the ppl that do believe in god) make you feel like crap, tell you you're wrong... etc.

It's obvious you haven't read many threads on this forum.  You need to pull up some threads, and read through them, and then tell me if the Christians on here are just trying to make people feel bad.  Your statement is hardly fair.  The atheists and agnostics on this forum have done a pretty good job of verbally burning Christians at the stake.

Also, you need to evaluate what is actually making you feel like "crap" (as you put it).  Could it be something in the Bible they have brought out?  If it is, then it's not the person, it's the Bible that you have a problem with.  Most of the Christians on here love everybody, and post such.

Dawns post was quite a generalization, I am one believer(although not Christian) and I know many more who believe in everyones rights to believe in whatever they believe in,as long as they are not using it as justification to victimize others and we don't believe in others trying to degrade them or attempt to assimilate them into their own beliefs.

Degrade them?  Assimilate them?  Victimize them?  Do you even read over what you write?  You need to go back and read over some of your own posts when using the words you just did.  LOL  Your too funny!

But haven't you realized yet he only shows himself to those who are in a coma state of mind. I will call them desperate housewives.
And to answer the real question at hand, because logic & science makes a great argument against the so called god. If someone worshipped lets say a pickle you would stand up and ask why,, well so do people on the god issue. I have not seen more hate come from life but from the god word... Wars starting,, in god we trust,,, pffff. Forums like this debating but yet not really people fight over what??? the god word. My daughter was held down and beat last week, yes you can actually look it up on my hometown newspaper,, why the GOD that so many people throw themselves upon. God is nothing more than a judgemental word and a cash cow for churches.
