I don’t believe in god!
I have heard those words spoken often. It is not necessarily a bad thing to say. There are many people that do not believe in God, who have valid reasons why one would not believe. I am never surprised at such a statement, and I always look forward to chatting about it.

I am interested to know what kind of God it is that they do not believe in. The answers can be varied:

Perhaps it is a God who says He is loving, yet carelessly allows people to hurt each other.
Maybe it is a God who has condemned people for their actions, and sentenced them to hell.
Maybe it is a God who seems to play favorites.
One could say that he knows believers, and their lives are less inviting than the worst people he knows.
A God who contradicts himself, thus having no validity.
A God who says He is all powerful and all knowing, yet does not solve the world’s problems.

If your answers fall under any of the ones listed, I have to say that I agree. I don’t believe in such a God either! I do, however, believe in God.
