Is it normal not to believe in god?

Well ever sence 2010-2011 I have not believed in god. Here's why. One of my friends hung herself. So why would "god" create people and let us get so attracted and love them if all he does is take them away. I have been told that "god" has a plan for everybody, so why would he bring them into the world just to kill them off? I also am very depressed and tried killing myself and started cutting I ease the pain. So again why would "god" make me have to get called names and get raped? I thought he loved all his children so why does it feel like "he's" torturing me?

is it normal that I don't believe in god?

  • Its normal and there are many arguments against religion but this is not one of them.
    Whether or not there is a god we have free will and no god decides for us.

    Oh man, okay dude look I'm spiritually religious and here's what I have to say. You don't have to believe in god, I think it's good to believe in something (that's MY personal opinion)because how could you not? People can be negative and I think there are bad people out there that are filled with hate and evil, but I believe in good too because you can't have one without the other so of course with the good comes the bad but you can make the bad in your life into good. I believe in god and also the universe. I believe that god created the universe. Of course it's normal not to believe in god your human your born into a world of negativity to learn and grow stronger no matter what the universe throws at you the hardest part is going through all of this and being happy and positive. Things happen around us for reasons no one can answer. I try to picture it as we are on a path but there's Always a new one to take. You may think, no there's not. But how are you approaching your daily path? The secret is to be happy and positive with what you have and with whatever situation your in you have to make the best of it. I have depression and pills don't help me but the way I deal with every day is being happy by waking up every morning and before letting anything negative come into my head I think of what makes me happy or blissful, or where I want to be in life. And if something gets shitty I ignore it or start writing down (or say out loud when I'm alone because yeah it sounds funny when others are around hahaha) what I am truly grateful for. I'm just putting down whatever from "I'm grateful for both of my arms" because if you think about it having one would suck, to "I'm grateful I didn't get hit by a car today" to "I'm grateful for having this awesome cereal and that I can afford to have my favorite cereal in my house to eat at my convince" and that sounds so silly but it's what I'm grateful for so it makes me laugh and it makes me happy because I'm thinking about me. I know it's hard I tried to off myself twice in the past and "punish" my body with sharp items. But your life is what you make of it every day and if you wake up getting yourself to be positive eventually positivity will come your way I can promise that. You also need to believe that you are here on this earth to do something out of all these people and you are special no matter who tells you what because you know what? They aren't you so fuck em! Just laugh about it and go on try to immediately think of something that makes you happy! Ive learned the more you dwell on a situation that someone made you feel uncomfortable in the more it's going to make things worse. I don't think about the past because that's not where I'm headed. You are a miracle made up of partials! I believe in you friend, spread the medicine to the people.

    I saw you kneeling on a desert plateau
    Your eyes were melting from inside your skull
    The wind was burning holes into my skin
    Where does a body end?

    Your voice is drifting through the stratosphere
    My mouth is drinking from your pool of tears
    I saw your heartbeat in the radium screen
    What does a body mean?

    The future's leaking through a shut lead door
    In the ruins of a city under the forest floor.
    Your naked body's buried in a vacant field
    What does your body feel now?

    The air is black and has no oxygen
    The bodies in the river float beneath the sun
    Transparent skin it shines a light from deep within
    Where does your body begin?

    The stars are hidden by a mirrored sky
    And darkness disappears behind reflected light
    Perception is a distance in a closed-in space
    How will your body escape?

    The crowd is feeling you inside your head.
    Your imagination's canceled by its opposite
    And every possibility's been proved untrue
    Now is your body you?

    You know dude, that kind of an argument you are getting is an old one. You know why? Because if you are asking "...One of my friends hung herself. So why would "god" create people and let us get so attracted and love them if all he does is take them away. I have been told that "god" has a plan for everybody, so why would he bring them into the world just to kill them off?..." Here is the simple logic regarding about that matter. First and foremost you must put in mind that God is Sovereign. But he's sovereignty doesn't put you into a situation in which will results that you will stop deciding and choosing for your own self. That means we are all responsible for our own actuation's, in which we couldn't blame God for our own miseries. So meaning if you are experiencing trouble or problems or miseries in your life, don't blame God! blame yourself for not choosing the right thing for you. You have the power to choose, then why don't you choose the good one for yourself? you're not a kid anymore. lol. So stand up with your own two legs and be a man. God is not a GOOD LUCK CHARM in which he is there for you like a Genie in the bottle in which he follows what you're asking. Like what I've said, God is sovereign. He is able to do things without our consent. He is superior into all his deeds. He is God after all. God is not something we could easily comprehend. That's why if God doesn't suit into your taste, you couldn't tell immediately that there is no God. Even if you didn't believe in God in your own belief, that doesn't DISREGARD the fact that there is a GOD. In other words, even if you don't believe in God, HE STILL EXIST NO MATTER WHAT.

      God doesn't control bad stuff but controls good stuff?

      He's loving?!

      Tell that to the babies he drowned in the flood.
      Tell that to the starving African orphans he DOESN'T feed.

      Either he controls everything and he's a dick.
      Or he controls good, refuses to hand out good things and he's a dick.
      He can't control anything and isn't worthy of being your god.
      Or he doesn't exist.

      I'ma go with doesn't exist.

      Because he doesn't.

          1. If God is omnipotent, then he has the power to prevent evil.
          2. If God is omnibenevolvent (all Good), then he has the will to prevent evil.
          3. Evil exists.
          4. Therefore, either God is not omnipotent or he is not omnibenevolent.
          5. But by definition God is omnipotent AND omnibenevolent.
          6. Therefore, there is no God.

          I have read many versions of the Bible over and over again. I can only assume you HAVEN'T done this if you can still say he's loving.
