Question

What are some common reasons for belief in God among religious individuals?

Answer 1

1) Fear of death. 2) Fear of the unknown (also see 1 above). 3) Fear of social isolation (nobody wants to be the only one not in church on Sunday, or the only one not doing what the neighbors are doing). 4) Greed (anything that makes people so emotional is certain to be profitable for somebody)

Answer 2

Maybe they feel they wouldn't have any control in their lives if they didn't.. Chaos, panic and disorder.

Answer 3

Out of fear of the unknown.. . Parents put the fear of god in their children, because they don't have the know how to bring kids up with respect for all living beings. They feel if they threaten children with the fear factor, when they go astray, parents don't have to blame themselves. Thus, we end up living in a just society......I guess we are still waiting....how long has it been now?

-Because this world is designed, and design needs a designer ("The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork" Psalm 19:1). -His Holy Word, The Bible, was written over a very long period, most of the authors were not contemporaries of one another or got to speak to one another, but the Bible is still without contradiction. It has to be inspried by God. (All scripture is given by inspiration of God..." 2 Timothy 3:15). -The Ressurection of Jesus Christ which was witnessed by many . -The fact that I speak to HIm every day.

Answer 8

Romans 1:19-20 You should read the entire chapter.. The Bible [KJV] has many proofs within itself such as fulfilled prophecies,[more than 300 relating to Jesus Christ alone],historic events that were made known hundred's of years prior to there occurrence. Science has tried to explain things in a natural way leaving GOD out of it, but they stumble having eliminated the correct answer before they started. Gen 1:1 In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth.....
