Atheists, why is it so important to believe in God?

Question

I was actually looking to see whether or not people would actually try to see it from the other's point of view, as opposed to relying on subjective arguments.

Thank you all for participating.

Answer 1

u r right.i was gonna say that.atheists doesn't believe in god.

Answer 2

So we can get to h**l and tap the keg.  It's a very difficult process and must be done with care to avoid tons of foam.

This is a very big deal to us.

Answer 3

They dont think its important. Therefore they are an atheist.  

Answer 4

So you can stay blind to the truth

Answer 5

well being an atheist i dont think it is

but i beleive those who do need to beleive in soemthing, as life and death are scary, and we all need soemthing to hold onto,

to make the un understandable, understandable

to make us feel we have some knowledge, understanding, and answers about our life and existence

and that we need to feel loved when we are not loved, and not alone when we are alone,

and to hold on to the beleif that this life is not the only one, that there is more and that its all worth it, there is some reward at the end of all this suffering and pointlessness

thats just my views on it

Answer 6

You don't need to believe in God to be a good person.  When someone become wise and believe that love is the more important thing in life, there's no need to believe in God. However, I don't think that all atheists are good persons.  

Answer 7

um, its not

Answer 8

atheists don't believe in god.

Answer 9

Why are you directing this question at atheists, who do NOT believe in God.

The obvious answer would be "It's not".

Answer 10

They need and require a hope for something better, and that justice will be served someday.

Answer 11

Uh, it isn't?

I'm an atheist, and that's the whole point of atheism: no god(s)(esses).

Answer 12

It is only important for those that really need an external source or higher power to make them act morally.

Answer 13

Huh?

Answer 14

I don't understand this question.

It's like asking vegetarians why they eat so much meat.

Answer 15

So that you don't end up in h**l fire

Answer 16

So I can be a rotten bast8rd for 95% of my life and for the last 5% be a good god loving man.

I get the best of both worlds.  

Answer 17

For the dipstick you said all morals come from religion.

You are an uneducated idiotic child. Come back when you get your brain into gear

Answer 18

I don't think you're asking this question of the right group.

Wouldn't this question be better answered by Theists.

Answer 19

Atheists don't believe in God

Answer 20

I think you got at the wrong corner!

Answer 21

you should refer your Q to the theists.

Answer 22

your question makes no sense, an atheist is one who does not believe in god. Surely this should be directed towards theists?

Answer 23
