Questions: Religion & Spirituality

Why have so many people stopped believing in God?

He created you and everything you see. He knows you and loves you personally. He sees you as his child. God is love. He is good, and has your best interests at heart.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”

John 3:16-17

We're not discussing whatever Heaven is real or not. Here we're discussing if the concept of an eternal Heaven sounds fun and pleasant or not. Please explain your thoughts. Everyone are welcome to join the discussion regardless of beliefs. #Heaven #AfterLife #Religion

For brevity I just picked the 4 horsemen and two of the more prominent atheists from different venues (conference vs internet vid)

yes i I know it’s not a perfect list, but you get the idea.

Here is one of several of His quotes on the subject.

Mark 9:43-48:

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— where

‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— where

‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire— where

‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

I know that this question may seem weighted in one direction but if we simplify the arguments of both religious people and non-religious people, we often find that one very basic argument comes into play. How did everything get here without a creator?

However, if we're questioning the likelihood of the universe and life forming merely by chance, we also have to consider the origins of God. After all, if some people view it as impossible to believe that all of this came about merely through random processes (including but not limited to the Big Bang) we have to consider what is least likely to have come about by chance: the universe as we see it today or a being capable of creating said universe.

Obviously, this will be a debatable topic and so detailed answers are appreciated. I'm interested to hear why both sides believe that their choice is the more likely to have existed by chance.
