Why is anyone interested in denying God?

Why does one deny God, the basis of one’s existence? One sometimes does not respect reality. He is considered more than he is. He is proud. He pretends to be more than he is. He pretends to be the master of the universe, but he is not. Pride directly kills the ability to learn.
Andrej Frossard, in his book: God exists, I met him, wrote how far a man could go in his rejection. The perfect atheist was no longer a man who denied God, but who no longer even questioned the existence of God. It is difficult to answer the question of what all contributes to the formation of such an attitude. Sometimes it can be upbringing, other times some vice, or social conditions. From a specific life, we ​​know that the denial of God is not always as deep as someone pretends and that it cannot withstand the actual trials of life. For many who deny God, it would be necessary to ask a question. If it went tough, I’m sure I don’t believe it. I do not think it might turn out in a different form. No, I can’t believe it, but I want to avoid considering it. And a substitute for faith in God? Sometimes it is human ideas; sometimes, it is emptiness. Everyone has the confidence they deserve. There are many obstacles on the way to God, but one of the main obstacles can be oneself. The more he deals with himself, the less truthfully, he sees others and other things. Its horizon is too limited. Such a person overlooks many things. We only come across God when we are at the root of things. Only an attentive and thoughtful person will discover God. K. Jasper, a German philosopher, said that man must first discover himself to find God. When a person loses himself, he also loses God. Many moderns no longer find themselves. They have a sense only for the outer layer of sensory experience, understanding experiment, and technique. However, they cannot descend into the depths of their interior. And the result? Man is superficial. He lost his depth. Looking for a distraction, she feels empty. He is not happy. St. Augustine speaks. What you value attracts you. Trait on her volunteers. What attracts you reveals what you are. Some are attracted to art, others to truth or knowledge, but some to worse things. One must be willing to seek God and ready to find. He who is more interested in not finding God will hardly find him. One must have somehow trusted and love God. Love and knowledge complement each other. Love cannot be forced, even by arguments. What drove the modern man into this situation, he denies God. He rejects God, though he cannot get rid of the thought of Him. Sometimes he talks about him seriously; other times, he talks about him recklessly or even contemptuously.

  1. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there.
