Why don't people believe in God? (my personal opinion)

Today I will try to answer this question. I am a Catholic and have been a believer and practitioner of my faith for as long as I can remember. 

I owe my faith to my parents, they were my role model. I have never had a crisis of faith, I consider it as a gift from God.

Why don't people believe in God?

I don't know. For me, the issue is obvious for several reasons. Personally, I think that one of the most obvious evidences for the existence of God is the existence of man and nature. In my opinion, SOMEONE had to give a beginning to the universe, nature and man. Nothing happens by itself. 

As the Holy Scriptures says "From the beauty of the creatures one recognizes the Creator." (this is not a literal quotation)

I recognize God from the beauty of creatures, but I also believe in God in the Trinity (based on the revelation of God to the people of Israel, based on the belief in the historicity of Jesus Christ; besides, there are also Eucharistic miracles, some people experience unexplainable healings from serious diseases, etc.).

Considering the above, I don't know why it is so difficult for some people to open themselves to the grace of faith, because it is grace, that is, a free gift from God.

Even if evolution created man, life itself had to start from SOMEONE, and that SOMEONE is God.

God has givenus life, God leads every man to live with HIM in heaven, HE gives the grace of faith - but first a man must open himself to it, and when he believes then life will become more beautiful and simpler. 

Problems will not disappear, but it will be easier to overcome them with God, to cope with challenges of everyday life.

And you, do you believe in God? Do you accept God's gifts? Do you believe that heaven is man's destiny?

Dare to live. It's YOUR life.

"What is it to be a Christian?" (according to Peter Kreeft)

Currently I am reading the book entitled "Your Questions, God's Answers" (by Peter Kreeft). There are 64 questions and the same number of answers given by the author. The answers are very important if we want to understand our Catholic faith. One of the questions is the following: "What is it to be a Christian?" The author writes that "different people will give different answers to that question". Then, he continues to explain that it is Jesus who knows the answer to that question. I will quote the author's words: "What does he say? He (Jesus) says his followers are to become parts of him, incorporated into his body. "I am the vine, and you are the branches" (Jn 15:5) - the same life, the same plant. A Christian is a branch of Christ, a part of Christ. Together, Christians are the Church, the body of Christ (Eph 5:30; Col 1:18)." I am a Catholic. I believe that all I have to know is written in the Bible. God gave us Hi...

Your questions, God's answers - about a book written by Peter Kreeft.

Yesterday I managed to buy some books - some of them in Italian and some in English. Nearly all of them are connected with faith and God. I'd like to write something about one of these books, namely "Your Questions, God's Answers". The book (author: Peter Kreeft) may be useful for teenagers and their parents. On the back cover of this book we can read: "Kreeft uses Scripture to provide God's profound answers to the most common and important questions young people ask about the deeper meaning of life, their own identity, overcoming failure and temptation, the mystery of God's love, and much more." My copy was published by Ignatius Press. It consists of 121 pages. In my opinion the questions and answers (there are 64 questions) may help teenagers and their parents in their conversations. Some of the questions are: "How can I find out who I really am?", "How will the Bible help me to know myself?", "How can I understand...

What is spiritual development? (my opinion)

Spiritual development is everything that brings me closer to God, that which is related to my prayer life. When do I know that I am growing spiritually? It seems to me that my development (i.e. progress) is expressed in the fact that I am calmer year by year believing that I am heading towards God, towards heaven, towards my final destiny. I don't often reflect on how much I have developed spiritually during my life. Certainly, my attendance at Mass (at least on Sundays and feast days), my participation in the sacraments (e.g., Penance, Holy Communion, Anointing of the Sick), and my daily prayer help me to grow spiritually. I also observe my emotions, my attitude towards people, my falls into one sin or another, I observe if my relationships with people are better, if I as a person become more generous and kind towards my neighbour and the Catholic Church. I am already 49 years old, and age obliges one to become better and better man. I believe that a Christian should develop spiri...
