[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Believing in God is not a simple answer. It is a hard work, physical and mental, on a daily basis. It is very hard to break that inner bad part of yourself that everyone have in us and to strive to become a better person. I think it is simple for a married man to see a sexy hot women and to desire her. That is a simple basic reaction. It is much harder for a married man to look at that woman and think "I bless you sister". But it seems like those concepts are too hard for you to comprehend, so you should go back digging your yard.

Believing in any being that you cannot see is not simple.  Only kids believe in fairies that they can't see.  They also believe in Santa -- but they do see him - or at least people dressed up like him.  But eventually, kids give up their belief in Santa.   It not cool for an older kids to believe in Santa.  Plus the gifts keep coming, which is the important thing, after all!

Some people also give up their belief in God.  But some don't.  Actually, it's still quite popular and acceptable to believe in God as an adult.  In fact, many people are quite vocal about their religious beliefs.

Belief in God is decreasing, but people are not as likely to mention it in casual conversation[/quote]

Belief in God is decreasing but not because are smarter or wiser (Have you read things written by people hundreds of years ago vs today's gibberish nonsense?!).  Rather, people today have developed more technology and distractions to busy and distract themselves from deeper questions in life.  More medical advancement have given people a sense of invincibility, thinking that if only they eat the right way, do the right things, take the right antioxidants, they can starve off death (at least until they are ready).  All these developments make it easier to ignore God.  It's so much easier today to believe tomorrow will come and will look quite like today, but it's all an illusion and everything can change in an instant.  This is partly why depression shot up with covid, because many people were confronted for the first time with facing mortality and uncertainty.  And covid was really nothing.   [/quote]

Are you suggesting that belief in God is decreasing because of technology and medical advancement?[/quote]
