How is it or why is it that so many people are turning against God, the Bible, Jesus and religion?

Many see religion as hypocritical when it comes to their church leaders and members. When it comes to the Bible, many have been told lies that it, the Bible is a book of fairytales and myths. Some see God as non-caring and cold. Then there are those who are confused about Jesus being God and vice versa. Others are deeply influenced by the world and what it seems to offer outside of living a godly life.

or:SPARKLEZ, thank you for your sincere response. May I ask why you don't personally have a religion? Is it because of one of the above reasons that I mentioned?
or:It is impossible to explain human behavior adequately without supposing the existence of a devil.
or:Many prophets of the Bible prophesied of our day. They said that many would depart from the truth and there would be great iniquity in our day. Prophets from both the Old and New Testaments prophesied that before the Great and Dreadful day of the Second coming of the Savior, there willl be a great apostasy and men will depart from the truth. This has happened because Satan is very cunning and has been able to deceive many with his lies. Many have surrendered themselves to the lies of Satan, and have departed from God, the Bible, and the truth.
or:True Christians read the Bible everyday. There are no specific books that we zero in on all the the time for repetitive purposes because the WHOLE Bible is beneficial in helping true christians in gaining and keeping God's approval, just as God's son Jesus did. However, because daily Bible reading and the sharing of Bible verses with others is a serious responsibility to true christians, they naturally with God's holy spirit are able to memorize and retain many, many Bible verses by memory (2nd Timothy 3:16,17; Matthew 3:17)....Also, real Christians are not in the business of \"showing up others\" or \"running circles\" around others with their knowledge of the Bible just to make others look inferior/bad. That is not showing real love for one another or anyone for that matter (1st Corinthian 13:5, Philippians 2:21, Philippians 2:4).
or:Due to the hypocrisy of the religious leaders, many people no longer believe in God or the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God and beneficial for teaching, reproving and setting things straight - 2 Timothy 3 v 16 & 17.It gives us reliable guidance for day to day living. Psalm 119 v 105But this world is in the hands of Satan the Devil and he is misleading the entire inhabited earth. - Revelation 12 v 9 - 12
or:In the 19th century Americans started moving west and three institutions went with them. There was vaudeville, traveling entertainment. There was lyceum, traveling education and culture. And there was the itinerant preacher, offering a new style of preaching called \"hell fire and brim stone\". It was very entertaining, only loosely based on scripture, and pastors didn't even try to compete. Instead they switched to preaching public morality and philosophy. Eventually an entire generation grew up not knowing the first thing about the religion they claimed to believe. That is why most Christian churches don't teach doctrines, and most members don't know what they are supposed to believe. 2 Timothy 4: 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
or:Hi Teagirl,I agree with you many in today's world see religion as confusing. Some view it as a fairy tale others as myths. the reason is that people are confuse of what is right and what is wrong . The scripture written in God's word at 2 Corinthians 4:4 tells us,\" The god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers,so that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ,who is the image of God,might not shine through.\" Let's break down that scripture ;1) First it says \"The god of this system of things.\" Just think about it for a moment with all the wicked,bad horrible things that's happening in the world today, we can rightly say its not a god of love that's causing the whole world to be in such turmoil.2) The second point says this worlds god has blinded the eyes of the unbelievers,so the glorious good news about the Christ,who is the image of God,might not shine through.\" So this clearly shows the god who is causing all the havoc in the world is blinding people from the truth about Jesus and his Father so that they will have doubts about the true God and his Son Jesus Christ.The more this wicked god block the truth from people about their Heavenly Creator and his Son Jesus Christ the more confuse and disorderly they will be. This is why many in the world don't know what to believe about religion and are turning away from Jesus and his Father. This wicked god is using many religious leaders to mislead,abuse and confuse mankind. Thanks to God's word the bible, we could come to have a very personal relationship with our God Jehovah and come to enjoy all the promises he is offering us.Hope this answer satisfy your question.There is so much more to learn about our Dear God Jehovah and his Son Jesus Christ. You ask such great question I will really like to discuss many other topics with you.Please contact me at wendzbabygirls@yahoo,com
or:People are turning away from God for more than one reason. Let's see what the Bible says on this :1) 2 Corinthians 4:4, \"Among whom the god of this system of things, has blinded the minds of the unbelievers.\"The above scripture shows one could become blinded by the god of this system and loose sight of God almighty . Due to unforeseen circumstances like death of a love one, lost of a job, and other disappointments in life causes some to turn away from God even casting blame for their loss. Many get distracted by ungodly things or ungodly life styles and so turn away from God. But whatever reason why they turn away from God isbnot a good reason enough because God our Heavenly Father is the one who gives them life and the reason why they are breathing is because God gives them the breath of life to go on, with out it they will be dead.
or:Because people don't take the time, nor do they put forth the effort to get to know the truth about God, who he is, and what is his will and purpose. After all, it's about how God wants to be worshipped and not how we want to worship God.Many people just listen to what others say, they do not question it, they just repeat. To really come to know God, you have to study his word the Bible, it's how he talks to us, he draws us to him. So, we have read, study, research and meditate on his word. We have to pray with a humble and sincere heart for true wisdom and understanding. He will direct us in the way to go.Isaiah 30:21 And your own ears will hear a word behind you saying: This is the way. Walk in it, you people, in case you should go to the right or in case you should go to the left.Let God be your guide and direct you, and you will find your way to exactly where you need to be. Once you learn the truth of a matter, you can very clearly recognize what is not the truth.
or:There is a big difference between turning against something, and not believing something ever existed. I have always been against groups that put themselves above all others. I also dislike arrogance, and find it extremely difficult to like people who can't, or won't, answer simple questions. Don't tell me where you think I will go when I die, especially because you don't know where it even is. Believing things are possible simply because someone wrote them, doesn't make you right.
or:Because they've seen the light and realised that the Bible is a fairy tale and there's no such thing as God.
or:After you have spend dozens of years reading and studying people and their religions, you most likely will be a die hard Atheist too. It is so obvious why religions were established, obvious why they are all different, and why people cannot get along with each other. Won't you be shocked when you find out that by choosing a religion, you'll be the ones left behind!
