I am on another board (secular)

I was reading a thread about prayer and how people get offended when people say that they will pray for them.

As I was reading some of the comments back and forth, I was just amazed at the out and out hatred or what appears to be hatred towards God. As well as the out and out non-belief for no good reason.

There was NEVER a time in my life, that I DID NOT believe in God, or that I did not love Him. Even before I was saved I loved God.

So my question is this, as children did these people not believe in God? As children don't we just naturally KNOW there is a God? What happened to that knowledge?

I don't understand non-belief, in anything for that matter. Especially in the western world. I noticed that a lot of the "so called" intellectuals (s) are the ones who do not believe. I think there is so much scientific evidence to prove the existence of God. Why do they not see it?
