I asked and gave the answer, because so many say the wrong thing as to why.
There are "Christians" who say people don't believe and obey because God doesn't enable them to by saving them first.
And I opined that people who aren't Christians live like Jesus wishes us to live. Jesus was criticized a lot for hanging around and being comfortable with people who were known "sinners." That should tell you something. I think Jesus is a lot more inclusive than some are comfortable with.

His worst condemnation was for those who were religious who took advantage of others and didn't take care of those who needed help. He said those were the people who were whited sepulchres full of dead men's bones.
He said that about the people who didn't repent of their sins but claimed to obey God.
You asked why don't people believe and obey Jesus? My point is some people live the teachings of Jesus even if they don't call themselves Christians. In the scriptures, Jesus was very comfortable with the so-called publicans and sinners of the day.

That seems to be about how people may leave ‘the system’ but unfortunately ‘the system’ hasn’t quite left them and given enough time and opportunity they will collect together and build up the same type of systems themselves
Same difference for someone such as yourself who is full of conflict.
By the way, this thread isn't about what does Meerkat2 think of me personally.
A lot of the stuff posted on this forum is redundant ……..
