when i look around the world, the things i see and the events that happen and the experiences i have had or have learned of, are perfectly in keeping with what my senses tell me must be true. when i drop a stone out of my hand it falls to the ground, if i drink too much i get drunk, if i treat people badly, i get the same in return. in other words, the world is as it should be. i am an atheist.
so, my question to you as stated above is, does your religion square with what your senses tell you about the world. for example, have you ever seen a virgin give birth?
have you ever seen the dead rise?
have you ever seen anyone float in the air, walk on water, or perform any other sort of 'miracle'?
how could a supposedly benevolent, loving, supernatural being destroy innocent life so carelessly?
how could things such as 'evil', death, destruction, famine, disease, pestilence, plague, infanticide, genocide, natural disasters and the like occur in a 'perfect' world?
please... explain.
