1. What has life without God offered ? Does it mean we enjoy suicide , murders, war, dieases, nudity in the press, our kids having sex at 10yrs!, divorce , adultery, defilement of our children and so on ?
2. What has God done so bad, why are we quick to be angry at the sound of the name GOD ? This means tthat what God said in the Bible is true, He said that the world will not like Him and will not accept His message. And we are the world.
3. What is so bad about God's commands and His Word that we reject Him ? Is it because we still want stuff like nudity, sex without marriage, getting drunk ,cheating one another, murdering others ?
Passage Romans 3:10:
10As it is written, None is righteous, just and truthful and upright and conscientious, no, not one.(A)
GOD LOVES YOU.
Passage John 3:16:
16For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([a]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on)

1. Freedom to do as I please. If I don't agree with the choices others make, I don't have to make them. But I don't agree that no one should make them. Suicide, murder, war, disease, adultery, and the corruption of innocence have all been a part of life since the dawn of time. Secular society didn't create them. In general, the age at which children have their first sexual contact has actually gotten older lately. In the middle ages, girls were married off as soon as they started menstruating, and you can bet their husbands didn't wait until they felt emotionally mature enough to handle sex. Which, as far as I can see, only leaves us with divorce, which isn't so bad.
2. I'm not even going to address this one. If you accept the bible as absolute truth, then there's no point having a discussion with someone who doesn't.
3. See response 1.
Passage Exekiel 23:20:
There she had longed for her lovers. Their private parts seemed as big as those of donkeys. And their flow of semen appeared to be as much as that of horses.

1. There's more offered in life without God. I don't enjoy suicide, if I did, I'd be dead. I don't enjoy murdering people because I know that there's no happy place they'll go to when they die. I don't enjoy war (see murder). I enjoy nudity in the press, but only girl nudity I should think every guy should like that. Kids having sex at 10 is the result of bad parenting, not atheism. Speaking of defilement of children...Catholic Priests are atheists?
2. I'm not angry at God, I don't think he exists. There are doubters in everything.
I can say a pink dinosaur is God in he will take me to the end of the universe and show me the meaning of life, and that the world will reject what I have just said. Most people will think I'm crazy. You included. Does this make it the word of God?
3. Why do you think all atheists are murderers? We have a greater respect for life, seeing as there is no afterlife to follow it

1. I don't like any of those things, but you can't split the world in two parts, believing that nothing bad exist if everyone believe in god. It's even proved that a lot of murders, wars, suicides and diseases (e.g. reluctance of using condoms resulting in VDs) happen because of religion, not the opposite.
2. A lot of bad things have been done in the name of god. I can't tell whether it's god's fault or not. No one can tell. But what i can tell, the god manifested by a lot of christians is a rather judgmental god. And I don't want to believe in judging.
3. What is god's commands? The bible? The bible is a book to me, a result of people believing in god and wanting to write it down. It's not a god's words to me, it's people's words.

Do you now claim to know what "God" thinks?
The bible, once again, was written by men in the past.
Seems like you assumed too much in you line of questions.
Guilt trip does not get your argument anywhere closer to a fruitful conclusion.
Atheists could also be as critical as you in pointing out those bad nature of human race. But if you so insisting on questioning them, ask if the members of the church have conducted as they are taught, if not then I believe you have a lot of house cleaning to do.
Indeed, what actually has "God" directly done for Christians to convince the rest of the world of his goodness?

1.Life without God makes me free to follow my own ways, rather than following dumb rules priests concocted, and a man who does right for its own sake is more consistent with it than one who only does things because of childish tales of Heaven and Hell and tries to get by with things. People who claim to be religious do many bad things, so it is illogical to say one group behaves better than another. Atheists never started any holy wars that've cost thousands of lives. My oldest sister sits in church 3 times a week and has been divorced 3 times as well. What is wrong with nudity? That's just priests' con game to make people feel guilty. You have no real case here.
2.Where shall I begin here? The Bible is filled with glaring contradictions and scientific errors, so only naive people blindly believe it. Quoting verses from a collection of naive myths means nothing at all to one who knows better. I'm angry about my sister shoving her god down my throat.
3.Yes, I want nudity, and to say that's a sin is too strict. I've never been married, but I have sex often. That is none of your business or any priest's business. Tell me that I'm sinning, and I'll toss you out the window. I drink liquor, but I don't like to overdo it. Noah made wine, and Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding at Canae. Get your story straight. Christians cheat and murder as often or more often than atheists do. It's absurd to say anyone believes in such behavior.
Romans 3:10 is one of the verses designed to make people feel guilty about imagined sins. A priest can get forgiveness for you...for a fee, of course. You make a big deal of nudity. Sex is natural, and priests and you are evil to say sex is a sin to try to gain power and money from gullible people. What a con game it is to manufacture sin and forgiveness for it. That's like poisoning people and selling antidote. I'll have none of it.
John 3:16 is about two imaginary characters in a collection of naive myths, so why not save your breath or fingers on the keyboard? It's nonsense, like the rest of the Bible. I don't need saving from imaginary sins.

Are you implying that people who don't believe in God enjoy suicide, murders, war, diseases? It sounds like you are saying people who don't believe in God likes those horrible things.
The thing is Christianity once promoted WAR, remember the crusades?!
And there are tons of other religion out there that doesn't believe in the Chrisitan God, but promotes peace and love..are you saying that they are bad also, simply they don't believe in your God?

You have no real understanding of what an atheist believes and why. I happen to possess a high moral standard, as do most people I know. You only incite hate by posting falsehoods and making blanket statements.

1. We are experiencing it.. We as in both you and us.
2. Gods that have been defined have done nothing bad because they do not exist.
3. They are not God's commandments nor his words. The defined Gods do not exist.
God does not exist to love us. You love us. Thank you, we love you too.

Im not an Atheist or a Christian, I am Nothing, and that has made all the difference. I do believe in the existence of a supreme being, but Im not sure that he/she/it loves me..

Gods many blessings to you.
