Because they seem to get confused when we start talking about God's behavior in the Bible...like God is real. Should we drop the God is bad approach? Did anyone convert from Christianity because they disapproved of God?

Not really talking to the likes of Firedork, here...this is for thinkers.

What method should we use to convince you that YOUR physical father is not real? That method might be the best one but I wouldn't guarantee results. Convincing someone that which they know to be true is not real is a difficult task at best. Perhaps if you invested more time in seeking the truth rather than disproving what is real you too could know him for yourself.

No one can prove God is real...God, and any other deity is based upon belief. If anyone says God is real, then ask if they've seen God; then quote scriptures where is says that "no man can look upon God for surely he shall die from His malevolence..." or something like that.
Now, just because no one can prove God's existence does not mean that one should not believe in Him. Science is not the answer to all: can't cure AIDS, HIV, and the plethora of other incurable diseases, but science does help man...hmm, for some, so does believing in God.
Christianity = to live Christ like...okay, if we're to take the religious approach on Christ, then all Christians should be out saving the world. If we take the humanistic approach, we're all Christians because Jesus was a what? Anyone? Anyone? A MAN.
We, as humans, have "free will" where we can pick & choose what we want to believe in or disbelieve in...a good human would not judge another simply because they do not see eye-to-eye on this...that's what's called being an individual.

Good question.
I did specifically convert from Christianity to Islam. After 10 years, I left Islam and am now a happy Satanist and Pagan. I left behind Abrahamic monotheism precisely because I could not stand the god that is found in the pages of the Bible and the Qur'an. I am a Satanist because I consider the god of Abraham (and similar spiritual principles) as a real enemy to humanity and a hinderance to our growth. While other pagans take the approach of "what works for you is really great" and while I would generally agree, the Jehovah/Allah model of the Divine represents a great abortion of human spiritual experience.
All the best,
Lazarus

Since one of your statements is that "Science is right" we should start there. I am a Physics minor and Mathematics major from my college days. I can tell you that any real scientist/mathemetician must believe in GOD. There is no way that anything else could have created a world that is this perfect and life that works so well together in this world. GOD does exist and you need to begin studying while you still have time to be among those bound for heaven. Satan seems to be winning your soul at this time. I hope that you eventually find your way to GOD.

There are a lot of area science cannot explain. I'm not saying anything unexplainable is God's work, but if you ever studied Biology or Physics it's just too amazing and mysterious.
I believe God is real, because I had experienced great spiritual love in my heart. I agree with you that the bible (especially the old testimony) confused me a lot, but people wrote the bible had their limitation in understanding God and translate what they experienced into language.
I like you seriously denying God! You may get closer to him that way.

i admire your questions. they are theory upsetting and interesting. That being reported, i come across it in straightforward terms a sprint of humorous how different Christians are lacking the ingredient and taking offense... to respond to the question, it particularly relies upon on who you're and the way you grow to know God. i does no longer evaluate having a courting with God comparable to having an imaginary chum because of the fact an imaginary chum in a individual creation that a newborn makes up which may well be whoever they want. you do no longer mildew God into something - he's who he's. The term "Christian" is used exceedingly loosely - i do no longer evaluate all believers "Christian" because of the fact the term means which you're *Christ-like*. Believing in God would not make you Christ-like. so which you ought to respond to the final questions, Christians do no longer assign a function for God. They assume the function God placed out for THEM. Christians do no longer blame God for their sins. Christians repent and make an apology and understand that God gave us our very own loose will and what you go with for to do is on your palms. Christians know that God is actual. Christians do no longer administration God - They administration their very own selections and reactions and that's all. there are distinctive believers who desire to reword the Bible to make it extra wholesome their existence sort (as damaging to changing their existence sort to extra wholesome what the Bible says) yet i do no longer evaluate them "Christians". i do no longer understand what precisely you're asking interior the final question... sorry.

A question for thinkers, huh. Well even lunatics think, it's just that their thinking doesn't make sense.....like your question. If you're so opposed to God, why do you keep talking about Him. If you think He is imaginary, why do you keep asking and answering questions about Him. It seems that you are the one confused.

All three, yes. A three pronged attack!
Kind of like the Xian equivalent of : If God didn't do it how did it happen?, God is love. If you don't believe you'll burn for eternity!
They use all three to convert. And they've tricked a third of the world's population. So obviously the strategy must be sound.

At first I disapproved of the Bible interpretation of God. That Bible-god is an evil dude. Afterward I drifted to agnosticism. Coming here made me an atheist really quickly.

Convert from christianity to what hon? You seem to have been misled. If your theory was to be proven (of which it has not) then maybe Christians would concede to the lack of a higher power; however, until then, let us all believe what we wish to believe and give nobody the power to judge each other. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones honey.
