Okay. God has done SO much for everyone. Yes you have had bad things happen in your life, but so does everyone else. There would be no you, no me, no Earth if God hadn't placed it here. Be happy and believe. He died for you for goodness sake he was tortured and killed. Love him, praise him, for the rest of your life.

God has done nothing. He just doesn't exist.
This won't stop people like you from attributing things to him, though. Sorry, but there is nothing, outside of an old book written by zealots, to indicate that any god made the Earth or placed me here. There is, however, lots of evidence that such gods are man-made. You only have to honestly look at the history of each religion to see that.

#1. Which god? All monotheistic systems claim that their god created the earth. Why your god over their god?
#2. If your god is all powerful, he allowed himself to be tortured and killed, and if he did that for me, he knows that that type of activity is not permissible in my name. I don't have much truck with torturers, and a god that is tortured is also a torturer.
#3. My life is pretty good, actually, and your god hasn't had a word to say to me. If he wishes something from me, he can ask me. A god that wants worship but doesn't have the ability or desire to ask the people he wants personally, he's a pretty crappy god.

Why should I believe in YOUR God and stop believing in mine?
I will not love and praise a God that sends people to an eternity of torture just for not believing in him.

God is a fiction. Completely imaginary. He did not die for me or you. That whole story of god sending his son to be a sacrifice for us all makes no sense because an omnipotent god wouldn't need a sacrifice to forgive people. Do you demand a blood sacrifice before you forgive people? Why would a just god?
Let go of the fantasy. The world isn't such a bad place really, even without the addiction to the god fantasy.

this is a statement and not a question. i was about to agree with you until u said that he died for us and everything. thats only what christains believe and not any other religion. at the end of your statement you should have written "christains only" or something. other than the dying for us and getting tortured for us thing i totally agree with you.

Gods are fictional.
Not even the simplest bacterium could just exist fully formed from nothing, from nowhere, with no origin of any kind. The complexity, the organisation, the structures and functions cannot just exist for no reason. Something had to be responsible for putting all that together. I seriously doubt that there is a single mentally competent adult on the planet who would disagree with this.
And yet, people somehow manage to convince themselves that something infinitely more remarkable than a bacterium - an intelligent entity capable of designing and creating an entire universe - does just exist from nothing, from nowhere, with no origin of any kind, nothing responsible for its existence. How do these people manage to maintain such a bizarre and patently false belief? It's very perplexing. Clearly they haven't thought things through. When you think about it sensibly, it's obvious that an intelligent creator simply cannot exist. It took 14 billion years or so for the universe to produce human beings, the only example of true intelligence in the known universe. To say that something vastly more intelligent than us could exist as if by magic, without a natural process to create it, and a material universe for it to arise in, is simply barmy.
How *do* you maintain this delusion?

Um really are y'all still tryin to convert us- Silly silly theists think they can change something. Have you ever heard of codependency? When your self worth comes from changing others and making their lives "better" that's unhealthy.

Interesting how this would bring out the ANGER and HOSTILITY from those who claim NOT to believe in God at all....
Wonder why....hmmmm????

First of all most people believe in God , second of all most people believe in God in their own way not the way the church tells us we have too. So you do not make any good point here.
