Atheists, is the Judea-Christian idea of God improbable or impossible?

Question

Why do you think this?

Answer 1

Impossible.

Atheism: The Case Against God by George H. Smith

Answer 2

Definitely improbable, which stems partly from the same reason why I think it is impossible. Since God would have to act against the very laws of nature, I don't think God is possible. I believe it would probably cause irreparable harm to the "fabric" of the universe and I'm not sure how God would even be able to do it, where he would get the power.

So, I can't definitively say God is impossible (because I don't know everything), but the idea is close, and so is beyond improbable.

Answer 3

I don't know why you asked this kind of question. If you use your logic, you will find that the first converts to believe in Jesus Christ' teachings were Jews from Judea. The others who were citizens of Rome's occupied territory were not Jew who joined them believing in Christ. In some verifiable facts, few of their first non-Jew converts were slaves or wives of some Roman soldiers until some soldiers were also converted. When Constantine decreed that the official religion of the Empire is Christianity, it was because He could no longer contain and control the growing dissent of the citizens of Rome being led by Christians. His hatred of Jews culminated the Jewish influenced Christians in 325 CE when He issued a decree "Let us have nothing in common with this odious people (pointing to the Jews)". By declaring a new dogma of having Trinity and calling Mary as virgin Queen of God as part of the religions tradition, the Monotheistic Jews were outcasted and became paupers of the region. Ending the Judea-Christian era taken over by the pure Roman Catholic church. So, what is improbable or impossible there and what do Atheists have anything to do with that? I do not think they care so much about it. Beside Judeo-Christian is not an idea of God, it is just an era when Jew and non-Jews were one in the worship of Christ.

Answer 4

Highly improbable. Because it is too much like the other mythology of the time. It is too likely that Moses either invented the God or just tied other mythological tales together and said that his god did it. Their creation story is a joke. The Samson fable is a joke. The Sodom and Gomorrah story may be based on historical evidence but is also a joke.

Answer 5

Both... It is improbable that an unseen being gathered up nothing and made something, then took clay and made a man.

It is impossible that people believe this (and all the other mystical happenings in the bible) and yet they don't believe in the occult or other magicks.

Answer 6

well, paradox is inherent in all systems of belief, so i guess i could side with improbable. i don't really know where to begin when you ask why i think so (why i think improbable versus probable); usually i answer things like that by saying that atheism is the default belief and that i would need some shred of evidence before i needed to defend atheism.

Answer 7

It totally defies logic. You or I could make better decisions than God. I would expect a supreme deity to have a perfection in philosophy.

Highly improbable.

Answer 8

impossible, there is no way some divine being created the whole universe and is primarily concerned with some land on Earth being clearly designated as his and an elite group known as Jews are like his children who have the right to own and enslave all others and use up the earths resources ,cause God entitled them. bah humbug!

Answer 9

Highly improbable. There's no evidence for the existence of a supreme deity.

Answer 10

The idea is not impossible. But it is provably useless. Since neither the existence nor non-existence of god can be demonstrated, it follows that no theory of god can have any consequences in the real world.
