Answer 2

earlier you are able to ask in case you missed any, you will desire to offer some motives first. Love? Any emotion is chemically based interior the strategies. elegance? What approximately all of people who're seen no longer eye-catching? Did god love them below others? Rediculous. Morality isn't unique to god or faith. Cultures who don't have a god or a distinctive god have morals besides. close to-tragic activities? What does this recommend? God became into toying around and then went, "Gotcha!"? Complexity of existence. there's a sturdy one.. What does that recommend? existence is complicated how? Or do you recommend particular species? particular, there is complexity in our bodies yet why might god supply us an appendix if we don't use it? Absurd. Finely-tuned universe? Nope. each and each year, the moon drifts faraway from the earth on the cost of a million inch. at last, that's going to waft some distance adequate away to the place the earth in simple terms isn't waiting to maintain existence. How is that for finely tuned? Prophecies? which of them? Please clarify. finally.. reports.. nicely, we on my own administration our reports. i won't be in a position to credit or blame god for that.

Answer 3

I think the bible itself is good evidence for the non-existance of the biblical god.

"Seek, and you will find" is good evidence. Enough people have sought god and not found him for that verse to be empirically proven false.

Another such verse is "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours". Another thing empirically proven false. (I would also like to add here, Mark 11 says nothing about your prayers only if they are within gods will - but I will ignore that for the sake of this). Sincere people have prayed for good things and not had them answered (an answer no is manipulating the evidence to fit the bible) Therefore I conclude there is no-one to answer prayers, thus no biblical god.

On a wider scale, I do not think there is any conclusive evidence for or against the existance of a higher spiritual being of some kind. Hence I am an agnostic. I have not seen evidence for the existance of one, so I see no reason to suppose one exists. Hence I am an atheistic agnostic.

Answer 4

I like the omnipotence paradox.

One way to disprove the existence of an almighty god is that omnipotence leads to paradoxes. Can god make a rock that is too heavy for him to carry? Can god build a wall that even he can't tear down?

Also, if god knows everything, he knows what he will do in the "future" (in any dimension, not necessary the time dimension). He must have known that from the very start of his own existence. Thus god's actions are predestined. God is tied by faith, he has no free will. If god has no free will god is not omnipotent. Another way to put it is that to be able to make plans and decisions one must act over time. If god stands above time he can not do that and has no free will. Indeed, if god stands above all dimensions god is dimensionless - a singularity, nothing, void!

Besides there can exist no free wills at all if god is almighty. If you had a free will, god wouldn't know what you would do tomorrow and wouldn't be omnipotent.

Answer 5

This is only half joking......"may god strike me down if I'm wrong....." and nobody gets struck down.

Or how about rape and torture? These are probably worse than actually dying. If there was a god, why would he allow a child to be raped? Free will is one thing, but if he has the power to stop something like that, then he should.

And if god does exist and doesn't stop those things, then it is not a god I want to be following anyway.

Evil persists when good men do nothing. This applies to god as well.

Answer 6

Well upon seeing how everything is put together with everything working so well together i find it hard to believe it is all by chance.

I have no proof and I ask no one else to believe what i believe. My God is a sum total of the mutliverse, which makes us all small bits of God, and has light and dark aspects. It is just what makes sense to me and what makes me feel comfortable...agree or not I don't care.


Joe D> OK but why do we keep blaming "God" for human faults? Humans create our own misery, and as such humans should resolve it. I would not want God stepping in every 5 seconds just like I wear seat belt but I don't think government should be forcing me to, and I don't like terrorists but I don't think we should declare martial law. Dunno that is me but i see the point about a perfect being creating a flawed system.

Answer 7

The Hebrew God failed miserably. His followers claimed he would defeat their enemies, but he couldn't stop the Persians, Babylonians, Greeks, Assyrians, Romans, etc, etc, etc.

By the end of the Book, he's nailed to a cross by the Romans and rejected by the Jews.

I say he deserved it.

Then to top it all off, he defects and joins the Romans. Sounds like they were too powerful for him.

Answer 8

None of the ancient religions were monotheistic. If someone studies the ancient Egyptian/Greek/Norse/Assyrian mythologies all prove that there were "Gods" not "God".The bible is a rip-off from ancient texts replacing "Gods" with "God". Its obvious that the monotheistic religions are a bogus.

Answer 9

There's no evidence to prove God exists therefore atheism is the logical default.

Answer 10

Nearly everything in the universe can be explained as the result of natural processes and their interaction. I see no reason why the rest would not also be governed by them. All of the creation myths fall woefully short of what we understand of the universe and its history.

Answer 11

honestly i can not speak for some of the other commenters, all i can say is that i KNOW God is real. i can remember my life before i knew Him, the time when i asked for fogiveness of my sins and invited Him into my heart and my life, and i now i can see that i am not who i was.

all i know is how he has changed my life for the better, and what he has done for me and the other belivers i know.....but now the choice is up to you to make?? it is free, and all you gotta do is accept you have messed up, believe in Jesus' life, death for our sins, and ressurection, and then confess these things with your mouth and my Bible says that you will be saved!!
