Answer 4

purely a observe, there is not any reason that a god, if it existed, might desire to no longer be shown, to declare it won't be able to is in basic terms an excuse. Sorry, we've humored the believers for see you later that folk settle for the thought that a god won't be able to be shown as properly suited. the only reason I even have "themes" with Christianity is that it is the only, greatest impression on the society that I stay in. And no, I base my atheism on the info, or to that end the utter loss of it, quite than on "themes". the element is, i'm no longer an atheist because of the fact of hell or god being immoral (those are in basic terms helping info), i'm an atheist because of the fact there is not any info for any variety of god. Edit: in the case that an all helpful god exists, or a minimum of one helpful sufficient to create the universe, and that it stimulated the writing of a decision of books like the Bible; does not that god have the potential, if no longer the activity, to make certain that it grow to be properly suited? evaluate it as a tribulation, if a witness testifies and makes some errors this is comprehensible, yet while that witness grow to be a god (and the author of all this is holy), we in basic terms do no longer anticipate it to make any errors.
