Atheists- Give me five reasons why God isn't real?

Answer 1

Well, if He is a perfect entity and wrote the Bible as so many claim, you can find far more than 5 reasons here:
www.infidels.org/library/modern/donald_morgan/inconsistencies.html
1. GE 6:6. EX 32:14, NU 14:20, 1SA 15:35, 2SA 24:16 God does change his mind.
NU 23:19-20, 1SA 15:29, JA 1:17 God does not change his mind.
2. GE 1:3-5 On the first day, God created light, then separated light and darkness.
GE 1:14-19 The sun (which separates night and day) wasn't created until the fourth day.

3. GE 1:11-12, 26-27 Trees were created before man was created.
GE 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created.

4. GE 1:20-21, 26-27 Birds were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before birds were created.

5. EX 20:4 God prohibits the making of any graven images whatsoever.
EX 25:18 God enjoins the making of two graven images.

Give one reason, without using the Bible, that He is real.

Answer 2

All of these depend on your definition of God.

1. The problem of suffering: If a all-powerful, all-loving, all-knowing creator God exists, what possible reason would it have to introduce suffering into the world, knowing that people & animals would be tortured and die just as a part of existence.

2. The problem of intervention in the natural world: If god intervenes to break natural laws, then no scientific theories could hold water, because it would have to be included in the write-up of each experiment, "Or this could have been a miracle from God and all our data is therefore moot."

3. The problem of bad biological design. If god were an intelligent designer/creator, then it would have been better able to design human and animal biology to render better functioning and improve on our extremely weak physiological structures. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_poor_design )

4. The problem of lack of evidence (god of the gaps): God's realm is often claimed to be the areas where science does not have knowledge. However, from the natural world to the inner neurological world to the cosmological universe, greater knowledge is pushing god out of more and more gaps and replacing the god theory with scientific theory. This process is so repetitive, it is impossible any longer to find a gap in knowledge that is left for god to inhabit.

5. The problem of a God who can change his mind: A god that can change its mind based on supplication from followers is neither all knowing nor all good. Inevitably, if it changes its mind, then it didn't know that its followers were going to ask for something new. By favoring one group over another, this god is not all beneficent.

Answer 3

Ok but in exchange you have to give me five reasons the Invisible Pink Unicorn isn't.

1. Which god?
2. You believe all the 2800 aren't, I just go one step further.
3. The Christian god is listed as perfect and can't create something that it can't lift.
4. Why would a "loving" god allow the creation of Satan?

I actually did it in one but you got 4 anyways.

Answer 4

1. Someone introduced you to religion, no one is born to "follow gods word" you just like terrorists are brought up in that way so you think its the correct way.

2. Cannot prove gods existed cause it happend 2000+ years ago.

3. A virgin giving birth? Kinda iffy there lol, how does one become pregnant out of no where.

4. Source of money, world would be a better place if no religion existed.

5. You cannot prove the after life so does it matter if you believe or not? since you cant tell the living what happens to you after you die.

Answer 5

Carl Sagan was on a television talk show and a woman in the audience asked him if he believed in God. He responded, "That all depends on what you mean by God". She said, "What do you mean, what do I mean? God....you know... " Mr. Sagan said, "Um, no, I don't know...please explain what you are thinking of when you say God?" She went on to actually describe what God looks like...very large white male dressed in white robes, sitting on a golden throne, surrounded by little fat cherubs. Mr Sagan said, "in that case, no, I do not believe in your God, but I believe in mine which is the same God as Einstein believed in -- A God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings." So, I don't think I have to give you 5 or 2 or 17 reasons why God isn't real, because you have to tell me -- which God are you referring to?

Answer 6

one reason is sufficient: theists have never demonstrated that god is real except in the vaguest possible way: "i define god to be this feeling i get when i look at a waterfall, and the feeling is real, therefore god is real". in my view these definitions abuse the concept of 'reality' to the point of uselessness.

Answer 7

Look, I am a Christian. I feel that the existence of God is OBVIOUS; i.e., NOT just a matter of faith. I have written BOOKS on the evidence for the existence of God and haven't convinced one--not one!--atheist that God is real. Why do you want this winless debate to continue, with each side mocking the other for its narrowmindedness and even stupidity? Let it go and let them go their own way.

Answer 8

1. The "Big Bang"
2. Evolution
3. God didn't write the bible, meaning it lacks as justification. It was written by man, coincidentally, the same people who thought the world was flat.
4. There weren't many laws in biblical times, or if there were, people weren't fond of following them. The ideals of Heaven and Hell were to keep people in line.
5. If matter cannot be created nor destroyed, how can God be? Please don't tell me he "always was and always will be," because like Christians like to tell me, "Everything has a creator." If so - who is God's creator?

Answer 9

I don't need to.

You can't give one reason to think god IS real.

You give me five reasons why The Great Purple Unicorn isn't real.

You can't; does that mean it is?

Answer 10

The person making the claim (for the existence of God) has the burden of proof. It is sufficient for atheists that there is no evidence of God.
