question to athiest?

Question

what makes you think there is no God? is it because there is a lot of evil in the world, hunger, poverty, crime etc. if so dont u think God would of created the devil to see how humans would react. dont u think God has created good and evil to see if which path we take? or is it simply, there is no proof. if so my response would be that humans, plants, animals, wildlife, the stars, moon, sun, earth, all natural things in life, is that not proof 2 you?

Answer 1

No matter what I say, if it is kind, or not so kind, some christian will report my answer. So, I will make it short for you. Either God is everything, or He is nothing. Christians always try to take the ambiguous path and say that He is everything good, but not anything bad. If your God created everything, then He created Evil. You cannot say that He only gave man the chance to do what they will. If I make , say a batch of cookies and put in one bad egg, all the cookies are bad, but is that the cookies fault or the one who made the cookies?

Thank you.

Answer 2

Q.what makes you think there is no God?
A. There can be a god but we don't have any evidence.

Q. God would of created the devil to see how humans would react.
A. loving god don't have to do such things. He simply would have made humans not to do bad things. We have to suffer so much because of that so-called devil. Or god is not loving then why call him god?

Q.if so my response would be that humans, plants, animals, wildlife, the stars, moon, sun, earth, all natural things in life, is that not proof 2 you?
A. 1)That can also be a proof of FSM, ghost, spider man and pink unicorn, then how do we differentiate god from those things.
2) And all these things are natural outcome of the process taking place in the universe after the big bang

Answer 3

Im not sure how much you might think you know about religion, but if you've read the bible, god didnt create the devil. The "devil" existed in heaven as an arch angel and was cast down for his rebellious nature.
Crime, poverty, hunger are products of human existence.
The fact that all the things you listed exist bare no proof of there ever being a god since it has been proven how all those things came into being from evolution, nebulae and novas. But since you called them natural then that would get rid of god from your whole equation.
I am no atheist, atheists want to believe, they even have their own freaking churches (what does that tell you)
I have found no need for religion or the need to believe in a fictional character from a book. And I'm not looking for proof either because I know there is none. People should believe in themselves.

Answer 4

Firstly, good and evil are abstract things, so how could God create abstractions?
Why would God have to create a devil to see how people would react; isn't God smart enough to know how people would react without conducting such an experiment?
Proof? If you see and touch an animal, that is proof that he exists. It doesn't prove where he came from.
Proof? If you see and touch God, that would be proof that he exists, but noone has done that yet. If we ever get proof that God exists, then we can start on the next question. Where did God come from?
I suggest we all stop asking questions that we will never be able to answer, and stop inventing answers that are just theories with no proof whatsoever.

Answer 5

My common sense and sense of realism steers me to not believe in dieties. I was not socialized into any faith. I had a choice to believe or not instead of belieing forced into it. Athieist take responsibility for their acts. We can't and don't pass the buck to a god. When an Athiest's house is blown away from a hurricane, we know its because we lived in a high risk area. A person of faith would say it was " God's" will and they thank god they are alive. Actually they were lucky.
This is a simple fact. Religion is made to suppress the masses, the poor and the uneducated. The high majority of doctors, astronauts, sciencetists, philosophers, engineers etc throughout history were non believers.

The list goes on. The truth will set you free. I know it is hard to open ones mind. Just try.

Answer 6

There is no evidence.
An omniscient being would not have done anything 'to see how humans would react', as it would already know. Indeed that's a pretty blasphemous suggestion.
And of course the existence of natural things is not proof. And if it were, which creation myth would it be proof for? Did you just pull yours out of a hat? Is there any particular reason that you don't believe the Blue Mountain Butterfly was created by the water spirit from an Indigenous Australian child, as punishment for the child's mother eavesdropping?

Answer 7

No, you offer no real proof. One can interpret such things in many ways, besides yours. I began to see that my teachers made errors when I was quite young. I was told they knew nearly everything. One teacher wanted a United Nations flag for our school, but she bought a Confederate flag by mistake somehow. I told her about this, and I showed her pix of both flags in books. I also saw errors in the bible at age 7. I began to read at age 2 Mom says. When I began school, I read science books 6th graders could not comprehend. I realized that a deity who created the universe could not be so pathetically ignorant about it as the Bible is. The Bible has many contradictions as well, and an omniscient deity would know better than that. The Bible itself is thus the best proof that its god does not exist. There is no logical proof that any gods exist and much proof that they do not. I have studied the world's major religions. I can ask you why you believe there are no Ahuramazda, Allah, Amon, Baal, Brahma, Yu Ti, etc. Did you say, "They are not real?" Well, your god is unreal, just like them.

Answer 8

There is not evidence for God. The universe was formed by the Big Bang. Lifeforms evolved. There are scientific explanations for all your "proof".

Which God should we believe in? The Christian God outlined in the Bible - a self-contradictory text, or the old Norse Gods, the ancient Greek Gods etc.etc. etc.

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." — Stephen F Roberts.

"An atheist is someone who chooses to be moral, rather than simply giving in to fear of divine wrath."

"A man without religion is like a fish without a bicycle."

"Atheism — Your Gain, No Pain!" — Ron Barrier.

Answer 9

It's more like we have no indication as to whether there is a god, and, even if there is, whether it is God as any given faith dictates it to be. As for evil, that is largely the product of human incompetence, selfishness, and misunderstanding. Creation itself is not proof of a Creator merely because, by that same logic, the Creator also, at some point, needed something to create Him, leading into infinite, arbitrary chain of creators and createds that answers nothing. Creation does not require a God to have made it; it simply is in much the same way that many presume God to "just be".

Answer 10

what about the atheists?

I lack a belief in all gods becauses there is no evidence to suggest that any exist.

So your god is playng games? Some people have truly horrendous lives filled with pain and hunger and anguish but it's just a test by your god? Er...that doesn't sound f**ked up in the slightest. Shouldn't your god already know what path someone is going to take? I thought he/she/it knew everything.

How are humans, plants etc proof of your god? Just because you don't understand how they got here in the first place? Please!
