It seems believers like to believe what's convinient for them, apparently God helps people's lives, people try to justify god by saying "I know god answers my prayers", so the all loving god will help us get a date on friday night but won't help the millions of starving hungry children, whenever something good happens it seems to be god whereas the bad things are apparently down to ourselves. My personal favourite is "When my wife died 2 years ago, I wouldn't of got through it only for god", it makes me laught, if a thug robbed you for your cellphone but let you keep the simcard, should we thank them, Would we?

YOur argument against the argument fails at 3 factors. you could not set up a great by making use of a detrimental. Evil must be defined a definite way, yet a definition establishes not something. God isn't the absence of evil purely because of the fact evil is the absence of excellent, that's illogical. i'm not a male yet you could not say i'm the absence of male !!! i may well be a canines or a toaster or a library e book. If God is omnipresent -- and he's -- His love continues to be below His Freedom. You deny freedom to God. and finally, after commencing with evil as an absence you're making it something useful on your final fact : the international is awash in evil. Corrupt thinking. by making use of the way, as a historic actuality, many present day converts i comprehend of have been rather converted by making use of noticing evil first !!

God does not give us stuff, that we have not earned though appropriate work. We must face the consequences of what we do and what we neglect. Life is meant to be challenging. If humanity chooses not to solve the problems it has, why should a moral God solve our problems for us. We should have to earn result, by putting in the proper effort:: no ill gotten gains. Now if we make an effort to connect with God , this will be rewarded, with guidance and helpful intuition. God is not simple, so don't think that you can figure him out without a lot of meditation and prayer. You don't want to misrepresent him, if you can help it. But if you search hard, you will get some type of picture of him in your mind, that will work for you.

Don't speak of things you don't understand. God does not need justification. He does answer prayer all the time. Just because as an unbeliever, you haven't experienced God's love and forgiveness...doesn't mean it doesn't exist. He shows mercy on those who love him. He doesn't hear a sinner's prayer,,except one unto repentance...so unless you get saved, you will never experience an answered prayer.

It's very simple...until you believe you will never experience the Love, Grace, and Mercy of God, nor will he answer your prayers because He can not hear you.
I can assure you that God has no concern with your dating life.
Although it is unfortunate that they are starving children in the world; it is not because God won't help them it is simply because they (speaking of the adults not the children) have not asked for his help. There are bad things that happen to people everyday that God has nothing to do with, but if you give your life to Him He will help you through it.
I would bet my life that there is not a starving Christian in this world. That is one of the benefits of be a Christian, not having to worry. You may go through had times, but He will always see you through.
The Bible clearly teaches Christians to avoid worrying. In Philippians 4:6, we are commanded, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." In this Scripture, we learn that we should bring all of our needs and concerns to God in prayer rather than worry about them. Jesus also teaches believers to not worry. He encourages us to avoid worrying about our physical needs like clothing and food. Jesus assures us that our Heavenly Father will take care of all our needs . Therefore, we need not worry about anything.
Matthew 6:31-34
31) So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32) For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33) But seek first his kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34) Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

God is here to help the local football team win the match...of course ! or bring back our son from the war in one piece,
or pay the bills, ...
always easier to assume there is a god - or that there is a god that cares about humans - rather than face reality -

It's more logical for man to believe in God than not to believe at all!

Of course we would not thank the mugger. Similarly, people would not worship me if I gave little kids cancer just to show them the 'error in their ways'.

since you have no question I will ask you one
why do you rant about some random crap about how God isn't there when we only talk about how he is good?
do you seriously have no life? i mean to waste your time just venting your anger against God doesn't make sense
