Why do Christians always like to assume that atheists reject God because of a bad experience that they use to blame God for.
Let me make it clear to you Christians that we atheists are not angry at God or had any bad experience that we blame on God.
Since we are open-minded we actually read the Bible and learn about your religion and even consider the possibilities of God existing.
I even prayed when I was in trouble. And yes, my prayers were answered sometimes.
However, after some real soul searching and eye-opening facts about the real world and the Bible was revealed I came to a conclusion, just like most of us atheists, that Christianity and its Bible is not valid or making enough sense to believe in.
We don't just reject your God senslessly.
We have firm reasons on why your God does not exist and once we have our mind open there is nothing that will ever bring us back to delusion.
No anger or disappointments involved.
Hope you Chrisitans got that.

Just for the record.
It is faithful Christians like yourself that convert to atheists due to dissapointment in God.

The prayers answered were actually coincidences of what would have happened despite praying.
That is the case for all of your prayers if you will.

Well, as a born again Christian, I know God says that, anyone who is outside of Christ, not being born again, are 'blind' and 'lost' spiritually because God will not give them spiritual understanding of His word. You cannot understand the bible without God's guidance and intervention in your life. That is why you cannot understand or make sense of the bible. God only dwells with those that have turned to Christ for salvation; only those saved by God have God's guidance and direction to understand His word, though not fully because of our human, finite minds, we cannot understand it all.
No matter what happens in your life, God is not to blame. It is man that is to blame because of sin, wickedness, defiance and rebellion against God.

I have been disappointed many times by people, but never by God. He is wonderful to me. I am glad to hear that your prayers were answered, because He loves you alot, he will answer more. You were very thoughtful and expressed yourself well, I enjoyed reading your opinion. You seem like you are a very kind and caring person and that is wonderful because the world needs people like that.

It is true that a book is not a path to spiritual enlightenment. You must form ur beliefs from ur experiences. I was once a complete atheist but acid changed that. I have become aware of a spiritually reality....i tend to think science and organized religion are both a bit off in their understanding of existence

Just out of curiosity...
"And yes, my prayers were answered sometimes."
Answered...by whom? The God you have "firm reasons" for believing doesn't exist?

We are also not angry at the tooth fairy.

Can you people please stop this combative atmosphere here on answers. Please be nice to each other and respect each others views. I dont see a question in the above statement either, its a speech.
