Atheists: What are your arguments agianst God?

Question

Please no arguments such as "I don't believe in fairy tales"

Answer 1

Utter lack of evidence.

What are your reasons for not believing that there are polka-dotted chimpanzees dancing on your head?
-----------------
I predict that you will completely ignore the responses of the dozen or so of us who pointed out that there's no evidence for the existence of any gods, and glom onto the responses of the one or two folks who mentioned something about bad events in the world.

Answer 2

1) God is everywhere and has ultimate, infinite power.
2) God knows everything, both that has happened and WILL happen.
3) Human beings, his creation, have free will, and because of that we live in sin (and needed to be saved by Christ's sacrifice).
4) But if human beings have free will, and are responsible for our sin, then God does NOT know everything and does not have infinite power. It is not possible.
5) If there are limits to God's power, which there evidently are, at the very least he can make no claims to being the god he is assumed to be. By extension, logic dictates that those powers are further delimited to the point where there is no possibility of god existing at all.
6) Therefore, God does not exist.

That and that every single phenomenon formerly attributed to God has a much more convincing scientific explanation (including the First Cause - read up on quanta and Higgs Particles).





AND I don't believe in fairy tales.

Answer 3

i am not exactly an atheist.

i am born a Buddhist. i've tried being a christian but cant , due to many reason that many other christian don't bother to understand neither would they .

unlike what some others may think , that all buddhist or that all buddhist are atheist , there are a large number of buddhist that believe in the Goddess of Mercy and yep , at the very least , she's a diety in a sense.

but , still since i have concious knowledge of my existence ( about 2~3 years old ) , i have been suspecting till now , whether does all those gods , demons , ghost etc are just my wishing thinking or do they truly exist.

i am being honest of how i feel .

when you look at some real dam nice dude , die in car accident at no fault of their own , and those rapist , kingpins etc getting scot free , it just make me suspect even more

Answer 4

Mostly the fact that several thousand other gods exist but also the fact that there is zero evidence to support the idea that such a being exists or ever existed.

Answer 5

First of all, please define what you mean by God.
God seems to be a wonderfully amorphous term, it means whatever the person using it wants it to mean at the exact moment they are using it. If you read the Bible Gods properties and attributes change at random.
If it is practically impossible to disprove a negative proposition, it is even worse if nobody wants to clearly state what the proposition is.

But, every time a well formed definition of God has been offered it has been rapidly and completely disproved. That is the big reason why the Christians Jews and Muslims define their God as undefinable.

But to define something as undefinable is to effectively deny that it has any existence...

Answer 6

Because there is no evidence. The burden of proof lies with believers who are making extraordinary claims to provide some compelling evidence, rather than just dusty books that were clearly written by men.

What are your arguments for not believing in the many other deities that you could potentially believe in?

Atheists just believe in one less god than you do.

Answer 7

Because every observation I have made of the world is better explained by their being non God. My arguments against God are the same as YOUR arguments against God, accept my argument is against all Gods, and you choose (for no good reason) to only use those arguments against everyone else's Gods.

Answer 8

Intellectual laziness again. It's amazing how often theists ask questions like this, expecting us to do all the work, even though it's THEIR ridiculous claims they want us to accept.

We don't have to argue against God. You are the one who claims that God exists, so what are your arguments FOR God?

And we don't owe you any explanations, nor do we have to justify our rejection of your beliefs. You have no evidence to back up your claims; therefore, I reject them out of hand as unsubstantiated. Either give us good reason to believe you, or get off our backs because we will NEVER just take what you say on faith.

Answer 9

Because there have been many disasters in which both Christians and Atheists were equally affected. I see that as evidence that God may not exist, because He didn't protect the believers after all they'd done in their lives devoting themselves to God.

Answer 10

societies where belief is strong tend to be poorer than secular ones.

they are also nearly always technologically inferior, socially more stagnant, less democratic, and simply nastier (misogyny, homophobia, racism).

if there be a god one can only deduce that he is some kind of a sociopath.

i cannot get my mind round the idea of a wicked god. but all the evidence there is points that way.

Answer 11

I don't need arguments against god. It should be up to the gods/their self-appointed "believers" to be presenting arguments and seeing as there is nothing convincing out there nor any reason to fall for it, I don't believe in any of them. There is a total lack of proof nor any reason for belief.
