I must have prayed for something like 25 or 30 years.
Not one single prayer was ever answered.

I must have prayed for something like 25 or 30 years.
Not one single prayer was ever answered.
The bottom line for me is this.

In any event, I must have prayed for something like 25 or 30 years.
Not one single prayer was ever answered.

The concept of God is logically inconsistent.
How can anything imperfect come from a perfect God?
How can there beevilin the world if God is good.
How can God have a nature at all if he is omnipotent?

God is just Santa Claus for adults.
And everybody is convinced that their religion is the only right one.
They cant all be right, but they can certainly all be wrong.
How can God simultaneously be immaterial and timeless (pure mind) and still interact with the material world?
It is also blindingly obvious that God is justSanta Clausfor adults.

I can be good without God.
There were many lessons taught in my religion class.
I am in full support to that end, which is to be a good individual.
For me, being a good person is a choice anyone can make, regardless of belief.

All of the arguments for Gods existence are ridiculously weak.
I have seen a lot of arguments for the existence of God.
And they all boil down to one or more of the following: The argument from authority.
(Example: God exists because the Bible says God exists.)
The argument from personal experience.
(Example: God exists because I feel in my heart that God exists.)
The argument that religion shouldnt have to logically defend its claims.
(Example: God is an entity that cannot be proven by reason or evidence.)
(Example: God is love.)
And all these arguments are ridiculously weak.
Sacred books and authorities can be mistaken.
I have yet to see a sacred book that doesnt have any mistakes.
(The Bible, to give just one dxample, isshot full of them.)

Evolution makes more sense.
Or they will shut you down by telling you not to ask such questions.
But the questions dont go away.
Youre left still wondering.
Then you learn about evolution and you think: that makes sense!
Then slowly the weird stories from your religion stop making sense.
You cross out the talking snakes and the walking on water and the flying horses, etc.
Okay, you think, now I have a good religion without all the hard-to-believe stuff.
That makes you uncomfortable.
You decide you need a break from religion to think things through.

People give a shot to convert atheists by insulting their intelligence and expecting enthusiastic acceptance.
I guarantee neither you nor anybody else has an argument that hasnt been tried before.
And I have never, NEVER heard of any argument that had even ahintof factual basis.
Therefore God) or utter bullshit (where does goodness come from, if not from God?).

The majority of the members of the human race still reject reality in favor of make-believe.
I think perhaps the more profound question is, Why does anyone still believe in a god?
We now understand the workings of so many things that were previously attributed to gods.
We know that we are a product of evolution and not the whimsical conjurings of a capricious deity.
Logically, the human race should had rid itself of this often-destructive cerebral error fabricated in infancy.
Why has it not?
The majority of the members of the human race still reject reality in favor of make-believe.

God will straight up send you to Hell.
That church was big on Hell.

The Christian god is logically inconsistent.
He will mete out eternal punishment for offenses committed in a finite lifespan.
This alone proves he is unjust.
The Christian god is logically inconsistent.
He will mete out eternal punishment for offenses committed in a finite lifespan.
This alone proves he is unjust.
Humanity has existed, as a distinct species, for 100200 thousand years.
This shows he is without love or mercy.
The realities of his actions disprove the claims made by his followers.

Religion is about control and limitation.
Religion is about control and limitation.
Rules, laws and rituals that restrict and govern behavior.
Which is to say nothing of the countless other horrors committed in the name of God and religion.
Suicide bombings, torture, genocide, forced marriages, unwanted babies, war the list is endless.
A life without religion and without God thus offers freedom from all of these miseries.

The God of the Bible (and the Koran, and the Book of Mormon, etc.)
already has enough going against him… Gordon

Because hes the only being supposedly powerful enough to prevent suffering yet he chooses not to.
Suppose you are God.
You created evil and calamity (Isaiah 45:7).
When horrible things happen to your creation, you watch and do nothing.
When a human steps in to solve the problem, you take the credit and demand to be praised.
