question to some atheist...

OK...im really not the kind of guy who goes around posting threads like "yo atheist tell bla bla bla" but im just doing this because something called my attention...

well in an older topic, I saw a bunch of atheist saying that they stopped believe in God because they realized that "if God really loved them why didnt they had a better life?"

I just see no sense in that...so according to them...just because God loves them, he must give them the world on a silver plate? so if you have a son and you dont give him everything in the world, does it means that you dont love your son?

sorry but I just think that the people who stopped believing because of that excuse...are just...I dont know!...they think that the world spins around them? that they need to have everything in the world?

btw...I dont want this to be a 19 pages thread...

There are many poor arguments, and that's one of them. However, there are many very good arguments, and I suggest you get into those....

Wah happen to teh question?

So how does it make you feel knowing youve been believeing in something fake?

I don't expect God to do anything special for me personally. However, there are people in this world who didn't have a chance at all. Why did your God abandon them? Simple. He doesn't exist.

I think the main arguement is "If there is a God, then why is the world the way it is?".

the bible is against incest yet how did adam and eves kids have kids:|

i find that the bible contradicts itself to much

also the lack of evidence to prove god actually exist is a big reason why im athiest

I believe you're referring to the "silly" why does God allow suffering argument. To which is replied, because man allowed sin into the world. To which I reply, isn't God all-knowing and all-powerful?

I believe that most people who follow a religion came from a religious family, And the beliefs where instilled in them from a young age. I grew up with a family that wasn't very religious which allowed me to see everything with a completely open and unbiased mindset. I've yet to see any religion that makes sense and i don't believe god is an all powerful entity. But from a scientific point of view everything had to come from somewhere and i see that something as being god.

My family wasn't very religious either. I was also raised to have an open mind and unbiased mindset. I chose to become religious later in life and never regretted my decision. I have always had and still do have an open mind and unbiased mindset much like yourself. There are quite a few religious people who were not raised as part of a religion, at least where I am from which may be different where you live I guess.

[QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"][QUOTE="lightleggy"] do you want God to send angels to deliver the kids food? God doesnt intervine like that in the world...not you or me know how he works...lightleggy

So are you saying that God allows other people to suffer so people will have faith?

So then God lets people rape, murder, kill, start wars, starve, etc, etc?

[QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"][QUOTE="lightleggy"] one thing is a little pray, like for example "pls help me at school" other is something like "COME DOWN AND HAND THE KIDS IN AFRICA SOME FOOD BY YOURSELF" tell me something... if you are in africa, and you see God comming down from the sky with a bunch of food, handing the food himself to every single kid...would you still be atheist? no, because you would have an actual concrete undeniable proof that He exist, eliminating the need of FAITHlightleggy

This is the reason why religion is a danger to society.

If people can approach religion with an open mindset i can respect whatever they choose to believe, but if people believe in something becuase its what they where told and have practices ever since they where born then i find it hard to believe they can see any other point of view openly. Also where i live i'm surrounded by mosques, temple, churches, pretty much every religion there is. Its a very religion community, but everyone seems to get along.
