God doesn't exist...

Shark Atack Asked by funadvice 5 months ago, 114 answers.

why do people say that god exists when the only proof we have is the bible...
some man or woman with a reeeally weird imagination could have just sat and wrote that for the sake of it.
if god loves us so much why is he not performing these 'miracles'...

that he did millions of years ago?
why is he not making it clear that he actually does exist- which he doesn't?
dont you think if the people who wrote the bible spoke about flying pigs do you think everyone would believe in that?
and whats with the no sex before marriage... how is having sex with someone a sin? Adam and Eve werent married when they suposedly f*cked and made us all...
and last but not least how was god created?

I agree with you but you need faith. I know it sounds like bs but honestly, when I pray and help others, good things come may way.Coincidence? maybe. but I might as well not take any chances.
xoxo good luck

thats why im a proud athiest
and not just for those reasons
the christian god has suposedly killed millions of people
and kills people for there sins
even though he created both them and sins
he would be a disgusting thing
who is hell-bent on killing the things that he created
also if adam and eve were real we would be practicing incest, we would all be related and majority of us would have mental disabilities and other horrible things
in my opinion there is NOTHING in the bible that makes any sense
and christianity is particular has just caused a lot of wars, and has created a lot of preachers who think its there job to convert everyone
even though their god doesnt care if you belive in it or not

Slavery of Christ
When you hear the word slave what do you think of? Well the first thing that would probably come to mind is slavery in early America. It may come as a surprise to many that according to the bible slavery is not only allowed but actually encouraged. Right now there are about 7 billion people on earth and nearly every one is considered a slave.
So then why would a loving G-d be so supportive of a practice that degrades us humans and places us in the servitude of others? Well a slave is defined as anyone who works hard for a person, a household or even an idea. By that definition we could all be slaves to our family, jobs and money. Our founding fathers were slaves to the idea of a free nation (irony noted).
It is important to note that the difference between G-d’s laws vastly differ from the laws of man concerning slavery. The slaves in the bible were actually apprentices, released after six years of service. According to G-d’s law they should be richly rewarded Deuteronomy 15:12, and treated fairly Colossians 4:1. The ethics of man in all things are inferior to the righteousness of G-d. Clearly we can see the distinction between slavery of G-d and the slavery of man.

Where do babies go when they die?
The death of the body can happen from anything, personal sin, or the sin of another. In Ezekiel 18:20 we learn that the death of the soul is a result of the wickedness of the soul and that the son shall not pay for the sins of the father. If a man can not intellectually discern right from wrong then he can not be held accountable, nowhere in the bible does it say otherwise. G-d isn’t a lawyer out to condemn as many people as possible.

Why do bad things happen to good people?
It is clear that throughout the bible from the gentiles to the prophets they all had something in common and that was sin. It is because of his love he gave us free will, this free will has empowered the wicked to do evil, and the good to be righteous. The reason bad things happen to good people is because bad people do bad things to good people. You can not judge yourself or even another based on personal opinion, that is not justice. There was only one man who could be called a good person but he volunteered to be condemned.

Why won’t G-d heal an amputee?
There has been an explosion of technology because of our imperfections. For every disability there is money being raised to fight it and that is where you will find G-d. Granted some amputees are a more inconvenient the others but just look at what we have learned and developed. It is just a matter of time before we can create a fully functioning limb, you can find miracles in modern engineering.

Why does science tell a different story?
The earth is not 6000 years old. Where in the bible does it say the earth is 6000 years old? Where in the bible does it say that G-d and man have the same concept of time? To man a day is the time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis. To the planet Mars its an additional 41 minutes, Neptune is 16 hours so can we be so sure that to G-d a day is 24 hours? G-d had just created planet earth, he was not a resident of planet earth or any planet so far as we know. Even still if the earth is 6000 years old and G-d created the earth in six days, who is to argue that G-d is not powerful enough to do that. it’s the whole reason we call him G-d because he is all powerful, if he can create a fully grown man, what is to say that he can not create a fully grown planet?

Is Yeshua mentioned outside of the bible?
One of the important aspects of this time period was Roman law. The Romans are the authors of many laws that we have today. In fact the census was first used in Rome right about the time of Yeshua, and the census does show that he was there. Now onward to validate the claims, if you were to look at the Roman records you will find Pontius Pilate and all of his reports which describes what the bible says. This only validates the death though, the interesting part is where you find independent journals. If you were to go through these independent journals it would take a life time because there are thousands. The bible was not written by one man with a good imagination but many men during different time periods yet amazingly enough each story gives an accurate depiction of Yeshua, G-d or both. So if you read the new testament you will find different authors all of which claim the same exact thing, just from different angles.

Total BS and historical whitewashing. The bible is quite clear on slavery, and it's not some airy fairy 'apprenticeship'.

Exodus 21:20-21
And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

Exodus 22:3
If he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

Leviticus 25:44-46
Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever.

Everyone needs something to believe in--that is why religion exists.
At some point and time some time of higher being was created to create a sense of security to the people. Over the years, others created numerous other different types of supreme being. Be it cow, invisible deities, or whatever they were developed to fit the culture where they were *presiding over*.
If anything regarding religion were true, surely wouldn't there be only one ***G-d***. Each religion believes that not worshipping the way *they* do, then you will go to hell. And, each individual religion believes it is the *true* religion, gospel, what have you. So...who is right? And before you say God and. Christianity--well, they're all going to say they're the **one true religion**,
Who's right? Or is anyone??
And lastly, if there were truly a G-d who loves us and everything so very much---why would he allow so many wars, feuds, and deaths occur for the sake of him or religion? There have been more wars caused by religion than any other cause... ever!

Exodus 22:3 is not refering to slaves, it's refering to a thief stealing. Biblical slavery was a form of honor for a person. At that time in history slaves were cared for and the punishment for the slave owners, by the judges, was harsh. Plus the slaves were then given an option after the year of jubilee to leave, freely, or to remain as a slave to his owner. Slaves were well taken care of and seen as a great asset to their master because of their dedication to the master. The other side of the coin of biblical slavery was Israel's captivity in Egypt, Babylon, Assyria etc., where they were treated ruthlessly by their captors.
Also, people get the idea that God is a tyrannical, sadistic ogre just waiting to smite thee with a curse. This is just not true. The law of the harvest comes to mind. We reap what we sow. If you plant corn in a field you won't harvest bananas. If we sow kindness, love, understanding, grace etc, rest assured that most times we'll reap the same. Sow discord, hate, malice and the like and you will reap the same. Almost similar to what the world calls, Karma.

Yes, and then being SOLD INTO SLAVERY for it.

I'm sure the people being forced to labour for others really appreciated that.

I'm astounded you're actually trying to _defend_ slavery as a good thing.

***I agree with you but you need faith***

WRONG. You don't *need* faith. Some people merely choose to cling to it so they aren't so fearful. Like a 2 year old clinging to a blankie.

***I agree with tseirpeht. He is one insightful person.***

That's your opinion. Plenty would beg to differ.

There is no proof of God or of any god(s), but that being said, there is no proof that he/she/them do exist. It is possible that God(s) exist in a different way than we think. God(s) may be there only to judge when we die, or to guide us into the next life, or to ease us through death.

I am not a Christian, Muslim, Catholic, or anything else, but I do believe that some sort of deity or multiple deities exist.

People say that he exists because THE BELIEVE that he exists...

the problem is getting them to admit that it is a belief and not evidence.
