I agree with you.  When you REALLY look at the horrors of tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, epidemics, etc... I don't see how to reconcile it with a "loving" god. As for evolution, 300 years ago, people atributed lightning, earthquakes, infection, miscarriages, adn other stuff to god's will.  Now we know there are physical processes going on that can basically explain these things.  So why hold out for creation of life? We'll probably have even better answers in 50 years and then what?  Wel... god must be still be in the big bang! yeah that's it!  Silly.\n\nAnd why did humans only live on average into their 30's for the past 2,000 years? Now we live to mid-70's (in US).  Because of god?  Or science?  God was pretty important for westerners, the chuch ran just about everything.  But health didn't improve until medicine did.\n\n100 years ago, literally 50% of children died within 1 year.  This is god's perfect creation?  Humans are god's perfect design?  That's funny.

Nope.  That whole "thou shalt have no other gods before me" thing is kind of out the window.  Not that I ever had any spiritual experiences in Christianity anyway.

Makes sense to me.\n\nActually...under that definition, I might be the only person here who ISN'T an atheist.\n\nWow. That's a strange thought...

I don't really think that that type of 'god' exists.

There is no god.\n\nErgo, things just happen.  Prayer means nothing-- there's nobody to pray to.\n\nDon't live a lie, stop believing in FAIRY TALES!

God, in the context of your question, does not really exist.  I mean, God doesn't allow or prevent anything. That is our choice.  The question you should ask yourself is what does God want from me, instead of what do I want from him.  See there is no giving God like if he was a store attendant, there is only God...THE GOD.\n\nI am firm believer of THE GOD as the almighty being in all that is conceivable by my ignorant mind.  As such, the only true question for me (for all of us) is what does God want of me.

I'm not an Athiest, I'm Agnostic. And I won't tell you that there is no God, because I do believe there is one. It sounds like what you have is Faith, not religion. Which is good, it's something I never had. \n\nAnd, as a side note, it's not a religion, it's a relationship. So it matters not that you don't follow the practices. You pray and you have faith and a walk with God, then that is all you need. Well, that and the Bible. It does have some really good things that it has to say if you dig deep.

No.  There is no god.  There's no evidence pointing toward the existence of a god or gods, and no reason to suspect that such evidence just hasn't been found yet.

There is a huge amount of evidence proving that the god of Abraham, and the bible, as it's written, is nonsense.\n\nIf you don't know about this evidence, or choose to ignore it, or try to fit it back into the mold of your bible, then I can't help you.  You just need a reality check.\n\nIs there proof that there is no God of any kind?  No.  There is also no proof that there is no Santa Claus.  I don't believe in him, either.  But regardless, god or not, none of us atheists would have a problem with you believing in him, as long as you didn't profess to KNOW what God wants and/or commands, and then try to push your nonsense on the rest of us by passing laws and electing officials who are equally deranged.\n\nIf you would get out of our lives, we could care less what sort of hocus pocus you practice.  But since you won't get out of our lives, that's why we come after you, to try to educate you.  And trust me, we don't want to, brother... And we shouldn't have to.  Unfortunately, it's our burden for right now.

Are you searching to find God on here?  All i can say is He is everywhere he never leaves you and He is waiting for you with open arms to accept Him.  Read the bible and pray. He will show Himself to you.  None of us can prove He exsists to you only He can. Open your mind and heart to Him.  God Bless!!\nIt just seems that way but im sorry if i offended you in anyway.  God Bless!!

when you break it all down, nobody can prove or disprove god's existence. \n\ni find it strange that ppl can be so single minded when it comes to this topic. some ppl are perfectly willing to believe in something that has no proof, and when others disagree with them, they cant fathom how anyone could be so stupid. \n\nand others that dont believe in god because theres no solid proof,  they cant fathom how anyone can believe in something that has no evidence (even though theres no evidence god DOESNT exist. the absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence)\n\ni mean, i've never seen a billion dollars. prove to me it exists. well, i'm never going to have a billion dollars in my possession, so i dont have to believe in it right? well, that doesnt mean its not out there. and i've read a book about a cat in a hat and some green eggs and ham, but that doesnt make it true. and just because the bible says the bible is true, doesnt make it so. i mean, i can kill someone and then write a book about how i didnt do it, but thats not proof i didnt do it. \n\nbut i think the idea of faith is that you can connect with something you feel on the inside, feeling that you belong to something greater than what we understand in this world. and thats a powerful thing, whether its true or not. its easy to have faith when all the answers are right in front of you, but anyone thats read the bible and really thought about it objectively knows that the bible doesnt give you all the answers. and it wasnt meant to, it was meant to teach ppl how to be good ppl. but thats the whole idea, trying to be more than what we are, trying to be better. having faith takes something inside. \n\nand i can understand that an atheist would reject this idea, because they truly believe theres not a god as much as the god worshippers believe that there is one. so really ,they're doing the same thing, they're sticking to their beliefs and what they feel inside. \n\nbut we'd all be much better off if we stopped trying to convince each other. if we all realized that both sides are doing the exact same things from opposite sides of the coin...... lol, well.... its a pointless debate.

You can't force God on anyone they have to except him on there own. Have you ever taken the time to see, if he would be interested in finding God.

Well simply, if you don't go by the bible (or other religious texts), then there is nothing to tell me there is a god.\n\nTherefore there is nothing to believe or disbelieve anything about a god, because without the bible pushing his existence, i have nothing to suggest he existed.  It is a non-issue/problem.\n\nThat aside: Here are the main reasons why I don't believe \nin god\n\nEvolution (including evidence of unintelligent design)\nBig Bang Theory\nHistory of Religions (diversity of opinion, and change)\nEvidence (or lack of) supporting Religions\nOther Animals\nMoral contradictions in some religious teaching.\nHow Impersonal Nature Is! (Think 'evil' in nature, natural disasters, etc, why make a world that threatens to kill it's population from a multitude of different ways)\n\nLook up parasitoids or even the more commonly known parasites! What is god's will for them! To be a burden? To kill the host?

Why bother?  If it comes to that, we will realize there is no God.  Either that or that God is a fiend.

I believe that no god could be true if he/she were swayed to and fro by the many winds of the doctrine of man.  The only God I'll follow is the one who is the same today, eternal past, and eternal future.  We are right to look to God for guidance in the art of morality.  As wrong as man is apt to be, God is the only one I'd consider even asking.

I don't think so. Then again, I don't believe in the stereotypical "God"....
