xxfrecklesxx: I have friends here in Spain, and elderly couple who believe in God and go to church every week, and they are having nothing but bad luck,



Have you ever asked them to explain the reason for their faith despite their "bad luck"? If you did and were willing to really listen you might learn a great deal about the true meaning of faith.

xxfrecklesxx: sorry but that is nonsense... I dont beleive but I have everything I want.. a beautiful daughter, good health, a nice life.. so how can you say I have nothing??..

I dont need a 'god' to help me, ive managed long enough with 'no faith'

but trying telling that to the people that are suffering and 'do' beleive, the ones who have lost loved ones due to disasters, famine, and illness..... babies who are born to believers, but die in childhood from cancer...

sorry, but why would 'god' make them suffer...

I have friends here in Spain, and elderly couple who believe in God and go to church every week, and they are having nothing but bad luck,


We live our lives as it is dealt to us. Like you as a parent, when something happens to your kids, you are there to help them. That is how it works in his kingdom. I have had my problems, but he has been by my side to help. With his help, I've always landed on my feet. We will all die at some point, why it happens in his kingdom is not for me to figure out. As you, I live the best life I can helping those around me, that is it. My time will come and so be it. But I can tell you he has been there for me when I have asked for his help....actually he has been there even before I could ask for his help.

I do not got to church or do any formal worship. I thank him everyday for what he has given me and what he will. We aren't talking monetary rather healthy and happy family and many friends. That's all I can ask for.

I don't. Why is simple: after having a look over most of the arguments in support (and the fact that they have been comprehensively eviscerated) I cannot reasonably believe.

As such, I identify as atheist. I concede I might be wrong, but I choose evidence over feelings on such matters.

If you believe in God, do you believe in Heaven and Hell?
How do you justify people from, for example the Amazon Basin, being condemned to hell simply because they have never heard of the Christian God? Is it right that simple ignorance is a crime worthy of hell? Is a God who sends people to hell for simple ignorance an arbitrary cruel God unworthy of worship?

No ive never asked them, as I have no interest in 'God' though a lot of people of their age from then UK, were bought up more religious than I was, I was allowed to make my own mind up where God is concerned, rather than have it drilled into me, I did do religious education at school and came top in my class, and I did find it interesting, But, it was at that age I started to question it, and came to the conclusion that God does not exist,

Each to their own I guess and no one will every be able to change my views on it...

Though I wish a 'beliver' would come up with an answer to why God would let people suffer from famine, earthquakes, etc....

I gather you don't know the name Ahura Mazda. It is the uncreated God of Zoroaster. But in fact, the Japanese borrowed the name of the God to use for the car of the same name earlier this century. I can imagine that the Zoroastrians weren't very pleased about that.

Which one? You're going to have to provide a specific name. There have been thousands of mythical "gods" throughout history, many of which have more archeological evidence than others. For example, all the places mentioned in the Iliad and Odyssey actually exist and are geographically correct, which is more than can be said for the buybull.

Unless you prove one exists, yours remains as false and non-existent as all the others. Books of fairy tales do no constitute "proof", no matter how many people believe the lies in them; numbers don't make the argument "right".
