For me, what irritates me isn't whether this being exists or doesn't exist. If a god does exist, this god definitely leans towards evil or, at the very least, chaotic.
However, what strikes me is the fact that he's worshipped and praised. If this god does exist, they're most certainly not great.
Let's say the stories in the Bible are all true. I don't know if they are or aren't and don't lean either way. Taken at face value, God in this book is, to put it plainly, just the worst. I don't understand why people claim to love God so much and that he's the light. He's a maniac.

Look at what humans do. Look at what we've done to the earth. WE humans are the problem. Let's point the fingers squarely at what the problem is. The problem is US. The HUMAN RACE.

God is real. Why he let's us suffer I dont know. Christians blame it on the devil and free will. Bible says he wont let us suffer more than we can handle but it's clear everyone on this forum has been giving more than we can take as were desperately trying to end our pain by taking our lifes.

It's horrible the way people suffer. I don't know if anyone else is physically ill or not but I was watching some videos of people drying of congestive heart failure, liver failure and things like that and it is just beyond belief how people suffer and how doctors allow them to suffer. It's inhumane not to give people a way out.

Ok. Let's think logically. If God is the so-called creator who knows everythinh before it happens, and he knows the very number of hairs on our heads, WHY would any loving God create people who he already knows will have a life full of depression and heartbreak, bullying, you name it? It is God's fault that anyone goes through any suicidal ideation because he knew it would happen before creating you. This is selfish and heartless. Why not refrain from creating people when he knows their lufe will be miserable? Why? God pretends to give you free will, but then threatens you with eternal.hell of fire if you choosenot to serve him. Thus, God really is a narcissistic, egotistical control freak or essentially bullies you into serving him or you burn.eternnally. no loving God would do this. Everyone here who is going through anything has God to blame, not yourself. We were put here against our will and forced to serve a God who masks his narcissism as so-calledlive. Lies. If you knew your life would be full of torment, you probably would wish you were never born. It is a senseless life that God creates for vainglory to feed his selfish ego-an abuse of power.
EXACTLY! I think this is proof enough that he doesn't exist. If he did then he must be one selfish being to let something like that happen and just sit there and do absolutely nothing about it. I HATE MY LIFE!!!! I asked 'god" to take me (death) in like a million different ways. Nothing happened. first off, if he existed in the first place, I would have gotten a direct answer. Second, if he existed and was truly the merciful, loving, compassionate being that people claim he is, then I wouldn't be here. I would be dead, like I asked. god is just a really advanced lie. He was conditioned and brainwashed in to people for 2 millennials(or more giving that the historical evidence of Jesus could very well be older than 2k years ago). When people die, maybe they see what they want, or maybe they aren't actually dead at all. God is no more than a brain phenomenon experienced by a lucky few. I'm not one of them and I'm sure I won't be.

She is not santa clause. She is not a fairy godmother. She is not a monster. She is simply someone who leaves us to our own devices. No idea why people think she is responsible for their happiness.

that sounds like the epicurean view of the gods-- they are "completely separate from the rest of reality; they are uninterested in it, play no role in it, and remain completely undisturbed by it. Instead, the gods live in what is called the metakosmia, or the space between worlds"

On this view of God, doesn't that make it an irrelevant entity?

Because the ultimate goal, the place where we will go for eternity is so beautiful that all of this here will be worth it.

This life is just the blink of an eye compared to what eternity will be like.

:heart:
