Discussion When did you realize that there was no God.

[Ybother]

For me personally , I thought God was someone who make wants of humans coincide . But having my life shat upon really really badly , despite working hard . (I even prayed LOL and ofc nothing happened , no help came hahaahahah) i realized that God is basically as real as unicorn

When I grew up and left the church and realized this shit ain't what its cracked up to be. There is more to say, but I'm hung over and nobody cares either way.

When I realized that prayers are never answered. Most people do mental gymnastics to avoid the truth but I couldn't anymore. I rather live in reality than exist in a lie.

to quote darwin:

"I own that I cannot see as plainly as others do, and as I should wish to do, evidence of design and beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae (wasp) with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice" -- darwin, a letter of 1860

I think an anti-god/evil-god is more likely to have created this universe, if it was created.

I was raised in a non-pratiquant family but i never believe in god, i question myself as a kid though, I was curious, i even did go the church once. And I understand why people want to believe in a god, but it just never made sense to me.
