Your favorite deity is just a regional fairy tale cooked up by delusional superstitious twits in the 7th Century to control their even dumber buddies.Ur right in a sense. Proof of God is not possible in this life and is based on faith. So I can see how it makes sense that He doesn't exist to one who doesn't believe in Him. But to one who does believe in Him, like myself, it makes much more sense that He does exist. So again that is where the power of free will comes into play. In the Qur'an God says: "For he who wants to believe let him believe, and he who wants to disbelieve let him disbelieve." So God in that one verse says we are created with free will so do what u want. On another subject I've ask this question and not sure exactly who I asked, but I never got a response so I'll ask u. Just to help me understand more of the atheist views. What is ur view on angels. Do u believe they exist or ever existed? Also what is ur view on the Hereafter or life after death?
The only "gods", "angels", and "demons" are just ordinary people who do good and bad things depending upon their moods at any particular time. People make their own "heavens" and "hells" and sometimes other people get caught up in them through no fault of their own.
Everything that you will experience has already happened to someone else. One guy even lived through the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear explosions and died from old age.
No one has to prove the existence of God. He has to prove his existence to us. He has never done that so for all practical purposes he doesn't exist except in your imagination. No one really believes in someone else's version of God. That because he doesn't exist outside of each believer's imagination. So everyone has a different version. Your version is different than those of your parents. You rely upon some ancient unknown person for everything that you think you know about your favorite deity. You believe it because you live in a peer pressure society that forces everyone to comply.
