Think about it, all those gods, no evidence for any of them, and so I choose to step back and have nothing to do with religion. God should be able to understand that, if he doesn't then why call him god?Yes, God is Omniscient, but he will never justify anyone becoming an atheist. He gave you life, and you reject him. Like I have said before.. lack of evidence only works if every option has been explored.
Quote:Also if god tortures people just because people doubt his existence due to lack of evidence which is a good reason to doubt then he is extremely immoral. Also I wouldn't worship this arsehole, since it would be like worshiping the devil. This god sounds immoral and not all knowing at all. So why call him god?God doesn't torture people. Satan tortures people. Once again you use that "lack of evidence" arguement. That cannot possibly make sense. Until the day we have totally explored every square inch of the Universe, no one can logically use the "lack of evidence" arguement against God.
We do not need evidence that ancient man spoke to God. We are commanded to "just believe." Why is that such a task for you? Why is it so hard to believe God spoke to ancient man and commanded them to write down these words, and then move on with your life. No one is ordered by Yahweh to sacrifice sheep anymore. Those days are over.. didn't you hear? Jesus cancelled all of that.. Yeshua was the ultimate sacrifice.
Quote:I didn't know there was a lovely girl called Katy that I feel in love with till I meet her. I've only heard of god through stories and not actually seeing him for my self. Also there are so many gods, and so it is reasonable to choose not to follow any of them till one of them proves themselves by evidence. Which no one has ever archived.Yes, I agree with you. There are hundreds of god stories. If you visit Iran, they will talk until they are blue in the face that the Koran is the Holy word of Allah. But if you visit Israel, they will say Yahweh is the one and only true God. YOU have to decide for yourself which God should you worship?
Quote:So if this god does harm people because of dis-belief then, existing or not, this god thing is an arsehole. Not worthy of worship apart from devil worshipers. So as you can see, even if you did prove gods existence, I will not worship this monster.God is not harming you in any manner. You are harming yourself. He gave you life, and he also gave you a life expectancy of 75 years to decide what you want. And you choose to reject his offerings. So, in reality, who is harming who? When you end up in Hell, it's Satan that is in control of the torture, not God.
Quote:Also, buddhists don't actually believe in god You have no idea how many theists mistake this.Actually, modern Buddists believe Buddha was ressurected and then became a Divine Figure. I will pull up the WikiPedia site if you wish..?
