I’m sure most of us, atheists, would like to talk to god at least one time in our lives, but he never seems to reveal himself to us.
Why doesn’t god tell the people that talk to him, that subscribe to other religions, that they need to convert to christianity? How come god lets them go to hell, by not telling them that jesus is their savior? How do you know that they’re not talking to god, and you’re talking to yourself? They’re just as convinced as you that they are talking to god, and of course god tells them to convert others to their religion, just like you.
God commands people to kill other people in the Old Testament. How do you know god isn’t talking to ISIS, and telling them to kill other tribes of people? You don’t. You’re assuming that’s not occurring, because it doesn’t concur with your book of bullshit.
By your standards of evidence (pure gullibility), if you thought prayer has been successful for you in the past, it has worked for every other person that was praying, while practicing a different faith than you, as well. Why does your jealous god answer prayers for people in other religions, instead of putting them to death for worshipping false gods? Going by the stories of the bible, you’d think that there would only be one religion on this earth, if the bible was true. A few thousand years ago, god cared so much when people didn’t worship him, that he commanded Moses to massacre people that didn’t worship the correct version of him, but in present-day reality, he longer does that. Why did the unchanging god change his strategy from massacring people, to doing absolutely nothing?
If you actually talked to god, you’d be able to put forth a cogent justification for your god, and who knows.. MAYBE, actually provide proof of its existence. You’d think that your amazingly intelligent god would actually make you smarter, and not cause you to constantly spew fallacious bullshit, by trying to shift the burden of proof on others as your argument. Is your god that evil that he doesn’t want to convert us, although many of us are open to new evidence? Your god almost seems like he wants to send most people on this planet to hell. How loving of him. Or, is your god just that pathetic and can’t persuade an atheist while speaking through you? All you people that talk to him, send him my way, I’ll be happy to talk to your version of god.
Also, I can’t just have faith in your conversations with god, because you have deluded yourself so much that you can’t see that god’s voice, is just your thoughts. I can’t delude myself either, by thinking thoughts in my head, are voices from god, because I’ve put these ‘voices’ to the test years ago in testable experiments (like you should do), and at least half the time they failed. As a reasonable human being, I could no longer believe that I was talking to a loving, omniscient god. Based on the evidence I gathered, I had to conclude that I was talking to myself.
Care to address any of these logical questions or statements? Many would like to know if he exists or not. That doesn’t change the fact, that most of us, still, won’t worship it, but it would be nice if it dropped by once, and did one thing that would prove its existence to us. Why would that be so hard? Jesus did it for Thomas in the storybook, why not in real life? Or, maybe, you people who claim to talk to god, are full of shit, but I’m all ears to your new argument, evidence of god’s existence, or to hear why I’m wrong in my argument.
Also, one more thing.. I ran into another verse that people usually don’t talk about very much recently, and since I’m 99.999% sure god won’t answer my question, maybe you theists that talk to god can tell me why this is.
Lev 12:1-5 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. 3 On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised. 4 Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. 5 If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.
Why does god think that when a woman gives birth to a girl that she is to be considered unclean for double the amount of time rather than if she gave birth to a boy? Why are women considered unclean after they’ve given birth?

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
