He has 7.15 billion children. That's a lot of fuckin' child support, pal. Cut the old goat a break!

Yeah, but this old goat, when he was paying child support, didn't hit up the kids for his payments.

Plus there was that one time he drowned the little fuckers.

Well, who hasn't been there (at least in imagination)?

If you have any objection(s) to add, feel free.

What do you think of....

If God is real, then why does He stay "hidden"?

I used to struggle with this one, until I understood that if He was physically involved and present in our daily lives, many of us would ask Him for things all the time, and resent Him when anything went wrong in our lives, or if we didn't get what we wanted. It is better to just not believe than to resent and hate.

^At least that's my understanding of it. What's yours??

According to the bible, your god managed to be physically present in human lives during the Old Testament times. What changed? Why wouldn't you resent god once you reached heaven but you would resent him if he showed himself to you on earth?

Sure, and they're all classics so you know all the dialogue by heart.

Still, when you are face to face with someone who says something like, "Praise the Lord, brother", you may have a go-to objection that you like to lead with. If so, what is it?

I don't say anything when someone makes a comment like, "Praise the Lord." It is their right to be religious. Believe it or not, most of us probably don't go around picking unnecessary fights with religious people.

I don't believe he actually was...

We have evidence.

I had to pick other. There are multiple reasons why I don't believe in god. The objections that you provided are only a small part of why I don't believe.

Your god acts in the exact same way that he would act if there wasn't a god. There is nothing that you can attribute to god that can't be explained without the presence of a god. The rest of the posters are correct. There is no evidence of your god that isn't also true of any mythological beings.

Despite the presence of the so called Holy Spirit in their lives, Christians are no better or worse than non Christians. If a higher power was influencing certain people then why aren't those people any better than the rest of humanity?

All the omni attributes of your god contradict one another.
