All the wishing and hoping in the world cannot change that.
You want to believe in fairy tales? Go ahead. I think its a load of shit. But great harm has been done by adherents to various religions all in the name of promoting their own vision of those fairy tales. That is a fucking shame.
Well there is no evidence for there not being a God.
All the wishing and hoping in the world wouldn't change truth, this is true. At the same time, your belittleing of the Creator, assuming He is real, would not make Him any less real.
Perhaps you are believeing in fairy tales when you believe there is no God? Great harm has been done in the name of selfishness and materialism. The GREAT evils of Nazisim and Commnunism are arguebaly the most horrific evils every dont by man, and they were done by intelligent and affluent men. Many religious people who do evil things at least are usually driven by various problems, like poverty and brainwashing by some elites for a specific agenda, almost always involving non religious reasons like land, money, power, etc.
There is no evidence that there are not invisible pink unicorns drinking tequila in a New Orleans bar at Mardi Gras, either. I put the probability of your vision of a 'god' at about the same level as those unicorns. In any case, it is up to the proponent to prove a case. Where is your evidence for a god.
(P.s. If you have nothing other than your bible, don't even bother.)
Hitler was a fine catholic...well trained in anti-semitism by his upbringing so make sure you know what the fuck you are talking about before you start down this road...for the umpteenth time around here. Unlike modern catholics at least Hitler doesn't seem to have molested children. Try ( and I know it is hard ) to remember that German SS Troopers wore belt buckles stamped "Gott Mit Uns." I submit that makes them shitty atheists.
