In Hinduism, bad actions are a result of your bad actions in a previous life or, even, in this hence the chain is void as the Gods plans do not include(or maybe they do) hurting people.
Even in Christianity, the chain does not work on the great majority of Christians as they do not belive God has planned out everything to the smallest detail. The Bible acctualy indicates that God has very little to do with this world. Your God Chain does not work with the great majority of religions. Also 'Atheism has no contradictions.' is a bit dangerous as all belifes of human kind have some form of contradiction or another.
Off what I heard, God planned everything. Also god is suppost to be all knowing, So even if he didn't plan it, He knew about it.
If god knew about when volcanos go off and how many it will kill then why didn't he stop it? You would sit back and watch someone drown? Would you sit back and let someone burn? Would it be immoral if you had a hose and you did nothing to help? If so then the same can be said about god. God is suppost to KNOW everything so every natural and deadly event could of been prevented.
I've noticed that christians have differant beliefs even in their own religion.
If god knows all and does nothing - he is immoral, If he planned it, He's immoral, If a christian kills, they stand against the ten comandments and end up contradicting themselves.
It's a contradiction to kill and be told to not kill. It's a contradiction to say god planned all and god did not plan all. It's a contradiction to say be kind to fellow man, then told to insult them.
Contradiction after contradiction.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
