How it is that me being an atheist, am able to overcome obstacles without any help or friends or neighbours?
Quote:He allows me to live another day, this is one of many reasons to love him and to worship him.So you love him because he lets you live as opposed to ending your existence? Do you love a murderer who decides to spare your life after robbing you?
Quote:He has given me eternal life.Like me, you're merely flesh and blood, frail and weak, your life easily extinguishable. Sorry to break it to you.
Also, if he gives you eternal life after death, and he can take it away just as easily, you're supposed to fear it. I mean if it's a fear-inspiring god, it should be able to crush your puny "indestructible" soul quite easily, how can you love what you should fear?

You are a very sad man Welsh cake, I gave you my reasons of loving God and you want to make a joke of them, do not expect me to answer any more of your questions, seems like you would of appreciated that at least one person answered your question. I guess that makes me the fool.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
