Reasons for God

[Ace Otana]

So when society wants you dead, you'll die?

That made no sense at all.
*Facepalm*

Except when it conflicts with your own interests, right?

No. Not entirely.

Because doing good in a hopeless situation is not possible without faith.

Then the way I have lived my life contradicts your beliefs. Like I've said before, if you think it's pointless to do any good without a god or some afterlife then feel free to jump of a cliff. I won't stop you.

Sustained...long term giving more than receiving. I imagine this isn't something you've already done. Once you die and your life is reviewed, then we'll know.

I can imagine that it is something you have never done. Am I right to assume that? Are you right to assume that I haven't? No, of course not! You don't know me so who the hell are you to say what I've done or not? I have given many times and happily too. No gain either apart from some self respect.
Just because I'm an atheist doesn't mean I'm some horrible person who doesn't care. Quite the opposite!

I responded to the original viewpoint, not the duplicate perpetrated by you.

Sounds to me you can't handle it. Ok then, all I want from you is to answer a few questions. Since you are the claimer.
1. What is the purpose of god?
2. If god is all perfect, why would he create the universe?
3. What can god gain from anything, can he become more than what he is or is he completely devoid of meaning and purpose?

These are questions that are to be asked if you add god as a answer for what caused the universe. God seems to raise many questions and so I expect answers.

I think I know why you didn't want me to add my own points to EvF's. I wasn't copying his post, I was adding points and now I'm accusing you of avoiding/evading those points I made. Read EvF's post then mine and see the differance. If you refuse then I will copy the points I made for you to answer. Why don't I do it now?

"why would god create it? What does he gain out of creating something if he is perfect in every way? What is the purpose of god's existence if he cannot be anything more than what he is? What evidence is there to say that a god exists?"

Can you anwer those points or will you make some excuse for evading it again?
