The question that I have is that, as an atheist, do these things have any real effect on what they believe to be true ( That God isn't real) or if these concepts are just irrelevant?
Don't know if it does, but it should. If something awful happens to you and it was very traumatic, won't you doubt god's good?
Wasn't my reason for not believing, it really only takes one reason to get there, but I think it can be relevant. And what is her argument for this reason being invalid?
