I also enjoy being in the lot of those who stand up and ask for just ONE little bit of factual and non-biblical based evidence to support the bullshit argument that an entity who has never shown himself (especially in the last 2000 or so years) is real. This isn't about having blind faith or free will. This isn't about personal experiences. This isn't about his "plan". This is about logic, common sense and the ability to understand the difference between reality and imagination.
It is hard to accept that an entity, supposedly responsible for the creation of ALL of life....
who was the first to cause mass genocide,
the one who commanded that slavery is okay,
who is a baby killer,
who tells you what you can't eat,
who said that you can't covet your neighbor's wife but who killed a man for refusing to impregnate his dead brother's wife,
who is narcissistic in that he uses spending eternity in hell as an ultimatum if you don't obey or worship him,
Who commands that a wife obey her husband (even if he rapes her),
Refuses to rid the world of its starvation and hunger issues,
will not regrow an amputated or missing body part without the aid or use of science and/or medicine.
And last but certainly not least, refuses to abolish cancer and other deadly diseases ....
Loves his people?
So God isn't who you think he should be? You think it's bad when he won't regrow an amputated arm? He won't even regrow hair on my scalp. If we accept him, then we accept him as he is, not as what we want him to be. If you don't believe in him because you see no evidence for him, that's okay. But not liking what he does or how he made the earth to be is not evidence against the existence of God.
She mentions tragedies like the death of babies, starvation and marital rape. You focused on the missing limb but how do you justify the rest of what she wrote? Bible god is all powerful and yet he can't stop babies from being raped. I see no evidence for god but further, the concept of the Christian god is evil. He is a far more sinister character than any fictional character that exist and sadly people believe he is real
