RE: Why did God make atheists?

"He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." John 12:40 KJV
God made atheists so that they can remain in their depraved state, so he'd have a reason to save them.
But if he wanted them to be theists, then why not create them as theists in the first place?
God is a personification of ourselves, what we wish to be, and that which we do not understand.

Obviously beyond his abilities to do so.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

4 teh lulz, ov coarse! Lol, jk!
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

I agree, he created us for the lulz. I know I've had a good laugh at gods expense.

That's not really what I meant, but O.K.

[
The Quran view is that humanity is inclined towards God and has been given knowledge of him, and that God's light is in the soul.
What soul -proof please NOT Quaran nonsense
THE Quran clearly says that the sun sets into a hole of murky water on earth - the Quran is NOT truth unless it is ALL true - otherwise it rests on proof OUTSIDE THE quarn
The thing with disbelievers, is that they are "covering" the light of God. This is not only for those whom disbelieve in God, but disbelieve in Islam, since that is suppose to be the divine light as well. The disbelievers have become deaf and blind to the truth and wisdom, because of their own unjust will.
Sorry - but YOU have a problem understanding the difference between TRUTH and BELIEF.
Truth is something that YOU can PROVE is factual. Belief is something YOU accept but cannot prove.
NO god is PROVEN to exist - NONE at all. IT is ALL belief
SO - everything claimed to be TRUTH about a god is ALSO belief - and NONE of it is truth.
Disbelievers have good reason not to believe - most of the stories claimed in the koran and the bible have been proven to be fairy tales.
ANd prayer has been determined to be of NO value beyond that of pure chance.

I'm neither Muslim or Christian, was just stating the Quran and Bible views. Relax.
And even if I was Muslim or Christian, I would be answering the question of the OP from my belief.
It's not arguing this is the true view - it's just stating that is the view of Quran or Bible.

This is a contradicting issue. Pointless to respond on... but I just did.
