TA if you dont believe in God how do you think the first man appeared??.. sure earth is older than all creatures who live on it right??.. so after the earth was there how do you think man and other creatures before him appeared??.. i am not really trying to ask you a question with no answer i am just wondering what usually comes to your mind when you think about this.. even if you dont care sure you thought about it before..
all atheists plz,.. let me know your thoughts..
Atheist here. To be quite honest I haven't a clue as to how all this (the earth, the universe, and everything in them) came to be and to offer suppositions is beyond my educational background. As for your question regarding "God" I think that I am as "qualified" as any because God is much easier to "study".
For example, in the Old Testament of the Bible God was much more shall we say, "active". Do something wrong and you were likely to be smitten. God decided things like battles by requiring that Moses hold his hands aloft. Makes sense to me...Not. God allowed for the horrible persecution of Job at the hands of Satan. Said persecution including financial devastation
and killing his family. But apparently that was okay because once God was proven right by Job's faithfulness, God rewarded him with a new family and wealth.
If God were really "God", why not just restore the original family? Bring them back from the dead. Gives one pause, does it not? When Christ walked the earth there were still accounts of "judgment". Demonic possession was seemingly common but God was no longer as active in punishing folks. Jesus came to change the rules. If we are to believe the New Testament, he healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the hungry and taught (and lived) a life of peace. He did all this and men killed him. Typical of men, really. But -
He promised that believers would be able to do even greater things in his name and again, according to the New Testament his apostles did the works of their master. However for over two thousand years now no one has done anything remotely Christlike (i.e., miraculous) in his name. Oh many have done evil in the name of God and of the man many consider to be his Son, and while that doesn't make for an argument against the Christ it does show that over time and as man has progressed and advanced himself (
most men, some cling to archaic bullshit) God seems to have decided not to show himself in any way, shape or form. Many of today's "men of God" (and even women) are in it for the money and/or power. Be they christian or muslime.
Where is God? Is he dead? Hiding? Or did he ever truly exist?
So I ask you. Would you hide from your children? Would any here that are parents, give their children a stone when the asked for a loaf of bread? Would you leave your children unattended for years, have zero contact with them except through nutbag imams, pederast popes and worthless televangelists. Would you allow false ministers to speak on your behalf but never personally
and publicly punish them for their lies? And in spite of never showing your face in the last two thousand years and not having written so much as a post card since the New Testament you expect, No... You
demand people praise your name and give you the glory for everything but the blame belongs to them.? And the book you follow was written by a madman made all the more upset by the Jews refusing to accept him as a prophet. Another example of a man in it for profit and pussy would be Joseph Smith, so old mo' wasn't the only one to be an asshole, just the most violent.
Yup. Joe and mo' were in it for the power, pussy and wealth. They didn't speak for God because no real God would allow such assholes to represent him. Here's an example of Joseph Smith's bullshit for you - He claimed there were men on the moon. And they were dressed like the Quakers of his day. Shit, another of their profits said there were men living on the sun. Don't worry, your guy rode a horse to heaven or some such bullshit. They got away with it because they couldn't be disproved and people were far more primitive back then. Kinda like many of today's muslimes and their imams bullshit, huh?
The God who allowed Popes to lie, homohammed to bullshit, says through his profits that women should be beaten by their husbands and allows wars to be waged in his name for no other reason than the greed of man really exists? You'd better watch out. You'd better not cry. You'd better not pout I'm telling you why...
The God that wiped out Sodom and Gomorrah, the God that drowned Pharaoh's army, freed the Hebrews but then made them wander around the desert for 40 years because they abandoned him, the God that created all "this", booked out of here without so much as a note on the doorknob but claims it was man that made a mess out of everything by biting an apple?
Nigerian, please.
