As a scientist I have to look towards evidence. From a religious viewpoint that evidence is lacking and offers few explanations. I guess it is comforting to believe that god will protect you from evil and the world is in his safe hands and everything. In addition heaven is a nice thing to tell your children when your best friend has just being murdered by a axe weilding maniac. Can people answer the following questions?
Why does an all loving god create hell for the poorest people?
Why does an all powerful god punish people in the forms of natural disasters?
Why does an all knowing god not prevent illness and disease from striking the innocent?
If every creation needs a creator then what created god?
Why is it there a correlation between believing in god and being educated?
