seriously there's no evidence that suggests the god of abraham isn't made up. so i'll just be on my mary way.

So much win!!!!

If there was proof, or scientific fact the proved the existence of God what choice would we have to believe? Whether we believe something to be true or not doesn't change what is true or false. Believing in God is about CHOICE and FAITH, and if we didn't have choice we wouldn't have free will. Sure we can blame God for whatever happens that we don't like or agree with, but ultimately we would just be using God as a scapegoat rather than taking responsibility and doing something about it.

 

Also the poll question is flawed because it assumes that it is God's responsibility to prevent terrible things from happening. The responsibility for care of this world belongs to us humans and us alone. 

We all make choices on what to believe mostly based on what sounds good to our ears, and too few are actually open minded enough to humour ideas or concepts that go along with what sounds good to believe / agree with in our heads. These discussion are always fruitless as everyone always seeks to make their point of view heard, rather than trying to understand and respect other peoples point of view. I know if I posted a picture like that above in relation to a console or fan base I'd get banned, but its okay if its discriminatory against or mocking Christians...
