General - Is there a god? - View Post

First, evolution is not chance, anyone who has taken even a basic biology course knows the theory of evolution is far from chance. It is theoretically evolution that has taught us it is right to protect the weak, but it has nothing to do with the topic.

Second, all hate in the world caused by belief in god would not occur if such a personal god existed.

Third, we're all atheists in some respect, just some of us have taken it one god further than most.

Forth, the argument that we should do things to make a god - a man who lives in the sky - happy, is ridiculous. Doing good things matter enough just because they're good. It would take a sick person who ONLY did good things because they don't want to burn in hell, this sick person - IS most religious people, and thus MOST people on earth.

Fifth, there is no reason to believe in something there is no proof of, god is literally santa claus for adults. There is no more proof that a magical giant teapot floats around in space, than there is of god (borrowing the line from Dawkins). Someone will say, I'm certain, that such beliefs are not malignant - but when they create wars, and restrict my freedoms - they are. The more ridiculous the worse it is when it has power over society.

Sixth, if god heals people... why doesn't god heal amputees? Seems wrong to me. If god was perfect.. he would heal them as well. But there has NEVER been anyone who grew limbs back. Or maybe it is wrong of me to question who god maims and who he doesn't, I am so silly.
