I do not hate theists. Both of my longtime employees are fundamentalist Christians. Anyone can become seduced by religion under the right conditions. Why do you discount the numerous atrocities that God has committed against mankind? If I had sufficient power, I would heal all of the sick people in the world, and I would protect innocent people from murderers and rapists. God refuses to do this, and in fact has killed millions of people, including babies, and yet you claim that I hate theists. You are a very ignorant person. Logically, he who is most at fault is he who is best able to help people and refuses to do so. Therefore, if God exists, he is much more at fault than anyone else is.

Collectively, non-Christians, including atheists, have given away billions of dollars to needy people. Logically, he who is most at fault is he who is best able to help people and refuses to do so. If God exists, he is at fault much more than anyone else is.

Your arguments are patently absurd.

If God exists, he is at fault much more than anyone else is. Thanks to God, human effort alone could never feed all of the hungry people in the world. In addition, thanks to God, locusts destroy crops, and hurricanes destroy food supplies.

Are you going to serve Thanksgiving dinners to the poor only because you believe in God? Some atheists are feeding people Thanksgiving dinners today, but where is God, perhaps continuing his vacation that has gone on for thousands of years? Do you have any evidence that today, all tangible benefits are not distributed entirely at random according to the laws of physics?

But you don't know anything about me, or how much money I have given away.

Therefore, if God exists, he is much more at fault much more than anyone else is. Thanks to God, human effort alone could never feed all of the hungry people in the world. God sends locusts to destroy crops, and he sends hurricanes to destroy food supplies. God created the bacteria (Bubonic Plague) that killed one fourth of the people in Europe. Just like rhutchin, you try to let God off the hook, but it won't work.

May I ask what your net worth is? Many Christians have far more wealth than they need. Maybe that includes you. Do you criticize Christians who have great wealth?

hmmmm oldsmar is close to Redington shores..what say Johnny we stop and pick you up in an hour and you can help us feed the hungry? or do you prefer to type aimlessly away on your keyboard, shadowboxing against a supposedly non-existant God who supposedly doesnt help feed the hungry? acta non verba my friend.....
p.s. this is why atheism fails...it offers nothing...absolutely nothing ...whereas theism (warts and all) at least says I can try, I can try to feed the hungry,heal the sick, I can try to give people hope,faith, and charity..I can try.....

orrr I can TYPE!!!! (better to light a candle..than curse the darkness)

Well that's excellent. And many of us give to charity and try to do our best to look after those around us. Does part of the reason that you are doing these things have a religious basis? Do you mention your beliefs or the group you belong to as you are serving dinner?

Perhaps there should be an atheist group who specialise in feeding the poor and saying things like "That Biblical God's a shit isn't he? Good job I don't believe in him. Let's be thankful. Here I am feeding you. Biblegod has done sod all to help you"

Why would that be any less valid than praising God when they are in a bad situation? What is being celebrated here exactly?
