Further analysis (You can skip it if you don't like reading long write ups)

So here is question #1: Why
won't God heal amputees?
It's a simple question, isn't it? We
all know that amputated legs do
not spontaneously regenerate in
response to prayer. Amputees
get no miracles from God.
If you are an intelligent person,
you have to admit that it's an
interesting question On the one
hand, you believe that God
answers prayers and performs
miracles. On the other hand, you
know that God completely
ignores amputees when they
pray for miracles.
How do you deal with this
discrepancy? As an intelligent
person, you have to deal with it,
because it makes no sense. In
order to handle it, notice that you
have to create some kind of
rationalization. You have to
invent an excuse on God's behalf
to explain this strange fact of life.
You might say, "well, God must
have some kind of special plan
for amputees." So you invent
your excuse, whatever it is, and
then you stop thinking about it
because it is uncomfortable.
Here is another example. As a
Christian, you believe that God
cares about you and answers
your prayers.
So the second question is: Why
are there so many starving
people in our world?
Look out at our world and notice
that millions of children are dying
of starvation. It really is horrific.
Why would God be worried
about you getting a raise, while
at the same time ignoring the
prayers of these desperate,
innocent little children? It really
doesn't make any sense, does it?
Why would a loving god do this?
To explain it, you have to come
up with some sort of very
strange excuse for God. Like,
"God wants these children to
suffer and die for some divine,
mysterious reason." Then you
push it out of your mind because
it absolutely does not fit with
your view of a loving, caring God.
Third question: Why does God
demand the death of so many
innocent people in the Bible?
Look up these verses:
- Exodus 35:2 – God demands
that we kill everyone who works
on the Sabbath day.
- Deuteronomy 21:18-21 – God
demands that we kill disobedient
teenagers.
- Leviticus 20:13 – God demands
the death of homosexuals.
- Deuteronomy 22:13-21 – God
demands that we kill girls who
are not virgins when they marry.
And so on… There are lots of
verses like these.
It doesn't make any sense, does
it? Why would a loving God want
us to murder our fellow human
beings over such trivial matters?
Just because you work on the
wrong day of the week, you
must die? That makes no sense,
does it? In fact, if you think about
it, you realize that it is insane. So
you create some kind of
rationalization to explain these
verses.
Question #4: Why does the Bible
contain so much anti-scientific
nonsense? You have a college
degree, so you know what I'm
talking about. You know how
science works. You happily use
the products of science every
day: your car, your cell phone,
your microwave oven, your TV,
your computer. These are all
products of the scientific
process. You know that science
is incredibly important to our
economy and to our lives.
But there is a problem. As an
educated person you know that
the Bible contains all sorts of
information that is total
nonsense from a scientific
perspective.
- God did not create the world in
6 days 6,000 years ago like the
Bible says.
- There was never a worldwide
flood that covered Mt. Everest like
the Bible says.
- Jonah did not live inside a fish's
stomach for three days like the
Bible says.
- God did not create Adam from a
handful of dust like the Bible
says.
These stories are all nonsense.
Why would an all-knowing God
write nonsense? It makes no
sense, does it? So you create
some type of very strange excuse
to try to explain why the Bible
contains total nonsense.
Question #5: Why is God such a
huge proponent of slavery in the
Bible? Look up these Bible verses:
- Exodus 21:20-21 – God says
that it is OK to own slaves, and it
is also OK to beat them.
- Colossians 3:22-24 – Slaves
need to obey their masters.
- Ephesians 6:5 – Slaves need to
obey their masters just as they
would obey Christ.
- 1 Peter 2:18 – Slaves need to
obey their masters, even if their
masters are harsh .
And so on…
And why do all intelligent people
abhor slavery and make it
completely illegal? You have to
come up with some kind of
weird rationalization to explain
it.
Question #6: Why do bad things
happen to good people? That
makes no sense. You have
created an exotic excuse on
God's behalf to rationalize it.
Question #7: Why didn't any of
Jesus' miracles in the Bible leave
behind any evidence? It's very
strange, isn't it? You have
created an excuse to rationalize
it.
Question #8: How do we explain
the fact that Jesus has never
appeared to you? Jesus is all-
powerful and timeless, but if you
pray for Jesus to appear, nothing
happens. You have to create a
weird rationalization to deal with
this discrepancy.
Question #9 – Why would Jesus
want you to eat his body and
drink his blood? It sounds totally
grotesque, doesn't it? Why would
al all-powerful God want you to
do something that, in any other
context, sounds like a disgusting,
cannibalistic, satanic ritual?
And finally, Question #10 – Why
do Christians get divorced at the
same rate as non-Christians?
Christians get married in front of
God and their Christian friends,
all of whom are praying to God
for the marriage to succeed. And
then they say, "What God has put
together, let no man put
asunder." God is all-powerful, so
if God has put two people
together that should seal the
deal, right? Yet Christians get
divorced at the same rate as
everyone else. To explain this,
you have to create some
convoluted rationalization.

An atheist's reply to the questions.

Just look at all ten questions as
an(atheist) intelligent person:
1) Why won't God heal
amputees? Because God is
imaginary, and he doesn't
answer any prayers. Every
"answered prayer" is actually a
coincidence. All scientific
evidence supports this
conclusion.
2) Why are there so many
starving people in our world?
Because God is imaginary, and he
is therefore unable to answer
their prayers.
3) Why does God demand the
death of so many innocent
people in the Bible? Because God
is imaginary, and the Bible was
written by ridiculous, ruthless
men rather than any sort of
loving being.
4) Why does the Bible contain so
much anti-scientific nonsense?
Ditto. Primitive men wrote the
bible, not an all-knowing being.
5) Why is God such a huge
proponent of slavery? Ditto.
6) Why do bad things happen to
good people? Because God is
imaginary and bad things
happen at the same statistical
rates to everyone.
7) Why didn't any of Jesus'
miracles in the Bible leave behind
any evidence? Because God is
imaginary, and Jesus' miracles
are myths.
How do we explain the fact
that Jesus has never appeared to
you? Because God is imaginary.
9) Why would Jesus want you to
eat his body and drink his blood?
Because God is imaginary, and
this bizarre ritual came from a
pagan religion.
10) Why do Christians get
divorced at the same rate as non-
Christians? Because God is
imaginary.
Do you see what has happened
here? When we assume that God
exists, the answers to these ten
questions make absolutely no
sense. But if we assume that God
is imaginary, our world makes
complete sense.
It's interesting, isn't it? Actually,
it's more than interesting – it is
incredibly important.
Our world only makes sense
when we understand that God is
imaginary.
This is how intelligent, rational
people know that God is
imaginary.
Please note i (the poster) is not an atheist but posted this here in order to get your views as christians on these questions and learn more

As Christian what are your counter views to these analysis

The fool hath saith in his heart, 'there is no God'.....
Psalm 14:1
-A fool is not someone who doesn't know the truth, but he that chooses to ignore the truth!
Be careful what you read, watch and listen to, they are your teachers!
God is real, true and very tangible!

Who has the time to reply an intelligent fool?!

See, African religionists are not ready for these kind of rational thinking . Intact, reason and logic are anti-God . They Will rather revel in the comfort zone of senseless faith.

Copy and Paste. I wonder who pasted this garbage in your brain and you were foolish enough to sinker it. Mscheeew!

The funny thing about threads like this is that the op is usually made up on what to agree on.

Why not try to win the soul of the poster with convincing arguements such as the ones done by St. Augustine ; there is no need abusing the poster.

Why do Christians feel the need to defend God much like the islamists ?

If you have any points bring them up with the aid of intelligent arguments. Such nonsense as the "....i just know God exists " are rather lame and useless .

That's true. You have a point. But before that happens, the poster has to show a zeal to understand and not a zeal to misunderstand.
By the way, did I insult the poster?

You are the bigger fool here. How does quoting an ancient book written by ignorant men answer any of the questions raised above? You just regurgitate nonsense like a non reasoning or brainless human without even being objective a little bit. If you have no answer to the above questions, just shut up because silence is better than making a fool of yourself

@op, if you are not an atheist, then what are you?..

what we say is who we are..

Answer to your Questions.. Because the op is imaginery, he doesn't know when he was born, he doesn't know when he will die, he doesn't know where he will go.. He is just a living creature wandering the earth like a wanderer.

'Why won't God heal amputees?' This is the most poignant question ever asked of God. We all know this is not possible for the simple reason that no such god exists anywhere & this is an incontrovertible fact

A fool on parade. If you say there is no loving God, you are fooling yourself. May God have mercy on you and open your spiritual mind to know the truth. There is no answering a person like the op here because without the conviction of the holy spirit on his person, he can NEVER accept any clear response to his demonic questions here.

May the grace of God find and convince him to know the truth and answer these question he stated here for his followers to know the truth that there is a loving God who rewards every man according to his works.

Thank you, mr God the judge and know-all
