Bill Gates is not an atheist.
Sorry.
And for each of those people mentioned, there are a million or more religious charities, far outnumbering them.
Moreover, these people u mentioned have businesses that benefit from giving to charity.
Real givers are giving even without owning businesses.

So, atheists are still behind.
They are the least charitable.


If you are a christian.. You are less likely to give to the Muslim countries suffering from one disaster or the other vice versa.. But if you are agnostic or atheist.. You can give to anybody.. And Religion makes people intolerant of each other..

Bill Gates is Agnostic

It clouded the reasoning if Newton, faraday, lennox etc. also wink
Any supposed theist before the 18th century shouldn't even be mentioned as they had almost no choice then, being a public atheist would bring so much barriers to them and hence not worth the trouble.

i have laws which restricted atheists at that time...atheists who were killed for being open,,,books of atheists which carried knowledges which the church put on prohibition to the general public,,,atheists were even denied rights at that time sef..and they're here talking BS.

Pictures of starving children in the Biafra war was said to be what made Steve Jobs(cofounder of apple) turn to an atheistic religion. He couldn't understand why any God with a drop of human sympathy would let people suffer like this.
All those seriously sick and starving people, people with real problems that he could have helped. He left all of them to help you pass an exam, marry, get a job, get more money, have a car e.t.c
If your situation isn't immediately life threatening and you said God answered your prayer, then God is a misanthropic being.
Some people will claim that these people were not children of God, or that is the work of the devil, or that this earth does not matter.

I'll ask all those people to think about what they are saying
These children live in the poorest of poor countries, they have no education, no food, no clean water and for some no parents, the missionaries don't even want to go to these war ravaged places and when they do they only cover a small territory, so most of these people have never even heard of Jesus or even Yahweh. They never had a chance to hear God's word.
They're too busy trying to survive with nothing. But they are still children of God right? So why would he let them suffer more than any human ever should, I'm sure some of them wished they were never born into this life, but they were

And you say God got you a job, a car, a house, admission, more money. Do you now understand while its stupid to say God answered your prayer? That he left all these suffering people and wasted his power on you and your irrelevant need..
In a world with God and pastors with jets this should not exist.


God either does not exist or he is Malevolent





Okay, so the complaint now is that God answers prayers but the ones answered are not relevant enough for you. smh
Again, the atheist have defined God and God does not fit their fancy definition, therefore God does not exist. It is as foolish as me saying NL ought to pay me money per post and in dollars. NL does not exist as they do not fit my idea of what NL should be. That is the summary of the average atheist thinking.

Ya right, when man causes problem for himself it's man's fault.
When man causes good for himself it's is God's fault..

Tell me, is your God just nothing but an opportunist?

I doubt that as a christian you've ever truly thought about the very flawed logic of God answering your everyday trivial prayers.

People ask God for mundane things like
Passing exams
Marrying
Getting a job
Making money
Sunny weather


The list goes on and on and apparently you can ask God for anything(though it doesn't mean he'll always answer you) and when you do get what you asked for, no matter how trivial your request was, you'll instantly think God did it.

"My God has done it for me" is a very popular sentence for the religious, but what they fail to understand is that the moment you claim God answered your prayers it means he left these people
The fact that theres suffering in this world does not mean God does not exist or is malevolent. I implore you to try to read the bible yourself to find the true nature of God.

Suffering only signifies the power of satan in human affairs, a power satan gets because humans give it to him either knowingly or unknowingly through their actions.

If you read the bible yourself, you'll find out that if people follow its principles the world would be a much better place but humanity by nature loves evil hence the suffering we see today.

I used to be like you and think God didn't care about me because of some serious personal that to me God was absent. By reading the scriptures to find the true nature of God i've come to realize God cared and he still cares. I pray the spirit of God reveals himself to you as you study the bible to know about God.

Principles of the bible include loving your neighbour, loving your enemies, giving to all who asks, riches abounding for good works, justice and mercy. This is just a tip of the iceberg but you'll agree with me that most people even so called christains do not live by these principles.

I live you with this message never use your experience to explain the nature of God rather use the bible to explain the nature of God.
