Why Do Atheists Blame God For Evil In The World When They Don't Believe In Him? by IamMichael(m): 8:09am On Jul 03, 2020

This is one of the frequently asked questions by religious people, and i have decided to answer it through this thread.

Atheists don’t blame God for anything.

The extent an atheist blames the god of any religious sect is to the extent you blame a villain in a fictional story.

Think of Thanos, Lord Voldemort, General Zod, Darkseid or any other fictional villain.
The context within which they're discussed in every day parlance are strictly restricted to their impart in a movie or comics or novel. However, when it is being discussed in real life, it's as if an actual human character is being discussed.

So, when an atheist is discussing a religious god, they are not in fact discussing him for anything in reality. They're just discussing him within the concept of a fictional character based on religious mythology and superstition just like you discuss the fictional characters from the movies you watch.

Drops pen!

Tai solarin had issue with government and was put in prison . He gave God deadline to get home out or else... that's how he denies God. You don't give condition to God. You follow his condition.

You know there's no god, you are just following what was indoctrinated in you from an early age and which you find comforting. You are just lying to yourself that there is a god because you need a universal father figure maybe because your parents failed you one way or another, you are looking for a strong parental hand.

Yeah 2 can play the game. LoL!

which of the gods do we know exist? oranmiyan, zeus, shiva, allah, jehovah, thor or amadioha?
bible says "be still and know that i am god..." in other words, forget yourself and what you are or can do and also what you know...become like an innocent child who knows nothing and is just innocently marveling and wondering about what he sees...bible says until you become like the children, the kingdom is not for you. he even thanked the father for revealling it to "mere children", those who innocently marvel and wonder about what they see.
NOW, WHEN WE BECOME LIKE THOSE CHILDREN, WHEN WE EMPTY OUR HEADS OF WHAT EVER WE KNOW, AND MARVEL AND WONDER ABOUT EXISTENCE, WE DO NOT SEE YOUR GOD, WE SEE SOMETHING ELSE: NATURE IN ALL ITS GLORY EXPLAINED BY SCIENCE. THIS HUMBLES US AND WE TAKE LIFE EASY! BECAUSE WE CAN SEE AND UNDERSTAND EXISTENCE, WE BECOME CAPABLE OF SUBLIME THINGS AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, WE BECOME THE TRUE LIGHT OF THE WORLD BECAUSE WE SUPPLY SOLUTIONS!

It's no different discussing or arguing about the character, Jon Snow.
Christians like to say their fictional god is perfect, so atheists prove them wrong by showing them the flaws in their god and doctrine.

WE ONLY BLAME GOD FOR BAD THINGS AS A REACTION TO THEISTS THANKING GOD FOR GOOD THINGS.
IF THEISTS STOP TALKING ABOUT GOD, THEY'LL NEVER HEAR FROM ATHEISTS. ATHEISM ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE THEISM AND ALL IT'S RIDICULOUSNESS EXISTS.

You don't exist because theists exist, don't think so unfortunately of yourself. This are suicidal thoughts oh. You exist because God created you and had mercy on you to see today.

This is a big lie. Tai Solarin said in his book, "A message to young Nigerians" that he became an atheist when he went abroad. He said that was the first time he heard people talk about the existence or inexistence of the deity.

i know only a deranged person will talk of Jon Snow every day, he's not as important to you. Your parents did not find him important enough to name you with him in consideration. More than half the world has never and will never hear about him. He makes no real claims about being god of any sort.

Exactly why He has a right to slaughter them. i cannot go and slaughter the 1000chickens in my neighbour's poultry. i can kill ALL the ones in my house right now. Why? They belong to me. That's the simple logic, i expect you to go all emotional now instead of logical.
