But you said God was all-powerful! If he was all-powerful why would he do such bad things man?!? Like wtf, what's the DEAL with THAT?!? He says humans have free-will be just for the f**k of it creates these disasters which kill them? That's not like at all free-will! Durrrrr
A: LOL we can't fully comprehend God, he does things which no human mind can understand, our brains are like the size of an ant's brain in comparison
OH REALLY? So we're suppose to worship a being who has infinite knowledge when we only have human logic at our disposal? Why would God create humans with such inferior brains? You think if he would make them dumb enough so that they couldn't call him out of his bulls**t all the time though
A: Well idk man my parents raised me as a Christian and the Bible says to believe in God, so why the hell not? He's like an invisible friend who is always there by my side! He's the perfect companion, he listens to me and never calls me a faggot or whips my ass for talking back to him. He is always there, I pray to him and sometimes things I pray for come true other times they don't I just ignore the times they don't and rationalize God when I just said human beings cannot fully comprehend him so I just use the blanket statement "God has a purpose for my life" and I'll live my entire mortal existence for him even though I cannot prove for a fact that he exists cause he lives in heaven
I'M A DUMBASS JESUS LOVER

It's perfectly fine to question God and doubt His existence. If there is a God and an Atheist/Agnostic doesn't believe it, that is perfectly reasonable. If there isn't, it's even more reasonable. That leaves the burden of proof on God himself, and the man's only logical responsibility is to keep an open mind (as one would to some undiscoverd piece of scientific info). My challenge is, why can't you disbelieve and keep an open mind to other beliefs at the same time? That's the most reasonable course of action. Your skepticism makes sense, and I have no qualms with it, but you have not found concrete and scientific evidence that your beliefs are better than ours. I admit that I haven't found adequate evidence in the other direction, but it doesn't matter because unlike you, I'm not trying to convince you that my beliefs are better than yours, just to have an open mind.

I don't believe is God because there is no justification for it. There is no burden of proof when you have nothing to prove. There is no God to defend when there is no evidence of his existence.

Wasn't Brent a Christian a few years ago or something? Or am I being stupid? Yes, then I grew a brain. This whole thread is completely stupid.If Brent was previously a Christian,then he knows enough/everything about it and he made a decision to deliberately go away from it.Therefore trying anything over the internet to convert him BACK is just unbelievably pointless. HE ALREADY KNOWS EVERYTHING.IF HE IS TO EVER GO BACK TO BELIEVING IN GOD THEN IT'S GOING TO TAKE A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND NOTHING ELSE COULD POSSIBLY CHANGE HIS OPINION.SHUT THE f**k UP ABOUT IT

the only thing I can say is that there's so much less pressure in non-theism, no cosmic baby-sitter frowning and your each and every slip-up (which can lead to depression and dangerously low self-esteem). That, dear sir, is called legalism, the bible makes sure to preach against it, both in the new and old testament.

Maybe Brent would convert to Christianity if Katie was one.
