I dont know why people believe in them, there wasn't a miracle NEVER the history about jesus is only a story we dont know if the miracles are real and, has he ever done nothing for you? no I'm Atheist and nothing happened to me in my life.

My parent injected me the religion, but when i grew up i became an atheist because i thought at that, i never went more to the church and nothing happened to me besides the fact that i dont need more to go to the church on sunday morning (Muahhauahh)

But it wouldn't be the God that I was praying to. The God I pray to wouldn't do that. So that would mean my idea of God was wrong. Should I follow him? I wouldn't even know who he is.

do you often hear voices telling you what to do...?


??? Do you mean like a conscience?

How do you know? According to your holy book, "No man may know the mind of God"

Should I follow him? I wouldn't even know who he is.


If you believe him to be an all powerful all knowing god, then obviously he knows more than you do. Who would you be to say he's wrong?

??? Do you mean like a conscience?


I mean voices of different people/and or another person other than your own telling you what to do and what to believe.

But to belive this I would need to hear it from God himself and no one else.


How would you make that determination?

As Avorne said.
"If the answer is 'my God would never tell me to do something like that' then who the heck are you to say what your deity is and isn't allowed to tell you to do?"

But my God is all loving. If this was an order from that God it must mean something that would benefit everyone. My God told me not to kill, so like I said before I'd be lost because if this the God i've been praying to he would be loving. Unless killing the person is in someway loving and benefical to them I don't see how he's the God I belive in.

No.

It's just that it's hard to make sense of the two conflicted commands. Do not kill, and kill now sound as if they couldn't come from the same person.

How would you make that determination?


I don't know. How would you know if something was really God without a doubt? In most cases I would check to make sure that I'm not just imagining things.

Why would you even follow him if you're just going to pick and choose what to believe about him?

The Old Testament is littered with instances of God commanding people to kill and I think there are one or two examples in the New Testament too. Would it really be out of character for God to order someone to kill someone else? A lot of the things in the Bible are contradictory so I don't see why He can't order a couple of murders.

With out a doubt likely nothing, though I could get to a point that I could accept such a beings claim.

Showing up physically and demonstrating something only a God as described could do (such as create matter/energy) under controlled conditions would work for me.
But that's me as an atheist who demands evidence first, aren't you as a believer suppose to take such claims on faith alone?

If ever that happens.It would be much harder you to find the GOD between these many Gods.

How would it be much harder? I would have the GOD right there in front of me.

I'm guessing that was a general question to any atheist so I will answer. I found no evidence for God and could find reasonable scientific explanations for nearly everything attributed to God.

I think what he ment was what type of God it would be like Christian, Muslim, etc. because I think we only know what American Indian and Indian Gods look like.

Other than that we need more sites like these to prove all those mind bleached souls about what is actually happening in the world.
