Does God exist

I accept my opponent's mode of proof and that is how the debate will be handled. Universe Created-So as a committed theist, one of the major things holding me back from becoming an atheist was intelligent design. I will begin this debate by attacking the theory because I believe that this theory is one of the main reasons why thinking Christians don't become atheists. Lets start with what theists believe. God was the first cause to our universe. Humans usually think in terms of causes. They think of the cause-effect solution. This unfortunately does not work with God. For theists there would have to be an all-powerful, all knowing God, something must have created him. Because your logic would have to follow up with God. You say there is a first cause, but there would need to be a cause for God. There would have to be a never ending list of creators which would make no sense. God's moral authority-God seems to also be a supernatural judge in the afterlife. If you have sinned, you will me sent to hell. If you slept with a man, you will be sent to hell. If you steal, you would have been sent to hell. Though let us go in deeper to these sins. Every person I think usually thinks that they are doing the right thing when they steal, that they are doing the right thing when they sleep with a man. Examples: A young man lost 2 parents at age of 21. He was in poverty. He wanted to become an artist but couldn't. He signs up to fight in the war. He feels deep patriotism about his country and his people. When he comes back poverty is still on the rise. He wants to fix everything and put his country right back into glory. He finds out that his people can't enter business because it is dominated by other shrewd people. He wants those shrewd people to be excluded from the economy. He runs for president and wins. He wants to create opportunity for his people so he excludes the shrewd from the economy. The shrewd find ways to come back and dominate other professions. He decides that he will wipe out all the shrewd people from his country for the better of his people. His name is Adolf Hitler. He thought he did the right thing. A young man's father is never there. A young man's mother wasn't there. He doesn't get the right role models. He hangs out with drug dealers that influence him to do it himself. His name was Jonah Cadiz, and he is a bad guy. Jonah Cadiz's story reflect probably every drug dealer's story. By God's logic each man here would go to eternal fire for things they thought were right. Why am I going to hell for something that I believe is right? Everywhere at once- God is in Africa watching 5,500 children die everyday in Africa. God is watching Isaas rape women and children everyday. God himself watched the holocaust with his own eyes. God watched 1800s where the south was cruel to African Americans. God watches all of it and does nothing. On the light side it is kind of funny how also if God was against gay sex, than why would he watch them do it. He is watching everybody do it. In conclusion, I would like to say that I think all religions support the spirituality of humans. Religion comforts the common man, and I have no problem with people practicing it. If somebody told me that he was going to make everybody an atheist, I would tell him to stop because its source of comfort. However, I urge the thinking man to think about religion deeply. See the glasses that blind the thinking man from his true potential. Once you realize that their is no god, you will want to live this life to the fullest, and accomplish anything that the thinking man can.
