It is likely that God exists

To start off with you suggest that God is a wholly-good being? There are a number of reasons why "God" is evil, These are just a few examples: - Committing genocide [1] - Sending bears to murder children (4 Kings 2:23-24) [1] - Unhappy with man, he floods the earth killing near all living things (GE 6:5) [2] Note that there is no evidence to suggest that such an event ever occured, proving both points about God being a wholly-good being as well false events, maybe to the point of disproving god. - Slavery was used for labour and sex [3] Here are some quotes from the bible: If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT) [3] Also the practise of sex on slaves, When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT) [3] This should help push start the idea of god not being a good 'being' Omnipotence: The ability to do anything logically possible to do? As touched upon before such as the great flood, there are also many logically IMPOSSIBLE scenarios that occur in the bible as followed: - Noahs Ark, Carrying two of every animal onto what was definitely not a big enough boat for thousands of animals. And even if this was so, how were the animals stopped from primal instinct of killing for food? The construction of Noah's ark would also be impossible because of the incapabilities of sustaining all animals while its own weight. - Walking on water, this doesn't deserve an explanation. In a rational, logical mind that you or anyone may seem to have, do you truly believe that the ability to walk on water is possible? And if you say Jesus is the only being to be able to do so, what is your proof to this matter other than text from an ancient book? - Turning bread into wine, as similar as before, can you really explain this? - Moses splitting the red sea into two? A nice quote you should reflect on: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan So, although these points can be proven to not be true, does this fully deny the existence of god? Unfortunately not; but with anyone reading, should further their own opinion into the disbelief, lies or myths about what goes on in the bible. But this being said? If what is untrue in an all perfect book, what does that say about the actual book itself? Non-physical and eternal: Why is god hiding away? Why am I and many others atheists? Wouldn't god want us all to be believers? I hope you can see that it is very hard to believe of such a being without the physical proof of its self. God is perfectly moral? As stated in my first points,would a perfectly moral being go out of its way to cause chaos and evil? Do you believe that we SHOULD get our morals from the bible? And if so, is everyone immoral for not believing? It will be interesting to see your evidence into why you think god exists, hopefully not always referring back to ancient text, but then again what else have you go to go on? As opposed to numerous amounts of physical evidence science has given us that all points towards the direction of evolution, subsequently disproving god. [1] http://www.alternet.org...
