There is no such thing as God

Thank you for starting the Debate. I believe in the Bible and will therefore answer based on what I learn from there and what makes sense to me. 1. Why there is one God and not billion Gods? To answer your question I will post something here written in a different debate. In order to determine which God is the only true God one should look at what that God and the associated religion teaches. For example: The question here is quite meaningless to a Hindu who DO believe there are millions if not billions of gods. The Bible however claims exclusivity in that there is only one Creator who is God. In order to make sense of it all I use what I call the "Accountability argument". "If I believe in the God of the Bible and die, then I will not be held accountable for disbelief and will be rewarded by gaining a life everlasting with God. Nothing to worry about. If I believe in the God of the Bible and die, and he did not exist, then I will not be held accountable for disbelief or anything else because I will cease to exist. I have nothing to worry about. If the atheist die, and the God of the Bible exists, then he or she will be held accountable for disbelief and will be judged accordingly. Something to worry about. If the atheist die and there is NO god, then the atheist will cease to exist and will not be held accountable for anything. Nothing to worry about. If I believe in the God of the Bible and die, then I will not be held accountable for disbelief and will be rewarded by gaining a life everlasting with God." "If I believe in the God of the Bible and die and rejected Buddhism, then I will not be held accountable for disbelief or anything else because I will re-incarnate. I have nothing to worry about. If a Buddhist dies, and the God of the Bible exists, then he or she will be held accountable for disbelief in the God and will be judged accordingly. Something to worry about. If a Buddhist die, and the God of the Bible do not exist, then he or she will re-incarnate and will not be held accountable for anything. Nothing to worry about." By a process of illumination the billions of gods can be eliminated to leave only one that is more logical to follow than the others. This is not Pascal"s wager and it is something I came up with for myself to make sense of it all. 2. Why God is morally good? The God of the Bible says that He is Holy; therefore, He has to adhere to a moral code and cannot do whatever He wants that is in accordance with what HE DETERMINES to be HOLY. It is not a limitation but a choice that many atheists do not comprehend. One can only be all powerful if you can choose (and not be forced by anyone else) not to do something. Most atheists want to impose on God some moral view that is generally accepted today. They fail to see the fallacies in their reasoning and often the SITUATIONAL logic in what God commanded. For example: God chose Israel to become a nation. To do this you need people who will have babies. Can two men having sex have babies? Can two woman having sex have babies? No they cannot, and therefore it is counter productive to allow homosexuality when you are trying to build a nation. It is logical and requires a little common sense to comprehend and goes against public opinion today. I can also point out the diseases more common under homosexual couples that claimed many lives before awareness and modern technology helped to mitigate it. Definitely not the type of thing you want when trying to build a nation. Secondly, if there is no God, who are you, myself or anyone to say to someone else that they must adhere to a particular moral view? It is quite obvious that there are no homosexual nations, because of the simple fact that they cannot procreate. In spite of this logic, people cries out against the God of the Bible saying that he is immoral and bla bla bla. Looking at different societies and comparing it with nature it becomes evident that moral standards vary too much to be a process of natural selection. Natural selection determines conformity which is not found when comparing morals. Why is it ok for a young lion to challenge and kill/banish the old one, kill all his babies, mate with all his females and not for a human to do the same in our society? I have heard many atheists say that we are all animals after all, so why the big difference? This also varies between societies. Some ancient societies never saw anything wrong with child sacrifice; atheists in China and Russia did not see anything wrong with killing millions who did not bow to their policies. Perhaps you can explain exactly what you mean by morally good in order to answer the question better and who determined what you consider morally good or the authority behind your idea of morally good that will compel everyone to accept your view of what is morally good. 3. Who goes to heaven and what exactly is there? It is a principle found in every society that when you go to "Rome you do as the Romans do". Every country demands something of anyone who wants to live there. There is no free ride, come on over and do what ever you want in any country. Everyone has rules and these rules must be obeyed in order to stay in a particular country. The same is applicable to God and Heaven. If you want to go to Heaven you must do what God requires of you. It is not an unfair principle according to our societies today and common sense. Therefore, those who do what God requires of them go to heaven. To answer the second part; God made everything good but because sin entered into the world BY MAN'S DOING things changed. Heaven is a restoration of what God had in mind for humankind before sin entered.
