Debate: Do you believe in God?
Side: No!!

A creator God - perhaps. The biblical God - no way in hell (pun intended.) For two main reasons - 1) he is immoral and 2) the problem of evil. 1) He is immoral. He commits genocide by flooding the earth and destroying everybody alive. (Genesis 6:7) He hardens Pharaoh’s heart, removing his free will so that he will not free the Israelites, allowing God to continue to cruelly and brutally torture the Egyptians, who were merely servants to a tyrant and had no part in Pharaoh’s decisions. (Exodus 7:3)God kills all the firstborn sons in the entire land of Egypt, even the sons of slave girls who played no part in oppressing the Israelites. On a much grander scale, God sets a plague upon the Israelites and kills a whopping twenty-four thousand of them because a bunch of them had sex with people who practiced a different religion than them. (Numbers 25: 1-9) My personal favorite Bible story - He sends two bears to tear forty two children to shreds for calling Elisha a “baldhead.” (Kings 2, 2: 23 – 24) In addition to the immoral acts that God commits, there are the immoral acts that he commands - Homosexuals must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10-13)Those who pick up sticks on the Sabbath must be put to death. (Exodus 35:2) Blasphemers must be stoned to death. (Leviticus 24:16)Girls who are not virgins when they get married must be put to death. (Deuteronomy 22:13-21)Disobedient teenagers must be put to death. (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)Prostitutes whose fathers are priests must be burnt to death. (Leviticus 21:9)NOW - the only decent counter argument I have heard to this is that since God creates morality, he decides what is moral and what is not, so he can't be immoral. Indeed, perhaps atheists/agnostics are using their own personal judgment of morality, and have no credibility! But this too would be incorrect. if God is the sole proprietor of morality, he is necessarily a hypocrite as well, ordering Israel to show no mercy on their enemies, wiping out the armies that oppose them, murdering countless babies in Egypt, and accepting bargains involving human sacrifice… All the while telling the Israelites “Though shalt not commit murder.” As has been proven above, this specific commandment should have far more accurately read “Thou shalt not commit murder… unless I say so.” On the subject of the apparent prohibition of adultery and “coveting thy neighbor’s wife,” God’s favorite King David himself found Bathsheba desirable, impregnated her, and had her husband, Uriah, killed so that he could have Bathsheba to himself. After God killed their child, he rewarded the couple with a second son, who went on to become the great King Solomon. When it comes to thievery, God repeatedly commands his chosen people to ruthlessly destroy their enemies and steal what is not destroyed for themselves - Including the people who can service as slaves, and the women who are found to be desirable. 2) The problem of evil. Here is the argument presented clearly by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy –  If God exists, then God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent.If God is omnipotent, then God has the power to eliminate all evil.If God is omniscient, then God knows when evil exists.If God is omnibenevolent, then God has the desire to eliminate all evil. Evil exists.If evil exists and God exists, then either God doesn’t have the power to eliminate all evil, doesn’t know when evil exists, or doesn’t have the desire to eliminate all evil.Therefore, God doesn’t exist.I have not gone into a good amount of detail about the problem of evil so I am open to any questions regarding it, because I maintain that it successfully disproves the Biblical God. In conclusion - A God who created the world is something entirely different. But when people ask "do you believe in God" the question usually refers to the Christian/Biblical God. So, as I have shown, I do not believe in God - and for good reason.
