Debate: is god true?
Side: no ,god is not true

Don't blame God for the acts of men.An experimenter puts a rat in a box with a piece of food. Whenever the rat gets near the food, the experimenter shocks the rat. After repeated exposures, the rat no longer tries to get the food; in fact, it is afraid of it, and strenuously avoids it. The experimenter says, "Don't blame me for the rat being afraid of the food. He has free will." Does this sound reasonable?Now, pretend the experimenter is responsible for designing not just the box but the rat itself, all the way down to the most intricate functions of its brain. The experimenter knew that the rat would be hungry, because he created the rat to get hungry, and it knew exactly what effects the shocks would have, because he designed the rat's brain and nervous system. Do you see the comparison? Granted, the real world is far more complex, but in essence, there is no difference between humans and God, and the experimenter and the rat. Assuming Christianity is correct, God created us, and he created every single variable capable of influencing our thoughts and development from the moment of our conception. He had complete knowledge of every effect that each of his actions would have, even thousands and thousands of years from the moment he created everything. When he created the world in the way he did, and created people the way he did, he essentially set the world on a trajectory which it has no choice but to follow.To address the specific example of cancer, God created cancer and God instilled in humans the suspectibility to it. The trajectory on which he set the world ensured that certain people would be in situations that would give them cancer, and because he is all-knowing, he knew exactly who each and every one of these people would be. He didn't descend from the heavens and give them an injection of cancerous cells or whatever, but if he is the all-powerful and all-knowing creator, then he is most definitely responsible for any and everything that happens to his creation, good or bad. People can't just shrug their shoulders when shitty things happen to innocent people and say it's not God's fault, especially if they try to give him any credit for the good things.Atheism is a religion as well. Refer to definitions 3 and 4 for the application. An Atheist "believes" that God doesn't exist. You have no way to prove or disprove him, you act on faith that there is no God in the universe.No, it isn't. Atheism is the rejection of your claim of a deity, and that's all. The very definition of religion that you cited should be enough information to discern that atheism is not a religion, but a lack of one. There is no service, worship, dogma, code of conduct, rituals, leaders, or required set of beliefs. If it wasn't for the persistent tendency of Christians to cling to semantics in order to 'prove' that atheism is a religion (to what end, I cannot imagine) then I would think the dictionary definition of atheism is fine. But as it is, it would be more accurately described as 'the lack of belief in God' rather than 'the belief that there is no God'.If atheism is a religion, then the lack of belief in anything else is also a religion. As there are infinite things not to believe in, then there are infinite religions, and we would all belong to the vast majority of them. If there are infinite religions and we all belong to most of them, then don't you think that essentially cheapens religion into a meaningless concept?
