Children throughout millennia screaming and crying out in fear and terror as they are abused, tortured, murdered, mutilated and nothing has ever happened.
a child, woman, man, living in abject terror for years with an abuser, locked up and tortured daily, screaming in a dark room, all alone, and no matter their religion, crying out to their God to save them, but silence.
For me the most compelling argument is the purpose and reason.
let’s say they did the entire 7 days thing and then pretty much left.
No matter what you do, God will not save you, it’s been proven.
go back to any of the genocides throughout history, the serial killers, the cannibals, nothing.
literally the most serious reason where you would expect them to step in and save someone, nothing, that 9 year old girl caught by the serial killer dies alone and in abject terror calling out to god to save her, as she’s been taught this is what happens.
then wait, he is there as Mrs Smith with her kidney infection, she prayed, and her prays were answered and no kidney infection….
There is stronger evidence that Earth is actually Hell than of God existing.

I have no argument I do believe in God and God did not let evil happen God gave everybody the gift of choice when we were born it's more powerful word Than Love every breath every step we take we make a choice we choose who we want to be by the things we say into when we as a people choose the wrong choice evil things happen it was everything evil that we don't like it's up to us to stop it not up to him he wants to see who the fuck we are what are you made of what did what do you believe in when evil is around you are you going to stop it can I let the guy just stopped and said to you somehow it was created around you or around me it's up to us to stop it it's not his job to bail us out now I do and just because somebody thinks that got you just don't show up snap his fingers and take care of business you're wrong who knows that he doesn't divert things to take a different that the Wiz people are so fucking stupid sometimes dancing right in front of her face we walk right over the top of it look at our government look at the manipulation did they do they are taking this down the wrong path because CDC has bought their way through everything so we the people slowly get killed off the rich the very smart Richie Rich people they're dumber than fucking locks will end up killing themselves ride along with all of us poor people and the meek shall inherit the earth there is a bigger plan that we both would ever even think of but when something happens on this Earth and people are the cause of it it was a choice that was made we the people have to deal with it or change it not God
I lost IQ points reading all of the replies. No one could really answer your question, but that didn't stop them from replying. The simple fact is... none of us know one way or the other. I'm not religious, but I absolutely believe in a higher power. You can call that higher power what you want, but that doesn't change anything.
What created the universe and all the planets? The big bang? If so, then who created the big bang?I'm going with the string cheese theory.
This quote sums it up:
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” – Epicurus
This plus an entire host of reasons I left Christianity.

I think humans are ego centric dumbasses who think life revolves around them. The universe is MASSIVE. So massive that some parts of the universe are completely unobservable, because light hasn't reached the place yet for us to see.
And by the time light does reach those places, our solar system would be dead because of our sun's lifespan ending. Put that into perspective for a second. This is LIGHT we are talking about. It's physically impossible for us to fully experience and grasp the vastness of this world.
We are so so so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. A grain of sand has more significance in the desert than us in the universe.
And lets say the creator does exist, to think that the creator of this mind numbingly huge, complex and intricate world gives two shits about me sleeping with another man, me eating pork, me doing literally anything is weird. To think the almighty creator just exists for us to worship so we can go to heaven and live happily ever after sounds like the most narrowest and selfish ideas about a literal all knowing all powerful GOD.- https://www.youtube.com/embed/Hfs-itf5J0M

The question is: have I learned anything about life?
Only that... only that human beings are divided into mind and body.
The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun.
The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter. You know, if it turns out that there IS a God, I don't think that He's evil. I think that the worst you can say about Him is that, basically, He's an underachiever.
After all, you know, there are worse things in life than death. I mean, if you've ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman, you know exactly what I mean.
The key here, I think, is to... to not think of death as an end, but think of it more as a very effective way of cutting down on your expenses.
Regarding love, heh, you know, what can you say? It's not the quantity of your sexual relations that count. It's the quality. On the other hand, if the quantity drops below once every eight months, I would definitely look into it.
Well, that's about it for me folks. Goodbye. I don't need arguments for God's non-existence. There are an unlimited number of things that can't be proven to not exist, like Bertrand Russell's teapot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot ). So far I've seen no convincing evidence for God's existence. Old books are just words someone made up. I need something observable that cannot be explained without God. Even if I agree that there is a God, so what? What can I do with that? The one thing we do know is that prayer and other religious practices work exactly as well as doing nothing at all. In countries where people enjoy freedom of conscience, believers are no better off than non-believers.
I don't think it's possible to prove a negative. I will say though that most Christian philosophers take the problem of evil seriously. In fact, they take it so seriously that there even exists a term for arguments that seek to counteract them; "theodicies". So I don't think it's fair of you to ask a question and then dismiss the most well-known and serious objections to it with a condescending emoji.
As for my answer, all I can say is that I'm ignostic. I don't believe that the idea of who or what a God is firmly settled. If a Christian and a Pagan ask me if I believe in a creative deity and then start bickering among themselves over what it means, I'm just going to be on my merry way.There's no argument to prove God does not exist. And if you say science, I gotta say science can neither prove nor disprove his existence.
Through logic you can easily prove his existence. First through cosmological argument, you prove the existence of a first cause and later on, with further arguments founded on the conclusion you get from the cosmological argument, you can easily prove his attributes, that he's needless, omnipotent, omniscient, just and etc.
God letting evil happen is not really an argument to disprove his existence. It's just an argument to challenge his justice. But if you go step by step from the cosmological argument to arguments for proving his attributes, it's easy to clear the fog for people and prove them that the evil things that are happening in the world does not contradict the fact that he is just and caring.• No humanly proclaimed God has been observed to be scientifically studied.
• Things that exist can usually be observed and studied using tools & our human senses.
Conclusion: We can't definitively say that God doesn't exist, because the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. And it's like that with everything. However, since we can't observe or study a God's existence, we can conclude that the God's existence or lack thereof really doesn't & shouldn't matter to us since it will remain speculation due to lack of valid grounds for a pro-God argument towards the existence of God.You need to be able to present falsifiable evidence for god before you can construct an argument against it.
So I don't have an argument for god not existing because I don't need one as the burden of proof lies with the side making the positive claim which in this case is theists.
So far, a valid and logically sound argument which shows god does exist hasn't been made. No credible and reliable evidence has ever been presented in favour of god. Until that has been done, I need no case against it.Many religions are actually in a way "copied" from some other so called religions which raises a valid concern in existence of thier deistic entities and validation of data supporting their beliefs. It's still really hard to prove that god doesn't exist but its even harder to prove his/hers existence.
I have thousands of reasons, the most compelling of which depends on what *you* think is God, and the fact that every single person has a different interpretation of what and who God is, is an argument against God in itself, but anyway, the answer is that there is no such thing as free will. No free will, no God.
Because religion and all it's dogma are man-made tools created long ago and meant too control ignorant and gullible people through fear and intimidation which still continues to this day and age. Any one who has not drank the dogma Kool-Aid knows the supreme power in the universe is nature. Or at least The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
i won't argue with a non believer i don't see the point. if however a disbeliever asks me question i try to show whats written. seldom have i ever talked with a disbeliever who's spent any time reading the Bible.
I just never met him or saw him... i'm very objective and visual... like is he a catfish or something?
I don't have one. If there is a Created, there is a Creator.

first tell me...
which of the 8,000 to 12,000 gods out there we're talking about here? Lack of compelling evidence.
For me the God Hypothesis requires proving not disproving.the fact that no ones caught one examined its properties and set it back out into the wild like a wild animal
Big bang theory and life came from chemical evolution
Maybe because no one knows what happens when we die so basically... It makes sense.
well i see lots of reasons people would want god to exist and not a lot of reasons he actually does
Evolution.
