When atheists represent God incorrectly (God gives babies cancer) is when I care.

If I posted that atheists sacrifice babies to Satan you would care, because it’s an obvious and disgusting lie.

Constantly posting that God gives babies cancer and allows them to suffer and dir because He is a cruel bastard is definitely on that level. It’s not true.

Atheist here and I wouldn’t care. Maybe some atheists do? That doesn’t mean all do, and I know that I don’t.

I know who I am and what I believe. Words can’t hurt me, but they can teach me. I keep an open, critical mind. Maybe ask yourself why you feel defensive if someone criticizes your religion or the actions of people who share your religion? Or not. It’s your life.

No, it is a strawman, off topic, non-sequitur response to a reasonable, millennia-old philosophical question about the existence of god.

God is an unlimited being. The existence of an unlimited being is either logically necessary or logically impossible.

The existence of an unlimited being is not logically impossible.

Therefore, the existence of God is logically necessary.

Whether or not God exists is a matter of personal belief that cannot be proven scientifically.

If you personally don’t believe in God or gods, hooray. But your personal beliefs are yours alone. You don’t decide for humankind if God or gods do or don’t exist.

The evidence is of the logical impossibility, not scientific. Stay on topic please. Respond to Epicurus' questions.

One of the groups that debated with Paul on the streets of Athens was Epicurean (Acts 17:18)

Epicurus thought gods did exist, but they lived so far away from the world of mankind.


Epicurus was a classical Greek philosopher (341 BCE), and his arguments are not focused towards
Christians, because he predates the Jewish based religions which conquered the Roman Empire after 300 CE under the Byzantine Emperor Constantine the Great.

Here are six (6) responses to the Epicurean paradox.

Again you do not answer the questions, and respond with strawmen. The fact that Epicurus predates christianity is evidence against christianity because the questions still exist.

A quick glance at that document indicates its assertion and reliance on faith-based ignorance in the abstract paragraph.

It basically ignores the questions and says "nahhh.. god is good" using biblical quotes without addressing the problem of evil in any way.

Just like you and everyone else.

Trying to follow the “logic” here…

Atheists are insisting that God gives babies cancer.

If atheists believe God gives babies cancer, why would they not believe in Satan?

A god can't give anyone anything if he, she, or it doesn't exist. Atheists are just criticizing the logic of your fiction.

Atheists aren’t basing their criticism in Christian theology. They are basing it on inaccurate interpretations and personal opinions.

God in Christianity does not give babies cancer to punish them.

God created man to be His companion. Man wanted to be like God and disobeyed God, and man introduced sin into the world.

If you don’t like it, that’s your choice, but that is what Christians believe.

Making up personal fan fiction about God and Christianity proves nothing except you are too busy making up stories to learn about Christianity.

You can criticize Christianity everyday all day long, but nowhere does the Bible or God state that cancer is given to babies by God to punish them and cause their death.

Everyone agrees the bible doesn't say god gives babies cancer - although it says he does lots of other really horrible stuff like killing a bunch of kids with a bear because they called a guy baldy, and drowning nearly everyone on the planet, men women and children.

Please address Epicurus' and other's question of evil.

Again, it's much more commonly Christians who claim God is punishing people for sin. Claiming this is something atheists commonly do (because you read one mocking post on DCUM?) Isn't accurate.

You are making up stories that fit your personal beliefs (which are fine for you, but not necessarily accurate to Christianity nor are they pertinent to the beliefs of others) and asking Christians to explain Christianity and God to you…there is literally a site that lays everything out in black and white.

I mean there's literally a Psalm that says "happy are they that seize their infants and dash them against rocks".

The Bible is pretty violent.

My take? I don't care what you believe or practice as long as it doesn't harm anyone (including through restriction of freedoms, such as the FLDS) and you don't bring it to my doorstep.

Religion is easy to exploit to cynical and unholy purposes of financial and political gains. Many of us strongly disagree with that

Religious freedom and separation of church and state are very important for healthy democracies.

There are enough people that leave and join churches, coming and going. Why are atheists so convinced that people won’t see a church for what it is? That they’ll be exploited. Most intelligent people can see. Unintelligent people will be exploited by anything, let alone a church.

A. https://www.gotquestions.org/is-God-evil.html

What you mean is you don't give a $%$%# about the question. I get it, because there is no logical answer. If there was you would provide it.

As for your link, you need only read past the paragraph that asserts the people of Sodom deserved what god did to them:

The claim that those God punished were “uniformly blameless” is completely without merit and historically inaccurate. The Bible records the exact opposite about the peoples whom God acted upon in judgment. A few examples include:

“After the LORD your God has driven them out before you, do not say to yourself, ‘The LORD has brought me here to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.’ No, it is on account of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is going to drive them out before you. It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take possession of their land; but on account of the wickedness of these nations, the LORD your God will drive them out before you, to accomplish what he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” (Deuteronomy 9:4-5, emphasis added).

Those are words from YOUR link, and not only do they not address the problem of evil, they pinpoint illustrate the need for the question, because this behavior attributed to god is objectively evil.

I see the moderation team deleting any posts that are considered proselytizing by Christians on this forum.

Why are atheists and anti-theists allowed to proselytize here but not Christians?

Maybe because the atheists are simply stating facts.
