  Nope. God is a construct of man’s own mortality. Needs to be there to trick bad people to be good.

    Ever hear people say they don’t trust atheists because without God, they have no moral compass?

    Well, I don’t trust people whose only reason to not rape, pillage, and plunder is because they believe in a fairy tale that says they’ll burn in Hell if they submit to their dark fantasies. That’s a person who is inherently bad, but resisting it, and ine day, they may stop resisting. I prefer people who are inherently good, and dont need fear motivation to behave properly in society.

    Most of the bad people ARE the religious people.

      It’s pretty apparent. Why would a god let his preachers steal from their followers to simply fund their evil life style?

        Technically that would be a defense if the god in question was actually as powerful as they say they are or that they are nessisarily good. There is always a possibility that Gods exist but are not on the hook to tell the truth and their goals do not align with humans.

        A lying god telling the kids they have magic powers well beyond them and proving it like an uncle playing a dumb trick on the three year olds at a family reunion is a possibility. Maybe God exists and is just kind of an ass?
