If there is a God, wouldn't God have to be an awfully mean character to force us to live with death anxiety? Since God has not revealed "Himself" in a way that convinces us skeptics, "He" has left us to think that we get eternal oblivion when we die. This creates tremendous anxiety for the human race. I would imagine that myself and many others are feeling similar to a prisoner on death-row. It's NOT FUN, so if there is a God, I'm saying that he must be a mean jerk. Maybe if I was a bad person, I could rationalize it as being some kind of punishment. But I am an outstanding person, and have done nothing to warrant such a punishment. This is part of the reason I can't believe in God. Christians generally say that God has revealed Himself via the bible and in nature. How is an ancient manuscript supposed to convince me of anything? And nature? Are you kidding me!? When I look at nature, I see too much cruelty and indifference and in my mind, it does not point to the existence of a God. Some try to argue that God has purposefully hidden His existence as a way to test humans on how they would behave in a universe apparently absent of divine punishments or rewards. Hypothetically, this would be the only way for God to see people's true colors and to judge them accurately. I suppose this hypothesis is possible, but I certainly can't believe it. It seems a bit farfetched. If this life is some kind of crazy test, I think I will pass with flying colors. God would probably save me, an atheist, over many Christians. That's what's so ironic. Christians place so much emphasis on belief, as if God would save them because they believed the right thing. How silly. Only an evil God would judge people by their beliefs. And if God was that evil, He would be unlikely to save anyone. A just God would judge people by their behaviors only. If I was a God, that's what I would do. Hopefully one day I can become a God and do exactly that. What kind of God would I be you ask? Who knows? Maybe I would be a mean jerk. via Eternal Life Fan Club http://ift.tt/1z7E1pn
