Here is the problem. Atheists make 2 assumptions:

1. There is no god and all religions are man made with all gods being imaginary.

or

2. There is a god and all the religions and problems should be blamed on him.

What they never seem to consider is that there is a God but he as nothing to do with most religions.

I am well aware of how corrupt religions are and of their role in wars, genocide, torture, etc.....

Chances are you don't believe in God because of all the problems that exist in the world. You believe that if there is a God he would do something. The truth is that he is allowing humans to rule this planet to prove that we need him. WE are the cause of wars, rape, torture, etc. However, because of your mortality you lack patience.

Judgment day is not absurd. Judgment day is the day he regains control and destroys the wicked humans causing all of our problems.

You think the concept of God is absurd? You believe that by accident this planet contains precious metals such as silver, gold, bronze, copper, and platinum. You believe by accident this planet contains precious stones such as rubies, emeralds, sapphires, diamonds, marble among other minerals. You believe by accident a reflective satellite orbits this planet providing light for a night sky. You believe by accident this planet orbits a ball of energy at just the right distance that life is capable.

You believe by accident that life originated. That that life would take the form of complex creatures both fully functional and beautiful in form such as dolphins, horses, lions, wolves, eagles, etc.. You believe by accident that plants formed.

That by accident a water cycle of evaporation and precipitation would provide water for most areas of this planet. That by accident after some showers a rainbow would appear.

You believe that by accident this planet is tilted allowing for a variety of different seasons. Seasons in which plants would become beautiful fragrant flowers in the spring. Provide fruits and vegetables throughout the summer. Then in autumn their leaves would display a rainbow of colors before falling.

You believe by accident seeds reach out in the soil for nutrients and collect solar power through leaves from a source of energy thousands and thousands of miles away. That by accident these plants would turn this energy into sugars and starches. That by accident delicious fruit would hang by delicate stems made for picking. By accident the plants and animals would create a symbiotic relationship to produce and consume oxygen and carbon dioxide.

That by accident one creature would learn to create music, art, gardens, architecture, and various beautiful cultures. That this superior creature would think and reason. That these humans are in fact intelligent designers capable of a variety of creations. Yet, some of them refuse to consider that maybe there are beings above them.

Sorry if I believe all this was no accident. Sorry if I don't blame God for man's mistakes including most of the corrupt religions of this world.

Most religions are corrupt. Here is an example everyone should like. Have you heard the Lord's prayer also known as the model prayer? It goes "Our father who art in heaven.....blah blah blah" Here are 3 reason why most religions are clueless.

1.)Most Christian religions memorize it and say it over and over. What most of these idiots don't realize is that Jesus flat out told them not to repeat it. Someone asked Jesus how to pray and he gave an example. Before giving the example, he gave specific instructions. In Matthew 6:7 Jesus says to NOT say the same things over and over. Other religions have chants, Jesus was saying that prayer should be from the heart NOT recited. Then he gave the model prayer. AND THESE IDIOT MEMORIZE AND REPEAT IT. I'm calling them idiots because their ignorance and corruption makes God look bad. (I don't believe Jesus is God)

2.) The Bible was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. Yet, most religions today choose to read an outdated translations in archaic English instead of a translation in modern in English. They seem to think it is holier to speak in old English. So instead of "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified", they say "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name." If you are going to quote the Bible, do so in your normal native language or in the original. Don't bring in some outdated language no one uses anymore.

3.) Most Christian religions believe that all good people go to heaven. That isn't in the Bible anywhere. The Bible says "the meek will inherit the Earth" (Psalms 37:11). The model prayer says in their translation "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven". These idiots memorize that scripture but if you ask them what that means, they have no FREAKIN' idea!!!

So all you atheists should enjoy that. 3 examples why most Christians are clueless based on one Bible scripture.

Hell is not in the Bible, it was just a scare tactic used to control people. Most people think demons are red with horns, pitchforks, and pointed tails. According to the Bible, demons are just bad angels. There is no difference in appearance. Satan was said to be one of the most beautiful, that is why he rebelled. He is described as turning into an "angel of light". That's why religions are so corrupt.
