God is all-powerful and God answers prayers. Yet there are millions of children starving to death on our planet every year.
Why would a perfect God answer the prayers of a Christian to find her dog, while at the same time allowing millions of children to starve?
Do the thousands of obvious contradictions like this one in our world show us that God is imaginary.
If God is real, it is apparent that there is something very odd about amputees. God is supposedly answering millions of prayers on earth every day, but he completely ignores amputated limbs and refuses to restore them?
What does common sense now tell us about a Bible that supports slavery in both the Old and the New Testaments? Given the fact that the Bible clearly condones slavery, and given the fact that the Bible is an all-or-nothing book, does
it makes more sense for you to believe that God wrote the Bible, or that primitive man wrote the Bible without any input from God.
Any normal person is disgusted by religious sacrifice, and you would imagine that God would be also. Ritual slaughter like this has nothing to do with an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, prayer-answering creator of the universe. The idea of killing an animal, splattering its blood about and then burning its flesh is, quite obviously, absurd and ridiculous. In my opinion, if God existed he would have nothing to do with animal sacrifice.
Why can't the God who created the universe supply those who are supposed to represent him on earth give them money from his unimaginable wealth, but sits back as his followers beg, steal to get it at any cost from their congregations?
