Do any atheists here have what they consider a strong argument against the existence of a god?

I don't tend to claim that there is no God, the atheists you see on here are mostly little kids who think they know everything - most atheists do not say there is definitely no God contrary to common belief. I just don't see a good reason to believe in a God, but I don't claim to know the unknowable. Some Christians think that atheists would not change even if they were shown proof, that is wrong.

If I am ever shown real evidence I will change my mind. Having said all that, things make it difficult to believe in a God. The theists' God is a benevolent God who rewards believers and damns nonbelievers; such a God would want everyone to be a believer.

Since this God is also omnipotent, he should easily be able to convince nonbelievers to believe. It then follows that if the theists' version of God exists, there would not be any nonbelievers. There are, however, many nonbelievers in the world.

Theistic believers often like to present scriptures as facts. Quoting something said that you used from the bible or other religious book to infer a conclusion is not a legitimate point or argument. Using scriptures relies on presupposing existence rather than actual proof of existence.

Therefore, a bible quote is metaphysical theorising and not empirical evidence. Religious people say that life is a test, we are being tested by their version of God. Um, ok, did God say, "I'll leave some stories with ridiculous ideas in them, maybe some talking animals and winged creatures.

I'll also make it impossible to tell which God is the right one, since there will just be some old scribbles in the desert they'll have to figure out. It's a puzzle, they'll love it! But if they worship the wrong God, or no God at all, I'll punish them for all eternity in hell.

Because I love them." Religious people say that their version of God, whatever that may be, gave us 'free will' to do as we please, but then how can they use the free will card to explain natural disasters and the many diseases, problems which are not caused by people's free will? They can't.

Before I change my mind, all of the above would have to be refuted plus I would have to have some of this personal experience of God that people talk about.

The best argument against the Judeo-Christian God is the Bible. It is chock full of contradictions and is the reason I became an atheist. The best argument against any deity is that there simply is no evidence for one.

The same holds true for leprechauns, fairies, and aliens. I do find it funny though that you say a world without some bad folks and bad events would be unmitigated boredom. Isn't that what heaven is supposed to be like?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
