Now it is my turn to give you a piece of the truth and try to free you all from the mind disorder known as Atheism.

By all means. Give it a shot!

how do you explain the existence of the universe?

Why does it matter how I explain it? Does it matter that for years and years people thought that lightning was a manifestation of the hand of some god or another? Did that make it so? No... it was still just electricity. I don't have an answer to the existence of the universe, and neither do you. It's not particularly important, believe it or not.

-It is Irrational to believe even for a moment that it WASN'T made by a- no excuse me- THE God who lives and will forever (that's why he's called God).

What? Could you explain how it's irrational? If you can believe that a god always existed, why can't you believe that the universe always existed? There are plenty of theories about how the big bang came about, including some that involve an eternal expansion and contraction, making this one of many universes in an endless cycle. What's so hard to believe about that if you've already wrapped your brain around an eternal being?

There had to have been something from the beginning.

Why?

nothing can come from nothing, so there always had to be something (do you follow?)

So, you're admitting that the universe always existed, in some form or another? Good. We agree. No need for your bizarre theory of god, then. You're an atheist now. Congratulations!

"WHY ARE U TRYING TO SEND PPL TO HELL?????"

Can't send someone to a place that doesn't exist, can we?

And even if it does exist, it's god's plan for those people to go. Since he knows everything, and has always known everything, before he created the universe, he knew about the Blasphemy Challenge, and knew every single soul that was going to perish, so it's not our fault. Look at your god for blame. All he would have needed to do was make a world without atheists. No more need for hell.

HELL is a torturous demon possessed non- stop firery inferno meant to torture those who have sinned against God and haven't received the FREE gift of eternal life through God's son- Jesus Christ.

Prove it.

Instead of FREEING humanity as you say, you are actually condemning them...which is the least HUMANE thing you could possibly do to a fellow human being.

The most humane thing to do would be to kill every baby ever born so they never have the chance to reject god and go to hell.

... that is, if your god exists, and that's really how the universe is. Lucky thing is, we don't believe that.

And I would like to comment on your the examples of how many ppl God killed vs. Satan...God killed those ppl b/c they disobeyed him, God has the right to do that b/c he created us in the first place

What a dick!

he loves evey single one of us (and I knowyou're wondering, then why would he kill a person he loves)

Yeah... doesn't sound like love to me. Sounds like he's a dick.

"Do you think that if there were a God, would you want one that you were able to understand????

Yes.

NO- we don't fully understand him and that's why he gets to be called...GOD (makes perfect logical sense).

Our school system has failed us yet again. It's actually contrary to logic.

Next, I would leave you with a few verses and I pray that you will pay close attention to them:

And I will quit reading at this point in your post. I have read the bible from one end to the other in multiple versions, with a hebrew/greek concordance at the ready. That's exactly why I'm an atheist. You should try it.

I'm decidedly unenthused.

Yes, it is. Even for moment. Is there some reason why that isn't rational?

Well shit, that explains everything!

If nothing can exist without a creator, then who created the creator? For that matter, who created the creator's creator? Not to mention the creator's creator creator's creator? It's contradicting to say the universe couldn't "just happen" because it had to be created by a god who "just happened". Do you follow?

We're not. There isn't a hell.

Oh no! Good thing it's just a fairy tale.

Condemning people for eternity is inhumane? That seems to be a regular passtime for your god. Why else would he created his non-stop demon party, hell, as you previously described?

so your parents are "allowed" to kill you if you disobey them?

this should be interesting.

Yes, I would.

Apparently, I am mistaken. Good thing you're around to answer my questions for me.

It actually makes no sense. This statement make no attempt to explain or prove anything. I'd say nice try, but this is pretty pathetic.

I'm sure you just converted eveyone on this site by using the as of yet unthought of device of quoting scripture.

Let me help you out here:

un·con·di·tion·al /ˌʌnkənˈdɪʃənl/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[uhn-kuhn-dish-uh-nl] -adjective

- Not limited by conditions;an absolute: un unconditional promise.

You see, the definition of the word "unconditional" is "without condition". Therefore, "unconditional love" is  love without condition. If you love someone unconditionally, then the absolute last thing you would ever think of doing to them is condemning them to eternal torment, especially for something as trite as "disobedience". You would never do this to someone you love. Does it make sense to you to believe in a being's "benevolence", when this same being would send you screaming into the pits of hell for some very questionable preset rules? Any sane, rational human being would find that style of benevolence highly suspect. That being said, doesn't it make sense that the concept of hell was created by people to keep people in fear?

Fear is a great deterent for any kind of thought or action. The people who created your religion did so with the goal of controlling a group of people utterly. Obviously, they were successful in this since the concept of religion perservered long beyond the memory of the people wh created it. "Hell" is being used against you as a deterrent to common sense. If you applied the same kind of common sense to your religion that you apply to your everyday life, You would stop believing. But then, they'd lose their control over you. And you call atheism a mind disorder?

If I might requote you:

you never answered this question. I hope that you would respond with an answer. You know, whenever "later" is.

Ok but I have to warn you that you are going to have to offer some proof...

That is a whole field of scientific study for that I suggest you research what they say as I do not have any degrees on the subject.

I would say it is irrational to assume it was, I need to see so proof when you make a claim about the existence of something and the workings of reality. You are confused or misinformed about most of our positions on the subject. Who here has said everything came from nothing? You also are assuming everything has to have a beginning which I would be careful about as that implies something did come from nothing.

In order for us to be trying to send someone to a location we would first have to believe such a place exists. Since no one is saying they believe in hell we aren't trying to send them there.

You aren't seeing things from our point of view. We are not convinced those ideas are true or convinced they are all false. If we don't take the ideas as fact then we will see the rules or organization supporting the rules as hindering freedoms.

So if I have kids or create life somehow I have a right to kill or massacre them for not following my rules?

What if I said yes? BTW your statement doesn't even look at logic and gives no reasons for the logical steps that would be involved in a conclusion as large as that.

Why do you assume these words mean anything to us or we haven't heard them before?

Well then to bad nether of you gives us proof to believe such ideas.

You see there is were we differ. You think things like faith, trust, hope, and love are good bases for knowledge. Most, if not all, here do not think these are good ways to find knowledge.

Why are you assuming all these things and expect us to? Also it isn't that I turn away from a idea of god it is that I don't believe in such an idea. I am not hating god I am not seeing proof for its existence and with some ideas of god realizing the idea cannot logically exist.

It's true. And if I was a polytheist, I would hate these "one true god" creationists too.

Becuase most of us are in the US, and the christians seems to like shoving their god down all other american's throats. 

 This being an American site populated predominantly with Americans, it's hardly surprising that the overwhelming focus is on christianity.  However if you dig around a little you'll find many many arguments that can be directed at any faith-based belief in the supernatural. 

 BTW Buddhism doesn't really count since Buddhists don't really make any claim about the supernatural or a Creator god.  They do make unfounded claims that people can achieve some transcendant state of consciousness through meditation, but there is certainly no moral imperative to do this implied in Buddhist teachings.  Buddhists are saying "we think this is a better way to live and we recommend it to you."  If christians held themselves to this level of rhetoric, there'd be a lot less suffering in the world.  Unfortunately, followers of the Abrahamic god have a much different message:  "do as we say or burn in hell".  

 Also, just to correct your language, no one is disproving any gods here.  That is impossible.  What we are doing is defeating (over and over and over) attempts by theists to prove their gods exist.  We've also shown that many (most?) of the claims made by theists about their gods are illogical, so if you think that illogical things can't exist, you might agree that we've disproved those particular models of god.  But we really haven't, since logic doesn't define the universe, only our understanding of it.  What has been shown is that a supernatural god can't be known, in any sense of the word.
