There's no compelling evidence to believe a god exists. ESPECIALLY not the bible. The burden of proof lies with the person claiming it exists. Or until God himself comes out from hiding.

I DONT EXIST cri pleZ SNED ME haLP!!!! (Non descript existential crryyyyiinnngnggggg)

So let me get this straight. There is an invisible person who sees everybody and is everywhere. He makes an entire universe full of wonders. But all of this is only to make the perfect conditions for a specific tiny animal on a tiny rock in the universe.

Even though he knows everything there is to know and exactly what will happen already, he decides each one of these creatures will play a game. If they follow the rules, they get to hang out with him forever and be happy. If they don't, they go to a place where they will be tortured forever. But it all depends on this small window of time (much like a trap in the saw movies except with eternal torture)

Now all of these people start out with the potential to be tortured by default with evil on their souls. The only way to fix this is to get a special person to pour water onto your head in a ceremony. He creates people with tendencies toward breaking the rules. He puts some people in worse situatuons than others. In fact, some people die before they have a chance to be in this world.

But its all part of the game.

The rules of the game were written on rocks on a mountain thousands of years ago and witnessed by one chosen person. These rocks are nowhere to be found today. But that's okay. There were also random people chosen at different times to write stories. There was also random people who got to pick which stories are the ones the invisible guy chose as the right ones. After that there were many people editing the stories into other languages and interpretations. Today, there are several versions of these stories. Hidden within them are the rules to the game. Mind you, the creatures must get this right or they will be tortured forever.

The invisible man used to talk to people all the time. He would tell them exactly what to do. But the better the people get at communication and documenting what he says, the less he appears to them. In fact, in a time where everybody could identify him beyond a doubt, he is nowhere to be found. They are supposed to use one of the books we discussed earlier to win the game.

But he loves all of them no matter what. Even the ones he sends to be tortured. In fact he loves them so much, he makes his own son as one of them, has him clarify and rewrite a few of the rules, and then has him tortured and killed even though he does nothing wrong. This somehow saves everyone, but not really because they still have to play the game.

God doesn't exist. Instead of admitting that we dont know if there's a higher power in the universe, we tell ourselves that there's a magic power in the sky who watcher everyone and everything. For the sake of the argument let's say god does exist. Well if he does he's doing a pretty crappy job. How can he let children starve? How can he let wars and destruction happen? How can he let terrorism happen? How could he have let slavery happen? A god that let's this happen is a pretty crappy one.

Of course god is not real. There is no scientific proof that "god" exists or ever did exist. The belief in god was a man made concept that ignorant people still fall for, because they are looking for something.

Since there's no option for "maybe", I'll take this side.

The reason I will take this side is because a god that correlates with any specific holy text, and is exactly as described in that holy text, is probably nonexistent.

Most religions have a god or gods so I don't think it's impossible that people have drawn inspiration from something. It doesn't mean it's necessarily a supernatural entity, but it's not impossible.

This is why I'll take holy texts as a whole as a suggestion that there may be something, but I won't take individual holy books or mythologies as proof of that individual god.

God is not real, at least I don't believe so.

There is a possibility that there is a higher power, I don't have the right to confirm that there isn't but I do have the right to say that I strongly do not believe in God.

When the Jews were enslaved by the Egyptians, they were devastated by death, insects, diseases, etc. which were all caused by God. However, there are NO records of this ever occurring in Egyptian texts (at least not yet). In addition, the purpose of God is to give mankind reassurance therefore it is extremely likely that someone created god to give people a form or reassurance since the whole "how the world started" is very stressful and mind boggling.

Therefore I must strongly believe that god is not real.
