If god's real why do so many bad things happen?
Well, pretty much all religions have do's and dont's, because if you do you will all create a society full of bad things. It's fair to say pretty much all religions have their do's and dont's openly violated, so things go wrong in society, our faults not gods.
What about the big bang and other scientific discoveries?
If you looked at religions and their holy scripts, one inparticular might cause you to rethink.
Why does god allow people to die and get diseases like cancer?
If every person who has ever lived was still here, we'd all live in poverty. If you looked at religions you may find one that tells you to look after yourself (Excercise, healthy eating, no smoking maintain hygeine etc) if you do that, cancer and many other diseases are unlikely to come to you
Why would god let war happen?
God gives humans freewill, this way, those that do bad will know theyve done bad and be shown what they've done, then punished, so that a persons soul can be purified and not feel like they've been treated unjust.
Religion causes war
Does it? no religions tell people to fight war, sometimes religion can be used as an excuse by some, but those people aren't really in it for religion.
If religion can be used as an excuse then shouldn't it be done away with?
No. Gold has caused war, race has caused war, oil has caused war, they cant be gotten rid of anymore than faith, either because it's impossible or these things and others are needed by us. Were these things not around people would find other ''reasons''. There is only one cause of war, human beings.
Surely the world would be a better place without religion though?
No, it'd be far worse, without faith in a god or supreme being, people will have less morals, less guidance and less abstinance from things that they shouldn't be doing, then tell themselves there's ''nothing wrong with it''. The guidance of a religion can see a person maintain discipline and keep away from trouble
Back in caveman times and a while past that period, there was no proper concept of god or a supreme being, and when there was they were fabricated, or involved idol worship, and seen as favouring their tribe to butcher others, this before the holy scripts that forbin tribalism and brutality. There was definately no morality then. Brutal regimes, such as the Soviet regime and the North Korean regime, both declare/d atheism as their state religion. To this day, both North Korean and modern Russian society are known for lack of religiosity and ethical deprivation within their societys.
What's the evidence that suggests god is real?
Reverse the question, what's the evidence to suggest he isn't real? Most atheists have never read a holy book or script, so they have not heard the beliefs and explanations, if they did, again they may be surprised. They claim to not believe, yet they don't know what it is they are disbelieving. Another annoyance is that atheists based their arguements on making points against the bible, is Christianity the only religion?
''I know there have been difficulties these last few years. I know that the trust that binds us has been strained, and I know that strain is shared in many places where the Muslim faith is practiced. Let me say this as clearly as I can: the United States is not at war with Islam. In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical in rolling back a fringe ideology that people of all faiths reject.
But I also want to be clear that America’s relationship with the Muslim work cannot and will not be based on opposition to al Qaeda. Far from it. We seek broad engagement based upon mutual interests and mutual respect. We will listen carefully, bridge misunderstanding, and seek common ground. We will be respectful, even when we do not agree. And we will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better – including my own country. The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their family, or have lived in a Muslim-majority country – I know, because I am one of them.
Above all, we will demonstrate through actions our commitment to a better future. We want to help more children get the education that they need to succeed. We want to promote health care in places where people are vulnerable. We want to expand the trade and investment that can bring prosperity for all people. In the months ahead, I will present specific programs to advance these goals. Our focus will be on what we can do, in partnership with people across the Muslim world, to advance our common hopes, and our common dreams. And when people look back on this time, let it be said of America that we extended the hand of friendship.''
So, Mr.President, where was that ''respect'' when you launched an attack on pakistan that killed several civilians? An attack carried out when you didn't even have the permission of the Pakistani authorities, an attack that wasn't even a one off. Where was this ''respect'' during your presidential campaign, where you and your team delibaretly kept Muslim women in headscarves out of photographs at a Detroit event?
People, do not be fooled by Obama.
