Atheists: If God existed would God……

It is really like cheating when atheists blame a God they do not believe exists...
If God does not exist God cannot be to blame for anything. ;)

Hypothesis
PHILOSOPHY
a proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth.:cool:;)

They would not be atheists if they believed that. How can someone blame something they don't believe exists? (Not that I expect a straight answer).
Okay then, it is settled. Atheists do not blame God for cancer or anything else.
Problem is a plethora of posts prove otherwise.

Been explained to you countless times. A suspicious person would suspect misdirection especially when you keep chopping the explanation out when you respond.

Then why not just type "I don't know" and leave it at that? Why keep bringing God into it?

It was you who was asked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You dodged the rest of my post.
You said: You don't need to. You are misunderstanding their post and this has been pointed out to you many times. They are asking you to explain how it works with your beliefs.

I did not dodge anything. I answered that. I have explained how it works with my beliefs many times.

And which one is that? There are literally thousands that humans have imagined.
The only God that a Baha'i can say is true is the one defined by them. That God is invisible and unknowable... and unprovable.

Except... the "proof" is the manifestations this God sent to the world. The manifestations that we have to take the Baha'is' word for it, because in the Scriptures of these various people, they all contradict each other about the things of God and who he is. So, it comes down to Baha'is telling us who were the true manifestations of God and what they really taught about God. It all comes down to one person, Mirza Husayn 'Ali, aka Baha'u'llah. No one else really matters. Are the things he claims about who he is and who God is really true? After all these posts and threads, it's still up in the air. They have "faith" and a "belief" and others have doubts and questions that can't satisfactorily be answered.

It wasn't a question. It was an explanation of why you are wrong when you claim atheists blame god.

That is not true. Atheists do blame God for many things, everything they don't like in this world.

You have to take one side or the other, atheist or believer.
If you do not believe that God exists you cannot invoke God in any conversation.
You cannot say that God might be responsible for cancer because God cannot be responsible for anything if God does not exist.

What a load of rot. There would be no discussion forums if that were the case. There would be hardly any conversation at all.

Yesterday I was discussing Yowie's (a mythical Australian beast similar to Bigfoot) with a friend. Are you saying I should not have had that conversation because I don't believe Yowie's exist?
