There should be no atheists!

First we need to get this straight

I disagreed that you imposed on God, that He fails in His job. You (like anyone else) have no clue about what God "should" or "should not" do. Only God knows.

Do you agree with this?

Many people have already trouble to "know what they should do themselves", which proves they have no clue about God. Don't you think?

IF you point at God, remember 3 fingers point at you
I welcome your disagreements.

I don't like who I am.

But when repeatedly I turn to God for change and enlightenment, and healing, and get silence, not knowing what to do, not knowing the choices needed to be made, and I see how divided and confused people who seek the truth are, it is clear God is hiding the truth.

It makes me very resentful. If God is all powerful, and refuses to shepherd those who seek truth, he adds to the world's misery, chaos, darkness, evil, and suffering!

If I were all powerful, I would never leave people in agony, starving for food, starving for truth, starving for a friend.

Do you understand my frustrations?

I agree with you that I am not nice to God, and I want to be more nice.
I was not talking about you being nice or not to God

You missed my point.

I just said that your below quote ("If God actually did his job as..") is wrong, because God does his job perfectly. You just don't like it, and you would do it differently, and that I understand, as I would do it differently too, if I were given the chance
If God actually did his job as a Father, friend, and Shepherd

Now you phrased it well

And I understand your frustration

If God actually did his job as a Father, friend, and Shepherd, HUGE atheist regimes like the Soviet Union wouldn't rise, and there would NOT be atheists. Every one would be A Theist!

This much is obvious!

Were I God, people would see my face and hear my voice!

What percentage of the world population would NOT BELIEVE IN ME??

I think we can all agree that there is a poster at this website named spiderman. Some of you have seen my Spider YouTubes and can verify I'm the guy in the avatar.

Some might disagree as to how ugly I am , but I think we can all agree that I exist.

The same would be true if I were God. You could see my ugly face and hear my words, because I would want all souls to believe in me and avoid being tossed into a lake of fire.

Each soul has one short life on this earth, and God is love, so I want you all in heaven with me.

So, rationally, using common friggin sense and reason, I would show you my face, send you emails and YouTube's, appear to you, have a Divine Twitter account as well, and being omnipresent, I would appear to everyone, and speak to them.

Who would not believe in me??

How many atheists would there be in our world if I were God??

Therefore, God is the reason for Atheism, God is at fault for Atheism!

It is a DIRECT consequence of what he did and continues to fail to do!!

But I love you lord! I just don't like your choices! Blessed be God forever!

You will never be God, nor any human being...thankfully.

Your entire premise is false, in my view and according to the prophetic scriptures. Even when people see and know God face to face, they rebel or disobey His loving wisdom, as did Adam and Eve. The scriptures also reveal that Jesus will personally reign from Jerusalem for 1000 years bringing peace and goodness to this world, for all to see and experience. Yet, even after the 1000 years of SEEING His goodness the nations still choose to follow satan and rise up in war against Christ...the Prince of Peace.

But they would no longer be atheists. Adam and Eve were theists.

He could just put forcefield around his nations and not worry about it

It’s not as if Jesus, the All-powerful Creator and King of kings needs a force field when He can slay His enemies with a word. The problem is evil- hearted people who choose war and violence even when they’ve experienced and lived in peace all their lives. Just shows that evil comes from within the sinful human heart/mind...James 3:14-18
and peace comes only when people are in a right relationship with God personally, individually through a new life that has been transformed by Christ.

ROFL!!! I guess the King of Peace is purely a ceremonial title.:tearsofjoy:

A good judge deals with criminals to get them off the streets for the peace and safety of society. God’s ultimate judgement will put to death all sin and evil which disrupts the peace. There will be no sin in the new heaven and earth.

In your mind a good judge equals a genocidal tyrant. Might as well be Stalin.

Even if [he] just showed up here and there with a friendly word and a miracle or two for the cameras, the impact would be enormous.

Were I God there'd be substantial falls in human stupidity, human indifference, accidents, diseases, congenital defects, psychological discomforts and disorders, unemployment, homelessness, dirty politics, interpersonal violence and abuse, international tensions, inequality of peoples, inequality of opportunity, disinformation, that kind of thing. Oh, and poverty, of course.

And when that was sorted, I'd move onto parking tickets, waiting lists, bad weather, lost keys, and I'd also have suggestion boxes in convenient places.
I think we can all agree that there is a poster at this website named spiderman. Some of you have seen my Spider YouTubes and can verify I'm the guy in the avatar.
I never doubted for a moment.
Each soul has one short life on this earth, and God is love, so I want you all in heaven with me.
I'm more than happy to leave that part to you. I worry it'd get very dull after just a few centuries.
Therefore, God is the reason for Atheism, God is at fault for Atheism!
Dang right!

If it weren't for God, there couldn't be atheists!

I wouldn't.

Call me crazy, but God knows better than to put his children in a crib for all eternity. Talk about some extreme coddling. I'd much rather experience suffering and subsequent forgiveness in exchange for the room to learn and grow.

I think the murderous God of Shintoism, who has inspired suicide left right and centre everywhere in your religion, should answer for the inspiration of every hatred towards religion. But atheists are all not like you you see. Most atheists are peace loving individuals who just get on with their lives.

But you have to account for your God being born with blatant murder and suicide instigation. What with every good thing being born out of suicide? Its absolutely dangerous. Suicide everywhere. Murder and genocide everywhere in your religion.

You did not go a bit overboard in your OP, only the first line was wrong. All others were fine
.

The first line was fine too.
The fact you disagreed with it is absolutely irrelevant as to whether it was fine.

I am very aware of how Christian Russia is. I said atheist regimes like the Soviet Union would not have risen or existed , under the conditions I mentioned!

The Russian Revolution was in part because the elite tzars billed themselves as the go between separating religion from god. I.e. thet posed as demigods. The very fact that religion was all powerful (and abusive) is the reason Soviet became what it was.
