What will be an atheist's answer ?

[FredVB]

No one is 100% good in this world. This world came into existence because of Bad. The root cause of this world coming into existence is Bad.

The bad in this world is from choice. The first sin, in rebellion, and every choice that is hurtful to any has the world worsen, more and more. We are part of it without real repentance to stop from that contribution. Who is making the world better? We should be contributing to that.

The only 'who' making the world better is us. The only 'who' making the world worse is us. The non-whos making the world better worse and better are dumb natural processes

 

[Banach-Tarski Paradox]

Both theist and atheist were the victim of poverty in life. Somebody asked:

Hey theist why are you sad ?
Theist's answer: Sad because God has not provided me enough money in my life.

Hey atheist are you also sad because God has not given you enough money in your life ? or its your own faliure ? or something else ?

I’ve never heard a so-called “theist” say that.

I don't personally think God cares about numbers - in our years or months or days or weeks on this earth, our bank accounts, our credit scores, etc.

Me either, for the record.

I would assume that both the poor theist and the poor atheist would be sad because they do not have their basic needs met. They cannot buy enough food, or struggle to stay off the streets. They don't have to have reasons in order to feel sad.

But as long as we are discussing reasons, I would say that a great many theists would NOT say that they are poor because of God. They are more likely to blame the injustice of society, just as an atheist would.

Instead of a made up answer based on stereotypes, let’s consider how theists behave in the real world.

When a poor theist child is hungry, she will throw rocks at birds with a slingshot, so that she can cook and eat the bird. ( Apparently, the birds taste like chicken, although they have very little meat.)

What do atheist children do when they are hungry?

I’ve seen atheist adults blame God for all their problems, which I always found a little weird, to be honest.

Well, a poor theist girl will not even realize that she is poor until she gets older and sees how people live in cities.

The main thing that theist children feel sad about is not being able to have a pair of shoes to wear.

But theist children don’t blame God for their inability to buy shoes. When you grow up as a theist, stuff like that is just a part of life.

Sometimes I wonder if growing up with shoes is what makes some atheists feel that they are superior to theists.

Could growing up in the lap of such privilege be a factor in their feelings of atheist superiority?
