I’ve seen a few times when some Christians come back and say how us atheists hate god.
Or how could we believe that god would want this or that.
These sort of statement makes no sense to me.
How can we hate something that isn’t there?

And one is a Christian organization.

Why would you think that we would not?
True donors don't flash such pictures for sensationalism or to score brownie points on an anonymous message board. You aspiring to be Bono? There already is one.

So, guess what I didn't complain for long, because I recognized the error in my ways, and so I changed what He asked me to change.
So let me ask you this. You don't give credit to yourself much, do you? You are the one who changed, no one told you to do so.
It appears that those who "change" always give credit to god thing. Not the themselves. Pretty sad state.

If I tell you not to play with a snake because it will bite you, it's not a scare tactic. It is a way of telling you about the danger of playing with snakes. But if people still want to play with the snake, I'm not going to twist there arm and make them change their. I only say, when you get bite, don't blame anyone but yourself.
Weak argument.
Snake is real, bite is real and danger of the bite is real. You're comparing myth and reality. Not working!

Yes you do, you just don't want to admit it

First off your wrong about “true donors” is that something like “ true Christians” lol
Anyway. Are you trying to derail the thread?
I posted the photo because that is part of my argument that there is no god.

Lets not stray to far from the ops question.

People have a tendency to blame God for everything and over look the wickedness of men.

I read about a family that purposely starved their children nearly half to death. I think they had about 6 kids. Now the people were responsible for what they were doing to these kids. But I'm sure that people will say that God is at fault.

We are only looking at a picture and don't really know the real circumstance of what is really going on. I pray for people all the time. I can only know if my prayers is being answered if I am there to see it, but don't doubt it being done.

I see people here in america all the time that are hurting and sick. I pray for them and go about my day and assist them as needed. When I am dealing with people on a more personal level and I pray for them, I have the opportunity to see God work, because I am there to see it. When I am praying for someone on television, how am I to know what God is doing in there life, unless God gives me a revelation of that.
You're contradicting yourself. First, you said that god will answer prayer. Now, it's god could. But we all know he won't. Because there is no god - just as Aeroman says.
Concerning the "Choice" of going to heaven or hell, I invite you to post in the forum entitled: Do Christians Differentiate Between Choice And Ultimatum?

Oddly enough, no mention of your wonderful god. Have you conveniently forgotten?

This isn't about God.

And I don't derail threads. I am not the one who posted gory images of suffering babies. I can understand some people can have that fetish.

The Somalian famine buttressed by the political turmoil is largely the handiwork of men.

God's not the architect of dictators. You just can't walk across I-85 at 12 noon, expecting the archangel to be sent to airlift you. Only stupid people do that.

It's also not God's fault that some christian woman sucks bad at the whip/handcuffs bed
