I agree wholeheartedly; however, the defense to the issue of evil is that humans were granted free will. So I suppose God is like, "haters gonna hate."I wouldn't call myself adhering to any ideology, but I'm more of an agnostic-atheist rather than an outright atheist.
My belief is that there's no way to tell if God exists or not as we lack any kind of irrefutable evidence to back up any claim. We can't tell that God exists, but we can't tell that God doesn't exist either nor do we know if there's one god or multiple gods.
There's no evidence. There are no indicators that help any side of the question. Without evidence, there's no way to back up a premise.
However, I do defend that God, as described in Abrahamic religions (such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam), doesn't exist. Those religions describe God as omnipotent, omniscient, merciful and good. If God is exactly as described, wouldn't he have the power to make this world better? Wouldn't he be benevolent and good-nature to rid the world of its evils? Wouldn't he know the solution to all of this world's problems?
I fail to see why such an all-powerful, benevolent entity would ignore the problems of this world and wouldn't use his might to turn it into something good. Therefore, it stands to reason that God, as an omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent being is something that doesn't make sense from a purely logical point of view.
Therefore, I live my life and form my own opinions with atheism in mind. The God described in those religions doesn't and cannot exist in my own point of view.
Also, I don't intend to debate. You're free to believe in what you think is right. So, whether you agree or disagree with me, let's just leave it at that and respect each other.
