It's many things, rational is not one of them.
Any religious people watch the Wonders of Life last night?

I don't think you know what the word 'irony' means.
No I didn't. I said there's no evidence for the existence of god.
Ok mate, you know best.
No way fella. You, like all the other atheists on this thread, emphatically declared that God does not exist.
Hang on, so there are God's people and others? Who made these others? Surely the Pharoah would also be one of God's people?

God is a handy way of explaining things that we don't understand.
There have been Sun gods, Thunder gods, Rain gods etc
That is exactly what the bible is all about...it's authors were writing about things they didn't understand.
Genesis featured a Rainbow
It's quite amusing really.
There is no physical evidence of God or Jesus, God has never spoken to anyone or taken over all the TV's in the world to deliver a message.
I quote:
Nothing in Christianity is original. The pre-Christian God Mithras - called the Son of God and the Light of the World - was born on December 25, died, was buried in a rock tomb, and then resurrected in three days. By the way, December 25 is also the birthday or Osiris, Adonis, and Dionysus. The newborn Krishna was presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Even Christianity's weekly holy day was stolen from the pagans.
The religion will, and has already started to die out.

Oh have I? Please show me where in this thread I said that.

Nope is nope is nope.
People believing in evolution does not equal people not believing in God.
You just jump to atheist as soon as someone says anything against your magic book.
I have never ever seen anything which would suggest that the concept of God is nothing more than a fictional human invention.

So why are you prattling on to those who don't follow your belief to prove that God doesn't exist? If it's a system based on faith then the irony is overloading based on what you're trying to say.
On the contrary individuals like yourself should be providing proof of existence
and not the other way round.
Anyway, it's pretty obvious you're clutching at straws now and pulling out the "it's my belief" card when in the spotlight.
I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, I don't think some others are either but what we are trying to do is understand why people like you claim to be tolerant and open to choice yet display the exact opposite.
Pic that may be considered disturbing
If there is a God, consider this quote by the Greek philosopher Epicurus (341-270BC, Athens)
I suppose these guys missed a Sunday in church?
That quote has been done over so many times. Free will is what makes evil possible. Can God prevent evil? Yes. But then we wouldn't have free will. If a creature is truly free it must have the ability to abuse that freedom. And that is what has made evil possible. Suffering of his creation is not Gods will, but his will has also made it possible.

Also, when atheists speak of God stopping evil, where do you draw the line? The murder level? The rape level? The cheating level? Or the evil thoughts level? All humans on the face of this earth are deserving punishment, so if God declared judgement today we'd all burn.
So followers of your God have never brought suffering to others? Right
Edit: A little clarification. I said followers because obviously a fictional character couldn't do it themselves

That's a touch presumptuous isnt it? Telling us hat God would and wouldn't do? Bad Christian!

What about the parasitic worm who's only job in life is to eat the eye balls of lambs, blinding them at best and making them die a horrible death at worst?
That isn't 'free will' but the way the worm was 'designed'. And given you don't believe in evolution you must therefore believe God created that creature specifically to inflict pain and suffering in livestock.
Believing in something that isn't backed up by any scientific evidence is not rational.
Not just livestock. Humans too. A trip to poverty stricken areas in Africa will show you parasites boring their way through human children in the same manner.
