Most of the bad people ARE the religious people.

Cocopanda@futurology.today 21 hours agoNope. God is a construct of man’s own mortality. Needs to be there to trick bad people to be good.

It’s pretty apparent. Why would a god let his preachers steal from their followers to simply fund their evil life style?

Technically that would be a defense if the god in question was actually as powerful as they say they are or that they are nessisarily good. There is always a possibility that Gods exist but are not on the hook to tell the truth and their goals do not align with humans.
A lying god telling the kids they have magic powers well beyond them and proving it like an uncle playing a dumb trick on the three year olds at a family reunion is a possibility. Maybe God exists and is just kind of an ass?

Then that is a god I care not to know.

I’ve read the Bible. If he’s real, he’s the biggest ass. He’s a petulant, jealous, and tantrum throwing prick. If he’s real, I want both to do with him.

Ever hear people say they don’t trust atheists because without God, they have no moral compass?
Well, I don’t trust people whose only reason to not rape, pillage, and plunder is because they believe in a fairy tale that says they’ll burn in Hell if they submit to their dark fantasies. That’s a person who is inherently bad, but resisting it, and ine day, they may stop resisting. I prefer people who are inherently good, and dont need fear motivation to behave properly in society.
