Here's a question for you 'believers'.


If god exists, why has he/she/it made it soooo hard to believe in him?


He wrote a book of fiction that some of his followers claim as fact and others claim to be symbolic although they never explain how they know that their interpretation is the right one.


He has a description (omnipotent and and omniscient) which is absurd.


He made the devil knowing how he would turn out but apparently he is not responsible for that action.


He made free will and gave it to man in the full knowledge of how that would be used but apparently he is not responsible for that.


Sometimes he moves in ways that christians love to explain but when this is questioned he starts moving in a mysterious way.


Nobody forced god to make the world and if he hadn't there would have been no suffering and so his decision to do it seems monstrous. Especia;;y as most people have lived or are living lives of extreme hardship.


He killed nearly everyone in the world shortly after making them because he didn't approve of their behaviour even though he designed them. Drowning the whole lot except one family.


And drowning all but 2 of every species. What had the animals done wrong?


Why did he design the world so that he would have to commit infanticide to fix it?


You see, when you look at what god has done it is actually a lot easier to believe that if he did exist he is a viscious monster.


And judging by the views of many who believe in him I can see what they are drawn to.
