#God of Abraham

Sorry for taking so long to respond, I just saw this.

I don't make the claim that there is no general god, I simply have not seen good enough evidence to believe one exists, so I don't believe because the time to believe something is after it's been shown to at least more likely than not to exist.

There very well cold be a general god out there, but until I have good evidence I can't believe it.

Now, since you capitalized the word "God" I assume you're talking about the god as described in the Bible.

And I'm 98% sure that that god doesn't exist, because

a) the attributes given to him are paradoxical (can he create a rock so heavy even he can't lift it? Whichever way you answer he's not all-powerful)

b) The Problem of Evil (basically, a triomni god is not possible in the world we live in)

Which god were you talking about and what are their attributes? Perhaps I can give you a better answer if you clarify.

I'm always willing to change my mind, though. I'm perfectly fine with being proven wrong and changing my views.

Hi @questions-for-christians,

Since you (and presumably your followers) are interested in asking questions, consider this a friendly open invitation to you and them to ask me any questions about 

atheism

the atheist perspective to any issue/question

what it’s like to be an atheist

why I’m an atheist

ethics from an atheist perspective

resources regarding atheism/atheist culture (e.g. books about atheism/atheist perspectives, atheist YouTube channels that might be of interest, a couple call-in web shows that prefer theist callers to debate and discuss things with, etc)

resources and/or info regarding religion/religious history/religious mythologies

resources/info about comparative religion

and so on if/when y’all think of anything. ^_^

So long as it’s done politely and in good faith (pun intended) I’m open to questions that y’all have but worry might come off as offensive. 

——————

Oh, and if you have any ESL followers I can provide resources as well as answer back in Portuguese and Spanish, and I can understand French, Italian, and Galician well enough to try to find resources in those languages but not to reply (so if anyone wanted to ASK in those languages I’d be able to understand but the reply would have to be in one of the languages I’m fluent in).

Oh, and feel free to extend the invitation to any other atheist-friendly religious blogs you’re friends with. :)

P.S. to any of my own followers who are theists: This invitation is also absolutely open to you!

"God fearing?" No. Fuck that shit.

I'm god loving, god admiring, god praising. Kthxbye.

Dear theists,

Quoting a holy book at atheists as if it were evidence of something and expecting us to take it as seriously as you makes as much sense as me going "Well, Captain Kirk from Star Trek said 'We have no need of gods'!" and expecting you to be like "Well, if Kirk said it, it must be true! Darn!".

Lord, grant me the strength to throw away this box that i'll never use, the courage to throw away this box that i'll never use, and the wisdom to throw away this box that i'll never use

Hear The Word of The Lord Spoken to THIS Generation!

For the sword has come, and under God shall you be placed once again! Yet not as at the first when you blessed My name, no, not as at the first, but in subjection, in retribution, in the shadow of My judgment! - Under God, My footstool! Then you will know, I AM THE LORD!

O mighty and perverse nation, cease from Your adulteries and return to Me!...

For I had blessed you, I had bestowed upon You great abundance, yet you have perverted Your way, desecrating all I have given you, Hardening your hearts, forsaking the poor, Turning your faces away from the afflicted!...

You have become a harlot, an adulterous woman Who perverts her way among many lovers!...

Return to Me! Says The Lord.

Them Crushing on their Opponent's S/O

Characters: Beelzebub, Apollo, Thor, and Poseidon Inspired By: Idk... random thought I guess? A/N: Apologies for not posting anything in a while, I have been trying to get everything set up for the next few days (I have a dog-sitting job lined up here soon and school starting has been making it a little more stressful) but I do hope this was worth the wait for you guys! ⚠️ Spoilers/Trigger Warnings for: Swearing, mentions of fighting, world-wide destruction, mass death (implied), and implied wish to kill another, attempting homewrecker Apollo + implied yandere behavior on each (not bad on Beel and Thor's, worse on Apollo, and horrible on Poseidon's) ⚠️

╚═════ Beelzebub ═════════════════════════════╝

🪰 Beelzebub was not excited for his fight. He just wanted to get this over with as fast as possible so he could get back to doing his own things

🪰 He watched as Nikola stepped out and into the ring, and he noticed how the human looked back at the other inventors. But he was looking at someone specific, at a human that stood alongside the Valkyrie sisters above

🪰 You smiled gently and waved at your husband, your short-sleeved dress moving alongside your shoulders while the rest of your dress accented your frame in amazing ways, much to the amazement of some deities and humans, and in most to the amazement of the two fighters below

"Kick his ass, Nik'!" You yelled.

🪰 Nikola chuckled as you cheered, the youngest sister jumping alongside you. You were such a flamboyant woman back during your lives, and it was hard getting used to life without you when you passed, and it was amazing when you both joined hands again

🪰 Beelzebub saw how much you adored your husband and just scoffed, trying to push the odd feeling of butterflies in his stomach away with the flush on his face

🪰 When this fight ended with a God's victory, the Lord of the Flies needed to find a way to speak to you...

╚═════ Apollo ════════════════════════════════╝

☀️ Leonidas was ready for his fight, after all, he was going against the man he blamed for the deaths of not only his and his men's lives, but the death of his wife via the domino affect

☀️ You were so saddened when he passed that after your son, Pleistarchus, finally aged up and began his rule, you decided to finally end your life, much to your people's despair

☀️ As your husband looked back at you, you smiled and hugged him, wishing him luck. You the heard an eruption of applause, making you look up while Leonidas scowled silently

☀️ Standing before you both was a youthful-looking god, specifically Apollo, the Greek God of the Sun and Music. Much like the others close to Leonidas, you knew how much he despised this guy and how much he blamed him for the deaths of his men, himself, and in result you

☀️ The God of the Sun looked around and winked at his nymphs in the audience, which caused you to roll your eyes and kiss your husband's arm before leaving him to enter his fight

☀️ It was when you finally made it up to where Brunhilde and Göll were that the fight was about to begin. You could see that the two males were speaking, or rather Apollo was speaking to the King of Sparta standing before him

"You know I always wondered what my opponent looked like, wondered if you truly were just a brute, but..." He looked in your direction, causing you to flinch slightly.

☀️ Apollo smirked as your long blue sleeved moved and how your traditional Greek dress hugged you. It accentuated your chest perfectly and allowed your perfect skin to shimmer in the light that Apollo controlled. Not that man you called yours

"I must admit, you found the most gorgeous ray of life I have ever seen. And I'm a well-sought-after god."

"Shut your fucking trap and fight me like the powerful man you claim to be." Leonidas said, readying his weapon.

"Simmer down there, Leonidas! I meant nothing offensive towards your beautiful wife up there." He said as he winked at you, much to everyone's annoyances. "I just merely wanted to commend you on your taste. Maybe after my victory I can take that flower out for a walk? Yes, that sound delightful."

"Kick that motherfucker in the balls for me, honey!" You screamed.

"Planning on it."

"Well then, I guess we can begin our fight. Now... let's dance, your majesty."

╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗

╚═════ Thor ═════════════════════════════════╝

🌩️ Lu Bu was against leaving you alone in this afterlife. He died in front of you long ago and he didn't plan on doing it again. And if you had any say in what Brunhilde decided for this fight, you would've made he pick another warlord

🌩️ But, fate was cruel and it always landed you both in extremely tight spaces. It cursed you with the arranged marriage to a man you despised while Lu Bu's gave him the strength nobody else could match, leaving him alone for many years

🌩️ Thankfully, your fiance was stupid enough to get himself crossing paths with the rough-man, landing him six-feet-under. It was only after that day that you finally found the man you loved, to which you married and, while not having any biological children, you treated all of your shared subordinates with the love of a mother

🌩️ As the fight began, you shivered. Raising your hands, you gripped your upper sleeves, causing Chen Gong to look at you and wrap an arm around your shoulder, attempting to comfort you while your husband readied himself against the notorious God of Thunder

"Human. Why do you intend to beat me?" Thor asked.

"My wife and soldiers have faith in me, though I don't expect an arrogant monster such as a god to understand that. So why bother?"

🌩️ Thor cocked an eyebrow slightly as he looked over at the many soldiers that Lu Bu led, he gazed over them all before settling on you. You were the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes upon in eons

🌩️ You looked at Lu Bu with worry and determination in your eyes. It almost made Thor... jealous. But why would he, an all-powerful being such as himself, be jealous of some mortal's luck with picking a spouse?

🌩️ Eventually you felt Thor's gaze on you, making you stare into his yellow-colored irises. He blinked as you shifted slightly in your hanfu, which only made Chen wrap his arm tighter around you, determined to keep you at-bay

🌩️ Thor looked back at your husband before sighing and starting the walk that would mark the start of Ragnarok. He glanced back at you, only to see you focused, watching Lu Bu with both love and hope despite your furrowed eyebrows

🌩️ And while they began their fight, there was one thing plaguing Thor's thoughts; why did he wish for you to look at him in that way?

╚═════ Poseidon ══════════════════════════════╝

🔱 As a god of few words and one that showed far to much pride for even his own brothers to handle, Poseidon was the opposite of your husband. And you hated that

🔱 Your husband was none other than Sasaki Kojiro, History's Greatest Loser. And as you were close to a couple immortals such as Buddha and Brunhilde, you knew just how dangerous the God of the Seas could be. And it made you concerned for your husband's outcome in this battle

🔱 Sasaki looked back at you as he raised his now-broken sword, and he could tell by the subtle look that you were beyond pissed. And that was the thing he loved most about you, your fieriness

"Why you arrogant bastard! How much of a fucking asshole do you have to be to not even blink an eye at killing such a magnificent man?! Why if I was down there, I'd smack the ever-loving shit out of you!"

🔱 Poseidon was internally shook at hearing a mortal woman yell at him. Every time any human tried voicing their opinions to him, his mere glace would shut them up. But not this human. This one was different

🔱 Looking up slightly, he saw you standing with the other supporters of your husband. One of the males, Musashi Miyamoto, was holding one of your arms to keep you from jumping down and attacking the god with your bare hands while his son, Iori, was watching in shock at how strong you were

🔱 The one thing that Poseidon noticed other than your attitude was how you moved. You moved so delicately and swiftly despite your fury, and it was, dare he think, alluring. It was almost like you were an embodiment of the silkiness of a piece of the softest fabric ever

🔱 You raised your fist and slammed it on the nearby seat, causing Iori to jump and your elderly-appearing husband to chuckle. Poseidon merely watched stoically as you screamed once again

"You win this match and show Humanity just how amazing your old-ass is, Kojiro!"

"Alright, sweetheart. I understand what I must do." He replied, a chill-smile on his face while yours portrayed pure hatred towards his opponent.

🔱 The God of the Seas then saw you lower your fist back down as Musashi had his son wrap it up, as it was bleeding from the impact of cement and your fragile-hand. He saw your hanfu, it looked very blue, like the seas he ruled over for centuries

🔱 After this fight was over with his winning and a step closer to the destruction of those pesky worms down on Earth, Poseidon was going to need to pay you a visit. Maybe said visit will lead to something else? But, for now, getting rid of this hunk of waste was the first step to said future

Also there's a recipe for an abortion potion in the Bible. If a husband thinks his pregnant wife cheated on him he can have her be forced to take it and if she "miscarries" she's guilty, meaning God aborted the baby.

And let's not forget when God killed every baby on Earth by drowning.

And when he killed millions of Egyptian babies.

Van helsing telling Lucy about how jack is terrible with women is so much funnier given the fact that in the last few entries jack keeps bringing up feeling a little awkward around Lucy because of the proposal.

Like man he was already feeling insecure about his ability to get bitches and then you just dragged him through the mud. He has no wives or daughter. Too busy hanging around elderly insane men all day. But even those old crazies go home to their loving families at the end of the day. Not ol’ jack. Virgin
