Hello guys, I am an atheist and I having been reading alot lately, I have been reading into some of the bible also. I am been talking to alot of christians, and I am convinced that I will never be able to worship god because it violates my ethics and morality
I am planning to read the entire bible along with other scriptures and holy texts to see if my views are changed.
So far I have come to the conclusion that god has done more evil deeds than good, the bible and other holy text's are full of implausibilities and contradictions, and I am baffled that so many people can worship god and fully believe what is written in the holy texts to be true.
I am not trying to start a war on the forums!! I am wanting your honest opinion christians because I am really trying to comprehend.
I have a few questions for you christians out there.
If god is a good god and all knowing (he knows everything that is goin to happen) then why does he create hell, the devil and most importantly me? Why would god create me, when he knows that I am going to become an atheist. Does he create me just for fun so he can watch me be tortured in hell for eternity? This does not sound like a good god. Also god created evil,
Ok think of it this way, if you had a child (as Im sure many of you do) am that child were too become a lie to you (a sin punishable by burning in hell for eternity) would you send that child to burn in hell? What about if that same child were to hurt you? Then would you send that child to hell? And god is supposed to be infinitely more compassionate then humans, yet he will send one of his creations to burn in hell for eternity. Now there is the arguement that he will forgive anyone who asks for it. Well pose the same question. If you had a child and it lied to you, would you threaten to send it to hell unless it asked for forgiveness, yet it would not ask for forgiveness. Then would you be able to send it to burn in damnation for all eternity?
If god was truely a loving and compassionate being then he would have never created hell, evil, sickness, death, ect.
No logical, UNBIASED person could look at all of the facts and come to the conclusion that god, if he were to exist, is a good god.
2. Why are certain verses are taught in church, and others are not because they portray god as an evil god. People pick out verses from the bible they like and give no creedence to the others.
For example homosexuality is an abomination, I see good faithful christians yelling hateful remarks to homosexuals about how they are going to hell. Well the bible also says working in saturday, shaving, eating shrimp, and having tatoos are abominations. People want to use the bible as an excuse to spread hate, towards the homosexuals, the jews, and countless other peoples. If all the text in the bible is the word of god, and he never lies, then all the christians who ever ate shrimp, worked on saturday, shaved and have tatoos must repent or thier all loving god is going to condemn them to hell for all eternity
Now if god was all knowing why would he have created man handed down the bible if he knew that people would be killing in his name?
What is your reasons for having faith in this God? And I do not mean to be harsh, please do not say that I am attacking your religion because I am just stating what I have read/ and my opinion. I have talked to a bunch of christians and asked them questions, they always say I am belittling them, I do not like the fact that christians take every logical assumption about their religion as an attack, atleast the ones I know

How can you christians out there believe that he is a good god when he has ordered so many people to their deaths for much menial sins? (violating the laws of hospitality is an example)Isaiah 45:7. “I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create evil. I the lord do all these things”.
