I Am An Atheist

I grew up in an odd household & didn’t have much of a childhood but, we were religious. I’m became an atheist as I grew older cause I always had the feeling there was something off about God & the story of Jesus. We didn’t see any of that happen so, how could we be so damn sure of it. But, the thing that made me really believe that there is no God is the amount of war, homelessness, hunger & everything else going on in our world. I have other, personal reasons that I won’t share but, my point is that if this perfect person, this guy that spreads love all over the world, heals the wounded & sick is here, than why is there tragedy all over the place?

The Problem of Evil, as it's called. From a certain perspective... I can buy an omnibenevolent god allowing evil to exist, but what gets me every time is how many people have committed attrocities under the false impression that they were doing God's will. Countless Jews, Pagans, natives peoples murdered under the belief that it was what God wanted, and no commentary from the peanut gallery.
