Why Do Some Claim This World Came To Being By Evolution And Blame God For Its Troubles?
[media=https://youtu.be/EHm6XlDPLOk]
It doesn't make sense. Some claim that God doesn't live and yet, they blame Him for human sufferings all over the world. They also claim that human suffering is wrong and it's immoral to let it go on. How do they know what is right and what is wrong without a basis to go by?
On these ten commandments hang the laws of men. God's commandments are the basis for what is right and what is wrong, for what is moral and for what is Immoral. Without them, that knowledge would be lost.
30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ [d]This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30 & 31
If we had follow these two commandments to the letter, this would indeed to be a perfect world to live in. Since this is not the case, we have a greater hope for a new heavens and a new earth to live in through Jesus Christ by His Holy Spirit. God Himself will be our God and we will be His beloved children. This is what those, who are being saved, look forward to.

The outspoken unbeliever isn't reacting to a god they don't believe exists, they are reacting to a sort of theocratic insistence, especially when morally, socially or politically incentivized. In occidental cultures this objection is predicated upon, not the god of the theists in question but rather the misrepresentation of that god by the theists. Were the Bible not so poorly represented by socio-politically motivated hypocrites they would object to it no more than they would any secular or even religious texts.
The solution for a better understanding between the two ideologies would be for them to more carefully examine the opposing ideology, theology, and sociopolitical motivation. There needn't be any opposition if that could successfully be implemented simply because it isn't the place of the theist to impose their ideology either socially or politically.
I have absolute faith in Jehovah God, but I have very little faith in mankind. Aside from the ideological difference inherent in my belief paradigm, that is, our difference of opinion regarding the existence of Jehovah God, the atheists are in the right because their objection is to the very real and concrete effects of apostasy in their world, and their lives.
Put simply the atheist see God through the misrepresentation of ignorant apostate Christianity. No wonder they reject the God concept.
