@GodSpeed63 There are countless stories in the Bible that show that the God character is pure evil.

Can you explain why you believe in an ancient ethnocentric Middle Eastern Jewish religious fairytale?
Does the word "Bible" give it extra credibilty?
God is not a character in a story, He's the one true God who lives forever. He is love, righteous, all knowing, all powerful, and just. He has to administer justice on the evils of men.

It's the Truth and not a fairy tale.

If your god created everything, then it created sin ,evil ,pain torment and misery. Akso what if a person believes in a different God, but still has all those qualities or believes in no God at all ?

@kodiac My poor friend. I know what you have gone through. I am so sorry!!! I know you are in pain. God created humans, and He gave them the GIFT of free choice.
He did not want to control his children because He knew it would be impossible for them to learn or grow up if they were simply puppets. It is the CHOICES made by humans which become sin, evil, torment, and misery. Even inflicting pain is a human thing...although pain through disease is not.
And so we have our world, where people CHOOSE to ignore all the good advice given us in the Ten Commandments. Those are the people who inflict harm, and who create evil. That same evil of which you were the victim.
I think the question of many, many religions and belief systems becomes a question of...do ALL paths lead to the top of the mountain? Do ALL our choices lead to the divine if we obey the laws of our various religions? It would take a greater scholar than I to answer that question.

Where do their morals come from? What is the source of morality?
Atheists behave morally without expectation of any reward. They do good just for the sake of going good.

@GodSpeed63 For thousands of years humans have gradually developed codes of morality and laws. This process is on-going. Systems of morality sometimes came from religion, sometimes from secular institutions. What constitutes right behavior has been a part of philosophy since ancient times.

@SomeMichGuy I know I have no idea how one could call themselves a Christ follower and vote for a President like Joe Biden that was so sad. Think you for bringing that to light!!!

@houseonfire Biden was a prayerful, believing, practicimg Catholic for years before becoming President, and evinced various aspects of Jesus' Person and Character.
DJT has never shown any sign of true belief, having ZERO "fruits of the Spirit" and in NO fashion exhibits the Person or Character of Jesus. He tried to SELL Bibles--he uses them as props and income.
