If You really are an Atheist. Why do you still cry out to God when times get tough?

When your loved one is dying and no medicine can heal them.

You beg God.

yet.......Claiming there is no God..?

Not all atheists do, I can assure you.

And those who do, for the same reason why theists curse against it when they're angry, i.e. there's nothing useful you extrapolate from the behaviour of a person in a highly emotional and possibly irrational state.

@Wearelivinginamadworld Very constructive and detailed reply, thank you, lol

Wearelivinginamadworld

lol , sorry I was in a debate that went awful. Hey just because I put this post up doesn't mean I don't respect peoples opinions. Atheist or not, God is not a favour of man. He loves you to pieces x.
Sorry for the blunt reply is wasn't personal. @Elessar

@Wearelivinginamadworld It's fine, I was in a silly mood and still partially numbed down by lack of sleep hours, I can barely remember answering this.

I see it/him as a construct of human intellect, not exempt from design faults (the epicurean paradox, for instance). I find rather odd that someone who designed a world populated by creatures who have to brutally kill one another for their survival was moved by "love" for said creatures.

Hey no worries, it really is Ok .

I believe this is a start. Most people who call on Jesus grip to this piece of scripture

Also have a quick meditation in the Holy Spirit this week and I will pray daily for you

Hope this explains a few things. Going to work now, but will chat later if you want

John 3 vs16-21

16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

17 - For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

Blessings and hope to speak later x @Elessar
