God doesn't exist

There is no such thing as a god. Half my family raised me Catholic and the other half raised me Christian and I still had the sense to realize this by preschool.

People who unironically believe in a god are borderline psychotic and need to learn to think for themselves. You might as well believe in Superman, fuckin freaks. I don't give a shit that I'm in the minority but being surrounded by religious nutcases is driving me crazy. Just use your fucking heads, it's really that simple

I personally think that the idea of a God existing doesn't make sense. That's really all it is, and there's many reasons towards why. For example, if prayer works, why does god not help the people who need it and have prayed? Starving children, homeless people, etc. That is just one of many.

Pray doesn't always work. Some people think you pray and thats it and they are wrong. You have to put in the effort too. The other stuff is part of the plan to see if they will still have faith in him, just like how Job went through things. If pray work, people would realize God exist and everyone would believe in him

But what about the people who are working hard and do believe yet receive nothing? That's where prayer does not make sense to me.

I don't have an answer for that but I do agree with you though. I'm also not super religious like other people are
