I know it, and I even use it myself in everyday life. So?

I'm not trying to blame you for not believing or anything like that. We're just discussing, that's all. I'm trying to say that various things can exist or not exist, regardless of them being proven or not. Even not being proven, God still can exist. As well as there are various things in the past that were once proven, but didn't actually exist and later were deemed as mistakes or misunderstandings or some other phenomena.

So absence of evidence is the evidence of absence, did I get it right?

Okay. And, he doesn't exist because of... Why? What makes you think that?

I've already said it below, but I'll say it again:

Please love yourself. You are wonderful even beside you doing anything. If you're feeling guilty, then you should try to do something good to redeem it.

Well, I hope you did read The Bible by yourself to make these statements, rather than leaning only on Dawkins, who seems to seek for reasons to be an atheist. I also hope you did understand the context of what is written in Bible, relating to people's norms, God's treatment of those norms, history of nations, prophecies, etc. Besides, the same “Old Testament” God had sent His Son to the Earth to save humanity, rendering The New Testament and the doctrine of forgiveness, love, friendship, and being the better human being.

Did God instruct people to hate each other? Did He say "kill, murder, hate everyone, and destroy the world" or something like that? I thought He said the complete opposite. Like, love each other, don't kill, don't steal, don't bear false witness, don't be envious, etc. What's so bad about all of it?

Also, we're talking about God, but you said "Gods". Why's that? What do you have against other gods or gods in general?

The same for you. Please be well, my friend.

Injustice. Heartlessness. Violence. “Utopia justifies any means” worldview. Schizophrenia, paranoia, and other mental disorders. Traumatising pain. Misunderstandings. Nazism. Racism. Sadism. Masochism. Bullying. People turning into monsters in moral sense. Politicians turning into monsters in moral sense (a subpart of the above, but I thought I should specify it). Treachery. Thievery. Murders. War. True evil. Sinfulness. Original Sin.

You saying that makes me think you either have never met true compassion or doubted every example of it whenever you did. Either way, it makes me regret your worldview. I hope you meet true compassion someday, the one which you'll not be able to doubt. Love and peace to you.

Same as above.

Please love yourself. You are wonderful even beside you doing anything. If you're feeling guilty, then you should try to do something good to redeem it.
