Why has God made me an atheist?

2016-02-08 11:31 am
I am from England, my parents are atheists and I wasn't baptised, I've been brought up to thing logically about all aspects of life and am intrigued by science and the universe, I haven't even come close to believing in a god (Nor would I know which one to pick). So why would a god put me at such a disadvantage in life? More so if I was born in Pakistan as a Muslim to find upon death that the Christian god is the "right one".

I am amazed that people of a religion don't question this themselves, or perhaps they don't see us as real people, more as distractions placed by god to test their belief.

You say." I don't believe in God." ,"So why would a god put me at such a disadvantage in life?"

You are no atheist....You wouldn't qualify...
You are closer to a babbling idiot....

It seems very unlikely that a god exists who only rewards those gullible enough to believe in extraordinary tales based merely on anecdotes.

Ffs people, he asked why WOULD a god, not why DID a god...

If you do think logically, you know that life has no real purpose, no real meaning, no real worth without a Creator. That's because purpose, meaning and worth imply an overarching design or plan. I could draw a picture of a hundred dollar bill but unlike a real hundred dollar bill, it doesn't enjoy all of the infrastructure (banks, credit card, etc. etc.) that go along with the real money. The only purpose for making up a pretend purpose is to alleviate the ache inside of us that comes from not having a real purpose.

I know a faithful Christian at church who was a former atheist. He was raised in an atheist family. Of course, they never went to church. Like his parents, he did not believe in God. God wasn't even on his radar. Later in his 20s he met someone who talked to him about God and eventually he became a Christian.

Your idea of God "making you an atheist" doesn't hold any water. God doesn't make anyone anything. Everyone has free will to love or reject God.

If one diligently seeks out God, God responds (Heb 11:6; Jas 4:8). There are no "disadvantages" he cannot overcome.

And you are wrong about those raised in Christian households who become Christians themselves not questioning things (although I'll grant you that many don't). Here is a typical question we ask. Looking at the picture below, how could anyone think that the 200-atom molecule on the left was created in the lab after 25 years of painstaking research, but then believe the 5-million atom molecule on the right came about from purely accidental random forces of nature?

I used to share an office 1 day a week with a lady who was brought up as an atheist. She was university educated and started off in her chosen career, not ever thinking about God or religion, until one day an incredible thing happened. Out of the blue, God made Himself known to her - in her thinking. He 'broke through' with a revelation of Himself that staggered her to her core. She was entirely compis mentis when it happened - she had not been on drugs. It was just a quiet but powerful intellectual awareness that neither she nor any other person had initiated. She became a Christian. She knew God was also calling her to change her career and she obeyed that direction. It wasn't what she wanted to do, but she retrained, started practicing. Oh, and she married an Episcopal priest. Lovely young woman.

If God wants to get your attention, He will. If you want to get God's attention, just pray and ask Him to make Himself known to you. I'm not promising an experience such as that lady had! God treats us all as individuals, and one person's experience of God is different to another's experience. But if you are sincere, your prayer will be answered, at the right time, and in God's way.

Why has God made me an atheist? NATO will nuke Ukraine to blame Russia for it; then NATO will nuke Russia from Scandinavia. China will attack Russia; but will not get past Ural Mountains. Russia will destroy Turkey and America. China will have a hole across the whole country to the abyss. Only Eurasia and Alaska (both without coasts) will remain after demons blow up Antarctica (which surrounds the flat earth) and Greenland melts. Move to Ural Mountains or inland Alaska. Sionists want war between Russia and Germany over Serbia from June to October on their holidays because (666 times 3)+(6 times 3) = 2016 (in their twisted logic).
Tube people = demons. Clones = demons. Human costumes that demons wear = demons. Dinosaurs and 666ed people have triple stranded DNA; normal person can't swallow 666ed food (designed for 666ed people). Demons live inside clones. Bacteriologist Alexandre Yersin (who discovered Bubonic plague) is depicted on the Shroud of Turin. There is another shroud on which blasphemer Yosef (who was crucified on a pole in 1066 AD) is depicted. Menachem Mendel Schneerson, Lenin (el=deity in Hebrew, nine = no in German; so, when chanted repeatedly is blasphemy against the Creator), and Yosef were possessed by Azazel; now, Rico Cortes is possessed by Azazel.
WW3 happens; 7% of people will be left; after people are tired of war, they will elect the antichrist as one world leader; don't vote. ISIS stands for Israeli Secret Intelligence Service. Next false flag: Statue of Liberty in order to attack Iran. Move away from coasts as nukes will go off in the ocean (at where tectonic plates meet; result: megatsunamis 1km high).
Wear natural clothing so that if a bomb goes off it won't stick to the body as fast as synthetic clothes. All metal will be burned for fuel; so, save knives, crowbars, shovels, wood-burning stoves, etc. Also, save cloth/fabric/textile to cover the wounds and diseases.
Eat natural food because nanochips, cells of aborted fetuses, bug DNA, and other poisons are in food that is commonly sold. Seraphim of Sarov and Sergiy of Radonezh will be resurrecred after WW3 for a short time; Seraphim of Sarov will show the new Ruski Tsar who will fight the antichrist for about 2 years and 8-10 months.
Earth is flat; stands on 3 pillars (the Most Holy Trinity); pillars stand on water at zero Kelvin. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Sleep fully clothed; pray the Jesus prayer. Pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep.
Humans were created about 7525 years ago. Ruski Orthodox Christian Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Enoch and Elijah return to preach against the antichrist.
Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level. They will get out through sinkholes and lakes. To kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia.
Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer.

Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)Moon 2)Inside fake mountain Kailash in Tibet 3)In lake Baikal in Russia 4)In Atlantis which is underneath the Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets.
Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old. He flies. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He's surrounded by demons who appear as angels of light.

Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Green 666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (World Passport). Police will microchip and isotope ray people on the highways. Microchipped people will be influenced by computers to take grey plastic card; but when they do, 666 is given. Food stores will isotope ray people too. Antichrist will also release prisoners to mark people. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell.
If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from temporary hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from temporary hell. Forgive me.

I sense some kind of confusion here, in that an atheist does not believe that god exists, Therefore how can something that does not exist make you an atheist.

-- Why has God made me an atheist? --
this statement makes no sense to me. No one is stopping you from being a christian.

i am glad you are Q these things.
Jeremiah 1.5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

STUDY this verse. What does it reveal to us about ourselves ?

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee
God knows the kind of man jeremiah would be even BEFORE jeremiah was formed !

-- why would a god put me at such a disadvantage in life? --
so its not a Q of disadvantaged or advantaged ... as you argue.
its more like what we CHOOSE to be
eg. jeremiah leans towards holiness, so God picks him to serve Him as His prophet ... it is not luck.
Can you SEE this .

-- More so if I was born in Pakistan as a Muslim --
the verse above proves to me that this is not a disadvantage.
there are many muslims who have come to accept Jesus who reach out to them thru dreams.
basically, it boils down to ... what we are, who we choose to be ...

you are given a choice ... like anyone else on earth.
Jesus is God. Fact.
peace

Not God who made you an atheist my friends, you can change whenever you want to if you like. Thanks to your parents who is atheist that makes you today. But my friends, we suppose not to blame them what happen to us right now even we like it or not. They has do the jobs to raise you well like God ask before. Yeah they didn't believe in God but still following what God ordered them to do. So yeah it is up to you if you want to be like them or you want to be a person who realize the truth is. It is all in your hands my friends. :)

God will hold you accountable for your own decisions.

You aren't at any more of a disadvantage than many of the rest of us. ... I was not raised in a Church going family. However, when I was old enough to walk across town by myself, I decide to go to a Church and find out about "God."

I went to a Baptist Church simply because some of my friends went there. ... I went for a few years and decided that they weren't teaching what was actually written in my Bible , so I quit going.

I tried a number of other Churches through the years, but always had the same feeling, that they really weren't teaching what the Bible said. ... I finally just quit looking.

Fast-forward about 15 years. One day Jehovah's Witnesses came to my door and before I could say my usual: "I'm not interested." they said something that DID interest me.

That was in 1969. I have been a Baptized, Dedicate Witness since 1971.

No, we see you as very foolish for making any choice without having the facts concerning the matter. God spent 1600 years having the bible written so you could know all about Him and His plans for you. He is not gong to make you read it. He gave you a brain. If you chose not to use it, that's your business.
2016-02-08 12:03 pm
For those saying I can't be an atheist because I say "why would a god put me at a disadvantage?" I thought it was obvious I was speaking from the religious persons point of view.

If I give him the wool, would god make me a lesbian?
2016-02-08 11:38 am
If you ask such a question, then you cannot be an atheist. Don't pretend that you are.
