    Its not based on other people's beliefs (which is exactly what all religions are). It is based on simple reasoning. If You have no proof (evidence) to believe x, then you should not believe x.

    The fact that you say there is a bigger plan removes any chance of free will. You are just a cog in the machine that has no choice in which way to turn.

    Incest

    Is it your assertion that god allowed incest back then because he didnt make enough people?? As for Jesus, his only mention of sex is in regards to adultery (Matthew 19:9). He says nothing of sex being wrong if both of you are single. If he does please show me coz im unaware. And those...

    This is demonstrably wrong. We have weather and climate forecasts. And you example still doesn't apply. If your god knows the future, he know im going to steal or destroy today or in the future. He apparently knew exactlt what i'd do before i was born. Meaning i was on this path before i knew...

    And since i cant prove it, it should not be believed right?

    Incest

    I dont think Jesus said anything against incest and you can correct me if Im wrong. But the book your religion is based on is rife with it: Gen 20:12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father though not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife. Gen 19: 30-38 So he...

    What belief is that? The atheist position only speaks to a belief in a god. I can be an atheist that believes an elf created the cosmos and died.

    If your God is omniscient and he knows everything you will do before you do it, his will or not, then you do not have free will since your actions are clearly predestined. The other option is that you have free will but he does know what actions you would take, meaning he is not all knowing.

    There is no missing link. The missing link is a term used by people who dont subscribe to evolution and mainly because of that very common image of a chimp->neanderthal-->man walking. But in any case, even if evolution was proven to completely wrong/false, it does not make the story of...

    I was a believer. Got "saved" too. There were always doubt though. Then i thought long and hard about why i believed and realised there was no reason i had besides faith. And faith is not a good reason because you can hold any position based on faith. For the most part you are correct. So the...

    If you cannot prove something exists why would you believe it does? You cant prove unicorns dont exist but yet you withold belief that they do. Why not the same of a god? As for your second point to make sense, you would have to choose the right god and live in a manner that is pleasing to him...

    Follow the convo and see how the prayer makes no difference. But simply, there ultimately 2 diverging paths here each with its own two paths. And assume you have done what preparations you can: Path 1: there is a god and his plan is for you to fail Sub-path a: You pray to pass, but you fail...

    Then the ideology is pointless. Its all useless if you can see that you petitions arent: 1. Not going to alter the course of "the plan" or; 2. There is no one listening.

    If you remove asking or thinking of God's will in either of those situations what is the net effect? Wont things just happen (or not happen) the way they will happen irrespective of your concerns? That zero net effect is prayer!

    If God's will is for you to fail that exam, would you really be happy with the results? Remember, the claim is that God has a plan for you, knows every decision you will ever make and his will shall be done. Meaning that every misfortune that you will encounter is of his doing alone. Your...

    The point still stands. What your want may not align with his will. And if his will is going to be done regardless, what use is your prayer?

    Prayer makes zero sense. Supposedly God has a plan, if your prayers are in line with that plan e.g to pass the exam and God had planned so, then it will happen. If God's plan was for you to fail the exam and you pray to pass, you are going to fail. Unless you now would claim that he changed...
