Re: atheism?I don't think so.
"Since the very definition of God is almighty, and supposedly wants what's good, then if Nature is God, why hasn't Nature made things good? "
YOU ARE WRONG!! This is YOUR definition of god based on YOUR book of fable! A god doesn't have to be all powerful or perfect!! The fake bible god should be! But he isn't! Therfore he doesn't exist!!
"Then there's the atheistic view of man being God."
No there's not! Atheists don't see themselves as god! Atheists don't beleive in any kind of god! A person who worships him/herself is NOT an atheist! You think just because people don't beleive in your god they are atheists! YOU ARE WRONG!
"So, if you're God, why can't you just snap your fingers, and make it all better?"
Because that's YOUR definition of god! That's what YOUR religion says he should be able to do! But he doesn't! Therefore he is a bad god because he is not doing his best! Of course I'm playing the game when I'm saying that, because I know in real life he DOESN'T EXIST!!
"Or if you don't want to snap your fingers and make it all better, you are no better than the very person(God) you say won't make things better. [Man is not God, sorry]"
Just because I CAN'T doesn't mean I wouldn't want to! I don't have that power, and never claimed that my god had it! We are all free to give the title of god to whatever we want to worship including ourself, and those who chose to do that are absolutely not wrong!!! There are thousands of different religions and they are not more wrong than yours even though they worship something that doesn't exist! At least I chose to worship someone that DOES exist and is doing his best despite his limited power: ME! I have my own rules and moral codes that I follow, not some other stupid rules that were written by power-hungry men (wich I'm sure you don't even follow because you are a HYPOCRITE like all christians)!
Therefore I AM GOD!
"Maybe you could stand to not only read a book, but also the greatest book ever written, the Bible. "
That's an opinion, and there are countless other religious books that are as good or even better... because the bible is full of inconsistencies, lies, and incoherence! Sacred books of other religions are just as good!
And you might even want to try non-fiction!
The bible... in a word... SUCKS!! (and yes I've read most of it!)
