technolgy is no God, but could very well perform any miracle. You might perceive it as a long time, just imagine in the eyes of the immortal and omniscient how short and irrelevant your life span is. A thousand years could very well be 2 seconds. God I'm sure has an infinite number of children pretty sure each is equal in his eyes and he just does not get in involved in internal affairs, stop being small minded

How come the bible is so full of miracles and wonders but God hasn't showed his hand for so long. Either its a conspiracy or he doesn't exist.
Where are the miracles of yesteryear? The walking on water and creating many fish from five. It seems than any miracle produced lately is debunked as a fantasy pretty quickly so one can only conclude god doesn't exist.
Nobody is healed, theres no heave, imagine taking responsibility for yourself instead of invoking some punishment that happens after death if you don't except the god of the bible. Sounds less like the loving god and more like someextortionist mafia protection racket.
CAn anybody show us examples of god? Why cant god heal people to make their limbs grow back or resurrect the dead form the wars invoked by those who wage it in his name.
If this was a court of law your god would be sentecened on charges of fraud.
I never said I believed in a god.. And that was not God to who'm you're referring to. that was Jesus I think

Has it only just dawned on you that the patriarchal god was nothing but a threat to all men to obey the priests and top men who control society?
Miracles have only ever happened in remote places and in very remote times - people just need to start to think for themselves instead of swallowing religion and muttering religious twoddle every time something ghastly happens to them. No its not some God's will, its life.
If you look at the stars in the universe and accept the teaching that some God created all of that - man must appear like some minute speck seen through some God's microscope when that God decides to look at the outer edge of our galaxy.
People should open their eyes and not their egos which they give far too much credit to when concerning the whole concept of Gods and their interests.

God bowed out of interfering in our existance long ago because we are not very nice to each other. Needless to say this occurred long ago and the only "proof" is a story in a religious book.
Classic conspiracy stuff.
In addition when very bad things happen to good people there is the excuse "no one knows Gods purpose". Yet another cop out. Needless to say I do not believe in God but should he magically appear one day I would have nothing but utter contemt for him/her for this reason : Many years ago a child was playing in the sand dunes. The sand dune collapsed and the child died of suffocation. Now that is a horrible way to suffocate as your lungs fill up with sand. The location was unobserved by anybody so God could have intervened and saved the child and nobody would know. Any being with such power that God supposedly has who allows a child in those circumstances to die the way they did as part of some "grand plan" deserves nothing but utter contempt. SO even if God appeared it would two fingers to him/her.
