If a passing Mod could move this thread to "That can't be true", it would tidy up the site a bit.

He comes here occasionally, sort of doing the rounds.
Because he is a recognised troll we usually delete his ramblings and ban each new identity. He’ll try again sometime.

And just to answer the question: because nobody likes to be told an uncomfortable truth.

Christianity may teach that not knowing "God" is bad, or that there is "One True God".  Yet there are hundreds of different interpretations of who that "God" actually is.

Christians believe they are "God Fearing", whatever that means.  But, it may lead to a belief that morality can only be derived from God.

Yet, this may lead to a misinterpretation of atheists, or those that don't believe in any god. 

One can derive morality from many sources, including empathy and "do unto others as you'd have others do unto you", which doesn't have to include a belief in any mythical figurehead.

Atheists are also unlikely to believe in an "original sin".  Thus, one can take responsibility for one's shortcomings, and not blame it on the human condition or any deity.

They're sometimes called theothanatologists. The term covers a wide rand of believes concerning a deity that is responsible for the creation of reality and yet has at some point in time ceased existing for whatever reason.

I find the logic rather circular and thus not self consistent.

The Thought is Helpful in providing a conclusion towards self inner peace.

It provides Reasoning as to why almost all prayers go unanswered.

Remaining few that were, was just probability.

So noone is there to help n show mercy n be kind n bless.

Narrows down the Choices.
Either keep Praying, or DIY!

The reason prayers are unanswered is because every prayer is asking the omnisicent and omnipotent creator to reverse his irreproachable decisions that led to the status quo, and is thus blasphemy or lese majeste of the most dangerous kind.

I recall a preacher who praised the Lord for answering his fervent prayer that the Blitz might stop so his sick daughter could die in peace. And lo, as she passed away on 14 November 1940, no bombs fell on London. The Nazis heard the Word of the Lord and bombed Coventry instead.

Be careful what you wish for.
