The arguement that atheists often use to debunk the possible existence of a God is the issue of evil. Basically if God is omnipotent, why does evil still exist?
The counterargument thiests usually answer bask with is "God gave us free will, so there has to be evil"
This is flawed, actually both arguments are flawed. If God it omnipotent as the bible and many other religious scriptures claim, then he can mold the fabric of the universe in anyway he wishes. God could give us free will, and still make humans better people by default no? It doesn't make sense to me, to let innocent animals and beings which are defenseless suffer all for "free will" (at mass mind you) but see this is why I also disagree with the athiests. Sure religious manuscripts depict a kind and all loving, all knowing God, but what if God wasn't all knowing? What if he wasn't all loving? What If God is just a creator and nothing more, or perhaps just an uninterested party? This is the most likely option to me if God is real. God in a religious sense is certainly not real, and if he is I certainly don't like him, and I don't want to worship him.
That brings us onto another issue, why the fuck would an all powerful God give a shit about our worship?
