Be real.  How can God's Chosen People lead humanity until they've killed everyone they don't agree with.

And which god would that be?

 

The sky fairy that no one has ever seen. Not that many people pray to him, nobody gas ever seen him, nobody has ever had a reply from him, and he only exists on a 4,xxx year old book, Yet millions of people have died on his name,, and people still believe in this fairy story.

I usually agree with you Bill but...

Christians (~2.3 B) pray to God/Jesus

Muslims (~1.9 B) pray to Allah

Hindus (~1.2 B) pray to various deities like Vishnu or Shiva

Buddhists (~500 M) may pray or meditate to Buddhas/Bodhisattvas depending on tradition

So it’s not “nobody” — billions of people worldwide actively pray.

As for “which God?” — it depends on the religion: Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and others all direct prayer to their own understanding of the divine.

Belief in God isn’t just a story; it’s a lived experience for billions, across cultures and millennia.

Belief in A god is not the same as believing in the one true god. I wonder which one that is.

 

Do you know anybody who has prayed to their god and had a response from that god? I don't. Nor do I know anybody who can actually describe their god. Christians claim he is a white haired old man. Though nobody has met that god. Why should god BE a white haired old man? Why not a young coloured woman? Could it be that that is the way that gods were described in the books that have been written, mostly by priests of that particular god, as they were the only people taught to read and write, by other priests of course.

 

Then you have Freya, who was supposedly a Norse god who was a woman. And there were more female gods in Greek and Roman history, Not that many people worship them as little was written about them and what was written is lost in the mists of time and buried by books written by men.

 

There are hundreds of gods sp why should one very small tribe claim that their god is the one true god?

I suggest you The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

 

The word God has become empty of meaning through thousands of years of misuse. I use it sometimes, but I do so sparingly. By misuse, I mean that people who have never even glimpsed the realm of the sacred, the infinite vastness behind that word, use it with great conviction, as if they knew what they are talking about. Or they argue against it, as if they knew what it is that they are denying. This misuse gives rise to absurd beliefs, assertions, and egoic delusions, such as “My [or our] God is the only true God, and your God is false,” or Nietzsche’s famous statement “God is dead.”

The word God has become a closed concept. The moment the word is uttered, a mental image is created, no longer, perhaps, of an old man with a white beard, but still a mental representation of someone or something outside you, and, yes, almost inevitably a male someone or something.

Neither God nor Being nor any other word can define or explain the ineffable reality behind the word, so the only important question is whether the word is a help or a hindrance in enabling you to experience that toward which it points. Does it point beyond itself to that transcendental reality, or does it lend itself too easily to becoming no more than an idea in your head that you believe in, a mental idol?

The word Being explains nothing, but neither does God. Being, however, has the advantage in that it is an open concept. It does not reduce the infinite invisible to a finite entity. It is impossible to form a mental image of it. Nobody can claim exclusive possession of Being. It is your very essence, and it is immediately accessible to you as the feeling of your own presence, the realization I am that is prior to “I am this” or “I am that.” So it is only a small step from the word Being to the experience of Being.

There is no "God" if there is , please provide some proof.

 

There is no need for me to provide proof, as nobody can prove there is a God, Supreme Being, etc, etc.

From above post.

 

Or they argue against it, as if they knew what it is that they are denying.

 

I've never understood why atheists get so upset about something they don't understand.

 

U.S. Intel Probed Allegations of Israel Using Palestinians as Human Shields in Gaza

 

U.S. intelligence gathered late last year revealed that Israeli officials discussed sending Palestinians into Gaza tunnels believed to be rigged with explosives.

Using civilians as human shields is a war crime.
