Waton - You are describing a deist god.
A cursory glance at the unnecessary suffering he caused condemns him as a moral monster.
Zeb - the 'no atheists in a foxhole' trope is demonstrably untrue. Many atheists face death with dignity and clarity.
i'm an atheist as i do not see any evidence for the existance of a god.
i encourage critical thinking in everyone and am ready to debate anyone on whether or not there is a god and what that god might be like.

Itโs the ultimate God of the universe I think most are interested in - SBF
So the question is whether an unknown and unknowable god exists.
A 'god' that doesn't communicate, didn't create, doesn't interfere in life in any way, doesn't answer prayer, didn't inspire any holy books, doesn't provide any moral guidance, doesn't provide any direction for living or hope for the future.
How exactly is this not identical to a god who doesn't exist?

Sorry I don't understand your comment.
You asked how atheists explain the need for humans to believe in a god. Did you read my reply?
Did you find it helpful? Do you have any questions about it?

According to YouTube the smartest man in the world says there is a God and heaven.
Isaac Newton had one of the highest IQs in human history and he was a complete dumbass when he indulged in god-talk.

You are describing a god who is identical in every practical way to a god that does not exist.
Pure sophistry.

I agree Redvip2000 however I would go a step further.
When somebody asks whether god exists I think it is a mistake to even attempt to answer the question.
FIRST the person asking the question should be obliged to define 'god'. Taken one god at a time we can state positively that he does not exist.
bible contains too much human thinking presented as though from god, thus much of its information brings dishonor to god.. yet it contains great beneficial truths behind the symbols it uses.
let us take the only two cases of miracles jesus performed without any request from anybody which would show the very purpose of his ministry:.
1) jesus healed a woman who โwas bent over and could not straighten up at all.โ (luke 13:11-13).
You read the bible like it's a box of fortune cookies.
christians look to jesus as the redeeemer of mankind.. jw's look to jesus as the executioner of mankind!.
Christians donโt have to have a recovery forum?
Actually there are loads of them. Evangelical christianity is a dangerous cult.
