Pretend as if god suddenly gave up on humanity, and decided to abandon it completely and leave it for it´s own destiny.
How do you imagine a world without god?

The world wouldn't be in existence if god would've destroyed it not when he simply abandon us, now god has done that in the bible, abandoning the world and the hebrews , now I want you to imagine that he abandons the world now, how will the world look like?Well I ca't really do that because Its in my belief the world wouldn't be in existence without God. and since he has a plan and I know what part of that plan is. it won't happen

Tight Like Amy: I did say theists only.
If God is everywhere, he can't leave anywhere.

Now, I suppose you meant contradiction?
I don't know. I'm atheist because I think that religion imposes too many restrictions, too many bad/stupid things have been done on the basis of religion, and I generally want to seek the truth however horrifying it might be.
like, no offense, but it's like, really hard to like, take this thread seriously when like, you misspelled the word "atheist" in like, the title, and like, your opening post
don't worry, though, like, i got your back

[...] and while I don't exactly call myself Atheist, I don't believe in any particular religion or faith. I don't know if God exits or not, and when dealing with life, it really doesn't matter. However, I don't believe any of the religions of the world are correct. Most likely, I don't think there is a God, at least not in the sense that humans try to make him/her/it/them out to be.
Quoting a relevant post:
I see the Bible (and religion, as a whole) as an attempt by people of (mostly) ancient times to understand the scary, bleak world they lived in (and to a lesser, but still noticeable, the world of today is still such) of which they knew very little about. While it's clear to me that even in this day and age we still have much to learn and much progress to make, we've come a long way since then and we know better now.
Trying to live your life based on archaic, thousand year old tomes that are so vague at times that reaching the original message with any certainty doesn't sound too appealing to me. That's not to say there isn't anything good about the Bible, but I won't make it the cornerstone of my life. Also, like Infinity said, christianity and religion in general often impose far too many restrictions in one's life that seem both uncomfortable and unnecessary to me. I seem to be doing just fine without it, so I think I'll keep it that way.
I think studying religion makes for a good intellectual exercise, however.
The Bible is contradicting because under the message of love and tolerance, is nothing but bigotry and self-righteousness.
Not to mention that it was written by several different people, and since we are only human, we are bound to assert our own opinions. Thus, some opinions may contradict others.
