Christians often feel compelled to "believe" in the God of Christianity, and feel even more compelled to deny that God is far more evil than the devil of Christianity, even though the devil can only torture us here on earth, while God can torture us in the afterlife for all eternity.
And what's ironic is that God will torture us in the afterlife for all eternity, for not having allowed ourselves to be tortured by the bible here on earth, or even for just failing to "believe" both in God, and that that God is the "one and only, true God" (whatever that means exactly).
But all of this only leads us to wonder why God would bother making atheists in the first place.
Why bother making people that you know will not believe in you, that must figure out in the span of their lifetime - however short that may be - that God not only exists and is real, but "loves them," or they will be cast forever into an eternal furnace that makes the ovens at Auschwitz look like a tanning bed by comparison?
Basically, Christianity claims that God left the only clue people would ever need to know Him and how "holy" He really is, in the form of the Bible, which is a book that uses suffering and death to teach humanity to appreciate the value of life, in the same way Jigsaw does in the horror movie Saw.
But again, we are left to wonder "why?" What lessons could such atheists possibly learn from being created for the sole purpose of learning to "believe" in God through such horrible lessons? In fact, the thing that tends to "teach" people to believe in God, and indeed even come to worship the idea of completely depending upon God, more than anything and everything else combined, is death itself!
And the more horrific the death, like 9/11 or even that of Jesus Christ, the more we are all expected to "learn" about God, and willingly surrender our suspicions and our doubts concerning His existence, even and especially if many of his own Christian priests use that willingness to repeatedly rape our children.
All of these horrors, from genocide to pedophilia and beyond, so the Christian would have us believe, is why God wants and needs us all to " believe" in Him, even though all of these horrors are often only possible because enough people "believe" in God.
So what exactly is the point that God is trying to make by making atheists, if it has so often only been "believers" who have committed some of the worst evils throughout history?
