-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Why would God entrust the spreading of 'His' word to one of his 'fallible'children? He knows men are sinners and are untrue doubt a professor wouldallow one of his students to teach a class if all the other students' futures were atstake. If God loved us so much and he wants us to be with him, why would he put

our eternal souls at risk like that?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2. If Satan is the ultimate trickster, how do we know that Satan hasn't trickedChristians into worshipping him as God (Yahweh) and are actually rebuking the"real" God in his own name?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3. If god cast the devil into hell and hell is a place for eternal punishment fromwhich even god cannot grant a pardon, then why do the preachers tell us thedevil is walking up and down the hallways of high schools tempting teenagers todo drugs and have pre-marital sex? A warden who allows his prisoners thefreedom to go out and kill and rape would be terminated for incompetence

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4. I have often heard from many believers that even Satan has a presence in thechurch, which is why even in church people can still have impure thoughts. If Satan can find his way in the church, how do Christians know that Satan didn'tfind his way into the Bible and twist the whole book?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5. If the Universe is everywhere by definition, why do theists ask where it camefrom? How can there be anywhere for the universe to come from if the Universeis already everywhere by definition

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6. Does God think? If so, he cannot be all-knowing. Think about it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7. If a soul is non-physical and the human body is physical, how does a soul stayin our bodies?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------8. If God is all-knowing, how could he be disappointed in His creation?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------10. Why did God flood the earth to remove evil? It didn't work! Evil came rightback, God should have known that would happen! So why did He bother

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------11. Why is it that theists tell me that I have to examine every part of the universeand not find God anywhere in order to say that there is no god, when in fact all Ineed to do is not find God in one location since he is supposed to be omnipresent?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------12. If the Garden of Eden was a perfect paradise as xians claim, then why didEve even want to eat the apple? Wouldn't a perfect place provide everything aperson would want or desire and thus she would want nothing?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------13. Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death" Does this mean animals sinas well? Or unicellular organisms? Do plants sin? Because they all die as well,not just humans. Why does an animal die, if it doesn't know the moral differencebetween right and wrong?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------14. Why would an all-powerful god become flesh in order to sacrifice himself tohimself so that his creation might escape the wrath of himself? Couldn't god, inhis infinite wisdom, come up with something a little more efficient?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------15. If we are the children of god, and yet we have never seen him, does that makeus the bastards of god? Not to mention my mom didn't marry God

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------16. After 9/11 a lot of people have been tossing around "God bless America".Why do they keep saying this? From the looks of it god hasn't blessed anything.If god had blessed America, the 9/11 event would've never happened. Theistsseem to give the answer of "everything is part of gods big plan". If everything ispart of gods big plan, why are we after Bin Laden? Wasn't he and otherterrorists just carrying out gods desired plan? So it seems that Bin Laden/ terrorism isnt our enemy, but god.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------17. Christians say that God is NOT the author of confusion. Can you say, Towerof Babel? - The Screaming Monkeys

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------18. Christians will tell you that if a baby dies it goes to heaven. Why then arethey so against abortion? All the child is being deprived of is the opportunity togo to hell. Either that or god expects unborn fetuses to accept Jesus.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------19. Why does God have emotions (jealousy, anger, sadness, love, etc.) if he isomnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent? Emotions are reactionary, how canGod react to us if he is all-knowing and has a divine plan?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------20. If Jesus Christ is allegedly the omnipotent god made flesh.....how is it that hedid not inherit Original Sin? Remember, he is allegedly Man and god in union,and if truly man, as well as god, he must have inherited Original Sin. ???

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------21. If God is the father of Jesus, what is Jesus' DNA like? Does God have sperm?If he doesn't, where did Mary get the DNA from that was needed to make Jesus?This would make Mary asexual and Jesus would then be a girl. No Ychromosome.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------23. In the "Last Days" Jesus is supposed to appear in the clouds. How are theChristians on the opposite end of the world going to see him? Are there going tobe millions of Jesus'? What about people that work underground?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------24. A true Muslim man is not supposed to do anything that the prophetMuhammad didn't do. If one remembers there was a big debate over whether ornot Muslims should eat Mangoes. If this is true why in the Hell were theseIslamic Fundamentalists flying airplanes?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------25. If the earth was covered by a complete global flood, every living creaturekilled except those surviving on the ark, why are there many completely uniqueanimal species in Australia that are found no where else indigenously on theearth?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------26. If god is omniscient and "god is love," why would he allow a child to beconceived, knowing that that child would one day reject him and spend eternityburning in a lake of fire? If I were god, I wouldn't allow it; I have more love forhumanity than he does.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------27. How can Heaven be utter bliss when you know that people you love and careabout are burning in Hell? -- The Infidel Guy - ANSWER: - When we get toHeaven there will be no pain. God erases our memories of our loved ones thatmay be in Hell because he doesn't want to experience pain.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------28. Revelations takes place on Earth. What if we colonize the moon or Mars orinhabit a self-sustaining space station? Do we escape "judgement"?ANSWER: God will get them too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------29. Many people believe in ghosts. My question is, "Why is it that people see onlyghosts of people or pets? Why not Neanderthals or better yet dinosaurs? Thatwould be one hell of a ghost to see a Brontosaurus parading downtown.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------30. If god did open the sea so that Moses and the Jews could run away fromEgypt, why didn't he open the concentration camps gates?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------31. Why are we granted free will if our duty in this life to our god is to do as weare told? We are to follow rules upon threat of punishment. Is that free will?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------32. Isaiah 40:28 says, "...the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neitheris he weary?" If this is true, why did God rest on the seventh day?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------33. Every time I go to a funeral the preacher and guests always say that "God"has called that person to Heaven or they say, "God said it was time to comehome", or some such variation. If God is calling these people "home", why arewe putting the murderers of these victims in prison? How can we punish a manor woman for doing God's will?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------34. Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------35. Traditional Jews utilize Yahweh or (YHWH) as Gods name because his truename is supposedly unpronounceable. My question is how can it be possible thatpeople are using the Lords name in vain when nobody really knows what hisname is?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------36. Why is God predominately called a "he"?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------38. Planet Earth, we are reliably informed, is several billion years old. The lastdinosaur expired some 70 million years ago. Homo sapiens, the only form of lifeaccording to Christian doctrine, that is of any interest to their god is not more

than 100,000 years old. How in the name of all that is reasonable did the Judaeo-Christian god occupy himself for all those millions - billions of years untilhumankind came along to keep him so busy?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------39. If man is modelled after "God" does that mean "God" has a penis?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------40. Why can't we wait until we get to Heaven to worship God?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------43. If the "soul" is everything that is you (the essence) then how come whensomeone gets into an accident, they lose memories, functions and can beparalyzed? Why should "brain damage" matter if this "soul" is so important?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------44. Christians like to talk about what Jesus sacrificed. If Jesus was the all-knowing God, then when he "died" didn't he know he'd be in heaven in less than3 days to rule? If Jesus is alive and ruling today, what did he sacrifice?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------45. If the omnipotent God wants us to know him, why doesn't everyone knowhim?God knows that men are sinners, untrustworthy and evil, why does God leave itup to fallible man (clergy..etc) to teach others about his word? Why would he putour eternal souls at risk if he loves us to much?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------46. Where is Hell and Heaven? It was believed that heaven was in the sky untilmodern astronomers showed otherwise.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------47. If God's design is so great, why do men have nipples?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------48. How did Adam and Eve know it was wrong to disobey God if they hadn'teaten of the tree of knowledge (of good and evil) yet? You can't blame them if they didn't know.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------49. If God has such a tremendous problem with uncircumcised penises, why didhe make man with foreskin in the first place?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------50. If God is all-knowing is there anything we can do to shock him? If not, whydoes he react so often to what we do?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------51. If reincarnation is real, why is it that our population is growing? Wherewould the extra "souls" come from?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------54. If God wants us to live right and choose "the good," why did he create evil?(Isaiah 45:6,7) Not to mention he already knows which people are not going tochoose "the good" so why create those people in the first place? It seems thatmany people are born to go to Hell.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------55. I hear Christians all the time speaking of a war between Heaven and Hell, if this is true does God have limitations of power? Man only conducts wars becauseof our limitations of power and foresight. God has both all-power and all-knowledge, no reason for war.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------56. The Bible is full of phrases beginning with, "and the lord saw". Didn't heknow before hand?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------57. The Bible states that in the beginning God created the Heavens and theEarth.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------60. If God really wants us to know him, why doesn't he place the knowledge of him in our minds at birth? The same way many theists believe that God implantsour sense of right and wrong in us a right birth.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------61. If God was Jesus' father (not Joseph), then why is Jesus' family tree tracedthrough Joseph?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------62. Christians say that since we and our universe are an intelligent design, thatwe must have been created by god. But then god is an intelligent design also, sowho created him?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------63. Why does almost every description of God also equal non-existence? (i.e.incorporeal, immaterial, ineffable, unfathomable, incomprehensible, etc.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------64. Why can't God appear before everyone at the same time? Everyone in theworld would then know he exists and not believe. And please, don't say healready tried that. Surely a God knows exactly what to do to convince a measlyhuman of his existence.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------65. According to the New Testament Matthew 5:17 says "Do not suppose that Ihave come to abolish the Law and the prophets; I did not come to abolish, but tocomplete. I tell you this: so long as heaven and earth endure, not a letter, not astroke, will disappear from the Law until all that must happen has Happened."So since Jesus has not returned the "Law" is still in effect, so why aren't we stillburning witches, stoning adulterers and disobedient children, killinghomosexuals, ostracizing people that work on the Sabbath (nurses, doctors etc.),flinging blood onto the horns of the alter, pulling off the heads of small birds,and don't forget human sacrifice to God (Leviticus 27 P,28)?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------66. If believers can accept that a God has always been here. Why can't they

accept an equally plausible argument that the non-conscious Universe has alwaysbeen here in some form?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------67. If the story of Noah's ark is true. What did Noah do with all the feces?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------68. What loving god accepts sacrifices of his own creations? Especially his son? --Reverend Heresy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------69. Was Jesus God in human form? If so was God saving us from himself? Kindof selfish eh? That's what the Christians unknowingly proclaim when theyacknowledge that Jesus is God.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------70. Many Christians claim that man can't judge God's actions as evil because hehas a divine plan and is GOD. This being the case, then it would stand to reasonthat one cannot judge whether God is good either. Wouldn't God be amoral? Itappears that morality is a subjective concept that varies from culture to culture.Therefore, how we judge God either way?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

71. Why would a god make non-believers and punish them for being what hemade them to be?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------72. What is God's plan? The omniscient, omnipotent God doesn't need plans.Plans are a limitation of power. We make plans because we are not all-knowingor all-powerful. In order for God to have a plan, or design, is to make him ashumanistic as you or I. Limited.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------73. Many people believe there is a soul. If you can supposedly see, smell, taste,

touch and hear without a body then why do you have one? Wouldn't a body be awaste? Why aren't we just "souls" floating around in the first place?

75. Before reading and writing were invented (5000BC), on what basis did Goduse to judge the people who died before the Hebrew and Greek text (BIBLE)were written?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------76. How could souls burn? Aren't souls non-physical entities? I've heard of spiritual burns before. Sheesh, God sure goes through a lot of effort just totorture the children he loves.How can one hold to the barbaric belief that something has to DIE in order toappease a god for a bad deed?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------78. Christians always say that everything is part of gods big plan. If everythingis already planned out by god, what difference does it make if they pray or not?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------79. Why does SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) occur? Why would Godallow a baby to live for such a short period of time? Why not just let them not beborn in the first place?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------80. Why didn't god forbid Adam & Eve to eat from the other magic tree?
