 "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people". [Written by some bloke in the 19th century].

As a father, I would give my life for my kids
They have always been well fed clothed and loved.
Any injury's that they may have suffered also affected me.
They have been helped where ever possible and woe betide anyone that does them grief.
I now call on God, stand up, be recognised as a father, if any of your children get harmed, (this is impossible because you are the almighty) by terrorism etc, prove who you are and sort it now.
You are obviously reading this because you are everywhere and also, as is taught, in my mind.
Exit your pearly gates, get on a cloud and float down and sort your mess out.   
If you were a human you would be charged with genocide.
Here endeth my sermon.
From a true father and family man

Another reason why I don't believe in God, Heaven, Hell, the Afterlife etc.

I remember sitting with my Grandma when I was about 12 and the news of the Aberfan Disaster was breaking. She was a very religious woman and used to attend chapel 3 times on a Sunday. When she heard the news she said "If there is a God and he loves little children he would never have allowed this to happen". She never stepped inside a chapel or church again in 36 years.
yes it was the Aberfan disaster, that turned me against religeon

I'm with this, putting aside the scientific view of the Big Bang theory and evolution proving (at least to me) that there is not some heavenly being in control,  with all the killings in the world and through people close to me being taken through illness I don't believe in God or anything similar. I actually believe instead that religion is the cause of many of the worlds problems

Oh and didn't he drown the entire human race, women and children included, apart from Noah and his family and some animals?

Doesn't sound overly forgiving to me.

Strange, but I have often read that people who do not believe in God, when in trouble or when someone is desparately ill decide to pray.

"Well It's nonsense, isn't it?
What is?
- Religion.
- Er
- Think about it.
Very little evidence.
Blind faith, that's all we have to go on.
There's not a shred of proof! Nothing! Aliens? Now, there's something that might just be possible.
But everlasting life? Big demons sticking red-hot pokers up your arse for all eternity? I don't think so.
The whole religion thing, I just don't buy it".
