    I will answer this question the same way i always answer these “why doesnt god do this” questions.

    We just dont know. Maybe we are misinterpreting what god is supposed to be. Maybe god exists in a form we will never be able comprehend. Maybe god is the weak nuclear force holding all of everything together where inorganic is just as precious as organic. Maybe god is an nth dimensional being where basically nothing matters and things are created and destroyed on accident and we worship god for having such abilities. Maybe we are microscopic to god in the same way we treat bacteria. There are attempts to find god but maybe it will bever be fruitful. Maybe if we do discover evidence of god some day and it will bring the destruction of the universe itself.

    Its all just games we tell ourselves to feel like someone is in control. The idea of atheism is just as pointless as theism. Its like being a hater just because you want to be a hater.

      It may also be the case that there is no god. I have yet to see sufficient evidence supporting the existence of one.

      The idea of atheism is just as pointless as theism. Its[sic] like being a hater just because you want to be a hater.

      The analogy suggests there is no reason for being atheistic–for not believing in things for which no good evidence exists.

      If your default position is to believe in things without evidence, one would have to somehow believe everything to be logically consistent. But believing everything means believing contradictory things which is also logically inconsistent. So one has to arbitrarily choose what to believe despite having no reason to do so or realize that believing in things with no supporting evidence isn’t rational.
