The way to change the world is to change people's minds. As more and more people openly discuss the fact that "God" and "Allah" are completely imaginary, the world becomes a better place. The people who believe in "religion" look sillier and sillier. Eventually, religion becomes a fringe activity that is meaningless Here We Have A Website With No Contact Names !

What are these people trying to do! • Not only do they not believe in God, they are doing all they can to destroy your belief as well as the belief of all mankind. • This website offers 50 proofs that God is imaginary and he occurs only in the minds of believers and that nothing that he does is real. We will examine some. • Their aim is to destroy the confidence and belief of all believers so that no one will want to follow God.
Try praying • They suggest that everyone offer a prayer to God to heal all the cancer of this world. • They say that it meets God’s standards as it is a prayer for the other fella and that it is not like asking for personal riches or such. • While they are right about it meeting God’s standards, it is wrong with the intent to put him down by praying for something to test him.
Do not tempt the Lord your God? • Luke 4:12 And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'" • Deut 6:16-19 "You shall not tempt the Lord your God as you tempted Him in Massah. 17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you. 18 And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which the Lord swore to your fathers, 19 to cast out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken.
The belief in "god" seems to be ubiquitous through the ages • We know, for example, that the ancient Egyptians believed in their gods so fervently that they built massive structures like the Great Pyramid -- still today one of the largest and most enduring human constructions ever created. Despite that fervor, however, we know with complete certainty today that the Egyptian gods were imaginary. We don't build pyramids anymore and we do not mummify our leaders.
We must serve the only true God ! • Gen 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. • Only one true God mentioned 4396 times in Bible • Matt 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.'“ • Luke 8:28-29 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!"
Read The Bible • Lev 20 – Exo 21 – I Tim 2 • I thought you said that this is written by the most intelligent person in the universe. If we are going to follow what this author says, we have to kill half the people in America. We are supposed to kill everyone who has cursed his father or mother, everyone who has committed adultery, and every homosexual.
Just like most – they don’t know Godor what God’s will teaches or why! • God made laws for mans good • Deut 10:12-14 "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good?
Ponder God’s Plan • "God's plan" is the way that Christians traditionally explain things like amputations, cancer, hurricanes and car accidents. For example, if a Christian dies a painful and tragic death because of cancer, she dies as part of God's plan. Her death has a purpose. God called her home for a reason. Even if something bad happens to a Christian, it is actually good because it is part of God's plan.
They know nothing of God’s Plan! • Mic 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy,And to walk humbly with your God? • 1 Cor 2:9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." • Titus 3:4-7 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Watch the offering plate • Have you ever thought about the offering plate in church? If God is real, why do they have to pass it? If you read in the Bible, you can see that God claims to be extremely powerful and willing to answer any prayer: • Why do churches have to beg for money from mere mortals when there is an immortal, all-powerful God who should provide anything they ask for?
Does God Need Anything From Us? • Absolutely not? Then why the offering? • Acts 17:24-28 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
Do We Need Anything From Each Other? • Man must be as committed as God to saving each other. • Giving is a demonstration of love that we must show. • 2 Cor 12:14-15 Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved. • 1 Peter 1:22-24 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever
Notice that there is no scientific evidence • God has never left any physical evidence of his existence on earth. • None of Jesus' "miracles" left any physical evidence • God has never spoken to modern man, for example by taking over all the television stations and broadcasting a rational message to everyone. • The resurrected Jesus has never appeared to anyone • The Bible we have is provably incorrect and is obviously the work of primitive men rather than God. • When we analyze prayer with statistics, we find no evidence that God is "answering prayers."
On the contrary there is much evidence! • Evidence that unlearned people do not know • Josh 10:13 So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. • Science tells us about a whole day missing but this is only a part of a day what about the rest of the day?
More proof – rest of missing day ! • 2 Kings 20:8-11 And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "What is the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the Lord the third day?" 9 Then Isaiah said, "This is the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing which He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees or go backward ten degrees?“ 10 And Hezekiah answered, "It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees; no, but let the shadow go backward ten degrees.“ 11 So Isaiah the prophet cried out to the Lord, and He brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.
Even more proof ! Bad lands of South Dakota, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Rainbow all proof of flood. 300+ prophecies fulfilled exactly over a thousand years after they were written The Bible written over thousands of years by over 40 different men without even one error or mistake Jesus seen by many after his resurrection for 50 days Jesus being seen of over 500 ascending into heaven
See The Magic • The presence of "magic" is a clear marker for "imaginary." For example, how do we know that Santa is imaginary? Because (among other things) he has eight magical flying reindeer. How do we know that Jack and the Beanstalk is a fairy tale? Because (among other things) the story contains magical seeds. In the same way, how do we know that God is make believe? Because God is surrounded by magic • Another way to know is to read the stories of magical events in the Bible. There is the magical flood, yet we know with certainty that the flood never happened. There are the magical miracles of Jesus, but (predictably) none of these miracles left behind any tangible evidence. There is the magical resurrection, yet there is zero evidence that it ever occurred and no reason to believe it.
As we look at the proof we can know ! • These unlisted people who proclaim the Word of God to be imaginary, refer to God’s works as fables – instead of authoritative power, they need to explore the facts • The flood has many proofs today that the flood was very real, Noah’s Ark in Turkey, results of flood seen in the South Dekota Bad Lands and remember it has not rained in that area for thousands of years to create this erosion, same type things in Bryce Canyon & Grand Canyon.
Contemplate the contradictions • On the day Moses comes down from Mount Sinai with the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments, he discovers that the Israelites have created a golden calf. To punish the people, Moses gathers a group of men and takes the following action in the book of Exodus, Chapter 32: • Then he [Moses] said to them, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.' " The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. • So... one minute we have God carving into stone, "Thou shalt not kill." Then the next minute we have God telling each man to strap a sword to his side and lay waste to thousands. Wouldn't you expect the almighty ruler of the universe to be slightly more consistent than this? 3,000 dead people is a lot of commandment breaking. Obviously that is a total contradiction. The reason why you find contradictions like that in the Bible is because God is imaginary.
Do we know why God had Moses to tell the Levites to do this ? • Of course, here we see the answer of an uninformed non student of the Bible. They know not what they say • Ex 6:2-5 And God spoke to Moses and said to him: "I am the Lord. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Lord I was not known to them. 4 I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers. 5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.
God had a covenant with Abram Gen 12:1-3 Now the Lord had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you.2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
Now his descendents were breaking it ! Ex 20:2-4 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 "You shall have no other gods before Me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image — any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
What do all these claims have as a common theme? They do not know God, his covenants, his actions, his love, his compassion, his response to them breaking their covenants with him. It should teach us to be loyal subjects to God at all times!
