why do you chose evil? Chose life and live ,I gave you my word, God will come very soon. The bible say;
Ecclesiastes 12:1
Remember also your Creator in the days
of your youth, before the evil days come
and the years draw near of which you
will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;

And open you mind and read this verse below;
Ecclesiastes 4:6
Better one handful with rest than two
handfuls with effort and a pursuit of the
wind.

foolishly expect more satisfaction in sloth and idleness. But idleness is a sin that is its own punishment.

may be yea may be nay.
Life is harsh and difficult and people tend to mostly do things base on what they believe is right as long as they are not stepping on the any body toe and the law.
I will suggest you do some serious soul searching about God again maybe you will find him maybe not. For if you seek him you will surely find him.
Note i am not forcing you to do it it is just a matter of choice.
I will encourage you to think for ur self and all so all others the priveldge to do so too.

Nah, I can't pretend. Atheists and religious people are virtually two sides to the same dinky coin IMHO. Both claiming to know what they can/do not.

That is not true.
I am an agnostic atheist. Or a weak atheist. I dont claim to know anything. (Female too for the benefit of the op).
My position is that I lack belief in what theists are saying. Thats it! I simply do not believe them. That is what atheism is at a basic level.
I am deliberately not saying a God certainly does not exist as I cannot know that.

eg If you tell me you have 100 million dollars in your account. I will definitely lack belief as this is a Huge claim with no evidence, but i will not say I know for sure you dont have that, as i dont know you.

Other atheists (strong/positive atheists) go a step further and assert that God does not exist. Not all atheists hold that view. Just like not all Christians are catholic.

So now I am interested, what do you believe.

Yes, I understand your view. My post was written in reference to what you referred to as the "positive/strong" atheist. I've found that questioning a truly religious person, and a "strong" atheist draws some distinct (and interestingly similar) patterns and parallels. IME, at least. I still hold that they're essentially two sides to the same coin.

Actually strong atheists really do present their case very well....unlike strong theists.

Then can we go to the origins....
The beginning of creation at the universe level or the level of our galaxy, anyone you prefer?

what is actually behind the orderly arrangement of the galaxy and the resultant effects of evolution of different creatures?

I have no freaking idea, consider this illustration, a village untouched by civilization suddenly sees a cellphone in the sand, it makes noises and the technology is way too advanced for them, the village witchdoctor declares that the 'GODS' are responsible for this mysterious device and the village dances and praises the GODS, I am that villager who doesn't buy into it instead has faith that there must be some logical explanation for it even though I have no freaking idea how such a wonderful device could ever be created by man.

I have no idea how this wonderful creation called earth came to be, but I do not believe the bible's explanation because it doesn't make any sense.

exactly!
faith creped in as a result of illogical reasoning.

same with most thisday so-called Christians.
Faith has served as a substitute for illogical reasoning.

I only wanted you to ask some questions to yourself and try to be convinced with any answer you will take in.

Note: you don't need to believe anything but need only conviction which could only arise as a result of strict logical examination.

Danke!

I am guessing you are one of those logical Christians, so what's your explanation for the orderliness of the universe?
