Does God put any more or less.......

God is timeless. No timetable. No need for patience. That is a human trait.

We are made in His image, meaning we have the ability to display the same qualities as Jehovah...the Bible speaks of His happiness, His anger, and His hurt so as usual, you don't know what you are talking about...

It certainly is...

"When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone." James 1:13

God is timeless. Patience means nothing to him.

That has nothing to do with the fact that god punished Adam and Eve and part of the punishment was diseases.

The punishment was death...read your Bible...diseases developed as each generation got further and further away from the 1st perfect human pair...

God created everything. It's in the book. That includes diseases; they are a part of everything.

There are mysteries in science too. How did the Big Bang occur, what was the universe like before the Big Bang? Why haven't we discovered a gravitron? Is dark matter real or is something else adding mass to the universe?

Nope, when Adam and Eve sinned, that caused an imbalance in creation, which led to diseases, among other things that plague mankind...

None of the mysteries of science includes imaginary beings. We know that the Big Bang occurred, we know there may be dark matter. We know that the universe exists. Belief in a god is just that, belief.

There is nothing in the book about any imbalance. There is a story of god punishing mankind to a life of suffering. God started everything and created everything. Man was not and is not capable of creating anything.

That's one of the great mysteries.

Does God ignore prayers from atheists? IDK

Maybe we'll find out after we die and go to Heaven.

Well, I think it's fair to say that Atheists have the best chance of going to "heaven".

There are several thousand different religions, so the odds that anyone chose the "real" god are long indeed. And if there's one thing Gods seem to often hate, it's people worshiping other gods and not them.

So by remaining an atheist, I keep my doors open, and when I die I can jump to the "real" god's team without penalty so to speak.

Not mention that Adam and Eve never existed. Diseases have nothing to do with mythical characters.

Caused an imbalance? What is this nonsense.

God lost his **** because Adam and Eve ate the apple, an action that they didn't understand was wrong.

Punishing mankind for evermore is just Yahweh acting like an petulant asshat because he ****ed up.

Affliction touches the life of every human in one way or another...nothing or no one has been in balance since the garden of Eden...

"that the creation itself will also be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God. For we know that all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now." Romans 8:21,22

Only Jehovah God can and will remedy our plight in His due time...

"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4

Which were created during the creation.....before god killed off every land animal, bird and plant when he flooded the Earth.

Why do you care? Do you believe in any God? If so, which one?

If none, then you answered your own question with "no" because there no your opinion is there is no God to give credence to anything.

Good question, in that it draws to the forefront the bigotry of Christians. After all, Christians insist that only believers in Christ get to go to heaven, and everyone else suffers eternal damnation. But, of course, they will argue that they only mean well by telling you that. :confused:

As for God: if one exists, it won't be anything like the things man worships. So, no worries, either way. Just live your life trying to do right by others, don't turn your back on suffering, never be part of a hateful mob and party like it was still 1999.

I'm sure you've probably heard this before, but when I was young, I asked if good people who weren't Christians went to hell, simply for not being Christians. The answer I received was "YES", unless they have never been exposed to Christianity. To which I responded, then why in hell did you ever expose me to Christianity ? It's not logical or rational for people of any religious belief to be expected to summarily dismiss the religion there were exposed to simply because they are later exposed to another religious belief system.
