It is impossible to disprove the idea of God, but the evidence is heavily against a benevolent deity who cares about the well being of humanity. Certain attributes some people give to God are capable of being argued for or against using evidence.
If a benevolent, all-loving deity exists we would expect certain things about the universe to be true that simply are not. All the rationalizations about free will and man's rebellion are just that, rationalizations. A truly benevolent God cannot exist in the same universe as starvation, molestation, murder, influenza and ebola.
Well, that's a whole different point. But equally valid, and I agree.
My point was the notion that the story as presented by most theology has Earth as its center. We now know that Earth isn't the center of anything, but a spec of dust in the universe. A story told of the "creation of the everything" with Earth at it's center just seems hard to swallow. If true, why bother with the rest of the universe?

Ok I'm about to get all cathartic up in this shite. As I was raised on the KJV.
THIS is the key point.
Are we a bunch of seamonkeys? A giant ant farm for God? Why would he create us just so we could have someone who would love him? And why would he make us so frail? Why build something just set up for failure? And how in the name of God is a 6 year old with Leukemia a part of God's plan?
