a: Because they are misinformed.


a: It is our nature to be compassionate, nurturing and expect justice. When a person believes that God must be in control of misfortune and causes suffering - or cannot prevent evil acts, misfortune and suffering; they prefer not to believe in such a God. They "project" expectations onto the divine, rather than seeing themselves as responsible agents made in God's image.

Where did evil come from and why is there suffering in the world?

A:In philosophy, this is called the problem of evil and suffering. Evil must come from somewhere, but if God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all good, and the sole creator of the world, then why is there evil and suffering? The problem can only be resolved if at least one of these propositions is false. Therefore if God is all-powerful, he is either not all-knowing and is therefore unaware of all the evil in the world, or he is not all-good and is unconcerned about all. Evil and suffering exist because at least one proposition of religion is false.

Proof god doesnt exist?

It is not possible to prove God doesn't exist, just as we can't prove fairies, elves and unicorns don't exist. The inability to prove something doesn't exist does not therefore mean that it does exist. It is not possible to prove that there is no teapot in orbit around Pluto, yet the lack of such a proof doesn't mean that the teapot therefore exists. There have been several attempts to prove that God exists using logic (eg Kalam cosmological argument, Transcendental Argument for God [TAG]), but these are not universally accepted as valid and true - if they were then there'd be no need for any further discussion.
