Atheists, why do you think it strange if God gives men power in this world?

Question

Can't God do anything? So why think it strange if God gives men in this world a little more power, power like being head of a household and stuff?

Why think it strange?

Answer 1

"God" gives or supplies nothing! People in a loving relationship are partners in that relationship. That is just common sense, and has nothing whatsoever to do with religion.

Answer 2

In your mind, you can make your imaginary god do whatever you feel you need him to do - it's your delusion and your business. What I think of it is irrelevant.

Answer 3

Prove it, you misogynistic male chauvenist!

I bet I could emasculate you in about 30 seconds, since you feel so compelled to prove your 'dominance'.

Answer 4

I don't believe that god is giving anyone power.  Its all the work of sexist clergy.

Answer 5

I just think it strange you have to justify your dominance by claiming a god said it's okay...

Answer 6

Why do you ask atheists about what a deity did or didn't do?  We don't believe in deities.  We are rational.  You might as well ask us where the Tooth Fairy stores all those teeth.

Answer 7

Powers eh? Powers to lie maybe. I haven't seen any other demonstration of this power. You should work the powers out in mathematics for all to see.

Answer 8

Huh?  Why would an atheist think God does anything?  Don't they already have an unbelief in Him?  Why don't you believe if you capture a leprechaun you can force him to show you where his pot of gold is?

And David was hardly a "powerful" king...he was the leader of a little backwater nation that didn't even remain intact two generations after he died...

Answer 9

Because women are the sole bearers of children and logically they are superior. They live longer as well. They are more dominant genetically, the odds of a mutation into a male is rarer. Yes mutation, males are mutated females, that would be something I learned in biology class.

Yay logic.

Answer 10

God does not exist

So, it does not give power..to you, nor me.

Period

Answer 11

Why would you address this question to Atheists?  We don't believe in god, so do not think "god" does anything in this world.

Answer 12

As an atheist who by definition is someone who does not believe in god, I do not think god gave man anything, strange or otherwise.

Answer 13

God doesn't exist to give men power.

Your question is stupid.

Answer 14

Unfortunately, Christians have been brainwashed, in the main, from childhood by other Christians into believing that the Bible is litrally true, word-for-word. Likewise do the Muslims and other religions for their holy books..

The belief in a supenatural being goes way back, in the main because mankind was not educated, had not the knowledge we have todate, yet the 'none so blind as will not see' brigade are stubborn and stupid, preferring to listen to those that feel that the supernatural is plausable and all else is bunkum.

To them, the rest of us, of course, are Anti-Christ scientists.

No, God is a supernatural creation of mankind's mind. I see what is about and around me, so I do the science the math and come to conclusions from what is tangable and real.

Inteligent Creation by a God is a myth, purpertrated by the stupid to fool the gullable...tiths, what a great way to make money; I should have been a pastor. Have you noticed how big churches are in the Southern States? So tall they are...I don't know anyone who is 30 feet tall, so why don't they build them 9 feet tall, plus an attic in the roof-space to hold all their junk. All that money used to build them that could have gone to helping the poor

I would love to have some 'Bible Puncher' be able to show me 'PROOF' that God exists; tangible evidence for a design by an Inteligent Creation.

FIGHT THE RELIGIOUS NUTTERS: GOD WILLS IT..!!!

If it makes you happy to believe in the the supernatural, then that's fine.

Answer 15

What the heck are you talking about?

There is no god to feel strange about or to "do anything".

I never said any of the claims you are making.

Answer 16

Probably for the same reason that we find it strange to believe a fat man in a red suit flies around the world delievering toys to all the children who have been good.

Perhaps even for the same reason that christians fail to understand that the FSM is the only true god.

Answer 17

Apparently you don't know what an atheist is.  

Answer 18

I don't think it strange.  Middle Eastern men invented your god.  And they saw themselves as superior to women.

Therefore, their imaginary god saw men as superior to women.  (Their god also saw their particular tribe as superior to all the other tribes)

It makes complete sense.

Answer 19

God has done nothing.  Give me some evidence that any god, anywhere, has done anything please.

Answer 20

What part of the word ATHEIST are you having difficulty understanding?

+ god does not exist

+ what does not exist cannot give men anything

+ therefore god cannot give men power, authority, a free lunch, a ticket to the football game, a swift kick in the gonads or anything else

Answer 21

It isn't strange is God is a prick.

Answer 22

ROFLMAO! Men more power! LOL!

Baby I own you if I want you. Get real. LOL.

P.S. NO David was a minor nobody king in a minor nothing kingdom. They can't even prove he actually existed.

Answer 23

I don't think it is strange.

Rather it is a personal reflection on the state of nature by a particular individual.

My personal reflection is different.

(Man has taken power to transform the environment to his needs and to dominate other life forms because he has the intellectual ability to do so.  It is not any different that the Great White Shark eating everything that might be good food or the elephant terraforming the jungle to serve its needs.  We are what we are and we do what we can do)  

Answer 24

Once more, in English.

Answer 25

I don't find it strange at all.  However, I don't believe that God gave men that power.  I believe men took that power for themselves, and then wrote a book to claim that God gave it to them, so that nobody would be able to question their authority.  

You would probably see things differently if you were a woman.

Answer 26

But see if God had given you all power you would be having the babies right. Get off the man thing Lion of Judah. God Bless

Sweet Kacey.

Answer 27

There is no god. Man created god in his mind then in print, then in film and ow digital media. DUH!

Answer 28

What you're talking about is called Paternalism -- and it's both ugly and evil.  You can thank St. Augustine, Constantine the Great, and the Council at Nicaea for this plague upon humanity.  The superstitious belief in an innate male superiority has no place in our modern civilized society.  

No king was ever great, since all kings acquire their power at the expense of their subject's freedoms.  We live in a secular democracy now, or hadn't you noticed?

You claim to not be a misogynist, but I've been reading your posts for about a year and a half.  I know you can't see it, but friend you ARE the very definition of a misogynist.  (Just because you happen to like s*x with women does not mean you are not a mysogynist.)

Edit:  Atom74 makes an excellent point.  The genetic truth is that males are actually mutated females.  Males arose from females, long before there were even mammals on this planet.  If your opinions were based on objective facts, and genuine knowledge, instead of superstitious mythology, you wouldn't keep making such an obvious fool of yourself.

Answer 29

Because god would of necessity be gender neutral,or female,the bearer of life.This impostor,this false being you worship because he fulfills your adolescent macho desires,it isn't strange at all for a fantasy god to give the sexually insecure their fantasy....god given male rule.Grow a set dude

Answer 30

First time I read your posts I knew you are strange.  

Answer 31

I find it strange that you would live your life according to the whims of an unseen deity.
