I must humbly disagree with the letter “Faith can change lives” (July 17, TribLIVE). God is not the answer, he is the problem.

The God of the Bible is an angry being with a childlike mentality. He creates man and then floods them when they anger him beyond repair.

The idea of repentance is absurd. Why do we need the son of God (who claims to be God) to save us from God’s wrath based on actions he created and knew we were going to make? He cannot be all knowing and then be angry when you commit the action. Nor can you argue that if he knows about everyone and every single event that we have free will.

Additionally, we are “praying” we get to a place that has never even been seen by humans. Where is the proof of the existence of heaven?

Please also explain God’s absence in our lives. We are born on Earth to mortal parents who teach us to love a being we cannot see or hear, but if we question it or defy it, then we are damned for all eternity.

The whole Christian and Catholic faith is based on a book that was man-made to fit a narrative. Books those men disagreed with were removed, yet we are told theirs is the only true religion with a flawless story.

My view is that there is no God, rather just the universe. I believe people should take care of each other and move away from the church. Only then will there be peace among mankind.
