Because we have matured enough to no longer need a parent in order to survive.I can't believe that ration people still don't believe that there is a God and an afterlife its quite strange
Like?
Wow.... i bet you're one of those close minded people who may have to leave this forum containing a wealth of knowledge in order to protect your narrow, narrow beliefs/ .
Maybe the problem isn't with rational people, maybe it is your belief in god.

Limited? I think you are a bit confused. on Sunday I'm scheduled to orgies into the night. on Monday, I'm eating Catholic babies spiced with chili and some fine red wine on the side, and im scheduled for other uplifting and entertaining secular fun for the rest of the week. world view wise, atheists have inspired Marxism, Communism, and other fine systems which have dominated many millions, subjugated them, and rooted out their religious beliefs. pretty nifty wouldnt you say?why are atheistic worldviews so limited
I find it beautiful, that in the gorgeous universe that we live in, there are people out there who don't need to profess superstitions in order to claim meaning.I can't believe that ration people still don't believe that there is a God and an afterlife its quite strange

Hitler was a christian with the full blessing of the RCC. People mature at different rates. I never said mankind was mature enough to live without a parent, I said some of us were mature to live without a parent. God is still important for many people. Just not others. You wern't asking about everybody were you? I don't see that a belief in god is a problem and I don't see how not believing in the existence of god is a problem.What makes you think mankind is mature? have you read the newspapers lately? Do you think Hitler and Stalin are Mature?
If god is unable to keep his own revelations from being corrupted by man, it does little to support the idea of its omnipotence.But isn't it obvious that most of those things are manmade? Does it seem possible that when God revealed it it was rational? That the self defeating incongruence and discontinuity of religion is the result of mankind? I mean, who knows what it was like directly from the prophets' mouths?
It's called "free will."If god is unable to keep his own revelations from being corrupted by man, it does little to support the idea of its omnipotence.
yes.It's called "free will."

That's a non sequitur.yes.
I have all to often heard this very excuse to explain the non-interference of this all knowing all powerful deity.
That's a non sequitur.
What suggests to you, that God was interested in not letting his revelation be corrupted by man, and how does this make God any less, other than what your opinion might suggest?If god is unable to keep his own revelations from being corrupted by man, it does little to support the idea of its omnipotence.
You apply your reason and logic, to suggest God is concerned about "us" accurately understanding him. Why would you suggest that is God's desire and purpose, to make God's self known accurately to everyone?As children we used to play a game where we sat in a large circle. The first player would whisper a short sentence into the ear of the player to their right. Then the sentence would be repeated around the circle until it returned to the original player. The larger the circle, the more the original sentence would change by the time the game was over.
This is a lesson in the inaccuracy of hearsay.
However, if the original player instead were to go to each individual and repeat the same original sentence into each players ear. There would be no change, and the original sentence would remain the same.
This is an example of the accuracy of direct witness.
If you were an omnipotent god who wished to make himself known accurately to mankind, which method would you use?
And IWE's theoretical apologetics.What suggests to you, that God was interested in not letting his revelation be corrupted by man, and how does this make God any less, other than what your opinion might suggest?

There is God's objectives, and TW's theoretical God objectives, two totally different things.
