What will be an atheist's answer ?

[chinu]

Both theist and atheist were the victim of poverty in life. Somebody asked:

Hey theist why are you sad ?
Theist's answer: Sad because God has not provided me enough money in my life.

Hey atheist are you also sad because God has not given you enough money in your life ? or its your own faliure ? or something else ?
What will be an atheist's answer ?

Yes, some people don't get enough money even after too hard work. Vice versa some are born in a rich family

The theist answer is wrong even if God exists. A theist giving that answer has very poor understanding of God in my opinion.

Generally, I only get sad with personal issues, such as being sick, or a loved one being mad at me. I don't get sad over things I can personally change. I have no money means I need to work harder or spend less and wait until I catch up. I been doing this all my life. In general, I don't blame anyone for my problems, I know I am not the norm as people love to put the blame on others, but I just can't. I would never consider myself a failure but that I am just having a challenging time with life which occurs to all of us for periods of time.

I also find this question suspect because why would a theist blame God for anything. If anything, they would pray to God for help. To a theist God is the sole creator and benefactor of their life and provides challenges they can endure to prove their worthiness. So, I am guessing you have a sinister motive for your question.

We need governments that fairly distributes resources and then no one will be hungry.

Why do you think this is? Do you think God favors some people over others?

As I see it, it is action, not God, that determines the amount of money one has.

Perhaps, this theist has poor understanding of God. its possible.

Demanding this from God ?

 

[Altfish]

Demanding this from God ?

From who? Not god.
No, from real people, people who have been allotted resposibility

 

[chinu]

Why do you think this is? Do you think God favors some people over others?

Perhaps.

As I see it, it is action, not God, that determines the amount of money one has.

Who keeps the accounts of actions ?

 

[chinu]

From who? Not god.
No, from real people, people who have been allotted resposibility

Aren't you demanding from God to give birth to honest people only ?

 

[SalixIncendium]

Perhaps.

Why would God favor some people over others?

Who keeps the accounts of actions ?

I do.

 

[chinu]

Why would God favor some people over others?

Perhaps there are some good people who keep the accounts of actions

 

[Altfish]

Aren't you demanding from God to give birth to honest people only ?

What don't you understand about the term 'Atheist'?
Why would I demand something from someone who I don't believe exists?

 

[SalixIncendium]

Perhaps there are some good people who keep the accounts of actions

Can you please rephrase your reply? I'm not understanding how this answers my question.

Okay then from whom you are demanding ?

I wouldn't be sad but perhaps reflective that I've not been able to pull myself out of poverty. Must keep trying must do better.

That's what happens when you have no god to blame you rely more on yourself

Yes I can rephrase.

SalixIncendium is a good person who keeps the accounts of actions.
