You couldn't just speak of the advantages of atheism without talking about theism.
Atheism only exits because there is a God

[Shawn "All Outta Bubblegum" McClure @McClureShawn]

There are no advantages to atheism per se—atheism is merely a doxastic null state with regard to the existence of gods. More to the point are the DISADVANTAGES of theism—unreasonable faith, false hope, commitment, and expenditures based on an illogical and extraordinary fiction.

That's a B.S rule. No man owes any woman such etiquette, save one he is either in a romantic relationship with or a close relative. Even then it isnt owed, but given out of love.

It’s a shame how many men don’t know about the sidewalk rule

For context: The sidewalk rule is an etiquette rule where a man walks closest to the road while the woman walks on the inside, as a gesture of protection from passing vehicles, splashes and other potential dangers

To evil people, an unborn human is like schrodinger's cat, when circumstances aren't pleasant, the baby is a thing and can be gotten rid of without remorse, then when circumstances are pleasant, the baby is protected at all cost.
So to them, the baby isnt human till they choose.

Human love carries with it the potential for betrayal, but the joy of being loved, far out weighs that potential.

Do not deprive yourself of being loved after you've been betrayed, I daresay only love can mend your broken heart.

[Evang. Joseph Ugbonma @JosephUgbonma]

When I accepted Christ, I knew it wouldn't be easy, because many will say all kinds of things to me, but I wouldn't change my confession.

Over and over again, I will choose Jesus Christ.

I am passionate about spreading the gospel worldwide.

Atheists love pointing to horrors like the Holocaust as proof God cannot exist. But before we ask why God didn't stop the Holocaust, let’s ask a smaller question: why didn't God stop Cain from killing Abel?

If you want to put God on trial for human evil, start where evil actually erupts in Scripture.

Before looking into Cain, the upstream question is simple: why would a good God even create beings who, left to themselves, are capable of monstrous cruelty?

To create a creature capable of genuine moral beauty, that creature must possess the terrifying headroom to fall. You cannot create a being capable of authentic love and righteousness without giving that being the real power to refuse those things.

A programmed machine is not loving anyone, it is merely executing code. The exact capacity that allows a man to lay down his life for a friend is the exact same capacity that allows him to pick up a stone and murder his brother. Evil is not a tangible substance God manufactured. It is the deliberate turning away of a creature's will from the source of life.

So how does God actually deal with that first evil?

He does not remain silent. Before a drop of blood is spilled, God confronts Cain directly: “sin is crouching at your door, and you must rule over it.”

This is how God confronts human evil: He hardwires moral knowledge into conscience. Deliberate evil requires actively suppressing an internal alarm we already know is ringing.

An atheist will still ask: why didn't God physically step in and stop the murder?

What are you actually asking God to do? Paralyze Cain’s arm mid-swing? Turn the stone into air? Mechanically delete his ability to carry out the act?

The moment God overrides physical consequences whenever our intentions turn dark, moral reality collapses into a cartoon. Human choices are stripped of all weight.

More importantly, where should God draw that line? Murder? Theft? Slander? The quiet malice in our own minds? If God eliminated evil by force, He couldn't stop at Cain; He would have to eliminate all of us. People don't want God to abolish evil; they only want Him to abolish the evil of other people.

Then look at Abel.

Abel walked faithfully with God, yet he ended up dead in the dirt. To secular eyes, this looks like an embarrassing defeat. Did Almighty God fail to protect the man He endorsed?

Only if you assume reality ends at the cemetery.

Cain had the power to destroy Abel’s physical body, but he had zero power to destroy Abel. God did not lose His friend.

Physical death is not terminal oblivion; it is the relocation of an eternal soul from one room of God's reality into another.

Yet God never dismisses the murder. He tells Cain that Abel’s blood cries out to Him from the ground. Injustice is real, and the blood of the innocent demands an answer.

Instead of answering with a lecture from the clouds, God stepped straight into the dirt of history Himself when humanity followed Cain. In Christ, God took on human flesh and became the target of that exact same human malice. He was falsely accused, betrayed, and executed on a Roman cross.

God did not shield Himself from the violence of the world. He absorbed the absolute worst of it into His own body, and then broke the power of death by walking out of the grave on the third day.

The Christian answer is not that God should turn us into robots to prevent every Cain. It is the assurance that while Cain is allowed to swing his stone on earth, he never gets the final verdict.

Abel’s blood cried out from the soil for vindication, but Christ’s blood answers for eternity. God does not prevent evil by destroying our agency; He enters our suffering, shoulders our guilt, and redeems everything our violence tried to destroy.

How could I ever doubt God loves me? That I pray and I don't get immediate answers, I point my fingers at heaven and say He does not hear.

Yet I look at the cross and I'm ever humbled that I could never grasp the depth of His love for me.

Every atheist I've debated eventually lands here: if God is real, why can't we see him? I used to fumble this. Then I read 1 Timothy 1:17.

Paul is mid-argument about grace and his own conversion when he breaks suddenly into praise:

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever."

"Eternal," "immortal," and "the only God" make sense as praise. But invisible? We don't praise men for being unseen. Why does Paul list it as something as glorious as the majesty and immortality of God?

Unless invisibility is not a limitation. Unless it is out of gracious design.

Paul met the unmediated light of Christ on the road to Damascus, he was knocked into the dirt, and blind for three days. He knows what the alternative to invisible feels like. It produced collapse, not worship. His praise is a survivor's testimony.

When people ask for God to be visible, they don't understand what full divine visibility would actually require.

God is omnipresent in essence. Therefore, total divine visibility fundamentally requires omnipresent visibility.

If God reveals Himself to the fullest extent of His capacity, He must be visible everywhere, at all times.

In the room you closed the door to. In the moment you spent your life believing nobody was watching. A visible, omnipresent God is not majestic; He is psychologically catastrophic. Nobody wants this, not even the devout.

Look at Isaiah 6. The prophet sees merely the hem of God's garment filling the temple, not the full glory of God, just the overflow. His response? "Woe to me, I am undone." A partial glimpse unmade him completely.

God isn't after bland empirical agreement. James already ended that: the demons believe, and tremble.
Intellectual assent is a bar the devil clears daily.

God isn't running a census of the convinced; He is seeking genuine love. And genuine love requires genuine choice, which requires that the object of love not be overwhelming.

This is why women despise love bombing. A man who floods your psychological space until refusal becomes impossible isn't loving you, he is eliminating the conditions for love. The "yes" he extracts is engineered by exhaustion.

God does the exact opposite. He veils His glory precisely so that you retain the dignity of saying no. The love bomber makes himself so large that you have no choice. God makes Himself small enough that you do.

Which brings us directly to the Incarnation.

The Incarnation is God making Himself visible enough to be known, but small enough to be rejected without fuss.

It is the most precise solution to the most precise problem: God doesn't arrive as a sky-filling terror, but as a baby in a manger in a backwater town. You can walk past a carpenter from Nazareth. You cannot walk past the throne of Isaiah 6.

The Bible is already clear that every knee will bow, a day of compelled reality as certain as the sun. But God is not eager for a forced crowd. Right now, He is seeking the single, freely given return of a heart in love.

When an atheist asks why he cannot see God, he is asking a better question than he knows. The answer is not absence. The answer is restraint.

Now one can finally understand why Paul says INVISIBLE, and means it as highest acclaim. It is not a limitation, it is a mercy.
