I am now turning 80 years of age and have been an atheist for about 65 of
those eighty years. I have promoted atheism for all of those years. I have
declared that god does not exist for all of those years.

I have had religious friends that have died and suffered painful illnesses
and death over these years.

I served for almost three years in the Army during W.W.II and saw many
highly religious types killed and wounded. I survived W.W.II without a
scratch. Why didn't god smite me for my atheism?

I lived a full and enjoyable life, free of disease and accidents. I have
flown thousands of hours as a pilot. I have driven many thousands of miles
by car.
Why did god not punish me in an accident?

About five years ago I had a heart attack. I've fully recovered from this.
Why did god not make it fatal or at least debilitating?

A few years ago I suffered from a ruptured appendix. This is frequently
fatal. Why have I not been punished by death for my lack of belief in god?

If god created heaven and earth and is all good, why does he permit babies
to be still born or born with serious and permanent disabilities and permit
non
believers like me to live and prosper?

Where is there ANY objective evidence that believers live any longer,
healthier, wealthier or enjoyable lives?

It would seem there is no god to met out punishments and rewards.
