Asked what he would say if he was confronted by God at the pearly gates of heaven, Fry replied:

“I’d say, bone cancer in children? What’s that about?

How dare you? How dare you create a world to which there is such misery that is not our fault. It’s not right, it’s utterly, utterly evil.

Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world that is so full of injustice and pain. That’s what I would say. ”

Mr Byrne’s second question, “And you think you are going to get in, like that?”
only served to fuel his anger.

"But I wouldn't want to," Fry insisted. “I wouldn't want to get in on his terms. They are wrong.

Now, if I died and it was Pluto, Hades, and if it was the 12 Greek gods then I would have more truck with it, because the Greeks didn’t pretend to not be human in their appetites, in their capriciousness, and in their unreasonableness… they didn’t present themselves as being all-seeing, all-wise, all-kind, all-beneficent, because the god that created this universe, if it was created by god, is quite clearly a maniac… utter maniac, totally selfish.

We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him? What kind of god would do that?

So, atheism isn’t not just about not believing there’s a God, but on the assumption there is one, what kind of God is he?”

2. Every year, a million babies die the day they're born

I never had any faith that there was an all-powerful god watching out for us, but that really does it for me. I don't want to believe someone created this wasteful, ugly, tragic situation and is fine with watching it play out.

4. 55 years ago (give or take), a colleague gave birth to her third child.

The child was stillborn.

She told me that was the day she became an atheist.

In about 2 minutes. Simple done. Suck on that you theists. Your God has been disproven! Or at least dethroned.
