What Would Jesus NOT Do?

Christians believe that Jesus is an amazing god, as described by the stories in the bible: making the blind see, turning water to wine, walking on water etc. However, if Jesus was god, and came here to forgive humans for their sins, why did he not end suffering? In my book, the fact of the existence of suffering in this world proves resolutely that a god does not exist, and it is truly a waste of time praying to an imaginary being. Indeed, if god really existed, then the existence of suffering proves that this god is not a benevolent god, but a malevolent one, and why should humans pray to such a nasty being?

The following is a nice video cleverly illustrating why it is so irrational to use the bible to prove that god exists, and that god "loves" us and wants to "save" us from our "sins".

The bible is just a work of fiction, written by bronze age people more than 2000 years ago to explain about the mysteries of life in the tiny corner of the Earth that they occupied. Lacking the scientific knowledge of the 21st century, they had to invent a mythical creature called "god" to explain all this "mysteries". It is time rational human beings junk these superstitions of the bronze age. We should live our lives using rational thinking, based on the pillars of reason and science.
