"If there is no God it would be necessary to invent one"- Voltaire. Atheists, would you agree with this statement, if not then why?

LOL....I do, considering that Voltaire is pointing straight to the fact that humans invented gods.  All of them.  

There is no God besides Allah

god is in your mind - no need to invent one. But with less aware humans, if there is no religion, it would be necessary to invent one

Gods were "invented" as a way for ancient people to explain things they did not understand. like the Vikings thought Thunder was just Thor hitting **** with his hammer, In Greece they believed that it was zues throwing lightning,... storms on the sea were caused by Poseidon, ... vikings believe that a solar eclipse was a Giant wolf eating the sun goddess so when one happened they would would bang their weapons on their shields and shout..... for those people "inventing" a god was necessary... but for today, the fact that people still believe in deities makes absolutely no sense. 

Ah, that is the Voltaire who predicted that 50 years from his death (1778), people would have abandoned the Bible, and that Christianity would have virtually disappeared. Well, 50 years on from his death, the Geneva Bible Society was printing thousands of copies of the Bible from the very house that once used to belong to Voltaire. And 242 years on, Christianity is still growing world-wide (despite decline in certain quarters and thousands of Christians being killed by persecutors in other quarters.) I don't think Voltaire's comments are entirely reliable.

That one you quote has some truth to it, but your comments on it are contrary to what the Bible explains about basic human nature. I won't go into that as I'm not here to lecture you. Suffice to say that even the most outwardly-appearing God-fearing person has the propensity to turn into a monster, as history has shown. As this wise person said, "Fallen man is not naturally godly; he is naturally religious." (John McArthur)

Religiosity is a great evil, and I say that as a Christian. The problem with many atheists is that they equate religiosity as a great evil without seeing beyond what is usually a grotesque facade to the God of Love and Righteousness, who is due reverential awe (fear, if you like).

I don't care. I have never met an Atheist who is violent or one who is a mass murderer. Science has shown that there is compassion for others in the lesser species, and people, long before religion, were assisting others.

Don't threaten us. If the only thing keeping you from being a mass murderer is some bronze age fantasy about a Santa like figure in the sky then you will commit mass murder eventually. Eventually you are going to reason out that Santa is okay with you killing. Since why not? If you can invent a God you might as well invent a God that wants you to do the things that you want to do already.

How about this instead, you do the right thing because you create in your mind the perfect version of yourself and that perfect person always does the right now?

There was a God invented. Duh.

I do hope that you do not mind this pagan raven answering. Voltaire lived in an era when, if the global majority of humans suspected that God was not real, there would be chaos and mass panic. I would like to think your species has evolved the tiniest bit since then, but there are still entire sections of the population that would go mad if they knew the truth. Thus, the fiction of an all-powerful father figure is necessary to lull them into a false sense of security, so that they will not be dangerous.

Humans have invented thousands of gods.
