I take it you are religious HiddenPotential. Well I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm an atheist because I have no reason to believe any god exists. If he/she/it were to appear before me, things would change. There is nothing in the world that suggests the existence of a god, anyone who's honest with themselves should be able to see that.

that's very individual. some people may choose to explain things within themselves as a 'touch of the divine'. if that's what they believe, that there's something watching over them and interferring with their lives, there's nothing to disprove that either. that's why it's called believing. and I guess that's also why I think religion should be kept a personal matter, not to be taken out on others or mingled with politics.
oh atheistism is mind boggling, but that something hidden in the sky is a master of all creation with a son who walked on water, raised the dead, cured the blind,resurrected himself from the dead aint
I think his mind is boggled from the years of having religous BS shoved down his throat....zing..... Yeah the idea that this is it scares people, esp when they really find out how fucted up we've made the world, they'd rather believe in cloudy castle in the sky with a kind, merciful, god so they dont have to face reality that life sucks here and we dont go anywhere afterwards
I am not driven by people’ s praise and I am not slowed down by people’ s criticism.
You only live once. But if you live it right, once is enough. Wrong. We only die once, we live every day!
Make poverty history.
not BS, but facts that convince me,
I dont see perfect atmosphere, perfect distance from the sun, a moon that perfectly pulles the tides and clenses intself,etc, just to be mere coincidences.
lets say if God did send Jesus to pay you a personal visit, how would you answer his question of why didnt you read the bible?
Religion was invented because man has a need to explain everything that goes on in the world whether they have the facts to explain it or not.
"The world is flat so we dont fall off" no the world is round the reason we dont fall of is b/c the mass of the plant creates gravity.
"How did humans get here, a Powerful being (a god) most have put us all here and maybe everything for us" no we are just a lucky by product of millions and millions and millions of years of evolution. If where not here then something else takes are place as the dominate species.

I did read the Bible. The parts that weren't boring were appaling. Thousands of people murdered in the name of a "loving" God, hidious genocide commited in God's name, people tortured for eternity because God doesn't like the things they believe ... I don't need to justify myself to a demon like that.
I'm an atheist because I don't see any evidence for God. If you accepted mere existance as evidence--and it really isn't--it would be evidence for a Deistic, not Christian, god.

Well well, eloquent aren't we? If you knew anything about history you'd see most of the Bible's content and events were paralleled by substantiated historic events. It even made refrence to Ceaser being alive during the time of Christ and has many references to Egypt and Ethiopia. So don't go stabbing in the dark and making generalizations. You assume out of sheer ignorance that the Bible should be dismissed because contemporary society has become too full of itself. If you choose to believe its only "BS" go ahead you won't be the first nor the last to feel that way.
