[quote:Anonymous Coward 32076855:MV8yMTE5ODU4XzM1ODE4MjQ0XzUyQTBDREM0] To clear things up. I'm an atheist, not agnostic. I say I'm considering but not in the sense that I actually believe there is one. I'm 99.9999% certain that there is no god. What I'm considering is belief systems and why people believe what they do. Where is the evidence of such things. I'm sorry I didn't respond to a lot of messages, but they were either without scientific evidence or they were issues I've resolved. I have read them all and nothing there could covince me. I did find what I thought to be a gem though, which is pantheistic atheism. But then I started hearing about vibrations and I thought the gem was more like plastic. Where does this vibrations stuff come from? How can it be proven. However, I know you can take and leave want you want anyway, which is good. Anyway, I like the ideals of pantheism which are actually pretty much atheistic. So, this I am considering. Can anyone tell me more? [/quote]

I'm considering god, but need a rational reason to actually believe. I would never take blind faith, as you could end up in any religion just dependant on the influence around you.
Anyway, I'm searching, but need a rational way to decide.
