Atheists only have the brain equal to an ape. Don't expect them to understand much of anything.

Because i am rational, how did you pick which god you think is real, and then picked which version of your god you think is real?

Atheism is just another religion imo.

I'm not an athiest

oh, but bible thumping retards like you that are controlled by a book writen by men are so much smarter.. whatever.. You are one of the more brain washed butt fucks of GLP I see

because everything else is just a social construct.

Yes. Because no one has presented me any hard evidence of the existence of magical beings.

Well let's see...

I can put any "faith" in a supreme being who, made all we see and all humans, says "Worship Me or ELSE" then walk/flies away leaving us to "fend" for ourselves...

and let's say he does exist, Ain't NO WAY I'm gonna bow to a "God"...who lets little kids go to bed hungry...

I am not an atheist.

religitards are fucking lunatics.

totally insane

Atheism is the natural birth state. Theism is the invention of men.

Let me start by stating that I was raised in the Catholic church. I went to Catholic school, I was baptized and confirmed, and went to church every Sunday.

At a certain age, my mom told me that from that point on, I would not be 'forced' to go to church anymore....that I could make up my own mind. I have not stepped foot in a church since.

Deep in my heart, I never believed any of what was being shoved down my throat. It just didn't make sense.

Religion is the attempt by humans to explain that which can not be explained. HOW did we get here? WHY are we here? WHAT happens after death?

Human nature dictates that we naturally fear the unknown. Hence, we make up stories and explanation for that which we can't explain. Enter religion.

For most people, without a 'default' explanation of those three questions, they couldn't move on with their lives.

I am just fine with no explanation.

Hence, I am Atheist.

Actually, you were born Agnostic. (Not knowing whether God exists or doesn't exist)

Atheism is as much a faith as Christianity.

I had a face to face conversation with God last night and he seemed like a real cool cat

QUESTION: Do you believe me?

If you said yes then you are full of shit.

If you said no then even YOU know that your religion is made up and you have a belief in nothing more than a book of stories called the bible. MANY books with stories have been written in history, are they all REAL?

What do people base their religions on? Friends status, family status and historical beliefs, social status and the need for the attention/interaction with others...

I am an Atheist because I am a rational thinker. It is also the same reason I don't believe in all of the countless "Gods" humankind has dreamed up. Google, List of Gods and see what you find. How many of these Gods do you believe in and why don't you believe in all the others?

Religion:

2 : a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices

4 : a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith

Atheism:

B : the doctrine that there is no deity

- Merriam Webster Dictionary

Atheism is another religion, and I choose not to identify myself by the existence or nonexistence of a deity.

Hmmm. And you take no responsibility in this what so ever? God never stated that He was going to live your life for you, unless of course you asked Him to intervene.

The world is the way it is because of men, not God. Men ask for the right to choose and so God allows it and yet you still turn to blame Him? That is quite the cop-out...especially if you do not believe such a God exists. For if He does not exist for you, THEN those starving children are in fact YOUR fault and responsibility.

i'm agnostic.

I don't pretend to know

Why not?

Honestly.
Every person who isn't mystifies me.


Not useful.


If you can't answer the question "Do you believe in any gods?" with "Yes" you are an atheist.
Most atheists are agnostics.
In fact so are many theists.

Theism-atheism is about what you believe about gods, gnostic-agnostic is about what you believe is knowable.

because I think if you think that when you die you float up to the clouds your fucking nuts.Am I weird to find this weird.Then I quess Im a weird atheist.

The meaning of atheist seems to be confused. Many seem to use the word only with respect to the Christian god. I was not brought up as a Christian and only saw a bit of it in my teens. So naturally I would be atheist with respect to Christianity.

Because as far as I've seen, there is no god, and I don't believe in fairy tales.

And if there is a god, he/she/it relates to us much in the same way humans (who are the creators of computers and other technologies) relate to software (or, "artificial intelligence"). Do you want your computer to start having a meaningful personal relationship with you? If it did, would you take it seriously?

Perhaps I'm not technically an atheist, because I'll admit to the possibility of there being a "Creator". But humans are creators, too. We are capable of creating new forms of "life". But it doesn't make us gods. Or does it? Oh, semantics.

If there is a god, he/she/it is welcome to pull up a chair at my table and start explaining a few things. I won't hold my breath waiting.

Because I have never witnessed a super natural event ... ever. I even flatlined once for about 11 minutes according to the doctor and don't remember shit about angels, god, whatever ... Because I would rather follow science than some book written by death fearing retards a couple thousand years ago that has been changed several times. Because god doesn't exist and until one of you bible thumping people can prove otherwise besides quoting scripture just please STFU !!

A better question is why are you not athiest?

I do think believing in stories about people walking on water or creating food out of thin air is a little wild.
