Just because a whole lot of people in the world are theists and the remaining are either agnostics or atheists – doesn’t mean that God truly exists.

There is also something fundamentally wrong about the idea that God will damn whoever that doesn’t believe in him.

I know I don’t believe in whatever all the other religions out there – has to say to him, but what I do believe in is that – god may or may not exist.

Because, who am I to say that God is good, or evil.

At one point or the other – all religions are used to control people – to set common values for the rest of us to live in some sort of harmony within our own cultures. We get these people who believe that their God is better than the other gods that other religions believe in.

Fact is there are too many contradictions, and we refuse to see them because we have not tried to study it… and since everyone around you in the community believes it, then it is also likewise that you must believe it in order to fit in.

Taking a leaf from Robert Ingersoll, we are christians because our fathers were. We are buddhists because our fathers were. We are muslims because our fathers were.

I’m not saying that this is bad in a way. It’s just the culture we are immersed in – the religion that you practice makes you refuse to see and understand what others have in mind.

What is wrong with a person who lives in a morally and upright manner. For example, If by some way I did not believe in Jesus Christ, and I die, I would not be granted salvation?

And how sure are we of the existence of heaven and hell. We don’t even know what happens to the collective consciousness when it passes on. It is much like how a person slowly looses their memory… Where is the person that you once knew before? Would that person still remain in the theoretical soul? Or is it forever lost?

Most of us want to believe that there is something good waiting out there for us… but face it, after waiting for so many years – most of the things we did and discovered – it was through our hands alone.

oh, God didn’t magically come up with a way to create a nuclear bomb. It was not God who made the computers.

Saying that we are his creations therefore it was God’s will that we made all these discoveries is even more of a bluff.

If….

If God is “good”, then why is it that in the bible or perhaps in other religions – there is always “violence”. Good is only a human concept. We can’t judge… his existence.

Man is fallible. Our scriptures our Fallible.

Most of the time, it only preaches of a way to live our lives.

This is one of the reasons why I really want to study all sorts of religions out there… Because I’m mortified by what each faction has to say to the other faction. I will not be naming names but I had to sit through a seminar where our speaker is talking about a problem somewhere in the world and he then suddenly spouts out that the root cause of it is religion. Though that might be true, the thing is it’s not the only reason.

4 hours I listened about how he started listing out all the faults of that certain religion and then, finishes with a subtle message that when the time comes – it’s kill or be killed .-.

If religion actually inspires peace and is actually something worth believing in… if I could find a faultless religion, I would practice it. But most of what I’ve read and seen and heard is that – it’s a major source of conflict.

All because each of us has an idea of “God”.

Moving on, if this God truly exists, and he truly has a divine message for us… when we are but a mere speck in the universe… Then, why not show himself to all of us for these arguments to be done and over with.

I do not want to follow any religion that says that I will be sent to hell for not believing.

What is the difference of a morally upright citizen that does not have faith in any god from a morally upright citizen that has faith in a certain god.

There are way too many loop-d-loops in Christian theory.

I think to to actually believe in a “GOD” is ridiculous and just proves that you have no free thought.

First of all religion is just mankinds way of dealing with the fact that they are going to die eventually and there is nothing they can do about it, as stated in multiple comments above.

When people post comment such as “There is no such thing as evolution” it really makes me sad. To see how stupid people are becoming, that they cant actually think for themselves so they believe in something with no facts to support it, and never keep their minds open.

I have had countless religious debates with Christians. The second someone finds out im an atheist, their first question is ALWAYS, “well then how do u think we got here”? I will tell them something along the lines of evolution and the Big Bang theory. I give actual facts about what I believe happened. No christian has ever given me ANY facts at all to their beliefs, but instead say things like, “God created us” or “Read the bible”.

People have asked me to give them proof that there is no god, in retaliation I ask them to prove that there is one, the only so called “proof” that they give me is telling me to read the bible. That is not proof, not even close!

People are “raised” to be religious, they are “raised” to believe in a god that does not exist because their closed minded parents decided what they should believe, and baby fed them lies about life while growing up. This does not apply to all religious people, some people decide to subscribe to a particular faith sometime later in life for reasons that I dont know.

One more thing that has always been the basis of my religious arguments is that, if there are over 21 major religions in the world, how can you be sure that yours is rite and the others are wrong? Typical religious person response is “I have faith”. Pure A grade stupidity.

Religion helps the weak minded people get through life. Hey if it makes them happy then who am I to challenge their beliefs. I know that I am rite about there being no god, any other logically thinking person knows this as well.
