i am not saying why as in why are damning yourself i am saying why as in why what has lead you to have no religion. okay so in case you are wondering i am christian/ catholic i love my God and no arrogant replies will stop me from loving him. i am wondering how can go through life without some comfort or hope as to who your creator is or what will happen to you. and to all of you atheists or people who have no religion i pray that god will save you.
okay before you say there is no proof first BIBLE its documented how can you say that some random person just wrote down a bunch of stuff. these people describe god and how awesome he is what he can do this is heartfelt how can you call this a lie and the big bang no one knows how it started hmmmmm maybe it was CREATED
 
I have plenty of "comfort and hope" in my life. I also have morals. And meaning in my life. And goals. And family. And friends. And love.

Did you think you need a religion for those things?

And I know who my parents are. I know where I come from. Nobody can know the future so I take the good and the bad and roll with it.

I'm an atheist because I see no reason or need to believe in gods. And no objective evidence or proof of their existence. I don't need your god that I don't believe exists to "save me" from whatever I don't need saving from. I don't need to believe in an afterlife that probably doesn't exist in order to put value in this life.

Simple enough.

PS: I used to be a Christian

Edit: The Bible is as much proof as Christianity as the Quran is proof of Islam. For that matter - Harry Potter books must prove Harry Potter right?

You need to look up the definitions of "evidence" and "proof".

Lack of understanding of the big bang doesn't mean it did not happen.
 
Why have you rejected Zeus?


What evidence do you have that your God is right and Zeus is wrong? If you have nothing then why do you dismiss Zeus but insist that God is real.


I much prefer to live in the real world, living in a delusion may give you a warm fuzzy feeling that your invisible friend loves you but sooner or later that delusion will break down and you will realise that you have wasted part of your life on something that was never there


If I tell you that I will send you $1,000,000 at the end of the year does that give you hope? What happens when the year ends and no money arrives? Which was better, to have a false hope that let you ignore any financial problems you had? Or to face reality and have to deal with your finances?


I pity you as you waste your time pleading to a non-existent being for it to save people from a non-existent place.


Edit:
Again, what makes your bible more valid than the holy texts of other religions?

Your bible has been altered over time. Compare it to the 400 CE Codex Sinaiiticus?

What thought have you actually put in to make you think that your religion is correct? It sounds like just enough to validate your preconceptions, but not enough to actually see the flaws in them.

Sorry, the reality is that your God does not exist. Live with your delusions if you want, but I prefer to live in reality.

I still pity you.
 
Im damn proud to be ATHIEST! I dont believe in LIFE AFTER DEATH. Jesus, god, all that sh*t, is as real to me as santa clause is.... THERE IS NO GOD ! When will you people grow up! When we die, it will be as if we were never born. thats what death is like. DEAL WITH IT !!!

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours
 
Because I'm strong enough to stand on my own and deal with my problems, without needing a crutch or the comfort that everything will be alright in the end. Sometimes things go to shit, and that is it.
 
1 - my creator is my mom, same as you
2 - as you grow older you will learn more things and you will realize the stories in the bibles makes no sense
3 - you can love who you want and be whatever religion you choose but just don't be surprised when nothing happens like the book says at the end
 
I believe someone or something has created life as we know it, but nothing has ever provided me with a definite answer. My problem with religion is that in all of history, it is the leading killer of people around the world. People live, die and kill in the name of religions and the people who are running the religions ( Like the Vatican ) take advantage of the week-willed to gain a little more money than the other religions. I have no problem with what most of them say. Don't kill. Don't steal. Love thy neighbor. The problem is when people follow their god or gods, they feel the need to fight against anyone who believes different. I live my life with values that I feel are just and I raise my children the same way. You wonder how people can go thru lfe with the comfort and hope of what will happen to you. Nobody knows for sure. Heaven? Re-incarnation? Just a lump in the ground? How can you say that what the bible says is true? How do you know? Faith? That is not proof. One of the greatest givers of all time lost faith in God 50 years before she died. That didn't stop her from helping. Mother Teresa. She wrote letters that she had lost her faith in God, but she still drove on to help the world because she believed in herself. That is how we live.
 
I don't require the promise of an afterlife to enjoy the life I have now.
 
I'm an agnostic deist (if a god exists, he abandoned us) because while I think there's the possibility of a god, every religion on the face of the planet uses their deity to tie their followers down. I just want to live my life for the now and for myself and those I wish to help, and, to me, religion restricts that.
 
can i make u believe muffin iz almighty creator?

sorta likez teh same idea
 
Please don't misunderstand anything I say; I'm trying to be smart. I don't believe in any gods because I haven't been convinced of their existence; there is no evidence to support the claims. Also, my parents "created" me.
 
It isn't about hope or comfort. It is about accepting reality on realities terms, it's a really hard concept to grasp, surprisingly.
