I think most of the people here are agnostic, not athiest. I myself am agnostic and here again are the resons.

1. I feel organized religion has a negative impact on society.

2. There is no proof that god exists.

3. There is no proof god doesn't exist.

4. I am fine with ceasing to exist upon death.

5. This is life I know, this is the life I'm living, why worry about something that may or may not come.

I have to say, I have little respect for people who believe in god because that is what they were taught to be true. Now this is not an attack on the author of this thread, but at least think about this topic for yourself. If once you have thought about it and believe there must be a god, than great. But I can't help but stress how much people need to reasearch things for themselves.

Everything we are told is not true, always keep that in mind. Stepping away from religion for a moment, a few examples of this are...

1. The civil war was not about slavery.

2. Lincoln did not care about the slaves freedom at all.

3. Columbus was not the first person to say the world was round. Many intelligent people at the time already knew the truth.


My point is this, think for yourself. Don't let a priest tell you what you need to believe. Think about it, do some research, than pick a stance on a topic. Again, this is not directed at anyone in perticular, I just tend to see a lot of narrow minded and ignorant people on this site. Think for yourselves.
