What Made You An Atheist?

[Sex Luthor]

if God exists as a concept or possibility, you are atheist
Agnosticism is claiming to not "know" if God exists
I neither know or believe God exists because again God is a concept to me
So technically I'm an agnostic atheist
However, I don't mind being called agnostic either and maybe I am simply agnostic at this point

Yeah you're right. I'm pretty much waiting for proof. I don't rule a higher power out but it seems like the most farfetched of all the hypothesis given

An issue I had since a kid was why does God let people fight over religion if he wants people to learn and live by his word? Millions have died in his name and he does nothing. Why is that?

Like Europeans came to America and told natives that believing in a Sun god and nature gods was wrong but believing in their God was the one true God. Natives see the sun come and go. They see trees grow, animals live and die. Europeans told them their gods were imaginary but Europeans believe in an imaginary being too.

Holy wars have been going on since the beginning of human civilization. You would think he would do something to show people whats real.

Atheism is European cac shyt.

nikkas really think we all came from animals and that the entire universe just came into existence by itself without a Intelligent being creating it.

Why is it okay for you to believe that god popped into existence by himself out of nowhere and waved his hands to create the universe but it’s not okay for other people to think that the universe came into existence on its own?

Books, science classes, my father being an engineer, and growing up around a lot of evangelicals.

I still believe Jesus is a great role model.

It just came to me one day that the slave and the slave master both praying to the same God and equally believing their prayers would be answered. I couldn't accept that. Especially when the people that looked like me seemed to be losing that prayer battle for centuries.

ima Christian but this point is very valid.

it wasn’t one slave that was worth answering prayers for centuries though

Seeing how weak and hypocritical religious people are from personal experience. A lot of it is just smoke and mirrors.

Logic.


i dont believe in things that dont have basis in logic and science, except love and even that serves evolutionary purposes.


believing in "god" because someone wrote a book 2000 years ago and we have been regurgitating those stories since then. seems silly but i dont discredit the POSSIBILITY of a higher power. im agnostic. i dont have evidence to support or refuse higher powers so i dont think about it.

i cant prove or disprove aliens so i dont give a shyt about that either.

Once I realized that religion wants you to serve them your whole life for a “promise” of a better afterlife that may or may not be there as a way to keep you docile and in servitude I kept it moving.
What rational higher being would allow war, rape, famine, cancer etc to go on? Because god wanted to call one of his angels home early? Nah.

 

[Elim Garak]

I'm more agnostic really and shyt just don't add up so once I was honest with myself that's where I landed.

G-d gave humans free will though. It's not g-d's fault that humans can be evil and flawed.

He created them didn’t he? Free Will is a paradox you can’t give someone free will because that in itself is not free will. Free will was forced upon on this I didn’t have a choice in having free will and living in a evil world or being a slave and living in a perfect world

Okay, fine. Do you want free will or not?
