Alright I have been researching theories talking with other Atheists and I have discovered some people who are Atheists but for the wrong reasons like...
1.Settling a score with God because they hate him for (whatever)reasons.
2.Just because.
Some good reasons...
1.There is no evidence.
2.A book written by primitive people is no proof for any God/Gods.
3.Nothing can be omniscient and omnipotent.
Any other reasons can be stated for I am interested in some of your reasons or reasons not to be.

big bang theory>>&gt)) boom what a big coincidence. big bang..i know the ending big crack .. am i right


No, you are, in fact, no right. For one, it wasn't so much of an explosion as an expansion. Two, it was not a coincidence. Is gravity a coincidence? How convienent we don't all fly off the face of the planet as it spins at 5 miles per second.

abiogenesis? i never heard about this


Life from something non living.

evelution theory which was writed by darvin ??


Evolution* Darwin*
Do you not think evolution exists? It's pretty much 100% proven. That's why it's called, "The Theory of Evolution" and not "We think there might be something called Evolution"

but u didnt believe in god but u believe evelution theory which was writed by darvin ??


I accept the theory of evolution based on the evidence.
Evidence for Evolution
Plaigiarised Errors and Molecular Genetics
Examples of Evolution.
29+ Cases for Macroevolution
Observed Instances of Speciation
Lizards Undergo Rapid Evolution After Introduction To A New Home
Ring Species: Unusual Demonstrations of Speciation

Also Darwin didn't write the theory, what he did do was discover the mechanism by which evolution works which is known as natural selection.

u just believe big bang happened by accidentally


No, I think it happened through natural processes. As to exactly what processes I'm unsure of.

ok it means some people believes dirty laundries make mice.... ?? science deny this


Spontaneous Generation is not abiogenesis. With Spontaneous Generation you have complex organisms continually emerging from non life. With abiogenesis we requiring to happen only once producing only simplistic organisms then diversifying.

you can find interesting proofs in youtube. which proved the evoloution theory is wrong...


You want to use YouTube for providing evidence? I can play that game....

@amon2006
I ended my previous post with a 'have a nice read'. Now I must realize you didn't take the time to properly read what those are about. Luckily MageGrayWolf posted a few links so you may educate yourself about that. It makes no sense to discuss about it as long as you don't understand what the scientifical theories are really about (and your comments let me think you don't know yet). Thus, I'll repeat myself: Have a nice read!

I've heard that even nonbelievers can be saved if they're 'righteous enough' anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.

It depends on what denomination you follow. Some say they can, some say they can't, some say all that matters is being a good person.

Christmas, in America at least, no longer is solely religious. It's been highly comercialized.

No special benefits and/or food. (Mmm, latkes)


You don't have to be religious to eat food. It might be a religious food, but if you like it who cares eat it anyways.

No embarrassing religeous stereotypes


Atheism does have a sterotype - Most people assume atheists are immoral and apathetic about everything.

Christmas does not solely belong to Christianity; it belongs to multiple religions who have helped shape it.

No special benefits and/or food


We still have the federal holidays and Thanksgiving which also does not belong solely to Christianity.

"Believers" of a religeon hate you


I should hope not. If so they should really practice "Love thy neighbor".

Why does it need a religion at all? Why is what we can see and interact with not enough? Do we really need some almighty presence to tell us what we should and should not do like a bunch of 4 year olds?

Oh trust me.
They NEVER practice "Love thy Neighbor".
What it really is-
"Love thy Neighbor if he does everything right. If he doesn't, BURRRN THE HEEEEAAATHEN. BUURRRRN." That just might be a stereotype...
That is followed....
ALOT.

Because there is no such thing as "Good religion"?
