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.

And those "near death experiences" can be explained by science. I forget the exact name though. And you will never find out if there is no god, because if there is none you won't have time to think after you are dead. Or at least according to your logic,(Insert name of person who everyone kept quoting). And Xzeno seems to have conflicts of interest. I wonder which religious faith he really belongs to?

It is virtually impossible to convince a great majority of religious people to become atheists or agnostics.


I would rather be more interested in getting people to think in a logical critical manner. From there the loss of theistic views often follow.

Something to consider. Every time we have made significant advancements in our knowledge, often resulting in completely new fields of study, it was from first abandoning supernatural explanations. Never once has this worked in the opposite direction.

yes I do, but that's not the first place I have heard such a thing stated. There I was trying to put it in my own words though I may have instead just quoted.

It's ok if you sound like other people which is why plagiarism really makes me mad because in 100 years all words will be said about a subject in all ways so then if you copy it you would either get in trouble or have to cite the person as if they were important enough to get recognition.

You know, religion is like saying somthing/someone sits in the sky sprinkiling magic dust down on us all making things better or worse. Makes lots of sense right?

Your being judgmental like the Bible says not to, see you there! or not since Hell doesn't actually exist either.

To add to this a being who would have me tortured for eternity simply for not believing he existed and used this threat to get those who do believe in him to stay in line, isn't a being worth a (insert favorite colorful expletive here) to get acknowledgment, let alone be worshiped.

-.-. You can't prove God. end of story. You CAN disprove god. End of story, again...Fact of the matter is, if it's unprovable, then it's most likely not real.

"God is dead." - Nietzsche
"Nietzsche is dead." - God

Nitezsche er... He was kind of right you know. In some ways it was NATURALLY BORN (I'm talking about Religion). But with all we have no it sustains no viable reason for remaining. God is Dead is metaphorically speaking of course.

I would have preferred Religion not come into the equation of life at all, although it did, and it was kind of natural (it was an explaination for unknown things). Shifting Religion to the side now will be very difficult if not impossible, sadly. :/

I think you need to come up with a better argument with that.
