Do believe there is a God? No. Do I believe there may be a God? Sure.
I've been an Atheist/Agnostic since I was 12. I did the whole Polish Catholic thing until that age, and it left me wanting more. Not too surprising.
The goal I have struggled with since then was finding something besides this to believe in. Not an easy task to say the least. Because we should be honest, we all want to believe in something. This is the reason so many people got suckered into God in the first place. They aren't stupid. They just want something to believe in.
It occured to me, that unless there is an alternative, then there is no reason for believers to switch to "non-believers."
Why do you think that the first question that people that believe in God ask us this? Namely being, "What do you believe in then?"
So? What's your answer?
