So your an Athiest

[AAA]

You guys are funny. You really believe you are outside the box. We all believe what makes us comfy, to a point. I have no evidence, but neither do you. You don't even know you need evidence, "I am an athiest". You think that is a catch all phrase. We all need evidence. Mine is found inside myself, yours is found outside yourself. We all wonder why bad things happen to good people, why do we love, where does hate, justice, etc. come from, whats it all about. You put on a front like it dosn't matter, or you never think of such things. You think its from our neurons or whatever. I'm sure you believe in evolution, talk about your mental masterbation. But you do believe its from something. Come back down to Earth. And one more thing, thanks for the comment about my english--Public Schools

I seriously, just cannot believe how obtuse this is.

There is a claim that X exists. There is no evidence that X actually does exist, and every line of inquiry into X brings up nothing. As such I cannot honestly say that I am convinced that X does exist. I do not need proof that X does not exist, because if the claim was never made then I would still by default not believe in X.

You are also posing several other things that you are compounding into the god question, many of which have NOTHING to do with it. There can be a god and the universe could still be unjust. There could still be a god and the brain would still be responsible for mental functioning such as emotions. Most theists also accept evolution (as I did when I was a christian). It does not have ANY bearing upon the god concept. The existence of god must stand or fall on its own merit. And IT HAS NOT GOT ANY.

If you honestly believe that a god exists then you have to first provide a solid definition of this god, and then provide reasons to believe that this thing exists. And a feeling inside yourself does not count as evidence. If you want to be believed you have to provide some reason that can be independently verified. I need some thread that does not unravel as I follow it. If you can't do this, if you can't explain WHY you believe what you do, then you can not fault anyone for not buying into it.

Well I think there is plenty of evidence of an intelligent mind having designed the universe and life itself. I don't know that we can definitively say that that intelligence was god.
