Atheists, tell me, a Roman Catholic: why should I become an atheist?

I talked about it a little bit in another thread:


I'll also add that Catholic doctrine on faith and morals just make sense to me. Natural Law makes sense to me, and it makes sense to me how that ties in with God's nature.

Cool...
Personally, I'd dismiss the supernatural force that started it all... who said there's a start at all?

History and the spread of Christianity... meh... it spread in the lower castes, to which it appealed over all other aristocrat belief systems.
Saints as witnesses... hmmm I see those as circular in nature - not trustworthy.
Accounts of miracles, particularly Fátima... yeah, you know where I stand on that one... curious atmospheric phenomenon. Lucky for the people who set it up, or half expected? I can't tell.

Your very own miracle, 10 years ago... are you sure it was a miracle? Have you ruled out all possible natural processes?

Finally, you hope it's all true.
Well, I hope you're right and don't suffer any disappointment when the time comes.

I keep my options open. The threat of hell bugs me not, for I see it as human invention to steer the populace into behaving properly. So, if there is a god and it is good, it will appreciate my using the intellectual skills given to me, instead of just following what some folk said.
If there is a god and it is not good, then I don't want to spend my life cowering about it. I'll live my life.
If there is no god, I'll live my life.

Thanks love. 

There's no way that could have happened naturally. I also find it highly unlikely that myself and the person I was with (both mentally healthy individuals) both had the exact same delusion at the exact same time.
