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

[Jesster]

Hi Balaco! Even as a Christian, I can always respect a position of healthy skepticism.  Tell me, have you ever considered that maybe the evidence of whether God exist or not, is the same evidence? As in, whether you choose to believe in a God (or absence of God(s)), all of the evidence will support your position. 

So in essence, it all starts with you. What do you want to believe?

The first problem with this is that not believing in a god is not the same as believing in the absence of a god. You don't need evidence to not believe something because that just means you have not accepted the assertions.

The second problem is that no rational person should ever form a belief and then lead the evidence back to that belief. A rational person should follow the evidence and form a belief based on their findings. That way it has nothing to do with what you want to believe.
