You're not alone, Purple Rabbit - communion wafers and sacremental wine give me heartburn. But maybe that's just because I wolf them down too fast 
Anyway, why am I an atheist? In my intro post I wrote how I became an atheist, and that certainly answers part of it, but there's more to it than that.
It's been mentioned before, but there are thousands and thousands of religions out there (not to mention the infinite number that haven't been invented yet). None of these religions can be proved as such, so putting faith in one to me is like playing russian roulette with a gun that has a thousand chambers, except the gun is fully loaded but there is a small chance that one of the thousand chambers is empty. I'd rather just put the gun down and not play the game.

Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
