Actually.... why would I not be an atheist?
When I was 10... some 20 years ago, I remember thinking, about some news story in some remote village in China or something like that, "boy, these reporters have cameras everywhere!!... you know what else people claim is everywhere? god!.... how come no one has filmed the guy??"
And that was the start of doubt.
Then I learned about evolution.... goodbye Adam&Eve.
And if that is wrong... what else is wrong?....
Holy crap, the flood is also on other far older Mesopotamic mythology? One more point to the christian crap-o-meter.
Around this time, I was 12.
So, why should I believe people who tell me these things as truth.... but they're not.... what credibility do these people have?
NOTE: I'm talking about believing in people, not in the story.... first, you have to believe the people, only then you accept the story.
