Why are you atheist?

[loganlandis]

I'm an atheist because there is no god. I feel there is no substantial evidence for a god or gods. Likewise there is no "proof" that there is not a god. So basically, I'm an atheist because I feel strongly enough in my belief of no god that I don't need a fallback plan for when I die. (Heaven) Some people just can't handle that when their life is over, their life is over, therefore they "solve" their problem by believing in a higher power who will grant them a cushy "afterlife" full of everything they have ever wanted. I do not fear god or death. I do fear dying, but we all do. Its a natural reaction to everything you've ever known, enjoyed, and loved coming to an abrupt halt. Anyway, back to the point here. I'm an atheist because I believe there is no god and therefore I am not afraid of what may happen to be because of my disbelief.
