I'm in the rather awkward position of being surrounded mostly by pagans of various flavours (dating a heathen) who, while generally open minded, are all the sort to go awkwardly quiet or change the subject if atheism comes up. So, I don't really have anyone close to me that I can talk to about atheism.
For various reasons I'm kind of unsure where I stand, honestly, but I'm here to learn and see where it gets me. I'm big on science, study, and logic and like trying to keep up to date with current information, more than happy to be corrected when my info is outdated. Mostly I seem to be stuck with a 'god of the gaps' sort of thing and I don't know how to get past it. Questions and explanations/information are both totally cool with me.
Ok simple question you can ask yourself.
Which is more likely to be true?
1. A super natural god is real or a possibility?
OR
2. Humans invent god/s?
If you value science, you should also know that science does not start with naked assertions nor does it gap fill. The belief in the super natural has no quality control and merely reflects the wishful thinking of those who invent these superstitions.
