Atheists... why do you believe that God doesn't exist?
#60
RE: Atheists... why do you believe that God doesn't exist?
I believe that there are no gods, due to the fact that no evidence points to the existence of even one of them. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence in most things, but ten thousand years of constant searching turning up absolutely zilch speaks of at least one exception. I believe there are no unicorns or leprechauns either, and for less-justifiable reasons (those myths are much younger and have failed far fewer tests of scrutiny).

God beliefs don't even have that weak foundation. Peeling back enough layers of any theist justification ultimately leads to the only actual source of any religious belief: the believer's desire for their beliefs to be true.
