I just didn't want there to be a God, and I would go out of my way to make science and other data fit my atheist beliefs, and would ignore any rational points made by theists that pointed towards the existence of God. But this is before I realized that God is not as black and white, and simple as atheists paint him. (This magical and supernatural being that created the world, kills children, and wants us to worship him.) There's more to understanding our complex God, and there's a purpose for everything.
I know a lot of atheists are atheists because they dislike the idea of there being a God. But after gaining more understanding, I now feel just the opposite. I not only believe in God, but I love the idea that he's around.
Strong disagreement!
I'm not trying to make science fit my as you say "atheist belief" for which isn't a belief. I lack belief.
Also rational points made by theists that point to god's existance? Where!? I have yet to see a good point that points towards god. I don't believe in god because there is no evidence to suggest that there is one. There is no credibility. I'm not an atheist because I don't like the idea of god existing but because I really don't believe that there is one.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
