Critical thinker, skeptical about atheism.

[pocaracas]

Thank you for the replies, I'm in a different timezone so was asleep as 4 pages of posts popped up in this thread, obviously I won't be able to address each post since it would be prohibitively time consuming.

Some of the replies are quite thoughtful and I thank you for that,

This by the same guy who said:

There are so many questions Ive asked atheists over the years, and their answers just seem illogical, and leave me even more skeptical about atheism.

How many atheists have you been talking to?

at the end of the day we all have a desire for fulfillment in this life, and I believe that's why atheism is such a minority belief system in our world,

it leaves one empty, because it has no answers for the most basic questions, and who wants to live an Empty existence,

And who wants to live a deceived life?

wondering what the point of getting up in the morning is, if one lives a meaningless life that ends in a hole in the ground,

The most usual meaning can be found in children... and grandchildren.
True immortality lies in the continuation of your genetic material. Your genes carry on.

And so we will always have religion it seems to me, since the alternative is a despair,

A bit exaggerated, no?
But yes, some people do experience that despair.
Most remain atheists, in spite of it.... for they can't acknowledge the existence of any god.

Oh and a little off topic, amazing inexplicable phenomena in this world, backed up by incredible discoveries in Paranormal Psychology, certainly reinforce the validity of religion as well.
