Please tell me what atheist means

[TheDarkestOfAngels]

SoI have the feeling that I'm being lied to,and you people are atheists but you don't sound bad to me so there must be another explanation.If it's because you don't believe in god I find that very strange but maybe it's because everyone around me does.

You know that old saying - people fear what they do not understand
I can see why faithful people who only surround themselves with other christian people can give another group of people they don't understand that well a misleading image.

Do you believe in god? Or do you doubt god? If you do I'll try to understand but this is very strange to me.If you don't believe that is ok but I can't see why not.I don't think you actually have to believe in god to get to heaven because not everyone knows about him so he won't punish people for that,that would be unfair.

I do not believe in god or really any spiritual faith and all for the same reason.
One of those reasons is because these faiths all make claims that are not true according to the things we've discovered about our world. They make claims that either can not happen in the manner described or can not happen period, such as prayer or miracles. Evidence has never substantiated anything according to the bible (genesis and noah's flood are excellent examples of this). I could go further, but I believe I've made my point.

So tell me what you believe.Compared to the people in my community I am what they call a troublemaker for asking so many questions but you need to ask questions,that's how you learn.And maybe you can learn from me although I m not the most intelligent person.Humility is important for all of us.

I believe whatever can be proven - empirically (with proof), logically, or rationally.
For example, the god of the bible is not rational. On one hand, he is said to be perfect with infinite wisdom, yet he's committed a number of genocides agaisnt us for ... uh... being human, essentially. He punishes those who've worked on the sabbath but not for incest, rape, abortion, or owning slaves. He tells us that murder is one of the deadliest sins, but god himself has murdered humankind by the civilization.
To me, and I mean no disrespect to your faith, that is ass-backwards.
