I understand and I agree. It is my opinion that God wants me to ask questions because its only that way that I can get past my doubts. Those doubts will always be there. Leaving them ignored and untouched is probably why so many theists don't like to question their faith.

It's in my opinion to question your god. If someone say's there's angels I'd question it all over. Nothing supports god's existance and so there is no data to be had and so I dismissed god. Rejected the claim in other words. I only hear about religion on this computer. Outside there is no such thing. In my home and in my town, Religion doesn't exist. I would never look at a church or anything of the sort.
When I first heard the storys of religion I thought it was a joke. When I realized that people actually believe such things that I thought everybody was an idiot. My father being a very strong atheist couldn't believe it himself. We made dozens of jokes about god and religion.
I can't believe such nonsense. Nothing personal but I feel to old, to grown up and mature to believe such things. God sounds allot like santa and I would look like a prat if people knew I believed in santa. My intire family are atheists, And we all see religion as a big joke. We'd look at religious people as weirdos.
Nothing supports religious claims. It's just a belief and it has no data so I conclude that it is false. Science has proven many things, For it has the evidence. un-like religion.
Evolution has countless fossils as evidence. Geology is used to tell the age of the earth, and many other things. Earth being 4.5 billion years old instead of only 6 thousand.
4.5 billion sounds more believable, also it has evidence. Un-like religion.
One has the evidence and so the data whilst the other only has storys and no data at all. This is why I am not religious. I need data and religion doesn't have that data. I doubt religion, I doubt god's existance and I question it heavily. I dismissed religious claims and turned towards science, Logic and reason. An atheist I remain.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
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.
