Quick Poll - Do you believe in God?

[tonechaser77]

I did....i really did at one time. Strongly. But then I stopped. I started thinking. Then, I started rationalizing. I started thinking again. I started accepting. Then finally, I started actually learning. 

And here's what the bottom line was for me: 

I.)     There is a complete lack of solid evidence for god's existence.

II.)    Religion has failed to improve over time.
III.)   Religious beliefs are slippery - god is mysterious and cannot be explained but should be believed on.
IV.)    Supernatural phenomena have failed to stand up to rigorous testing.
V.)     Everything we may think the soul is, has attributable physical causes -  whatever consciousness is, is inextricably linked to our brains.
VI.)    The single strongest factor in determining what religion a person is part of?.... the religion they were brought up in.
VII.)   The weakness of religious arguments, explanations and apologetics. - all boil down to: either god exists because the bible says god exists or because of my experience
VIII.)  The inconsistency of world religions
IX.)     Natural explanations consistently explaining super-natural explanations. 
X.)      The increasingly diminishing god. - the perception of his "power" over time has diminished
