Thank you all for the warm welcome. ( I feel better now after a a day or 2 of respite).
I openly admit, I have no evidence of any god existing. It's just more of a feeling than anything else. I rather be a Deist, than a Christian which imo is toxic. saying to someone they are going to hell because they are gay or don't believe are pretty harsh things to say, some people can view that as a threat. ( It definitely provokes fights to happen that's for sure.)
When I watch some preachers preach on the street on youtube: Most of the time it regards "sinners going to hell". Personally, all of what they do is provoke fights with what they are saying to everyone.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7jeNypk1rc
Just the shirts and signs alone are provoking in nature ( Repent or Perish) is one of them, even still it doesn't justify destroying property. However, using a Megaphone, shunning people who believe differently, Telling people if you are gay you are sinning, and god throws them in hell. Freedom of speech in some areas such as this shouldn't be tolerated.
How do you feel about street preachers?
---------------------------------------------
I know most atheists were probably went through a deist stage before becoming an Atheist. However, for me it's just a feeling I have, I know I have zero evidence, but I am fine with that
. I still believe in science is what brought us alot of things we have today and that Evolution is a big thing which actually have evidence for. ( Not everything mind you, but that's the beauty about science, always learning).
I don't really want to argue my position on why I am a deist, it's like I said just a feeling ( Maybe that feeling will just fade away over time), but as of now it feels right and is a lot better than Christianity.
Again, thank you for the warm welcome!
