Why do you not believe in the concept of a God?

[freakygin]

I was born in one of the largest muslim country
But since i'm attending Christian school, i spend my childhood as a Christian

As a kid, of course i'll believe pretty much anything other people said.
My parents are budhist, and i'm fortunate enough that my family doesn't think that religion is important
They always taught me that "The most important thing is, being a Good person, not a religious person"

Until, one day. When i'm at the church, the priest talking about how the nonbeliever will all go to hell.
The question that first pop in my head was "How about my parents? They never hurt anybody, why does they have to go to hell?"
"Sure, they didn't worship Jesus, but that doesn't mean that they are bad"
The priest made it pretty clear that "Jesus is the only way"
Other ways? Straight to hell!

That time, the priest himself already planted the seed of my doubt
But that didn't made me an atheist yet.
I'm still a Christian, just not very devouted one.
Hated going to church, rather playing video games.
But still believe that God exist.

I was never really able fit in with other "Christian"
They always asked me to join them in their "Community Group"
Which i'll admit, it was actually fun, except reading the bible part
And when the leader said that "your spirit is not growing" (Whatever that means)
I decided to leave the group for good (I was there for the girls anyway)

One day. I stumbled across a book
"Beyond Belief - AL De Silva"
Actually, I read that book just because i'm bored, but i kept on reading
Till the part where the book explained the inconsistencies of the bible
How they cherry picked the bible verse and simply ignore the rest
And that time, i just thought, "Well, this is a really good point"
After that, i'm doing my homework

I've done a lot of reading
After reading "A brief history of Time - Stephen Hawking"
My mind was blown away over the fact about how vast our universe are.
How they are keep expanding, how the scientist "found" other planets
Our universe is amazing... Such being as "Almighty God" has no place here.
I suppose God didn't have anything better to do beside asking money on earth
Punishing boys for beating his meat on earth.
And of course, provide 72 (Why 72?) hot angels to his subjects (This one from quran)

Why i didn't believe the concept of God?
For me, God (Yahweh / Allah) is no more real than Zeus or Osiris.
Just an imaginary figure to explain something people don't understand.
"God did it" is definitely not a satisfying answer

And no, i didn't hate God.
I admire God as much as i admire Odin & Thor.
I like Jesus as much as i like Santa Claus (It's holiday, ja?)
If there's any movies about them, i'll watch them, because it entertains me
I became an atheist is not out of hate. But out of curiousity.
And i found my answer that way.
