Am I an atheist?
June 21, 2012 at 4:19 pm

I dunno if I ever had any actual or true beliefs in God in the past. But yes, I did use to pray during the tough, tensed times, say, when the exam results were coming out. From the past three years, I'm very much confirmed that there is no such thing as God. I don't make any prayers anymore(not even false ones). When I see people making any references to God, I feel that they are stupid. That they are dependent on something that doesn't exist. I also don't believe in the saying: As you sow, so shall you reap. Since there is nobody watching us. We live, do whatever we want, eventually die and disappear from the world. There's no such thing as a soul or rebirth.
From the points I stated above, can I be considered as an Atheist?

Welcome.
If you don't believe in a god then you are an atheist, bud.

Pretty much. An atheist is someone who does not believe in god. It's as simple as that.
So yeah, you're an atheist.

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.

Do you believe in god? If not then yes you are an atheist. If so then no you are not.

Didn't know it was this simple. But I do not find any people in my circle who don't believe in God. I've asked many people but they all believe in it. What is it that makes a person believe in something they've never seen or felt?

If you have to ask ..... you aint.
You put your religious views down as "Not Sure".
So Atheist you aint.
Maybe an Agnostic ...but Atheist ? ..... Nah.
You need to work out why you feel there is no god ,why are these people stupid ?
and you might want to reconsider the "do whatever we want" bit too....
Start by trying "do whatever we choose to be right"
