The argument of the universe being "too perfect to have happened by chance" imo. I see it all the time, the people that make that argument don't realize that the universe is not "fine tuned" for us, evolution has "fine tuned" us for it.

As for pascals wager though it isn't a good reason to believe in God, dont you think it is good reason not to just sit back and not care whether there is a God or not?

This arguement is on a higher level than Pascals Wager don't yout think? I mean if you say it like this it is bad but real arguements of this type can be developed much further.

So you are Atheist rather than Agnostic? So you have proof there is no God? Isn't the point that even though you don't believe theres a good reason to look into it?

So far I have not seen any evidence for any god, and I don't really see much point in looking for evidence for each and every one of the 1000's of gods on this Earth.
Except the fsm of course (blessed be his noodly appendages). 
Im not in the same position as you though. Im assuming you have a lack of reason for God whereas i have experienced God and so that counts out the other Gods. I suppose its more asking for you to be open to God then rather than searching every religion (or maybe just the main ones).
