RE: why not believe in God!
Oh dear. Let the fallacy bashing commence.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln

There is no evidence to suggest that such a thing exists.

So let me get this right? It takes faith to lack belief in something? Please explain.
If what you say is true, then it takes faith to lack belief in santa, FSM, thor, apollo, ect ect.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

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.

You say that a god exists? I don't believe you. Can you prove it?

^-- How does that require faith? (to reiterate what the others said)

Welcome to the boards ibelieve! Unfortunately, i think you'll find that youre arguments will hardly hold up here, as the members of this forum are very scrutinous of suchs things. Other than that, have a good time, and learn a little somethin!

If its that simple, I'll just flip a coin to decide.

Scrutinous?

Watson I think you just invented a word.

I like it.

Anyhoo Ibelieve welcome and what is this atheist faith you talk of.

Personally I dont believe in god because there is no evidence, none, nada, zip for any such creature.




You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
