Why are you an atheist?

[Simon Moon]

Hi Everyone,

I am really interested to hear how you ended up as atheists at this point in your lives.  I didn't grow up going to church or in a religious home (though my mom claimed she spoke to spirits), but I had a belief in God from an early age nevertheless.  Of all the various beliefs and religious that one can hold to, why has atheism won?

I soon came to the conclusion, that I was not warranted in believing in unsupported god claims anymore, and those beliefs just fell away.

Let me add, that I am open to being convinced that a god exists.

All I require is demonstrable and falsifiable evidence, and valid and sound logic to support the god claim. No theist has ever been able to provide this, so, my disbelief will continue.

And it's not for lack of trying.

I researched the history of the Bible, who wrote it, how it was compiled, etc. I studied logic and epistemology, and understand all the arguments theists use to argue for the existence (cosmological and first cause arguments, arguments from design, presuppositional arguments, etc) are ALL fallacious and flawed.

My story is much the same.

Mother and father put some sort of categorizing cap on me, and the rest as they, is history.

For all the old paintings of the Temptation, I think, Satan needs to up his game if he wants to get with that.

It's really starting to look like you just came here to start one thread and make one post and are otherwise uninterested in engaging with us or participating in your own thread. Have you even read any of the replies you've gotten? I hope you have, it would be pretty rude to ask a question you don't want to know the answers to.

Have you seen Korean Jesus? He's stacked!
