Imagine everyone in the world having a vote in what we, as a species, do. And imagine if everyone chose, of their own free will, not to allow their own religious beliefs to influence our decisions.

What a beautiful dream.

How do you reconcile the fact that there is no proof that there is no God, and the necessity of faith to that effect with utter adherence to reason and rejection of faith? It seems to me like a self-contained contradiction which, at heart, seems to embody all of those things you stand against.
It's axiomatic to say that since there is no science on the subject of God, or on the subject of whether or not he/she/it/shmizmar exists, that there is no rational position, for or against his/her/its/shimizmarrin existence. This, at best, paints you in a slightly unfavorable and hypocritical light, and at worst makes you out to be flagrantly, and deliberately denying that which you embrace in defiance of reason.
So which is it? Are you honestly really Atheists? Or are you deep down Anti-Theist agnostics? And if you -are- Atheists, will you admit that this requires faith and conviction without evidence?

I stop being religious (not believing in god's existence)
Many years ago, for that reason i became the black sheep of the family to the point of being hated.
Do we must be religious to be considered a good person?

Some religions even go so far that they change the Bible message so that members do not have to do what God asks them to do. And they call it the Bible!

Not sure what it means. They hand out stickers, ask people to buy lei's out on the beaches (here in Hawaii), etc. I'm not into the faith at all, but noticed they always ask me to repeat a certain phrase...I've said a couple times to get them out of my face...but what am I actually saying? Hope it's no allegiance to Hare Krishna or whoever it is. It's always the same phrase though...??

what if the dead get a disease that creates electrical charges in the barin the get them moving again and inspire their hunger. And when they bite us there blood is so poisinous that we die within a few minuets and have the same effect put on us. What if the bible prophecy is just a new disease or it could be just people opinions coming out of their graves to bite us in the ***.

…and they were really distressed at the thought of death (yet you knew they would die in a few days), do you think it would be better to tell them that they would recover and be alright if you knew it would relieve their worries?

When it comes to religion, and sinning, these people cannot be trusted. It is easy to do all of the terrible things in the world, then ask for forgiveness and be "born again" but how do we know these people aren't going to try that crap again?

This should be handled like bankruptcy. A born again christian should have that on their church record for 7 years, just so other religious people are aware and can be causious for that time. That sounds like a good plan.

Religion is constantly accused on this forum and elsewhere, of being a cause of conflict and war. However, atheism and policies based on atheistic principles have an appalling record of crimes against humanity.
Hitler, although he is best described as a pantheist occultist, used atheistic, evolutionary principles to formulate and justify his eugenic and ‘master race’ policies. Countless millions were brutally slaughtered as a result, including 6 million Jews. The atheistic regimes of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ceaucesco, Honicker etc. together murdered at least 38 million people, making the century of the great atheist experiment, the most bloodthirsty and brutal in the history of the world. Even today, the atheist inspired ethics of our secular society ensure that the slaughter continues with the sanitised killing of millions of innocent unborn babies in abortion mills and embryo experimentation labs.

I wish i could go back in time and do everything different, but i can't and the people i've wronged don't seem willing to let it go. Because of this, i keep feeling guilty and i know God forgives me, but i can't seem to forgive myself, any advice?

I've studied theology and find the God of the main three Abrahamic faiths to be absolutely monsterous. I am having a hard time going to church and hanging out with people who can say nothing about how good their God is while they completely ignore everything he has done. In the OT slavery is condoned, women are looked down upon as inferior, God tells his people to kill multiple groups for not believing in him, one is told to kill their own kin if they worship another God. I just can't get my sense of morality to swallow this, no matter how hard I try.

I also can't get past the point of an eternal Hell. It makes no sense to me, and is perhaps more twisted than anything I wrote above. People choose their religion based on where they are born, of course they've heard of Christianity, but they were tought a different religion, just as you were taught yours.

I want to believe there is something there, but I don't think I'll ever be able to believe in such a God.
