Religion & Spirituality - 21 July 2007

My question is to all religious people out there,
I'm an atheist and to me it's so clear and obvious that:
There is no God, or Allah,
Jesus is not alive,
We came from the monkeys and we all die like any other animals and when are dead WE ARE FINISHED,
We have no soul,
There are no hell and heaven,
Prayers never work,
There is no such a thing as divine plan,
And most of the stuff written in the Bible or Quran is false,

I just can't understand why so many people deny all these simple facts and live in denial,
Please give me your reasons for believing in God,
Thank you

According to the previous post:

I would like to continue the disscussion.

According to the previous answer by Pangel

"....because although Buddhism does not believe in a God , it has a set of principles
Atheism has none

principles , commandments , scriptures , rituals , meetings .... make the religion
not the title

Atheism is not a way of life.... their lack of belief in a God does not govern how they live their lives ...."


This paragraph caught my attention the most
"....because although Buddhism does not believe in a God , it has a set of principles
Atheism has none..."

Athiesm or Athiest DO NOT HAVE a set of priciples to follow right ? Agree ?

Well , here is a question statement.

Isn't not having a principle a way to say that your principle is to not have any one in particular ?

Many would agree with this statement as Athiest do not follow any set of principles. However...

I am a Christian and a new-bee to yahoo answer and I hope that some of you would take a second to tell me what it is you believe in and the title that is used to describe your belief. This is not about justification but about an introduction. With tolerance please...

I always wish to God that I turned into an emperor penguin (still retain my human spirit) right now and live in Antarctica and start over a new life there. Because I do not like my life now. So, is wishing to have a new life or wishing to be turned into an animal a sin? Thank you very much.

Is it because both religion and food can provide temporary consolation.

that 10% of americans "are atheists"

could it be that only 10% of americans are willing to admit to themselves and others that they are atheists

error +/- 3%

Hinduism says the cosomos is an illusion created by god, and we are stuck up in this Maya... What abt YA?

People take birth here and create an ID and attach an ego with it...give it a face.

People make friends and foes for points, which are of no use outside YA ...like we earn money in world..which is not used anywhere

People get inflated ego for points and levels and badges...which are actually real illusion and have no value anywhere.

We fall in love with fake IDs, we make enemies in fake IDs....and dont know who the real person is behind them

The insult of our Temporary ID by another temporary ID... is taken seriously by us... and we attach that grief with our own real self..

Do you have some more such ideas ?
