I don't understand how everyone is able to have faith in God's existance. It's not that I don't want to believe in His existance but I find it very hard to buy into it. Does that make me an atheist?

An atheist is someone who denies altogether the existance of god. An agnostic is someone who believes that there can be no proof of/there is no proof of the existance of god but does not deny the possibility that god exists. I consider myself Agnostic as I can't help question his existance as well. I often wonder how more people don't see things this way as our generation has been brought up to question and be critical of anything that we can't see and feel. It's common knowledge that it's foolish to 'buy' into anything until you've experienced it with your very own senses. That applies to everything except religion I guess. It definitly makes it to the top of my list of things I can't seem to figure out: Existance, fate vs free will, etc. I'm just as confused as you are in otherwords. Sorry I have no real advice to give you. Just thought I'd let you know you're not the only one.

So what if you are an atheist?? Don't let others force you into believing something that your heart tells you isn't what you believe. People have faith in all different things, it doesn't have to be a certain religion or belief. Have faith in yourself and humanity and you'll get along just fine...........

More of an agnostic. Aetheism is being convinced that there's no God. Agnoticism is believing that there is a possibility of God's existance, but not enough to constitute associating oneself with an organized religion.

I'd go more with agnostic, I'd think. Atheists don't believe there's a God. Agnostics think that it's not possible to know either way.

Keep pondering . God speak to your heart. When you begin to feel a need that nothing can satisfy you will realize that only He can. That´s when you ask Jesus to come into your heart. God has to be real to you personally before you may want His fellowship. He does not force himself on anybody but if you pray to Him he will manifest to you, not in a physical way but in your spirit. God bless you!!!

Yes it does. Our faith is from God. God works in way that we humans with our little minds can't understand. Christians died for their faith.

I would rather beleive that there is a God and find out there isn't than to not believe there is a God and find out there is.

If you believe that god does not exist you're an atheist.
If you don't know if god exists or not you're an agnostic.
