Not sure what it is ... but to each is own. Did you know that sheep find poison ivy particularly tasty. So go ahead ... get the t-shirt. These t-shirts are seconds ... right?

Don't make the same mistake as I did. You will feel lost and lose the confidence in everything.If you try to impress somebody or just want to make some changes in your life, this is not the best thing to do.Being an atheist only brought me huge trouble. First with my family, then with my friends and also with my school. Have a second thought before you act in this matter. It's not just about the religion here...it's also about your mental stability in the future.

If you are a young person, you may want to seek guidance from someone who is knowledgable about such things as one's eternal soul, eternal love, and the teachings of the Bible. I, personally, could not stay unfaithful to God by denying His existence, and ignoring His word. According to His word, disbelievers are walking down the path to destruction. For eternity. Is this ok? I would rather not see you head down that path. Yes, it is a choice. Just make a choice- Jesus always has his hand out for you to walk with Him but He will never force you.

A persons belief system is entirely of their choosing, There is no law that says you have to have a belief in a religion or a belief system for that matter. I don't see anything wrong with being an atheist, an agnostic, a Christian, a Jew, a Taoist, a Buddhist or anything else that denotes a belief or lack there of.

Consider the alternative and apply reason. If you find it still to be a good idea, then, yes, be an atheist.
Please check
Pascal's Wager
on wikipedia. There's a compelling argument for not being an atheist there.
If you want to ask questions about Christianity... well, you know where to ask them!

Just think about the concept of charity.
I personally find comfort in knowing that a person is trying to help someone because that is what they really love to do, because it is the right thing to do, because they love people and hate suffering.
I do not find it comforting to consider that while people may be doing their best they are doing it because they are compelled to, because they fear punishment, or that they will be made to starve or suffer in poverty otherwise.

Atheists are generally very smart. Spelling is a sign of intelligence. Connect the dots.

Only if you have the ability to think rationally, and employ critical thought... and learn how to spell it. Otherwise, you're better off as a 'believer'... less brain-strain.

I think it's ok to believe whatever makes you happy.
