I dont' claim to know that there is no god. I see absolutely no reason to believe there is one, but I don't fault anyone who does (except to say that they haven't really done their research). The only thing I do fault them for, is when they claim to know what this god likes, dislikes, commands, and/or punishes.
I do know that the majority of the major religions out there have been completely debunked, and their origins have been exposed for the fallacies that they are.
In which case, if there is a god, I'm sure he will applaud me for seeking the truth about him, rather than giving up and simply accepting whatever feels most comfortable.
And although most theists out there will say the opposite (as if they would even know), it's not "comfortable" being an atheist...

I agree with your logic. And, I have stated the same things many times. Technically all of us on this planet are agnostic, unless someone has personally seen god or has checked for him under every rock and up each asteriods craters, which no one has. Truly, no one can say they know 100% for sure. But, I preferr to be called an atheist by choice. I conceed that neither side has proof that would convince a jury of either viewpoint. But, I am of the opinion that there is no all powerful being hanging out in the sky somewhere waiting to judge me someday. Sure, I could be wrong, but to believe otherwise doesn't make any sense to me, and doesn't seem logical in any way.

Theists believe God exists because the Bible tells us He does.Atheists don't believe in God because science says He doesn't exist.Atheists say the Bible is not proof because man wrote the Bible,not God. Theists say that a theory(Theory of Evolution)which was also written by man, is not proof enough to give up on their beliefs. Theists believe the Bible was written by man,but under the direction of the Holy Spirit ,direct from God.When science came up with the Theory of Evolution,the Big Bang Theory,etc.,there was no divine intervention in those writings.They were written solely by man. And the argument goes on and on.... One day, all mysteries will be revealed,and there will no longer be any doubt as to whether God does or does not exist,but until then,it is highly doubtful that there will be any compromise on either side.

The object called pluto has been observed by many and has a verifable presence in the universe.
When you are athiest you are taking the concrete step to say that you do not put credence in theories of the existence of God because there is no proof, AND ONLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO PROOF.
God is not like pluto because pluto is observable and you can repeat the experiments which allow you to see pluto.
The theist believes in supernatural beings in the ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE due to their uncritical acceptance of stories, folklore and mythology. They do not attempt to prove it true, they do not attempt to prove it false, they do not require proof to believe.
Atheist will believe something if proof is available, athiests will theorize the existence of something if a large number of facts fit the hypotheses. There are no such facts supporting the theory that God exists, therefore athiests don't believe.
You may call this veiwpoint stubborn, good science is stubborn, it stubbornly clings to the principles of science which have advanced us from animals living in wet caves to what we are now.

First, your argument is out of date, Pluto is no longer considered a planet and hasn't been for several months now.
Secondly, you're comparing God, something which cannot be observed, to Pluto, something which can and has been observed. You are using a "what if?" statement to undermine the fact that God cannot be observed and therefore cannot be known to exist.
Sure we may be wrong but why would you believe that something is out there just because it could be out there? Are you saying that I should also believe that Cthulhu could be out there simple because he could be out there?
Please get off your high-horse, you're not making a very good argument.

God is a creation of early human , God is become a traditional gift from our parents. God is known from the bibal and quran. God is a written scroll which we all follow without questioning.
So finally. We are following a false god and killing each other. Now what we see here is . . .The lack of science knowldge and traditional followers keep the religion alive for some more years. But finally the bitter truth will win.

I believe in one thing FACT. It has been proven we are ancestors to the caveman, and before then the apes. It is my understanding that God supposedly created man, not ape, not caveman. He created all living animals that Adam, again supposedly, named himself. Yet we have no proof of this happening, no proof of Noahs Ark (which by the way was supposed to be a boat big enough, built by hand, to hold male and female of every animal on the planet), not likely to be even close to possible. We are supposed to believe in someone that floats in an unknown place in the sky and looks down on us everyday and judges us for our wrong and right doings. Yes there is a very small chance that we may be wrong but reading a book and believing everything that is written in it with no actual proof seems somewhat asinine. I compare it to reading the night before Christmas and then therefore believing in Santa Claus. Where is the proof he does not exist, maybe he just stopped delivering presents, like god stopped delivering miracles and his ability to appear before us. HO HO HO !

The laws of physics and mathematics in the different countries of the world
are identical, but religions - different. Why?
Because the religion is not proved by the laws of physics and mathematics.
And unless it is possible?
In my book and on a site I approve that it is possible.

Can we know anything concretely about God ?
Whether it is possible to explain religion with the help of the
physical and mathematical theorems?
Yes. It is possible.
Because to create all MATERIAL WORLD the God
could only working in an absolute reference system
and only under physical and mathematical laws.

Why would imagine that something exist, if there is no reason or evidence for its existence? The concept of God was created to explain phenomenon that primitive man did not understand.. If these thing can be explained, what is the need for imagining God?

Pluto exists, it's just not defined as a planet. God, on the other hand, does not exist. If you'd like to redefine God, perhaps more people would believe.
