i'm purely contained in the approach ... of shopping for a clean automobile - a Mitsubishi Colt* - from a mate. yet another mate is driving me over to Sydney on Saturday morning so's i can capture a flight as a lot as Brisbane. i replaced right into a passenger in a unmarried about six months in the past and that i replaced into inspired; I netted it - I regarded at each and every ingredient of the specs - I recognize one if I see it on the line; i recognize this automobile 'backwards' and that i love it. Now, if it replaced right into a faith in holding with an invisible sky swooper i might want to be up crap creek in a barbed twine canoe and not using a paddle, does not I? i does not be able to internet it cos all i might want to get were people's impressions of the following-say. No-one woulda done a try force in it cos it does not have existed - the most suitable time there replaced into information of it modern-day replaced into purely formerly a flood that wiped out each and every thing except for some animals and stupid 'keep on with the chief' childrens and their compliant better halves. .

As I learned to think rationally I learned that religion cannot be true. Also as I learned of the many hypocrisies of religion and the countless millions of people maimed tortured and killed through religion through events like September 11th, The Salem Witch Trials, and The Crusades all in the name of religion I realized that obviously no God who claims to love his people as he does would allow something like that.
Through all the unanswered prayers I learned that there is no God. not when I have a mother dying in a hospital as some dumbass jock football players claims God helped him make a touchdown.
Obviously if God truly loved and blessed people he would surely see that blessing a good woman who gave everything to her husband and children is alot more important than helping some greedy asshole score another touchdown so he can go spend more money on weed or yet another blinged out SUV.
I also questioned why the church took a sweep it under the rug attitude toward pedophile priests. Obviously no God would want his agents harming and psychologically scarring children.
Once you put all of this together you can see why I do not believe in a bunch of fairy tales invented by bronze age goat farmers.

I read the Bible and realized that the god described in it could not be a god. I also read some other religious texts and some philosophy books and realized that a god is unnecessary. Throw in a little Occams razor and it's done.
As far as rejecting godliness....
The idea of what a God is supposed to be is one thing I do not reject. I actually embrace it. I believe we should all try to be as gods.

I became an agnostic at a very young age,if you look around the world how could you possibly believe in God as taught in the bible. While I do not necessarily rule out the possibility of a higher power,I find it very hard to believe,and I surely don't believe in a God who actually cares what happens to his creations. If God does exist he is at best an absentee landlord,and at worst a sadist.

I don't see any evidence for the existence of god. I do see plenty of evidence for evolution and scientific reasoning.
If there is a god then we must be some kind of laboratory rats, which makes god a vivisectionist doesn't it?
God and religion were, in my opinion, constructed by man to keep order through fear.
A shame really as we are on the whole wonderful creatures.

I was a Christian up until I was 17.
I never "rejected" god, I rejected the idea that a god existed.
It never made any sense to me, and the amount of contradictions, hypocrisy, and intolerance made me realize that there couldn't be a god.
So, I guess common sense, logic, and knowledge made me wake up and become an Atheist.

The belief in God comes from accepting him, reading the Bible, praying . . . . . try it, specifically pray to have God reveal himself to you . . . . . . then see what happens. If you don't believe try it, the only thing it will do is prove you are right if nothing happens.
May God Bless all the Atheist's and anyone who doesn't believe!

Theist: Critical thinking based on historical fact, archaeology and evidence. As well as faith and the love of God playing a part in my life.

Yawn.....Godliness good, Athiests bad. Athiests are logical, Christians are sheep. Self-righteous twaddle.....yap, yap, yap....wah, wah, wah........GET OVER YOURSELF!!!! There must be thousands of similar questions posted on Y!Answers every freakin' day. Give it a rest already! Nobody cares. Why don't you take a stroll over to the Beer, Wine and Spirits section and surf around there for a while. You might learn something informative and useful.

I am an agnostic. Probably I would be a theist or Deist. I think seeing the hypocrisy, ignorant and hate of the major religions has influenced me.
