No need to read the site itself. Just read the contributions from individual people at the bottom of the web page.

Thanks for the link. I think that these athiests are deceiving themselves. I think the main reason for people becoming athiests is sin. People fall into sin, because of our sin nature, and that results in guilt in a person's life. To try and get rid of guilt without giving up the sin is impossible so the natural response is to get rid of the God that says it is sin. If there is no God there are no rules except what you make for yourself. As immorality has increased drastically in the last generation, so has athiesism. I have noticed a real pattern over the last 30 - 40 years or so. Someone announces that they have lost their faith, and the next thing I hear about them is that they have moved in to live witth their boyfriend or girlfriend. Check it out yourself, how many athiests do you know who are in violation of God commandments in one area or another.

i checked out that site. it's makes a good point. but atheism is a religion. believing in nothing is still believing. the only way to be a true atheists to be someone who has never ever thought of how we came to be our where we are going.

I don't have to visit your web site or consult with anyone to explain my unbelief in god(s)..I use whatever ability I have to reason...thinking and deciding, with the best evidence at hand at the moment, what "facts" seem to make sense and what "facts" don't...So called "God fearing" people fall back on "faith" and the "unknowable mysteries" of their god to hide their lack of "facts" that make any sense.

i can think of many reasons why an atheist would hate religio\organised system of beleif...but i cannot understand how they can deny the existance of a higher power\God.
