Not believing in god is as much a belief then not believing. Yes people need hope and they need all loving god to live in peace. You don't? Are you better then most people? All it is, is that you guys have big egos, "i don't need hope!", i am not weakling like others. Those trains of thought sound familiar? Deep subconsciously you probably think that way. That is your way to blame your unhappiness and give excuse to why you are such a failure. There are many ways to be better then someone else, for you it is laughing at believers.
But did it ever cross your mind to ask why they believe? Did it ever cross your mind that people are not stupid at least some aren't.
Mythology in those books is not meant to be taken literate. Have you tried to read between the lines? Try reading one of holy books
and seeing the message behind the stories.

i am not a believer and i certainly don't laugh at any of them i most have missed the memo that laughing at you guys was cool again. and no i don't have a big ego and yes i'm perfectly happy living my life the way i want and not being told how to live it. actually when i look really far into it its most "believers" that i see miserable in their every day life i wonder why that is since you just said that all believers are happy. i don't need your god to make me happy im already happy with out him so stop being a dumb a** and read your bible the way it is supposed to be read correctly and not between the lines thats how many side churches and false religions have been started by reading between the lines. if you have read the bible like you say you have you would have also read that it is a choice that i have to make for myself weather or not to believe in your god i have free will so deal with it and stop posting your rants as questions.
if you have something to bitc* about do it to some one who cares some people use this site for what it was made for to ask a question and get other peoples options on it

I don't laugh at believers. I try to accept everyone. I believe there is a God, but I don't believe the bible is the book with all the answers. Everyone needs hope and everyone wants peace. The thing that bothers me about "believers" is that if you are asked a question, you give back a bible quote. I don't want a bible quote, don't reference the bible, just give me an answer back in your own words. Mythology, as well as the bible, isn't mean to be taken literally. All are stories open to interpretation. That's where intelligence comes in, being open minded to know the difference, in whatever book you read. Everyone interrupts things differently and that should be okay, is everyone not trying to obtain peace, after all?

Just because I do not share your belief in a God does not mean I have any belief to do with God at all or that I am in any way smug.
You are quite wrong as well as rude, arrogant and selfish to think you know something others do not or that anyone at all benefits from having false hopes in what the lack of any evidence suggests is a nonentity.
My desperate concern for believers and the danger they present to the world en masse is no laughing matter I can assure you.

I agree with you that not believing in God and religion is in fact a religion b/c they're believing in not believing, but 'preaching' like this is not the way to convert them to God, they'll only see you as a hypocrite for being rude. While there are times I feel like telling people the same thing, I don't see how they can't believe in God when there is proof everywhere you look, it's not right to shove it at them like this. They have to accept God in their time, when God convicts their heart. They won't accept Christ over a Yahoo question, even if it may show them how wrong they are. Let Christ work in them, and just keep praying that He will. That's all we can do besides spreading His word.

I've always asked myself, "well, if there is a God then there can only be one God. Which means, only one group of "believers" are correct about the whole God, heaven and hell thing. Leading the others who beleive in a different God or being totally wrong and sent to that bad place that the correct believer knows of.

WRONG.
Believing in antecedently absurd assertions is NOT the same as disbelieving in them. If I say the room is full of leprechauns, and you say it's not, guess who has the "burden of proof?"
Or take the "teapot orbiting Pluto" analogy. Theism is like claiming that there's a teapot orbiting Pluto. We can't exactly conclusively disprove it in our current state of knowledge - but that doesn't mean that it's just as likely there as not.
"Believers" ought to get the above propositions firmly in mind.
But I deduce that you advocate a more "mystical" approach to religion, based on your statement that "Mythology in those books is not meant to be taken literate" (well, we know what you mean). Of course it's more reasonable to assume that obvious fables like the Eden legend are meant symbolically. Needless to say, once you start down that road - as "literalists" are well aware - you rather knock the bottom out of orthodox religion. Which is a good thing!

How ironic. Now I'm laughing even harder at you...
Because of course I don't have to believe there is no god, It's an undeniable fact.
And I know why people believe. They believe because relying on an outdated book of bronze age jewish mythology is so much easier than thinking. Religion is an intellectual crutch. Nothing more.

Wrong
No evidence = No god, or anything else for that matter. It doesn't take any jump of faith to not believe in something when you are presented with absolutely no reason that you should. The faith comes to believe in it without evidence. No evidence basically means that someone had to make it up.

Sorry dude, I prefer the Eddas as holy books over what you are offering. I don't believe in your God, I have my own.

You are assuming people who don't believe like you do, are ignorant of what you know, but it may suprise you how much us non-believes know about what you believe, only we are able to see the same things you do in the light of rationality and you see them in the darkness of indoctrination.
