I used to believe in god.
Christians, do you know if you stop believing in god you will be happier than ever before. You will have hours of extra time each week to share with friends or loved ones. You will have more money to spend. You will not have to worry about being condemned. You can curse acts of god with impunity.
Aren't you tired of trying to reconcile the real world with a cosmic Santa Claus? Don't you get embarrassed by having to claim that fairy tales really happened?
Join Atheism. You have nothing to lose (except a lot of baggage) and you don't have to worry about a final exam!

We are but a speck of dust in the Universe.
Something could NOT have been around forever.
If your God would a benevolent he cure this insane world of super rich to abject poverty of barely sustain food and water, and rampant disease.
It makes no since that there would be a builder of a huge Universe take any special attention to us. These basic archaic beliefs that has, for the most part, led us into war.

Except my capacity for logic, critical thinking, etc.
I didn't choose to be an atheist. In fact, I was fighting tooth and nail to remain Christian when I became an atheist.
I did believe. I just don't believe now. And I don't miss that wonderful sense of knowing there was someone out there to support me because I realized it was my own strength all along.
---------
No, I left because the more I studied for the priesthood, the more I realized the whole thing is as fictional as the greek and roman gods, that the Bible was thoroughly inconsistent and thus meaningless.
As I said -- I didn't choose to be an atheist. I wouldn't have chosen to become one if it was in my power to choose my beliefs. I was quite happy with my faith. It was three years of pure agony as I watched the story fall apart piece by piece by piece the more I studied it trying to believe it.
-----------
If I could find that faith again, or have that faith again, I'd do just about anything to get it back.
You come up with something I haven't tried and I give you my word I'll try it.

That is silly. What do you tell the happy atheist?
Christianity (you use both "him" and a g as if god were a name, so I assume Christianity) offers very little in concrete terms.
Of course, I agree that atheists don't have nothing to lose.
Don't have nothing means they have something...
lets see, what could they lose?
Self-respect? Friends? Hope?
I'm neither, btw.

Yes, I'll be more than happy; I'll be ecstatic.
I will jump for joy.
All I need to do get dumb, and forget all that I have ever learned in science classes in high school and the university.
If I can somehow fool myself, I can believe in the Bible god, and get happy.
The question is: What is my priority, happiness or intelligence with honesty?

Wow, really, you don't say. Iv'e never heard it like that before. your sure i'll be happier? What if I just go to church on Sunday. Then during the rest of the week I can sin. If I do that will I be slightly more joyful then I am now?

I have nothing to lose except my sanity and my self-respect. I see no point whatever in believing in something that (a) cannot be shown to exist; (b) cannot lead to demonstrable benefits. You allege benefits, but cannot demonstrate them. If it makes you happy to believe in a fiction, I suppose that's fine; the asylums are full of such.

Using proper grammar and punctuation make me happy. God has clearly done nothing for you in that category.
The moral of the story? Don't push your beliefs on other people.

Why would I force myself to overlook evidence and logic to believe in an omnipotent super-being with the hope that he would support me better than he did those kids on the baseball bus?
Not to be trite, but there were Christians killed in Katrina and Kosovo, just to use examples that begin with "K"...
Where was their "support"?

"Things" don't make me happy... altruism makes me happy and strangely enough the Buddha taught me altruism far more clearly and logically than any other religion I've studied... oh and the concept of an omnipotent creator being makes no logical sense to me either. If it works for you, then more power to ya.
