Looking for reasons and proof deities didn't exist led me to believe the opposite.Science can determine the cause of many things.Yet there is still no 100% positive due to the unforeseeable variable.Any scientific experiment can be duplicated hundreds and thousands of times with the same results though there is always at least one result which will differ then the others and for no foreseeable or determinable reason.Science has yet to find a means to explain away everything.I doubt it ever will.Whether one believes in the existence of a deity is entirely up to them.Life is but a journey the paths you choose to walk down are left to your own discretion when death finally finds you there is but only one thing left to do and that is to turn and see how you walked your road of life,who and what do you wish to see walking towards you.Self realization after the fact is wasted breathe.If you live life by the philosophy of if only you have lived no life at all.
An old man once told me.Never do anything you wouldn't desire to see your children doing.

I don't know if there is no god, but what made me turn away from following any? When I asked the question, "why are bad things allowed to happen?" and I recieved no answer.
So from then on, I now follow my own path. But I've always, atleast since I can think on the matter, believe evolution was the answer. Whether or not God(s) or the big bang created the life and let it evolved, I don't rightly care too much. lol
People say that they used to be non believers then something happens and they become believers, but they never give a brief overview of what happened to make them "find god".
In my case, it was my father dying when I was 12. I questioned, and received no answer. So I walked away. I am now 23.

Look at the definition of god - it's always what's left after you take out the things that science can account for. What you have today is a god who decides when k-capture happens and that's a very busy job - it's a huge universe. But it's hard to relate electron capture to actual "love of Og".

I realise that there is no god as defined by religions - that's not the same thing. If there is a god it is the group mind of the people.
It's fairly clear to me that religious philosophy and writings were created to explain what we see when we look inside ourselves. Unfortunately they have taken away many of the best abilities about being human and externalised them into a wizard figure, thereby removing our power from ourselves and making it ineffective.
We NEED these hidden abilities back under our control now, because the lack of them is causing the world to go to pot. Yes that's right - religion is the cause of most of the world's problems. We have never needed this cap on our abilities and we absolutely need to remove it now, so that we can understand each other and how to interact with our world on the level that we need to in order to save the planet from further destruction and fix what's wrong.

You might as well ask this a little more pointedly:
What difficulty did you suffer; in what way did God not do what you wanted which resulted in you abandoning Him? How is it that you were willing to think that God had set things up solely for your pleasure and that He would be at your beck and call in order to garauntee your happiness? Why do you suppose that God wants to be your performing monkey?

A complete, thorough, and understanding study of the Bible showed me that the Abrahamic religions were false.
The study of neuroscience, psychology, and computer science allowed the formulation of a proof against all forms of theism.
This does leave deism, admittedly, but as deism and atheism are consequentially the same, but deism invokes an unnecessary a priori agent, occam's razor suffices in principle to discard it.

The pre-christian people of the world who lived life without a dumb bible were far better off than the air-conditioned, manicured "paradise" of today. At least they made sense of things using nature, not a sky bubble.
