yes we exsist. and once you come to terms with the fact there is no god or devil you will be able to enjoy life. the pressure of sinning and going to hell(a place made up to scare people into doing what others want) animal live and do you see them worshiping idols?

I'm not atheist. But I'll take a stab at answering this...
Life? Well there is no real point to it. Really. From a religious point of view what is the purpose of life? To worship a God? Well why would a God create the earth just so he/ she could be worshipped, is that not a little big headed?
We can't change the day we die because its not up to us. Sure you can live a bit longer with medication.
We don't have to do something between birth and death. But I'd rather live a life and experience everything I could. Make the most of being here.
Do religious people know whats going to happen in the next few days? So what does it matter if people are atheist?
No one knows for sure how the universe formed. But that doesn't mean God created it. The sky is just space. Its only light during the day because of our atmosphere.
We have brains so we function. Its like cells have nuclei to function. Animals do have brains, for the same reason we do... to function.
These answers can be answered without a holy book. You just need to look past your book and not rely on it for all the answers. Not having a religion, you can still have answers for things. Usually scientific answers. And like you said its the heart that doesn't see the truth. You can't be 100% positive that religion is the answer.

I think you are trying to be funny by asking first "Do Atheist really Exist?" and saying in the same post "I do really believe that u existed." Do you think Atheists existed and are all dead now? Last time my doctor checked, I was still pretty alive. Do you know when the last Atheist died?
It might improve the quality of this discusion if you would re read your question, and try to give it some structure.
If you are just trying to make a statement, do not try to wring it into a question. Grammatically that is not always easy.
You seem to suggest that the fact that we live and that the earth, the sky etc. are as they are, seem to prove there is/are one or more gods. Some atheists call that the man-made-god argument. The fact that you ask those questions proves that you have an inquisitive mind like most people. It also proves, probably, that you are not very open to the answers we have already found. It certainly does not prove that there is/are one or more gods. The fact that you want something does not mean it is at your disposition.
We have already changed the day of our death since people in countries with a good health care live about 50% longer than let us say 500 years ago. That is one of the reasons so many muslims want to come and live in europe.
Animals have more brains (and feelings) than most people think. Science is right now discovering that we were not clever enough to know how and where to look.
I am very happy your are not forcing me to believe. Please send a letter to the nearest Malaysian embassy protesting the fact that a woman was held against her will in a semi-prison and is still being harassed because she wants to convert.
I 100% agree with your quote from the Koran. Your eyes see what is going on in this world, but your heart refuses to accept.
Ideas are instruments, people are more important than ideas.
Reasonable enough?
I hope I have been funny as well.
Have a nice day.

yes, you are correct. I DON'T know who made the planet and the sky. But it is a huge leap to suggest an all-powerful being that orders us to worship it created everything.
I don't know how a computer can send an email from one side of the world to another, but that doesn't mean god sent it does it?
The difference between atheists and theists (in my opinion) is that atheists will admit they don't have an answer, whereas theists will simply say "it's God's work" when they dont know something.
And what makes you think being an atheist means we can't change the date we will die? In fact it is the complete opposite. Religion states that God knows everything, past, present and future therefore God KNOWS when we are going to die (meaning it has to be an already set date).
Atheists on the other hand accept responsibility for their own actions and acknowledge that diet, exercise, well-being, health care (through science that religion has hindered over the years) can help determine the date of death.
"I just want to know how you had answers for these questions without believing in god" - Wake up honey, you don't have any answers to these questions either.

Descartes said cogito ergo sum - I think therefore I am. That is about the only certain thing in life.
People throughout the ages have attempted to find a meaning to life and have turned to some form of religious belief to answer what is essentially an unanswerable question. As an atheist, I do not believe that the meaning of life is wrapped up in religion. I'm not even sure that the question is worth asking. In my view we exist because we do and this is all we have, so let's just sit back and enjoy the ride while we can.

We grow old and die because it stops the world getting over populated. We r here to reproduce in our life times to keep the species going. We r more intelligent then other animals because we began to 1 eat meat & parts of animals that haddent been before 2 evolved the use of thumbs and 3 became the domonant animal so we had more time to learn rarther then, hunt etc. A heart is an organ that pumps blood around the body its the brain that has emotions in it and its conected to the eyes so what you said at the end is a bit contradicting of your self.

Yes atheist do exist and there there are two kinds. The first is the atheist by philosophy. The second is the atheist by practice.
The former lives his life on the premise that their is no god but nevertheless can have his life guided by higher moral values by synthesizing these values from outside the framework of organized religion. The latter kind can very vocal about his belief but does not live his life in affirmation of the moral values that logically springs from that belief.
In like manner there are two kinds of believers (Christians and others belonging to other faiths.) The first one is the theoretical believer and the other is the practical believer. The first one can be very vocal in announcing his belief and deep insight into the belief system that he has embraced. However, his life is short of affirmative actions supporting his declared belief. The second kind may not be articulate about his allegiance to a religious faith but structures his everyday as affirmative actions declaring his faith.
Look inside yourself. What kind of atheist or believer are you?

First off I live to be here, I didn't ask to be here I just am. As far as the sky goes I know I can touch it, and it's there and as for your god I know a god is not there. If you are not there where I am here and now then you are not there, you don't exist. If god exist I have IM, a telephone and he can knock on the door to sign in for a roll call since that is and will never happen it's safe to say god doesn't exist.

Well that's a big question. And the answer is: yes.
Okay then, lets drop the argumentative approach as my lack of faith is emotional not logical. I'm certain your faith comes from the same source. Since we can't convince each other by logic where do we go from here?

What might help is if you learn to write English properly. What you have posted is completely mixed up: bad grammar, bad spelling and incoherent sentence structure. It reads like someone who has little or no education. If you want to involved in serious debate, then learn the appropriate language.

To be honest there have been times in my life when I have tried to believe in god, but there is a feeling in the back of my mind that it seems kind of childish to believe that there is someone above watching me. Kind of like a fairy tale.
