We are not *against* God- we simply do not believe in it.

I'm not against the idea of God. The idea is a nice thing it's the reality I have trouble with. I am someone who believes in truth, but truth is hard to find. I cannot say unequivocally that there is no God, but I can't say that there is either. The truth of this matter is there is not one single shred of actual physical evidence that supports the existence of one all powerful entity being in charge of the entire universe. I am a historian, and one of the first things you learn about studying history is there are no certainties. Facts have been compiled things have been studied, but any good history professor will tell we cannot be one hundred percent certain anything we are studying actually happened. So I have trouble basing any decisions in my life on an old book that's origins are questionable and was kept from public view for well over 1000 years. So to state again the idea of God is not a bad thing, it's the reality that I find difficult to support.

Against the idea of God is not quite an accurate way of putting it. I simply don't believe it and until somebody shows some honest evidence for the idea I will continue to not believe.
The idea that because most Americans believe I should believe is totally bogus. At one time everybody believed the Earth was flat and immovable. At one time they believed that the Sun was dragged across the sky by Angels, put out and dragged back to be lit again the next day by the angels who repeated the performance.
At one time everybody believed Gods lived on mountain tops.
I am not opposed to the idea of God. I just regard it as a naive belief and regard the believers as extremely dangerous.

I am an agnostic. I used to be an atheist for the same reasons as many have already stated- there is no actual proof of a god's existence. Believing in something without evidence, to me, is extreme. Which, after thinking on the matter, to believe there is no god(s) without proof of nonexistence is also an extreme. Both of these beliefs are based on theories, and have nothing to do with evidence.

I am not against the idea of god(s), and have no trouble with deists, pagans, etc.
What I am stridently against however is the idea that an old, mistranslated book written by men in grass huts being taken as the infallible word of such a being or that things written in that book that are clearly wrong as taken literally anyway and everyone else must be wrong (including logic and observable reality).
I am against anything that makes people hate homosexuals, women and other people. I am against anything that makes architects and engineers fly planes into buildings.

Atheism is just a feel good way to say I can do what I want because there will be no accountability. Justification for sins. There is soo much prove for God that even the smartest man to ever live Einstein acknowledged God. That just leaves the question whether Jesus was God or not. Jesus was/is God.

Not necessarily so much against it. My view is that why can't we just at least try to live in a world without worshipping that which we don't know exists for sure? Why not give it a try? Things could be a lot better. I think it's worth a try. Might make things worse and might make things better...but let's try it. Believing in God is one thing. But worshipping God and killing for God is a whole other ball game.

Im not against the idea of God. But i simply dont believe in god. for one theres no proof. Two, its illogical.
Also, who wants to believe in a god that would trick his own follower into planning on killing his own son? i thought murder was against gods will? jus because doing it for god doesnt make it rite.
Also, the dispute over gods has caused so many wars, what was that? Thou Shalt Not Kill? i guess theyr all going to hell then.
Sorry, but i jus dnt believe, anymore than i believe in the tooth fairy, santa claus, easter bunny, harry potter, or anything for which there is no scrap of evidence.
Oh and thats rite.. make US EVIL, NONBELIEVING ATHEISTS look pathetic by saying we dnt like god because it makes US feel better.

I'm in no way against the idea of a god. I don't just see the likelihood of it.
I am, however, very against the idea of God, because he's not as loving as his followers would like to believe, according to their own texts.

I'm not. I'm against the idea of being forced to believe in a God of which there is no proof.

No more then I am against the idea of Harry Potter or Santa Clause. AS a matter of fact, I am rather for the idea of Bilbo Bagons and Middle Earth.
