Why do some people go around talking about "God this and that" as if God controls their everday life? Realistically, we have free will and God is not going to interfere in everyday life. Look, if you stand in front of a moving train, God is not going to save you. I don't see God saving lives or preventing disasters such as car accidents, soldiers being killed in Iraq (Dang Prez Bush), or natural disasters. This tells me that we must rely on ourselves as much as possible. Science is important because that is how we develop technology and medical treatments. God may have created us, but we must do for ourselves as much as possible.

well, you've made a lot of assumptions here. While I do believe that God does not force folks into His will or worship Him, that does not mean that for those that do are not in His hands by choice and that He doesn't intervene in their lives, I can attest to that in my own life.
For all the atrocities around the world throughout time, there is one constant, rebellion. If you choose destruction, your life will self destruct. You're right, things happen and we can't be stupid like standing in front of a train. But that again does not = that God doesn't step in and excercise mercy, and often.
The Bible tells us that with our getting, to get wisdom. It is good to learn, science isn't a bad thing on it's own. It's when people assume they have gotten so intelligent that they know it all and can "prove" there is no God or creation, that there is danger. How many generations of scientists have thought such things that this= that and have 'evidence' to prove it only to find out generations later, it was completely wrong the way it was presented.
Who said there wasn't a bang when God created the world? These things don't disprove God, we are all still on a journey. But you know what I've seen in my meager years thus far? That things that were sworn off decades ago, are now being re-evaluated and found to reflect the perception many Christians had all along... while folks said they were stupid.
The reverence of God is the beginning of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Without that, the words out someone's mouth and their evidence are questionable at best. No one can really say that in the future, half this stuff won't be proven completely mistaken, but those who seek God see that reguardless of HOW things are, God still has power over it all.

Sir, are you not convinced that there is God? or it's just that you are disappointed of many teachings that is not relevant? You are not brain washed, you are just confused. Is there something that stops you to learn more about the Bible. There is something serious going on your mind that is why you want to become an atheist. Could you be more specific sir? Don't have to post here. Just e-mail me. Hope your still an open minded person to search for the answers.

People desire control over their lives. Ignorant people, who either are too lazy, too uninformed, or too unintelligent to comprehend science, look to superstition for answers.
God has never done anything - but people imagine both that one exists and that it causes circumstances, because that is as much as their limited intelligence can handle. Pity them, as you would a more severely handicapped person.

Of course god and Christianity are overrated. If they weren't, you would find books on these topics on the fiction shelf at Barnes & Noble.
