I mean the Supreme Being.

I'm not an atheist, but neither am I a church goer who believes every word of the Bible. It's been changed too many times to fit the needs of kings and governments. I really don't understand atheism because it is actually a belief in itself, and no more provable of being true than it is in proving there is a God. I can say there is life in other universes, and another person can say that there is no such life on other universes. Either statement is no more than a belief.

First, holy books like the Bible are, IMHO, so full of holes that it is not even funny. They are clearly not the work of a supreme being.

Second, the incredible number of religions in the world suggest that either a) god can't get his message out in a clear and understandable manner, or b) there is a deep human need for creating and worshipping gods.

Third, if believing in god was the most important thing in the life then that god would be inclined to prove his existence so that no sane and rational person would have the slightest reason to doubt it. Clearly this has not happened.

A tribal leader named Moses started the belief in a 'one' God, as opposed to the many gods of other tribes or nations.
This has passed down the ages, we now have at least three 'Abrahamic' religions (Jews, Christians, and Moslems), that follow that belief, and all stem from that same source.

However, they have no more credence than the gods Shiva, or Zarathustra, and the great tree god, they are all born of man's need to have something bigger. Something to answer to, to look up to, to look over us, to explain the unexplained by simply saying, 'it is his will'.

Sorry, just my opinion. I might be wrong and God might be a great scientist who started all this, if so...why?

There is no explantation that makes any sense for him to have done all this. That's why I doubt.

Which God? Which Supreme Being? Evidence maybe? Beyond a book & claims of religious experiences? Maybe something that distinguishes your god from someone elses...!?... Maybe something that makes your god more believable than... harry potter...?

To answer, it would save me time if you tell me which God you're referring to. Then I can just explain that I think whatever God you believe in is imaginary for the same reasons you believe another deity from, say, ancient Rome is imaginary.

So for example, if you believe in Zeus, I believe he's imaginary for the same reason you believe Yahweh is imaginary.

1. No evidence.

2. All 'holy' works contradict not only themselves, but are always adaptations of older creation (or other) myths. Belief in 'God' is so eerily similar to primitive patriarchal superstitions and mythologies (blood feuds, vengeance, lineage, misogyny, outrageously childish explanations for natural phenomena etc, etc..) that I find religionists effectively disprove their own 'gods' (albeit unwittingly).

In a nutshell:

1) The universe is simple and abides by mathematical laws.
2) Lack of evidence.

Non imaginary things have tangible sources. There are no tangible sources for any god at all. So all gods are imaginary.

Are you just referring to the Christian god? I maintain that there are no gods at all, of any kind. And that argument is not with god... I can't and don't argue with non-entities.
