Betty,
I never question anyone's beliefs but I will say that politicians have NOTHING to do with my personal beliefs. They are of no consequence there. I hope that America will continue to be the home of the free and allow for every religious/non-religious belief as they have in the past. I believe that it is our Military that has allowed this to be the case and I thank GOD that they have done so. Have a wonderful week! YOU are a beautiful young woman.
Thanks,
Eds

Someone with the same Betty Boop picture asked this identical same question about a week or two ago.
For those who wonder why I am atheist,
I've always been an atheist. You ask what would convince me that there is a god. I'm not sure, but certainly open to any tangible evidence. However, the answer to whether or not god exists is unimportant to me.
Please don't quote me bible passages as evidence. Remember, this is my standard of proof, not yours. However, if proof were provided that convinced me god exists, I would change absolutely nothing in my life or my behavior.
I ask you the counter question: If evidence were provided that convinced you god does not exist (evidence according to your standards of proof), what would you change in your life?
Would you stop evangelizing?
Would you start sinning more?
Would you stop helping those less fortunate than you?
Would you feel that life is meaningless?
People can commit good deeds and attempt to avoid causing harm to others without belief in god. I never claim that god is on the side of America when discussing politics. God does not take sides, does he?
SO...why do you believe in god? I like to live a purposeful life and certainly would not do something if there was no purpose or pleasure. So if god does not exist, what would be the point in believing? Turn that around and so assuming god exists, what's the point? How do you use that knowledge in your life? Do you use that knowledge to affect positive change in the world? Is it not possible to follow the Golden Rule, do good deeds, and affect positive change in the world without believing in god? Please don't quote John 3:16 that ONLY believers enter heaven as that sounds like belief is motivated in some selfish personal reward.
I have no vested interest in god's existence. I do not see existence of heaven or hell as a reward or punishment. If you believe in god because you want to enter the pearly gates or wish to avoid the fires of hell, that seems rather selfish. Isn't the whole purpose of religious belief so you can become a better person?

actual; as this international of ours is below-going mega differences interior the climate kinds, loss of potable water, increasing inhabitants and much less and much less food to feed them with, coupled alongside with this international's loss of existence economic equipment, persons are commencing off to ascertain how much less, self-sufficient they are truly. hence of this and interior the sunshine of the undeniable fact that technology does no longer have the solutions (as as quickly as, assumed), persons are further and further, thinking no rely if or no longer there's a God. one element that any, sensible, rational, man or woman is commencing off to ascertain, is the fee and scope of the topics confronting us all, as we communicate. IF there is not any God then, we would desire to besides all, make our plans with the undertaker through fact this international is in serious concern, previous that of any human intervention to ascertain it in any, shape nor form. Atheism is barely for those cases while all looks nicely and the relaxing cases are on. Take that away and an entire, new, perspective permeates the recommendations. there is not any possibility in besides, for this earth to proceed on in its contemporary state with out it sliding right into a state of hopelessness. the cases somewhat, are a changin' !!!

*sigh* I wish it could be that soon. I just hope that when and if it happens that the people that are happy in their faith (not happy due to the power it wields) can find a new purpose.
I'm sure a lot of them would bend to political pressure. :)

Well I was waiting for this to happen. I myself dont claim any religion rather it be atheist, catholic, muslim whatever....I was raised a christian but that has no bearing on my beliefs today. My beliefs dont fit a mold of one type of religion. As far as political power...idk because when i look at who im voting for i dont say well i will pick this one because he or she is a christian...whatever...separation of church and state!!!!!!!

Sorry sweetheart, but right now, you are only 2% of the world's population, and I do not see how you can grow to 50% in the next ten years.
And I hate to break a lady's heart, but, invariably, atheists are the most hated and distrusted people in any society.
Admit it: you people are UN-NATURAL!
Pop! That's your bubble bursting.

Probably not, even if only for the reason that religious people tend to breed more than atheists.

Who cares?
Its only in America that the right wing fundamentalists have too much sway. They aren't the only kind of Christian you know.
