Surely Christians think they get paid off, a nicer spot in heaven and whatnot, if they go about saying there is a God and praying and so on. Which is one of the reasons they do. Some of them even make money from other Christians. But why would anyone say there is no God, other than because it's the truth?

Isn't it Ironic, how big our universe is? How could we think we were created, and that all of it was made for us. I can't believe it will all be over when I die this time around. I can vividly remember at least 3 human lives and having chose to do another life path as an animal. Life gets taken from me often. I speak truth and those weaker minded can't handle it. We are building Paradise. Were doing a lousy job of it.

In the US we supposedly have a division of church and state. Which by all intent and purposes we think we do , but we don't. This nation was founded by Christians. And even they wrote it into laws to establish a divide between the two.
So they say it, because we can. We have a freedom that most places don't and that is the freedom of speech. Saying that there is no God can be said as easily as there is no dinosaurs...........People say there is no God because that is what they believe. As do the people who say there is a God.

God has made Him self known throughout all eternity. To say He doesn’t exist is like saying words don’t convey thoughts just because you don't understand them.
Understand there is nothing no one can do to get into heaven by works.
Getting into heaven is because what God in the flesh also known as Jesus did. Real Christians come to Christ (not fake Christians) because they realize what the savior did. He did what we couldn’t do for our selves. He reconciled us to God. You must understand the original purpose and the deplorable state of man since the fall. Men and women were created to be a physical expression of God. Jesus reconciled us to God, and took the entire wrath that a rightful judge would and must carry out. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life. But Jesus dies for you and me.
You can be atheist and have morals. Morals are good but they don’t get you into heaven. They don't save you from your do punishment of sin. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But if you ask for forgiveness and honestly want to change your ways God will for give you.
Know this that God loves you just as much as He loves me. If you would like for Christ to come into your life just ask Him. I promise you He will keep His promise.
Just believe in your heart and confess audibly http://home.swbell.net/cshann/index0.html.

Psalm 14
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Denouncing God frees one from the Religious establishment. You get to keep that 10% of your income that went to The Church. You can define for yourself what it means to be a good person instead of having someone else impose their definition on to you.
Saying that there is no God allows you to question The Bible and human origins without being labeled heretical - or more to the point - not caring if you have that label.
There are a lot of reasons to walk away from God.

As an atheist, I believe there is merit in telling the truth. Not because I fear eternal damnation if I don't. Certainly not out of that kind of self-absorbed fear. Fighting the good fight is worth doing in and of itself.

So you get the credit you deserve for being a good person instead of it being some man in the sky's doings.

Gain, for me. is involving education. No matter how much one can have 'faith', 'faith' can't change the world back to where it belongs.
