Why Atheists don't believe

- There is little to no evidence that any religion I have ever been exposed to is correct. There is a lot of evidence that those religions are false. Nope{ABE}: Keep in mind that I don't DISBELIEVE in the possibility of the divine. I simply lack belief in it. I don't actively go out and state that there is no god/god(s)/etc. I can clearly see that every religion I have been exposed to is false... but that doesn't mean there isn't some kind of god/god(s). However, I won't be believing in them until I see evidence. I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone can be rational and believe in things that have no evidence, because where do you draw the line? Should I believe in orcs, goblins, elves, pixies, santa claus, yahweh, zeus, allah??????I mean, if you are going to believe in one thing without any evidence why wouldn't you also believe in another?This message has been edited by SuperNintendo Chalmers, 05-11-2006 09:49 AM

Every religion makes some similar claim about why they are unique.

Jesus returns 161 million resultsSex returns 534 million resultsI guess I should worship the sex god.HAHAHAHAHAHA

What point? That the number of hits you get for a search term on google means something? I seriously hope that isn't your point.

Um, no he doesn't. There are billions of people who disagree

Have you ever seen the studies on correlation between intelligence and lack of religious belief? There is a reason that intelligence is correlated with a lack of religious belief; it doesn't take long for intelligent people to realize that most religions are ridiculous.(of course there are smart religious people as well, I don't mean to imply there aren't)One thing that I a lot of theists just don't get about atheists is that our lack of belief is just that. We place god on the same level as santa claus. It has little to do with morality or whatever (although I do think much of the "morality" preached by religion is actually evil)

I should have said all..... but Deism, Buddishm and the like (which may or may not be religions) aren't obviously ridiculous.Religiosity and intelligence - Wikipedia

I can see you still don't understand at all.Maybe this will help.....Atheists see god/gods/etc/whatever the same way we see Q on Star Trek. And Q could actually make me omnipotent.

No I can say the same thing about god (at least a non-deist god). I am 100% sure that the judeo-christian god does not exist. The Universe directly contradicts the existence of an omnipotent/omnibenevolent god.It's certainly possible that creatures like Q exist... but it is not possible that the judeo christian god exists.

We have a winner

Pure nonsense

No, I KNOW for a fact that your god does not exist. It is 100% obvious that someone made it all up long ago. Amazing how all those ancient myths resemble each other isn't it?You know god exists in the same way someone knows they were abducted by aliens or that elvis is still alive. I guess I should buy their BS too.

This ssntence is pure nonsensical rambling.You can't dissect my model since you admitted you don't even understand all the terms used!But in any case, I will leave you to your delusions. You are definitely an RBL thinker (restricted binary logic)

100% false.There are MANY kinds of evidence that can be examined and investigated by others. We can both examine a rock, a soil sample, etc, etc

No because you and I can both look at and examine the same table, chair, rock, etc. etc.Look dude, I have definintely been to harsh on you here. If believing in whatever stuff you want to believe in works for you then fine.my position as an atheist is that I can't 100% say that all possible gods do not exist... but I can say with 100% certainly that every god I personally have been exposed to does not exist. This is simply by seeing that the existence of these god/god(s) is incompatible with reality.
