Do We NEED God?

No, Phat, YOU "need" a god character, or at least the belief in one, because you think you'd be lost without it. Us atheists do just fine without this god character or the belief in one.

You do realize that we are just now entering a time where a good majority of people don't believe in god, right? You do realize that, throughout history, nearly the entirety of mankind has had fanciful beliefs of some god character, right? Or are you saying "everyone needs MY god" because you've determined yours to be the right one and your god just happens to be the one that will "save mankind from itself"? Do you have any evidence that there is a god character that will assist in this "dilemma"? Funny thing about that: only you religious people seem to think humans are "flawed" and that is merely because YOU can't measure up to your imagined sky creatures. Humans are humans and we do human stuff; some bad, some good. Some bad has come from god believers and non, some good has come from god believers and non. Belief in fairy tales has done nothing for the advancement of society, but it can damn well be argued that it put the brakes on society (the middle east before islam? The dark ages?).

Don't you think it strange that only apologists say this sort of thing? What do atheists say when confronted with this? I'll tell you: they say it's bullshit. I would go so far as to say that very few atheists are so because of this reason. It's an excuse thought up and proposed by apologists and apologists only. Why burden yourself so? Who expects you to "solve lifes toughest burdens" other than you and your imagined sky father? Take one bite of pizza at a time.

Do you realize now that you have projected your want for a god onto telling others that they NEED this god? Do you realize, maybe, that only YOU need this god?
