Out of curiosity, are 당신 atheist because 당신 don't see any logic in God 또는 because 당신 have been extremely hurt and don't see Him in your life?

Those are the only 2 options for disbelief in God?

Firstly, it would be illogical to be angry at something 당신 don't believe in. The whole "Atheists are angry at God" notion is, 의해 the definition of Atheism, impossible.

I don't know if there are any gods. It seems highly, highly unlikely to me given the information we have about out world that has been gained both through scientific investigation and individual personal experiences. I know that the Christian God as described in the bible (and any other deity from any other organised religion) does not exist. Those gods are man-made for the interests of men.

I'm an Atheist because Atheism makes sense for me in my life. I enjoy it and I feel it makes me live my life in a productive way.

I was raised in a Catholic family, but we didn't spend much time in church and I never really read the bible. It wasn't until I was exposed to the truth of all the hatred contained in the bible that I began to 질문 my faith and eventually discard it.

I never experienced any pain that would cause me to 질문 my faith, though. I just saw the bible for what it was and stopped believing.

Out of Curiosity, Do 당신 believe in god because 당신 see logical proof and/or evidence for his existence? 또는 because something really bad happened to 당신 and 당신 needed the illusion of a superior power that grants wishes in your life?

I don't believe in God for several reasons:

1) I've seen too much suffering and injustice in this world to believe in a benevolent all-powerful being who loves and wants to protect us. My grandmother was a Catholic, who helped total strangers and never spoke an unkind word to my knowledge. She was warm and gentle to everyone. Once, when an under-privileged stranger came to her door asking for money, she not only gave him money, but she also cooked him 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 and gave him one of my grandpa's shirts! She suffered a debilitating illness, and lingered on for three long and painful years before she finally died. If God really existed, why would something so terrible happen to someone so kind and undeserving?

I majored in criminal justice, and read about 더 많이 injustices in the world (i.e. kind people being victimized, criminals going unpunished). If there was a God, why would these things happen? While I was in the process of getting my degree, a childhood friend and a cousin of mine both died from cancer. Both were young, kind, and hard-working individuals. Both suffered immeasurably in the months leading up to their deaths. Where was God then?

2) I tried to believe in Catholicism like the rest of my family, but when I would go to church, I would see people there that had treated me 또는 my 프렌즈 like complete shit for no reason. The hypocrisy of it really turned me off to Christianity.

3) I have seen no scientific proof that God exists.

I respect people's right to believe in 기독교 (or any other religion, for that matter), but try as I might, I can't believe in God.

Oh I have my reasons.

1. Over religious freaks that try to convert people.

2. Wasn't raised in a house that encouraged 또는 seemed interested in religion.

3. Intellectual freedom.

It's both in my case.

I don't see the logic in God existing. The only way I'm willing to consider him existing is in the realm of an intelligent creator (of unknown attributes) designing the world and then abandoning it, which I still suspect isn't true. The idea of God as an overseer just makes no sense to me at all.

Nobody has ever provided any evidence that any gods, much less a specific god, exist. People believe in specific gods because of indoctrination from an early age, tradition, apophenia, hallucinations, fear of torture (for gods sadistic enough to threaten it) and other similarly illogical reasons. But to me there are no gods exist in reality; these are all stories, created for people who were scared of the world long before we understood it. Now we have no 더 많이 reason for these superstitions.

Yes, I think it's illogical, but I've seen weird things before.
Yes, I don't "see him in my life", but I've never seen 퀸 Elizabeth II either and I still think she exists. I've been hurt 의해 people and I don't doubt their presence in this Universe.

The actual answer is simple: There is no evidence of god(s). Isn't it strange how 당신 can prove everything else?

"Out of curiosity, are 당신 don't believe in Zeus because 당신 don't see any logic in Zeus 또는 because 당신 have been extremely hurt and don't see Him in your life?" <--the original 질문 and this version isn't a big difference in my opinion.

christianity, musulmanism, budism etc is the same to me: a mythology. in case of 기독교 an overrated one...
people used to believe in zeus(the greek god of the thunder) 또는 rah(aigyptian god of sun) because they couldn't understand from where these powers comes from so they created gods and started prayng. 기독교 is just the same: some people blindly believe in a "perfect" god to comfort themselves with some things that were told 2000-2500 years 이전 because they don't know from where we come from.

neither do an atheist but i believe in our cases we rather spend time learning about science and trying to understand the universe (these things are the answers) than just praying and go to the church every sunday. in personal level i don't wanna make the same mistakes ancient people did and i didn't see god just like i didn't see the invisible 담홍색, 핑크 unicorn in my life...

ps: sorry for the long answer and please excuse my poor english

Well,i have a LOT of reason but there are some :
1 : I figured how much hate,suffering and pain religion have caused (crusades,September 11,sexism,homophobia,witch hunt,anyone?)
2 : If God truly exist,he will be a sadist 또는 a asshole.I believe he be the two of them.
3 : The whole idea is funny : A invisible men in the sky who claim that he 사랑 you,but start war and send 당신 crap? yeaaaaah,right.
4 : If 당신 read the bible 또는 anything like this carefully,like i did,it's awful and horryfing.

Why don't 당신 believe in Zeus 또는 Allah? Just like the banner says, when 당신 understand why 당신 dismiss all the other possible gods, 당신 will understand why I dismiss yours.

Im 더 많이 agnostic than atheist...but theres just a lot of reasons

I grew up in a strict christian home, and at first that was ok. then I turned 12.

I'm 16 now and when I was a kid I kinda just went along with whatever my parents said was true, but when I grew up, I just developed my own opinion.

God was never there for me. Ever. So why would I want to be chained down to a religion practically being a slave for a god that may 또는 may not even be there.

AND if there is a god, he is cruel. I DO NOT hate christians, but I hate god. Charistians bow down to him and call him 'merciful' and 'forgiving' but if he was, why would people like me be going to hell? (That is, if its even a real thing) I definately dont see myself as a bad person, i havent done anything too wrong in my life, but if there is a hell, thats where im going. its unfair to send people like homosexuals and atheists to a place like that just for being THEMSELVES.

God is extremely cruel, and I refuse to be tied down to a religion, doing whatever god tells me to do. I'd rather stand up for what I believe in and go to hell then be something i'm not go to 'heaven'

Both reasons

In my case, its because I have found the idea of gods to be rather odd. How can there be a higher being, who can create entire worlds? I asked myself, and how can he be always watching? In all honesty i did try hard to think about it, and being raised in a religious family i wanted to believe, but in the end all any god is, whether it be God, Zues, Allah, they are all objects for control.

While the idea of heaven and God are nice and can help people, all they are are ideas. Something created long 이전 의해 people who wanted power and a manner of control over others lives. How this has managed to last all these centuries is also a simple answer. People Are Scared.
No one wants to face the reality of the unknown after death, thus they turned to religion, and religion has caused 더 많이 pain and death than anything else in the world.
The bible says that god created man, but that is blatenly contriticted 의해 science. Man has evolved through the ages just as any other creature has done
Anyway these are my reasons

Both of those reasons.

I really hate to be patronizing, and please no one take this offensively, but I think it's ridiculous that wars are being fought and people are becoming offended over a book of proverbs. It's just what I think, I'm totally open to the basic idea of God, I just don't want to worship it.
