honest question, mainly for atheists Options

[*CEP*]

i'm not the type of atheist that is completely against thinking that there is no 'God' and stuff. and that i shouldn't do this or that, because i don't believe in it.. yeahh.. i don't even think about how the world was created. heh :D

You see there was a mommy and daddy planet...

oh my O_O; haha
i'd like to know the end of this story. =]

[Winter]

I'm an Atheist. I don't have any comments on how we got here but for the after-death part... I think that we just stop living, we don't feel anything anymore and yeah, we end up rotting in the ground. Except unless of coz they cremate you. :D

[unicocira]

I think the theory of evolution is improbable. The chances of a big bang to create a whole entire earth that provides all the possible needs for lifeform is very...very..VERY small. A single leaf contains a millions of atoms. The chances of millions of atoms out of billions of atoms to somehow attract/collide together to form a perfect bonding creating a leaf is like 0.00000001/100000000000......

[littleswallow]

I'm Catholic... but I do believe in the Big Bang Theory too.

Hmm...

It's kinda out-of-topic but I'm guessing most of you here are familiar with the story of creation? That God created all things in 6 days (He rested on the 7th)? My friends and I think that a 'day' in that story is worth a billion or so years... I dunno... I guess that's evolution. It's just a thought, though.

I have no comment about the life and death thing...

LOL! Then they collided and their remains made baby Earth! AWWW!!!!

[omgah_itsmaggiex]

no, i dont believe in god, and thats my theory. i believe that the big bang happened, and then eventually we evolved into humans from other animals. and yes, when we die, we just die. i dont think anything happens to us. its like sleeping, only you never wake up again.

the reason why i dont believe in god is because its confusing me. how can one man up in "heaven" just randomly create a world where only 2 humans exist. they have children, only its all different races. ive seen painting of adam and eve and remembering them being white. so how can two white people have a black baby? or an asian baby? or a latino baby? isnt there proof that evolution occured?
everything is just so confusing. how are there so many different heavens? for example: egyptians, and christians believe in two different things. does that mean there are two heavens and more than one god? there is no scientific evidence that god existed. but when they do find out, ill believe it.

[rAwritsgWeg]

yes im an atheist

one reason is because there just isnt enough evidence to support the fact that god might be real

if this god is so great then why did the church have to use propaganda to get people to believe


also almost everyone who is living today disobeys most of the rules you should follow in order to go into the place you people call heaven

when i talk like this most people are like you believe in the devil

but how is that possible

if i dont belive in god then how am i gonna believe in the devil

a priest once said that you must believe in the devil in order to show ur full allegiance to god
other wise what isthe point of god being there
becuase without satan being there then everyone would be happy
i also dont belive in it because most of the time i see people in church it makes me laugh

when i went to see what people were saying in church it was quite wierd
next year the poeple who belive in christ will wage a war with any none believers
that means if any of you come to my doorstep trying to kill me for a reason in which not even you understand ill kill u with a smile on my face
religion is such a brainwashing thing that doesnt allow you to learn to your fullest extent

that is why i am an atheist
so i dont have to deal with al that stupid crap
i could keep on going but i want to see whta other people have to say

------------edit------------

maggie, one reason that me and my friend have looked into might support why we al belive in god

supposably all humans are connected on the same level of consciousness
therefore information is passed from one person to the next
that is also the reason for many of the words we use
when one person used "the" since we are all connected we all learned it at the same time
the reason that some people didnt learn is becuase they just werent smart enough

yes i may sound vague about this but i have to be becuz if i begin typing the whole theory behind it then it will be much too long

if u want to ask me anything about that theory and anything else, just pm me

[xosteffanator]

Umm...look I'm not very religous but honsetly I think God created us, bt then how did god get here.....maybe he came from explosion,but didn't god create earth? How could there be an explosion when there was no where for an explosion to occur...my he was created on...Saturn!....But I don't know-it's a mystery

[M16A4]

Let's assume God created everything that was, is, and will be. Why?

"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." - Galileo Galilei

[*mipadi*]

so, what if there is a God? In the case that there is a God and you didnt follow him or even believe in him, and there is a hell...than you would have to go to hell. But, if there isnt a God, and during your life you believed there was one..what is the worst that can happen? you have lived a hopeful, fulfilled, alltogether good life, touched ppls hearts, and gave them hopes and dreams, and then you can rot? Why would you choose to take that chance? I dont understand?

Because spirituality doesn't work like that. You can't just say, "Hey, logically I should believe in God to save my own ass, so I'm going to." If you don't truly believe, then you're not a believer.

[hiromi]

I'm just an apathetic atheist. Religion is something that I can care less about.

[vash1530]

im atheist and i personally believe that the big bang is a more probable theory than any religous myth. i also believe that, just like animals, once we are dead that we rot in the ground just like animals (unless you were cremated or something). Its a hard but true fact.

[*Libertie*]

You see there was a mommy and daddy planet...

Haha! XD Two pieces of anti-matter fell deeply in lovee...

I'm what you could call a "hopeful agnostic". I wish I could believe in a heaven or hell, but you can't force yourself to believe something if you, uhm, don't believe it. Believe me, I've tried, and it's very depressing. It sucks thinking that nothing happens after you die.

I was raised in a Christian household, my father pastored a church, it's not like I wasn't exposed to Christianity. But I can't see myself as being logical or even smart unless I have an open mind. That way of thinking eventually led into disbelief altogether. But I'm hoping that one day something will just hit me and I'll suddenly believe, because if I could pick one religion to believe in it'd be Christianity.

But in short, I honestly can't think of (or believe in) any logical explanation other than the world was created by natural means, and if we die, we die and that's it.

Yeah, that's the same thing with me. But like Dani, I'm hoping that one day I'll suddenly believe. I think it's nice to have a religion.

[Smoogrish]

I don't really have a religion, and I sortof believe in SOME god, but I don't really believe in creation. It just doesn't sound right.

[imm]

Is it also true taht y'all believe that when we die we just rot? That we dont got o heavena nd we dont go to hell, we just rot in the ground?

Well that's what scientifically happens to physical things that used to be alive, right?

And yeah, I think creation is basically too...unbelievable and that the big bang theory is much more believable.

[*xcaitlinx*]

Ok, is it true that y'all believe that we were created by either an explosion, or nature, or ina  natural way?

Is it also true taht y'all believe that when we die we just rot? That we dont got o heavena nd we dont go to hell, we just rot in the ground?

as an atheist, i don't believe that HUMANS were created by an explosion, i believe in evolution. (over time, we evolved from animals [gorillas, apes..?]) about how the whole earth was created... i believe in the big bang theory. and yes, i think that when we die we just rot in the ground. i think that the concept of heaven and hell was created simply to make dying seem less horrible, and so that back then people would be honored to die in wars and be sacrifices to God because they thought that they would go to heaven for their good deeds.

[cLinT_wEStw0oD]

I don't know what to think. But something that amazes me is how we even came up with all these theories. Don't you think its wonderful that a few people have an idea of what happened 15 BILLION YEARS ago? Most of us take this for granted because we have no idea how long this is. In numbers, 15 Billion years is 15,000,000,000. Thats 5,475,000,000,000 days, which in turn is 131,400,000,000,000 hours. The average life expectancy in the United States is only about 77 years. That means in order to live from the big bang today, the average american would have to live and die 194,805,194.8051948 times. Think you can manage?

[synthetic truths]

dude im not atheist but i do believe in the big bang theory....
i guess you can call me a bohemian type catholic. LOL

[The_AZN_Godfathe...]

I'm not atheist.

I don't believe that people just rot in the ground and die. Sure, maybe their bodies do. Here's some interesting stuff.

Ever heard about clinical deaths? There's been a lot of them nowadays. They're when people are "technically dead" but then they live to tell the tale. These people remember these experiences too. Most have had "out of body" experiences, in which they are basically a soul and they can see everything happening around them. Including they're body that people are supposedly doing an operation on.

Supposedly, this is proof that we don't rot in the ground after death, rather... we're a soul... and then, whatever happends there, we're not sure of. Wander around the world... reincarnation, who knows?

I'm personally thinking of reincarnation though. The whole, kids recalling where they died and everything. Totally agree with that.

I just thought that was interesting.

[vash1530]

^its not proof. they could be making it up or jazzing it up so i dont think that is that reliable.
