Atheist/non-religious thread

Well maybe I will try to stay again for awhile. You folks here seem very cool.

Haha, thanks. I really like most of the people who have participated in this thread. All really great people.

This is a story. It’s not real.
We live on a giant floating space rock. It’s just weather.

Just weather?

Hmm. According to science, matter can neither be created nor destroyed. I agree it cannot be created by HUMANS. But somebody created it, or it wouldn't exist. It didn't create itself. Even scientists agree that nothing can come from nothing. Ex nihilo nihil fit.

Bit of a logic fail here if you'll forgive me for saying so.

That's how these threads usually go sadly from past experiences, anything where folks that go against the grain try to make a place to gather, others come in and want to debate. Sigh

I was not wanting to debate! Did you read what I said? I just wanted to know if it was a choice! I am so sorry if that is how you interpreted that!

Nobody knows! But there’s no reason to default to “god did it” just because we don’t have the brain capacity to figure it out yet. It saddens me that I won’t be alive when it is all figured out

You'll figure it out when you're dead.
You'll meet the person who created it.

this is basically 49 pages of us explaining ourselves for not believing god

I played a long some, asking questions back, but I'm bored now. I'm gonna start ignoring it

See, that’s what people always default to. Please provide evidence of this.... real evidence.

People can be so quick to judge, eh? And yet our God tells us that's not our job. I'm so sorry. I'm really getting a clearer picture of why y'all have turned your backs on Christianity! I just wish you could understand how "bad Christianity" has done a horrible job of representing God, because if you knew Him as He really is, I don't think you'd turn your backs on Him. A lot of you wouldn't, anyway.

Not to be rude, but do you really 'know' him? Have you had a conversation with god??? How do you know what he really is, if the only way to create a definition of god is to base it off of what other people and the bible say?

When my interviewer asks "what are your negative qualities" what can I say that isn't an automatic turn off?
