Is Atheism the true belief system of existence?

To me there is almost no proof God exists so why believe it?666BumbleBee666

Viva Orthodoxy.

I'm an Agnostic. However, today I was looking at a couple of geese as they ate grass, and I marvelled at their ability to digest cellulose. It caused me to think that the complexities of life must necessitate a god, but then I snapped back to reality.

Atheists reject the existence of deities.

A lack of belief in the existence of a god or gods is the default state of mind. For example, if a child was born in the wilderness and grew up alone somehow, it would never come to believe in god. People only believe in god because they are taught to. If god is real and requires that we believe in him, he'd make it easy. For him to play these games while the fate of people's souls are on the line is just sick.

Holy sh!t. Sure didn't take long for this to turn into a Ancient Alien thread.

Tbh, The pyramids have become a poor and overused example to argue with.

I respect Atheism, but I believe there HAS to be a higher power of some kind. I believe in God, and mostly identify myself with the Christian religion. I used to be an Atheist. There may be no proof a higher power exists, but there's no proof that it doesnt. Sometimes I think even if every religion out there is actually wrong, doesnt mean that a higher power doesnt exists anyway. I hope I worded that right.carljohnson3456

Christianity has been proven to be false.

True, I'd probably be a Buddist if I had to choose a religion.

I'm pretty sure there are similar video series for Islam. Just search for them.

While I don't think the Bible has been "proven" to be false, it still contradicts itself too many times for me to take it seriously.

My dude, at least watch the first video. He raises some very good points and uses the Bible as the basis for his arguments. He points out misquoted and misattributed quotes from the Old Testament which are used in the New Testament as supposed proof that Jesus fullfilled messianic prophecies. He also points out quotes which were simply made up. I'm telling you, the guy has some very irrefutable points. Just be open minded.

You would only believe in a religion so you can be told what is right or wrong?

Actually, there are three rules.

• Never fight on Holy Ground.
• Once a battle has begun, another Immortal may not interfere, i.e. each battle must be single combat
• In the end, there can be only one.

[QUOTE="carljohnson3456"] I wont even bother. I doubt the age old debate about religion has been settled via a YouTube video. I'm not close minded, but I've read every debate, heard everything, yada, yada. I dont believe everything in the bible. I dont believe a guy lived inside of a whale. I'm not a devoted Christian. I identify with the religion. carljohnson3456

You're contradicting yourself. You say that you believe (loosely) in Christianity. You can't do that. Either you believe or you don't; there's no middle ground. Also, how can you profess any degree of belief in a book that you know to be written/ made up by mere men? That's ludicrous.

As the more you realize religion is old world garbage, the easier it gets. I was the same way.

Agreed. Not everyone sees things in black and white. Imo thinking in absolutes is a bad mindset.

You don't understand. From the Bible's perspective - the Bible being the foundation of Christianity - there is no middle ground. The Bible does not say that you can choose which parts of it to believe and which not to. It simply tells you what to do and recalls events that it expects you to believe. For example, as far as the Bible is concerned, Jesus was indeed dead for three days and then came back to life. You can't choose to believe this event if you're a Christian; you MUST believe in it. That's what I'm saying.

Also, as I said, since you know that the Bible is written/ made-up by men, why believe in ANY part of it? You know it's a fairy tale. Your "reasoning" makes no sense.
