Topic: Why atheist doesn't believe in god. For one thing there is no substantiated proof.Why is it that all the bible carrying Christians insist that anyone that doesn't believe in god is just plain evil and and out to take over the world? I'm just a normal person just like most others, I have compassion for other people, I try to help when I can or deem needed, I don't try to push my beliefs on anyone else, I simply use my mind and try to think for myself. I don't even know that I'm atheist. I personally believe that there is some reasoning behind everything being the way that it is,,I would prefer to believe that there is just cosmic energy that does keep things in harmony. I just don't believe in the bible. It was written entirely by men (which tend to lie to suit their own needs, good or bad) and no one can present facts that prove anything different. On the other hand science can prove that things have existed long before the bible acknowledges it, even things that the bible ignores completely. I do know that there have been religions long before Christianity that don't completely coincide with christian beliefs, so are you as a christian to say that everyone that doesn't believe in what you believe in is doomed to hell even though their religion has been in existence longer than your own? What about the poor souls before your religion, are they all doomed to hell? The real truth is most people need something to believe in , just to manage all the stresses life posses on them. If believing in god is your way of coping with reality and it works for you ,, good,, go with it,, but don't condemn someone else because they choose to deal with life's stresses on their own with no help from your god.
