Ok, I will say I am a strong Christian but I do believe that everyone has the right to religion but I don't really know much about others. But I will say one thing, science has always had cases where it is proved wrong and there are miracles.

Roccoharde : I will agree with you on that one. There has been times where science couldn't prove what just happened. Maybe it's just because humanity isn't smart enough or it truly was a miracle. Just like science however, religious does have contradictions.

Contradictions made by men. No man is perfect to your belief (I believe Jesus Christ IS perfect). The bible was actually made 100s of years after the death of Jesus (if you believe in him). It was oral tradition so it won't be 100% accurate but the idea is still the same.

Roccoharde : Yeah, exactly. That's what I was getting at. The bible has been changed so much through human error and just people changing it to their liking (trust me, it's happened) that I don't know what could be real and what's not. Obviously the Jesus part would be right and all that but other things could have been drastically changed over the years. We are going to have to continue this over PM if you would like to.

I'm an atheist, as my name (German: Godless Man) implies. I began to identify as an atheist on August 9, 2012. Before that, I was an agnostic. Before that, deist. Even before that, I was a Lutheran.
I'm an atheist today because I understand that there is no evidence for the existence of God. Before anyone says, "There's also no evidence against the existence of God," I'll say this:  There's no evidence against the existence of fairies. Do you live your life assuming that fairies might exist?

Roccoharde : You keep saying this but haven't yet delivered. Let's have some examples where "science was proven wrong" and "miracles" happened.

Everything has been proven wrong and I don't need to prove myself to you. If you truly think science has the answer to everything then explain how you are here breathing?

I would consider myself an atheist. I have many beliefs, I believe in Alien like creatures, the Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch, Magic, Ghosts and stuff, but I don't have a religion. I believe that we have always been here, the universe not us humans. I believe that before Dinosaurs there were other things inhabiting this planet and it has been progressing forever. I believe Earth started as a core and over time as the inhabitants died that they made the crust and mantel and such, I believe that we will eventually all die and contribute to another layer for the Earth. I believe we aren't the only humans, and I do not believe in God, because Dinosaurs sort of disprove him. The bible says God created the Universe and Humans in one week, well If that's true then Dinosaurs were around before God, because we didn't exist with them, and they certainly didn't die off in less than a week.

Roccoharde : I only asked for a few examples, or for you to expand on your claims, and you give me a completely nonsensical reply. "Everything has been proven wrong"; is that some wierd joke? It doesn't seem you have anything meaningful to say.

I'm one of those "atheist" things. For those of you keeping score at home, I'm an agnostic atheist.

I was never really religious, but I didn't start identifying as an atheist until several years ago. My best friend at the time took me to his church, and they pressured all the guests to convert to Christianity if we hadn't already. I had never really thought about religion until that point, but after that, I spent a lot of time questioning what I really believe in and looking up information about apologetics and counter-apologetics. I became familiar with a lot of the arguments for and against Christianity, although they weren't the only positions I considered.

After those few weeks, though, I had decided that I was an atheist, and that was that. I had no need to believe in a higher power, and I felt like I would be intellectually dishonest with myself if I subscribed to any organized religion. I started getting involved in popular atheist communities, and I spent a lot of my spare time on counter-apologetics. I don't consider atheism to be a religion, but some people certainly take it as one, and I was one of them. At some point, I was convinced that I had "seen the light," and I had to spread my arguments in order to help get rid of the "evil of religion." Naturally, most people don't care for having their personal beliefs challenged, so I could be quite a nuisance. So, yes, I have been looked down on, but it was more because I was obnoxious and less because I was an atheist.

In recent years, I realized that I had become what I hated in evangelists and apologists, and that if I claimed to be in the right, I should hold myself to a higher standard. I stopped confronting people about their beliefs, and I drifted away from the self-righteous atheist communities I had become a part of; it became clear that one's personal beliefs really shouldn't be any of my business, and that religious beliefs can genuinely help those who need something to believe in.

I'm still steadfast in my own atheism, and I'll defend it if necessary, but it's not my place to shove it down anyone's throats.

I'm not atheist I'm a Christian I believe every single thing in the bible and believed every single bit of it is true.

austipokedude : Please look at this GIANT list of contradictions in the Bible, and tell me what you think when you're done.

EDIT: Wow, that probably came off as rude. I'm not trying to be disrespectful. My goal is simply to try to educate you.

I'm an atheist. Mostly because i got tired of having to get up early to go to church every week to listen to some guy i dont know tell me how to live my life. Sh*t gets boring. There were to many questions in my mind that countered the bible. So one day i was like SCREW THIS! And i never went to church again. Lol, mostly it seems the super religious people get looked down on by atheists. But i have no problem with religious people. Just don't push me and you and i will get along fine. 

Atheist right here!

Yes I am. I am also agnostic. Some years back, I wouldn't be confident to say that straight out, but nowadays, I honestly don't care anymore and I also have no reason to believe any specific religion of any sorts. Besides faith, I can't think of a logic way to prove the existence of a God, no matter what God is it.

I'm fine with some things about religion and I even agree with many of the lessons that some of them teach, while I disagree with others, but I don't see any reason to adopt any specific religion and God as the truth behind something as big and complex as The Life, The Universe and everything else. Just because it's something that bothers you and might make you uncomfortable, I just think you have to be too presumptuous to consider yourself capable of knowing such complex matters, while being here for such a short time and being such a small part of the Universe.

I do understand why people care about that matter and I'm not saying you shouldn't pursue these answers if it really bothers you, but I still see that as being presumptuous, nevertheless. Nowadays, I don't consider myself, nor anyone I know, nor any knowledge I'm aware that exists, as being even close to be able to explain such a complex matter, so I chose not to care so much about something like that, it would only be a waste of my time. Instead, i decided to start worrying about something I think I'm actually able to understand and explain. I could still be wrong and I'm always willing to change my point of view, as long as there's a logical reason for me to do so, but today, that's what I believe in.

Cheers.

I don't believe in gods, angels, demons, or any higher power, but I do believe in the possibility of souls and reincarnation, as well as psychic phenomena.

I'm definitely not spiritual, though, as I look at psychic phenomena as being an unexplored science.

I have been an atheist for a few years now, ever since I really started getting into science (particularly astronomy and theoretical physics) and thought to myself that it is highly unlikely that any one entity could have control over the creation of everything and maintaining it. However, while this is my belief set, I have also always followed the teachings of Jesus, such as doing unto others as I would want done to myself and loving my enemy. I also admit the possibility that I myself may be wrong, and thus never really strike out against anyone's beliefs. It sort of annoys me how some atheists will go out of their way to be a nuisance to people of religion, which gives us a bad name. I also dislike it when people of religion assume that atheists are all bad people, since they do not believe in God. This happens with some of the adult leaders in my Boy Scout troop, and at times I really have to hold back my tongue when they say that without a relationship with God, people can not be good. I have always tried to be kind to everyone that I meet, so that assumption really is not correct. I do respect the new pope, though, telling how it is the virtue of a man that will get him to Heaven and not just his belief. Anyways, although I am an atheist, I do rather enjoy looking at the symbolisms of religion. For example, in a way death does lead to Heaven. Life is a stressful thing, and at the end of a long life there is finally a long, peaceful sleep. It can be interesting to think about. 

I'm a Christian but I just want to bring this up about atheists. This may not be you, however, in my school, practically EVERYONE is an atheist and do you know what happens next, I hear so much insults to my culture I can't even bear it. My so called friends challenge my beliefs and insult me and never respect what I believe. It really sucks and that's why I dislike most atheists. In my opinion, if you call yourself an "atheist, your calling yourself a guy who likes to tease other religions and stuff like that. If you aren't that kind of guy, well then yea but its just on my point of view. 
(sorry for all the atheists who actually respect our culture but almost all the atheists I meet in real life (except my relatives) have all insulted my culture  

so yeah, just laying down my opinion here. 

I'm an atheist, but within reason, I was born a Christian.

While I do believe that religions are somewhat nonsensical, I do think that people do need something to believe in when the time come that they need it. But I don't really need it, and I don't really believe that there is a God. That's simply my choice, like it is for people to live in a religion.

I personally believe that there's not a God, but I have no proof that there isn't, so I just respect the beliefs of others. I really dislike how other atheists are so elitist and must force their beliefs on others, but the same could be said to some Christians or other religions. I can't believe the amount of times I was asked if I believed in a God, responded as a no, and they tried to convert me. The same debate could be made for either side.

I don't believe in it, but I don't mind if you do, and that's how I feel a lot of people should be about it.
