What Makes People NOT believe In God? (Atheists Come!)

The fact there ain't any makes it a no-brainer.

Have faith my son.

Welcome to the forum, dragonman. Any particular reason why you dug up this old dead horse?

It died because it involves proving a negative. If you stick around, and I hope you will, you will learn how to present your opinions in a more logical and understandable way. This will be a valuable skill for you later in life.

And maybe if you're lucky you'll also learn how to deal with pompous, self-important people who give unsolicited advice.

At a very early age I noticed that there was something wrong with the people attracted to organized religion. I noticed that they stand around and lie to each other. I noticed that they said one thing and did another. Little kids notice a lot of things and ask a lot of questions that no one wants to answer. You are told to shut up a lot. I don't know if it is important to believe anything. I am here, and believing or not believing doesn't change anything.

One day someone took me to a Buddhist meeting. I walked in, heard the chanting and I added my voice. Now I have somewhere to go and be.

Simple. Life is simple.

Buddhism is not an organized religion.

Buddhists do not lie.

Buddhists do not say one thing and do another.

Buddhists have the answers to all questions one may ask.

What one believes actually makes no difference.

I see.

So, based on your experience ---

Buddhism is not an organized religion.

Buddhists do not lie.

Buddhists do not say one thing and do another.

Buddhists have the answers to all questions one may ask.

hmmmmm, I was going to ask if you actually believed all that you wrote, but I guess that doesn't make any difference either.

What rot.

You do appear to lead the life of the simple, I'll give you that.

Whatever gave you the idea that it is necessary to prove a negative in order for Atheists to not believe in God. Do you require proof to not believe in these gods neo?
