Why are you atheist?

Report as
My answers support Susan G. Komen for the Cure® What's this?

Because I choose to. Do I need a reason? I live in America, where I can choose to believe, or not believe freely.

I CANT ANSWER, limited in answers, so using your comment sorry lol

Why believe in something you cant follow or have facts to follow up with.
I am atheist because i believe in nothing, because i find the belief in a god just impossible, and well also i dont care. I am nice, help others, respectful, honorable, no fighting over something that actually doesnt exist in my opinion. If your religion will take me to a bad place just because i dont believe in it, well so be it. Im helping anyone i can anyway i can. I did right, i proved myself right. If a god will punish me for that, then he is not a god, or atleast not a good one. Enjoy life, dont use your time in something that might not even exist. Just be nice, dont waste time debating about to believe or not. Be nice, respectful and honorable. All religions in summary teach us to just... Bring peace.

Wow. A bit touchy? The questioner wasn't saying you gave to justify your beliefs, JYST wondered why you believe as you do
Report as
Sorry if I came of as a bit touchy. I just get that a lot, like when someone ask me my religious beliefs, and I say Im a atheist, I usually get a reply in a manner directed in disgust such as "Why?!" so after a while, I get tired of it.

Why not believe in something instead of just living for absolutely nothing? It's the worst idea any human has ever had.
Report as
I'm not living for nothing. Because I believe there is no after life, it gives me a sense that this is the only life I have, so I must live it to the fullest. Why live my life wasting my time worshiping something I don't believe in? Thats the worst idea any human has ever had.

Askdmagic8ball, I hope you will not inherit your mothers racist ideas.God created all of us, yellow, white, red, black, whatever, you didn't get a say in what race or sex you would be when born, so how can you think God would hold that against you? God looks into your heart, not your skin color. Be happy with who and what you are because it is a gift from God that you were born. Would your mother feel the same if you were Asian or Chinese? Just know that you are precious in God's sight. God Bless.

look at your picture....that sunset is evidence that God exists. It is evident from all his creation. Also it is best to carefully examine the bible in order to have an educated opinion about it. It was written by many... inspired of God..... which is why it is harmonious, although those people lived at different times. If what you believe involves your future and whether or not you have one, then it is worth seriously considering what the bible teaches. Allow it as well as the world around you get to know and accept Him who created you.

@Harry1dstyles does you heaven only have your religion? Are all other rleigions wrong or is it just atheists are wrong? And in your versio of paradise, anyone who doesn't follow your beliefs gets punished forever? Is that what the voices in your head tells you?
Report as
@jwsavant, How do you figure that the sun is evidence that there is a god? Besides thats a sunrise not a sunset. I have studied your bible with an open mind and that is how I have an educated opinion about it. I consider well my life and the world around me. You didn't get a single thing right. I wonder what else you might be wrong about. I bet you don't

I think we can look at history, and see all the persecutions resulting from religions and see that some of the most judgmental and intolerant people can be people of a religion. Theres still many people to this day who are judgmental if you do not follow their belief.

I think most evil in this world has been done in the name of religion. Terrorism, Inquisition, Crusades, witch trials, to name just a few recent ones.

For most of the last 2000 years Christians would have burned atheists at the stake.

Religion has done so much damage and it's right to be intolerant of it. And the more we combat religious ideas, the more we win. Atheism is on the rise, Christianity is in decline in the Western world.

I'm atheist I was born and never saw my mom why ? Bc she died when she gave birth to me
I had a sister till I was 5 where is she now if god loves her..? she died in a car crash with my grandmother
That's pain if god existed he would never let that happen .. What's god ? Maybe who knows maybe he exist but from 100% I give god only 1% he may exist ..
Many people every day die babies suffering sickness I mean just because you have a boyfriend when u get 13 you buy an iPhone and you buy a pair of shoes those are not signs god exist you should look deep on it ... Life it's deep... U judge it idk if god exist or not bc depend from ur life experienceSS
As for me NO he doesn't why? Look at the beginning of my paragraph ....'

No good evidence for the never ending case for god. 2000 plus years and people are still unconvinced- very bad detective work, incompetent workers, its a lie or a combination of those. The criminal organization pitching the deity "God" is vile and reprehensible. "The Holy Bible" is divisive and false. What reason would I have to be theist when, even if there were a deity, it makes no observable difference in our reality. I have not even been convinced there is a deity and people now want to start describing its qualities when I have no reason to believe they have been privileged any greater than I with knowledge of deities but the words of man and women who lie? I am atheist because I would know for certain that I am profoundly foolish for being theist.

I grew the balls to not be terrified of hell for long enough to learn about others beliefs( from them with an open mind my priest was so wrong on what he said atheists thought) and then realized how atheism makes sense .

I am not atheist because I wanted to be atheist. I was a firm believer in the Bible and the teachings of Jesus. At the same time however, I loved science. These concepts were at odds with each other, resulting in an unseen battle, where only one would prevail. (It wasn't a very fair fight).

This is why you see faith organizations so opposed to science education and college level understanding. It's like acid to the lies they are trying to sell.
