No we were given life by our parents, before that we did not exist, once we are dead all life if gone from our bodies, when our brains die all our wants and wishes die with us, this is why life is so precious because we only have the one life.

Before religions there were no gods so atheism is the default, If atheism is not the default please tell me what you think is the default? Make that young people who could speak and fend for themselves but had not had any gods implanted in them. Yes fear would cause them to look outside of...

Unfortunately neither of us is ever going to find out if what I say is true or not, because we will both be dead, however, when was the last time something was made to happened in your life just because you wanted it to? things don't happen in reality just because we want or need them to we must...

I know we are all going to die and revert back to the state we were in before we were born because I have seen no reason to think anything else, if that's not real enough I don't know what is.

Of course it is.

Atheism is as you so rightly point out the default position, so in that respect yes I do go with the flow. What about Islam and Hindu to name but two of the thousands of other religions you more than likely reject, for no reason I might add because their claims are no wilder than yours..

No I was answering this. 'Because there is nothing easier than to go with the flow'. BTW, You still haven't told me how many religious claims you reject. I apologise it was not you I ask that question it was Colter, you could answer but I doubt you will, Colter most certainly wont.

What you call pessimism we call reality, if we face the facts they are easier to live with, if we deny the facts we must seek out religion.

Which it is, unless of course you can show otherwise, you can't? I thought not.

You keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel any better. You still haven't told me how many religious claims you reject, then again denial makes up 50% of any religion.

If your religion is true then it has nothing to fear from doubt because truth will out in the end. If anything I am promoting disbelief because religious people have no reason to believe other than personal belief, they believe because they want to believe and not because what they believe is...

If that's where you want to hang your hat it's not my place to tell you not to.

No you are too far gone for that.

Even now you don't know that atheism is not a belief it's a rejection of belief, perhaps that's why you are religious.

I noticed you didn't tell me how many religious claims you reject.

Fear is where religions come from, evolution taught us to fear what we did not know. There is no 'spiritual truth' because there are no spirits.

Of course I was a product of my family and culture that's why I know that what you believe did not come from anywhere other than someone else's belief and it has nothing to with truth or Gods. 75% of British people are not religious, why do you think that is? because they are not MADE religious...

By the time I was first told about religions I was old enough to realise they were all ridiculous, I was lucky because I know other kids who had it drummed into them.

I was never told that gods existed so I never thought about gods, I didn't collect stamps but I was never taught not to collect stamps, were you taught not to believe in everything you don't believe in? just because I claim there are little green men on Mars do you need to be taught not to...

What makes your version of events any more likely than the thousands of others around the world? will you admit that your parents and your country are the reason for you believing as you do?
