[QUOTE="IAmAnAgnostic, post: 68407600, member: 379495"] Some backstory might be helpful. I am 22, and I have been an atheist (or an agnostic depending on your definition) since before I was 14 when I lost faith. Why? It was a culmination of a number of things. I disagreed with the morality of the brand of Christianity I was raised in, strongly disagreed with my father who was and is very religious and finding no evidence to support my faith. Now I'd like to make one thing clear, I do not [I]want [/I]to not believe. There is nothing that frightens me more than death and consequently not existing, and religion obviously offers a claim to avoid this. But I simply can not force myself to believe something I have so many problems with. (which I can discuss if you people so desire) I guess what I am looking for is some evidence or philosophical reasoning on why God and more specifically the Christian God is something that should be believed and followed.
