Why don't bạn believe in God?

I'm a 14 năm old girl btw, so my reasons are based solely on my interpretation of the world, not bởi courses and classes and religious/atheist texts (though I do tình yêu Richard Dawkin's work!)

I don't believe in the magic man in the sky because he hasn't give us proof that he exists. I've also got such a huge ego that I can't bring myself to "worship," but that's another thing :P

I find that god is a fancy name for the gaps in our knowledge.

"Why is God considered an explanation for anything? It's not - it's a failure to explain, a shrug of the shoulders, an 'I dunno' dressed up in spirituality and ritual. If someone credits something to God, generally what it means is that they haven't a clue, so they're attributing it to an unreachable, unknowable sky-fairy. Ask for an explanation of where that bloke came from. and odds are you'll get a vague, pseudo-philosophical reply about having always existed, hoặc being outside nature. Which, of course, explains nothing." ~J. Coyne, 'God in the details: the biochemical challenge to evolution', Matire 383, 1996, 227-8, published in the Guardian, September 2005. Handily quoted from Richard Dawkin's "The God Delusion"

Delusion.

I'm 14 năm old girl too and i don't really believe in god because of the science and because of the lack of proof cuz i don't really like to put my faith in something hoặc *someone* that don't hiển thị signs, the message that the religions are telling to me is to believe and obey blindly and they are putting strict rule that we must obey hoặc if we don't follow the rules we will go to hell those rules are trying to change the human nature wich is not perfect if he reallly existed he will help us with the pollution if he really existed and he really *love* us he will put an end to the war that sever in this world. The last thing is that i can believe in science because it has physical proof and religion have only mental proof ( like people says that god talked to them in their dream) human kind is known to have a huge imagination. And before someone die the last part of the body that still is active is the part of the brain where bạn can imagine xD.

Religion is only bringing even thêm war :(

I don't believe in any gods because there isn't any evidence for any gods.

One of the biggest issues I have with the very idea of a god existing is that in order to believe in a god bạn would have to accept that it is possible for a mind hoặc consciousness to exist without a brain (unless it is an earthly god?).

All observed minds are products of brains, and although that is not the same as proving it is impossible to have minds without brains, it goes against biology, logic, and plain old common sense.

As for the Judeo-Christian god, I have other problems including his character. If the Bible provides an accurate depiction of God's character, then he is a psychotic, bloodthirsty megalomaniac (particularly in the Old Testament).

If there was a God..Why is he hoặc she letting all these kids have cancer? Why are they dying? Why are soo many innocents losing what they hold close to them? Children losing parents at a young age, people losing loved ones at such a young age? That's the reason I am Atheist. I just don't see how our world is like this if there was a God..

I honestly haven't seen much, if any evidence that any sort of Supernatural being exists at all, and lots of proof that he doesn't, for instance, evolution. It's backed bởi evidence and reasoning, and creationism isn't.
Also, a lot of things that have to do with Thiên chúa giáo don't make sense, like Adam and Eve, for example.
Also, as I think someone has already said, if there really is a god, then why are so many people dying, and why is the world so messed up these days? And why aren't thêm people's "prayers" being answered?

Another thing that I've found a bit confusing is how many religions exist in the world today. It doesn't seem as though all those gods would really exist.

Anyways, the whole thing just doesn't make sense. And either way, i'm not the kind of person who would want to have to rely on hoặc constantly look up to some higher power anyways. I think that I and I alone am responsible for my life, not some guy in the sky that I can't prove the existence of.

Religious texts contradict observable nature and are suspect. On an intellectual nature about the origin of the universe, there is no particular reason to believe in an intelligent designer. There might be one, but there's no point in believing in something for which no evidence exists. bạn can talk about the world being too complex to have occurred naturally, and bạn can say the world is too complex to be designed bởi any one being. Where did the designer come from? Why is a self-dependent designer thêm logical than an infinite past hoặc a universe that is itself self-dependent for no apparent reason? All bạn can really do is look at what the science suggests about the early universe and say which idea bạn find thêm comfortable, but it doesn't make sense to trust in the existence of something just because the idea is nice.

I believe that the idea of religion in general is based on a dark age view of trying to bring reason to things they cant explain... the idea that we carry on today with this stupid idea is foolish like people are in denial, it goes in the face of science

Also believing in a floating Siêu nhân type guy always watching everything is a little creepy, like a super-stalker O.o

It's not '' God ''. It's Religion in general. I just don't think it applies to the human race. Look at everything we're capable of, and look at everything we do to one another and what we do to the planet.


No amount of '' praying '' and '' living bởi the Bible '' can hoặc will ever change human instinct.


bạn have one life to live, so why not live it how bạn choose to do, and not bởi what some Boook says hoặc what bạn were taught to believe.


(yes I am aware aloat of people don't live bởi ever line of the Bible, but it's ALOT thêm than the majority)
