i tried so hard to believe in God, but couldn't. I have been atheist for ~2 years so far.but one thing I realized that I thought about afterlife, which shouldn't exist. then the fact that my consciousness will disappear the moment I died scared the shit out of my mind.
so Do I just stop existing? wow... that's just load of bs.

On a related note, I am seeing the musical "The Book of Mormon" this summer. Enjoy being jealous of me.

I am an atheist one because I find the whole thought of a creator to be stupid and idiotic. I used to go to church one because they had doughnuts all the time and they also had some damn good coffee. For a while I started to believe in the crap that was being spewed, but when I found God isn't for equal rights and never answers prayers I basically felt fuck this shit. The bible says "If a Man is Gay or a Women is Lesbian they will be cast into Hell." I have a gay and lesbian cousin so are they gonna go to hell? Why would I wanna promote that. The Bible also says "If a man takes his own life he will go to hell" my Uncle committed suicide in 2005 is he in hell now? Also would any of you be willing to sell your daughter into sex slavery?(Exodus 21:7-11)
Spoiler:
If you do believe in a God good for you.
tsk, you dont have to point out all the bad stuff on a certain religion, if it doesnt work out for you it doesnt mean you have to go apeshit and complain and go all the way to atheism, just try another religion.

Can we please stop having religion threads in SD? Every time I read one a little part of me dies inside and I lose some respect for humanity.

You cant trust a word in the bible, it is full of incoherent nonsense which contradicts itself at every possible opportunity. For example the new testament for the most part contradicts the teachings of the old testament. There is about as much truth in the bible as there is in 9/11 conspiracy theories.

I'm not sure as of now.. Maybe I'm kinda a deist?Yeah...actually I'm stuck between being an Atheist and Deist. Not quite sure which one I fall under yet.
If there was a creator, I believe that he doesn't constantly watch over us. Either he doesn't exist or he created everything, left, and let nature do its thing.
I love science, mathematics, and all that good stuff that uses facts/evidence to prove things. However, i'm somewhat skeptical of the Big Bang theory. Something about how a "cataclysmic explosion of a small volume of matter at extremely high density and temperature" resulted in the instant creation of the universe just seems...off.
The way everything works makes me think someone had to be behind it, created the blueprints for the construction of the universe.
As for the reason why I don't believe he is actually 'here' here, is because he must have a lot of time on his hands to pay attention to people's lives one by one. If God constantly watched over us...thats one hell of a babysitting job.

What I'd like to know is, if we're supposed to love out enemies, shouldn't Jesus/God do the same?
Yet, all you have to do is not acknowledge him to burn forever.
Seems pretty harsh.

I call this the "Homodeonoia Pentamimesis Theory". (It is Greek, look it up if you want. Every word part individually.)
Human nature wants these five things.
-Desire to recognize and interpret ourselves and others.
-Desire to have will power over external and internal forces.
-Desire to fulfill or neglect satisfaction of ourselves and others. (Also never being satisfied fully with anything tangible.)
-Desire to spread knowledge intentionally and unintentionally within organized or secluded groups of similar likeness or of contrast. (Also to be a 'part' of something or against it.)
-Desire to want answers to doubts and to achieve emotional, mental, and logical stability. (Hopefully without harm to ourselves and possibly others.)
It sounds to me like we have a very specific function; that is to serve man, serve ourselves, or serve something else. (Or any combination of the three.)

Call what I'm about to say is blasphemy, however I believe the Bible itself has been revised an inconceivable amount of times it's simply comparable to the growth of Shakespeare's plays, where a work like Hamlet has been extended from two hours of acting to thrice the original length. I also believe that no matter which church you go to nor the amount of times you go on a yearly basis, it won't necessarily affect whether you go to heaven nor hell; in the end we ourselves need to make that one decision, to conform to a corrupting religion, or to seek the lost/concealed meaning the Bible once had to offer.

Here's a theory:
In the beginning of time, there was nothing. Everything was black. Then a consciousness was born, known as God himself. In his mind, he tried to make something, but since he doesn't know what to create, he accidentally create giant rocks which is known today as asteroids! As he saw these 'rocks' floating about, he decided to create bigger ones, later known as the planets. He played with the giant rocks and then created the Sun, and then later created the Solar System. And then, he noticed one planet that was pure blue. After a few days, he noticed the blue planet turned into green and blue. He looked into the planet and noticed the unknown beings in there(Humans are still not there). Then he decided to create his own creature, dinosaurs. These big creatures lived long until he got bored with it; he tossed an asteroid to the planet(the meteor which eradicated them all). Then he noticed the Homo something. Interested in them, he watched them evolve and then came Homo sapiens.During their lives, God would sometimes do something for them or against them. Even now, this 'observer' is watching us in every moment.

Here's how it went down:
In the land before time, there was nothing (except tree stars and long necks). Everything was chill. Then a consciousness was born, known as God himself (he didn't have a name yet, though). In his mind, he tried to make something, but since he doesn't know what to create, he accidentally create giant rocks which is known today as asteroids (he then later decided in his first test run, he would make giant balls of burning ga- I mean stick his ancestors in the sky to watch over stuff)! As he saw these 'stars' floating about, he decided to create bigger ones, later known to blow the fuck up and turn into huge gravity sinks where things fell and didn't come back. Then he made rocks (huge mother fuckers, think like a hill or soemthing). He played with the giant rocks and then created the Sun (we weren't first, duh), and then later created the Solar System. And then, he noticed one planet that was pure blue. After a few days, he noticed the blue planet turned into green and blue (he must have been on shrooms or something). He looked into the planet and noticed the unknown beings in there(Humans are still not there). Then he decided to create his own creature, dinosaurs (little foot!). These big creatures lived long until he got bored with it; he tossed a hill-sized rock to the planet(the meteor which eradicated them all). Then he noticed the Homo erectus. Interested in them, he watched them evolve and then came Homo sexuals (KILL THEM WITH FIRE was his first decree as overlord).During their lives, God would sometimes do something for them or against them (not allow them to masturbate, but allow them to find loopholes in his laws in order to fornicate without procreation). Even now, this 'observer' is watching us in every moment (B-BAKA HENTAI!).
