So, if you don't believe in God, you don't believe in nothing? How sad, that sounds like an animal.?

You gotta figure that for yourself.  Weak atheist or strong atheist?  Implicit or explicit?  "I am without belief in gods", a negative assertion, or "I believe there are no gods", a positive assertion?\n\nPersonally I am without belief.

I don't believe in God, and I feel absolutely OK. I don't buy the blackmail that if I don't believe, I'll be damned. Live a life of freedom and don't believe in anything they cannot prove you.

Is it fear? For me, no. As a matter of fact believing, for me, brings out more fear than not. If I believe, I am afraid I will be someday tested on that belief, where as if I didn't believe, there would be nothing to be scared of. \n\nRandomness of life? No. I still feel as if life is random, just a long series of events sometimes subject to change on a whim. Sure, I believe that is all attributed to God, but it doesn't make it less stressful, or meaningful to me.\n\nMy Parents? My parents were not of the same religion, and it was never practiced in our home. I knew my mom talked about God in times of trouble, and that my dad hated the idea of church, but other than that, I didn't learn it from them.\n\nAlways believed? For me, like I said above, no. I actually had heard VERY little of God until I was 15, and my parents put me into a Christian school, because I was a bad kid, and had behavioral problems in Public School. Thats where I first hear about religion, God and Salvation.\n\nGod gave me a shot, and when I'm dead, I'm dead? Yep. I believe all that I do based on faith. but I have no proof, and it is possible the scenario you stated could be true. If thats the case, what do I have to lose anyway. I'll be dead, and it wont matter what I thought anymore.\n\nHelp me sleep at night? Sure, a little. But I worry about so much as it is, and I have more to think about than just falling back for comfort on my belief. Thats not what real belief is. It should not be a crutch we use only when we want, or need it.\n\nBeliever to non, or reverse? yes. I was a non-believer, and now I am a believer. For me, all the proof I needed was how my life changed when I came to believe in Christ and have faith. I was a terrible kid, no conscience, no guilt, no shame. I was abusive to my little brother, our animals, I routinley made my parent cry. I lied, I cheated, I stole, you name it. And I felt nothing about it. When I became saved, it all stopped. And it didn't stop just because suddenly people said I had to, but instantly, it ended, through no effort of my own. I changed into a new person in a moments notice, with no effort, no work, no conviction on my part. That alone was proof to me, I had found something real, and it was given to me freely. THATS why I believe in God. From that moment, my life has never been the same, it has only gotten better, and I could not have done that alone.

I know there is a God. I didn't arrive at this conclusion by my intellect, for human intelligence is limited. Give up on trying to figure everything out, for common sense itself should tell you that you can't know or understand everything. This is not a matter of the head, but of the heart. Ask yourself this: "If God is the truth, do I really want to know the truth?" Our sinfulness makes us afraid of a holy and righteous God who we feel must demand an accounting of us His creatures. Atheists say they don't believe in God, but I don't believe in atheists. If they don't believe in God, then who are they so mad at? They claim wisdom and knowledge and call believers simple, but I see atheists as being extremely smallminded and limited. Did atoms and microbes not exist until some human came along who was smart enough to detect them? How small these people's reality must be! How futile and pointless their existence! I commend you for at least being openminded enough to ask? How foolish it is to think that one's ignorance is evidence! Thanks for not being that way, wisdom is not beyond the grasp of one such as yourself. There is a God; He is beyond human comprehension; He is absolutely holy, righteous, and frightfuly just. His awesome majesty and power is terrifying and he is completely unapproachable by vile, prideful humans. Remember I said that it is our innate sense of this reality that drives some to deny His existense out of fear of the truth. They can't face themselves and their guilt, and they can't face a righteously angry, holy, and just God whom they rightly think will demand retribution of them. What they don't understand is that this same God is also infinitely loving, kind, gracious and merciful, and that He paid the penalty for their sins and removed their guilt which was keeping them from Him. How? He gave us His only begotten Son Jesus Christ who took our sins and guilt upon his holy and innocent self and was put to death so that we may go free. Believe this, make claim to it as a FREE GIFT from God, confess it to Him and to others, then walk in peace from now on with Him, always trusting Jesus' sacrifice as your justification in God's eyes, not your own merit. Then keep on learning more of Him and growing spiritually.><>Sir Brian

A philosopher said there are four outcomes to not believing in GOD\n\n\n1. You don't believe in GOD and you have a good life, you die there is a GOD you go to hell\n\n\n2. You don't believe in GOD and you have a good life, you die there is no GOD and you just rot\n\n3. You do believe in GOD and you have a good life, you do and you eternally happy living in heaven\n\n3. You do believe in GOD and you have a good life, you do there is no GOD, oh well\n\n\nIt is better to believe in GOD then to die and realize you made a mistake.

No.  All an atheist is saying is that they don't believe in God.  One could be an atheist and still not believe in science.

If you don't have faith and believe, nothing makes sense.

There is no God. Get over it.

if you trully don't believe, then it shouldn't matter. Are you concerned because you don't believe, but you're afraid of possible repercussions (which, if you don't believe, how can they be there?)  are you concerned for another's damned soul?  don't be,  cause they don't care...cause they don't believe..\nit's like saying, "I don't believe in Santa, but I'm leaving out cookies, just in case"..

I don't believe in god . . . but if I did . . . I would give up unbiblical requirements . . . . such as lent, tithe, the cross, trinity . . .etc.

There are a couple steps of atheism:  Mild atheism; where a person just doesn't believe in religion because there isn't any proof. If proof were offered, then they'd believe. Or perhaps they just think that there's too much to be known by people, which is technically called Agnostistism. \n\nThen there's true atheism, which denies the existance of everything non-tangable. When you die, you decay in the ground. Your soul disapears. And that's that.

An atheist does not believe in God.\nAn agnostic assumes that there is not enough evidence in either direction to make a clear decision on believing or not.\n\nAgnosticism can also be defined in these ways:\n\nThe view that the existence of any god is unknown at present. \nThe view that any god's existence is unknowable. \nThe view that theism is incoherent (see ignosticism.)

Yes, if you didn't question His existance every now and then, then I would have to question whether you believe in Him or are just following what others have told you to believe. Questioning is a part of being human - curiostity, you must think logically and a lot of matters to do with good are not always logical, but I think that these matters are outside of our realm of understanding and I figure that it may be for the best. So yes I believe in God (don't really fear Him as much as some people) but I think it is healthy to question His existance to create a better, stronger belief.

I believe in God. But that has no relevance on a dogs intelligence. I know that when I say lay down they understand me. When they bark I have no clue of what they are saying. So in a sense they may have one up on me.
