This thread's intention is to further explore the reasoning behind atheistic beliefs. As we all know, atheism and theism are fallacies of ignorance. If you don't know what that is, google it.
The question, simply, is:
How can anyone not believe in a God?
I am phrasing this question like so to fit the previous thread's antonym.
As we learned from the previous thread, if you weren't paying attention, people believe in God for a multitude of reasons, which include but are not limited to:
1. Pascal's Wager
2. Intelligent Design
3. Simply open to the possibility
So, atheists, please. I would like to hear your reasoning for not being simply open to the possibility, (at the very least) knowing fully well that both theism and atheism are unfounded beliefs. If you don't think atheism is a belief, fine. I still want to hear why you are an atheist.
Plenty of people believe there could be a God after looking at some seriously beautiful images. Here's the image that made me agnostic:
The Eagle Nebula
Rules:
No religious bashing. In fact, I don't want to hear your religion at all. This is more of a spiritual thread.
No science textbooks. Remember, they don't and can't prove atheism correct.
No Bibles. Atheists laugh at them.
No burden of proof cop-outs. Remember, agnostics don't claim anything.
This thread is not advocating any religion. We are not discussing religion or specific Gods, just the possibilities of a creator. I want to hear what made you become an atheist, when you really should be agnostic.
