Four Reasons Why I Became an Atheist, and Why You Should Become One Too.

My opinions and views on life.

First of, I would like to say I am not writing this article to smite Christianity, or for that matter, ANY religion. I am simply writing down my views , and opinions. If you have a comment , be it compliment OR criticize , lets keep it civil. We are all people , and everyone is going to have different beliefs.

Well , lets get started! (Please remember, these are MY opinions! )

  1. Freedom

    Yep, that's right. Freedom is one of my reasons that I became an atheist. I was sick and tired of having to go to church, and all those other time consuming things that religion does.
    Honestly, I am loving not having to believe in a supernatural force , or a book that has been rewritten thousands of times to the point of complete uselessness.
    When I was a little kid, I used to believe in god, each time I questions him I would get a "Do not question god, he is real!" or something similar from my parents. On the other hand, in atheism , I get to believe in science.
    Science not only backs up its claims with PROOF , its clearly logical and MAKES SENSE! That's more than I can say for religion , which requires "faith".
  2. Sex

    Yep, you read that right, SEX! Not only can I have sex freely, and opening, I can also have it without feeling guilty , or ashamed of myself. Honestly, having sex is a natural part of living, and is a major part of the human body. To try to make it into a "sin" is just the most stupid thing I've heard in my life.
  3. Logic

    Yeah, that's right, honestly. God is not logical , he does not fit with logic, and he never will. He makes no sense, and of course, there is no proof of his existence!
    There is no Geological proof of the great flood.
    Adam and Eve could not have existed because fossil records CLEARLY show that dinosaurs and earlier forms of life came 3 BILLION years before humans.
    Evolution has shown that we developed from apes, we haven't just stayed the same.
    The fact that there are religions older than Christianity, why would Jesus come only recently, when humans have existed for roughly 2 Million years.
    "Angels" and messengers from God seem to only have appeared 2000 years ago, and very frequently, why don't they any more?
    There are bad things in the world, why doesn't God stop them, if he loves us with all his heart? Letting someone suffer relentlessly, when you have the power to stop the pain easily, is not love.
    A woman cannot have a baby and still be a virgin, simple as that.
    There are things that ARE impossible, even to God, such as: you cannot add 2 and 2 to equal 198, you cannot take 6 away from 2 without equal ling a negative number.
    If god is so forgiving, why did he create a hell?
    Why are children born dead, and with diseases and disabilities, they didn't do anything wrong did they?
  4. Christianity

    Yes, that's right , a religion drove me away from believing in anything at all. The whole... belief of Christianity , and creationism is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard. God created the earth in 7 days you say? Oh, and any proof of this mister? Oh, I thought so!
    There are so many things wrong with these beliefs, I mean honestly you might as well believe in SANTA and the TOOTH FAIRY, god has just as much proof of existence, that would be of course, NONE.
    Not to mention these "heavy" Christians, who go knocking on each door, telling you to convert into Christianity. These freaks tell me that I will go to "hell" , if I don't believe in god and Jesus, and that this Jesus character loves me so dearly, What do I say to such a profound thing? HOG WASH!
    Not to mention those "heavy" Christian mothers, claiming everything is "of the devil" , or "its a SIN! " , never letting there poor children ever have freedom, not to mention making them emotionally and physically stressed and scarred for life.
    In closing, I would like to say that these are just my views, and opinions. I hope I helped some of you , or made you really think about logic, and life.

Logic, tells us that nothing comes from "nothing".
Science says the universe started in a Big Bang, an explosion coming from a very very very dense pin head. Assuming its true, though even scientists can not really emperically prove it, still, somebody must have created that "pin head"..somebody must have caused it to explode.. who? Call Him in whatever name, but He must be God.
Be blessed, God loves you even if you dont believe Him.
