Well, I'm really glad to see this thread still open and it's really nice to see some people here who actually agree with some of the things I've said and respects everyone's views.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I fail to see how anyone has used nasty words or whatever. And I think this is developing to be a nice discussion, I'm sorry you can't take hearing both sides.

I'd be interested in hearing your personal experiences.

Well said!

Please read the above quote and STOP praying for me. I'm serious. And just because I didn't bother reading through the whole site that you posted a link to does not mean I am close-minded. I simply just didn't have the time to read it, and besides I have read the same arguments hundreds of times before and I find them to be very weak. Also, why are you ignoring my comment about your "your animals love God" statement?

God created you, and me, and everything in the heavens and the earth. To say such a thing about God, Who created you, gave you health, filled your life with bounties, gave you your family, pets, and all, is worse that insulting your parents, who have raised you with love and spent all these many years caring for you; this is just an example. God is the most compassionate and most merciful, but God rewards people for their good deeds, and punishes them for their wrong-doings.
Since I don't belive in God, why would it still be a bad thing to say something like that? And for a second, let's say your God does exist, he is not compassionate or merciful AT ALL. Let's take the whole pharao in Egypt thing for example. He kills the pharaos son because the pharao refuses to let the slaves go free, right? Now, what did the son have to do with that? If your God wanted to punish someone, shouldn't he have punished the pharao himself, who refused to let go of the slaves? But no, instead he murders an innocent child. Way to go there mr loving god. And then he forces one of the guys in the bible (can't remember his name right now) to sacrifice his son and stops him right before he actually kills him with his only reason being "oh, I just wanted to test you". That's really compassionate isn't it? And what about all the animal sacrifices? I'm sure the sheep who's blood were put on doors were all happy with it, because they belive in God after all, right popcornbird?

Aside from all the scientific facts and all the errors and contradictions in the bible I have several more personal reasons why I don't belive in a god. I have to bike off to school now so I cannot start talking more about that, but I want you all to think about one thing:

God must love wars.

Think about it... When two countries are fighting, let's take the USA and Pakistan for example now. The people in USA says "God bless America! We will prevail for he is on the good people's side; ours!". The people in Pakistan goes "Praise Allah! He will help us smithe those terrible greedy Americans!". Every side of a war says things like that and belive "God" is on their side. All wars are based on religion. It's the truth. Think about the crusades... Or the witch burning... Or anything! It's all the same...

Well... I gotta run now so bye for now!
