Default Are You An Athiest?

I have come to not really believe in god and all of that jazz. I was brought up believing that God was everything and he always looked upon people but as I got older and my interest in science grew, I find it hard that they exist. I believe that god was created as someone to worship. Someone for people to look upon...kinda like a mentor. The religious people of many 1,000,000 years ago believed the existance because they belived that they saw them. I can explain this in many ways.

Armageddon to me seems more like the end of earth as a whole. Not in a religious way, but more of a "The Sun collaspes on itself causing a huge shockwave of radiation, heat, and energy that destroys our whole solar system" way.

You are looking at the situation all wrong we did not create a god just to have someone to worship, GOD created us to worship Him. and if you really are doubting God why don't you ask god to truly show himself to you, instead of living on what your parents have always told you why not try to get to know God for yourself.

I'v tried and 14 years of going to chursh didn't change much about my opinion on it. I'v gone to far into the scientific theory and I have seen no proof of a god.

I'm not really sure why you are looking for scientific proof that God really exsists because God is not science... simply put, God is God. What kind of proof is it that you are really looking for?

I mean I look at everything of being scientific. Like I believe in the scientific theory of evolution etc.

Of course there is osmething out there. Something that our senses are incapable to catch. But by no means is it religious loads of mambo jambo. How do you know which one of the religions is the right one? Are all the others it means almost everyone going to hell? No, because hell = non exictent. I'm very spiritual but I find religion ridiculous and I can't believe someone is ...... enough to truely believe it. Some guys made it up because they thought it was right, ancient rules, derieved from Hammurabi's codex. Jesus wasn't son of god, he was some guy who had powers, we have millions of them, etc etc. I believe in love, humanity, good will = everything you need to know about the other side.

'Religion is basically this...my invisible friend versus your invisible friend.'

I heard that quote on tv and really, it's true, and it made me laugh :P There's no proof that god exists (nor is there proof that he doesn't exist).

I'm technically Jewish but I have no interest in religion nor god, so I want to identify myself as Agnostic. I think that's where you acknowledge there might be a god, but it doesn't affect your life (am I right?).

I was raised as a christian but I am an atheist. However, I think God is a human invention because when you believe in something the world can be a lot less scary. But I don't understand how someone can really believe that the world was built in 7 days, that you can go to hell or that a guy walked on water because it is just a representation. It's an interpretation and I think it can coexist with the scientific explanation, as long as you remember it's just a representation.
