But what if I’m tracer?

[b]Literally anyone, regardless of what they actually believe:[/b] “I haven’t seen any evidence to the contrary.”

The latter of the reasons for being religious actually makes sense though. Without definitive good and bad who's to decide what's (im)moral?

[quote]What are some BAD reasons you’ve heard people give for their beliefs or lack thereof in gods/religion? Here are a few I’ve heard. [b]Atheist: [/b] “Christians don’t behave Christ-like, so there’s no reason to believe them” [b]Theist: [/b] “I wouldn’t want to live in a world without God.” “If there’s no God then we’d have no reason to behave morally.”[/quote] Without God there is no [b][i][u]objective[/u][/i][/b] reason to behave morally. There would be no objective basis for the value of life. All struggle regarding right and wrong would be purely subjective and vain squabbling. To condemn someone of their actions would be empty of merit due to no objective basis. To say “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness….” is empty of any merit. A tiny group of a species living on a floating rock shouting into the void “I matter and we are all equal.” The Void doesn’t care. The Universe carries on, unaffected. The idea of unalienable rights for all humanity is baseless. On what basis do you claim your morality better than the child trafficker? All over the Earth, animals and creatures dominate each other for their own gain. On what objective basis do you claim that Humans are special? It’s just part of the circle of life? To say that slavery and tyranny and oppression are all evil, what basis do you have that you know for a fact that such activities are objectively evil? Atheism has no valid answer for all this. There is no objective foundation to their arguments. It’s purely subjective and invalid.

Without god, he wouldn't be great, beer wouldn't be good and people wouldn't be crazy.

I just dont believe in a god cause I just think there is no god. But you do you

The main argument I hate from Religious people is the whole "Needing the threat of eternal suffering to not be a shithead." I feel like that says more about you as a person than it does about Athiests. Most people don't suffer from personality disorders and feel "empathy." I wasn't raised religious, but I still cried when I was 5 and our dog died.

If God can see everything, then he can see me when I take a shower. That's gay af lol

My reasoning for not believing in god is like this. I’ve gotten really depressed in the past year, and I started to think about why a god would make a person this way. What’s the point in making your creation desire destruction?

Doesn't matter. Both are required and necessary. It is by poor argumentation that we may contrast what is proper.

To get people around them mad as their main reason.

Atheist Theist Heist Eist Ist St T The point I’m trying to make? [spoiler]Its always ends up at a T pose.[/spoiler]

[b][/b]

My reason is I don’t wanna worship a god to save me when I don’t even know if he’s listening to me.

I put more trust in science than in religion. There’s a genuine rigor in one pursuit that is entirely lacking in the other. Physics and math are infallible, regardless of our ability to define them. But we can define them, we can prove objectively the rules that underly our reality. Proving them is not easy, but we can ultimately arrive at an answer. Religion, on the other hand, relies entirely on blind faith. Theists can completely circumvent any necessity for genuinely rigorous thought or research because, in their eyes, [i]God is Truth[/i]—so they don’t have to. It’s infinitely easier. It gives them a sense of purpose that they desperately need. It’s easier to trust that there’s a god, that there’s an afterlife than it is to accept the fact that we are all nothing more than a brain. A consciousness residing in the synapses of a mind hardly more special than a mouse or a deer or a chimpanzee. As our knowledge of science further progresses, as we finally get the full picture, it will be harder to justify a belief in any god. It’s already pretty damn hard, but eventually people will have to come to terms with their existence. Once you die, you go back to the same nothingness you were born from. What’s important is that you’re here now, and personally, I wouldn’t want to waste my life in blind adherence to some god written about in a book 2,000 years ago.

"I saw Jesus on a pancake"

I hear this a lot: "I'm atheist because God is a dick." That's arguably a fair reason to not be Christian, but it's a bad reason to be atheist - because what about the other hundreds of thousands of gods you could believe in?

what about, i have never seen God, therefore he doesn't exist. that is pretty stupid

People are people. People think what they do for whatever reason they may so choose. For example, when I was in school there was a nice and enlightened young man by the name of Daeveon or something with diverse talents and thoughts- he liked basketball and Bernie Sanders. He liked communism. Why? Because under communism everyone will be equal. Nothing more, nothing less. Do I have a problem with that? Of course not. Keep shootsing for the stars ma comrade. On another occasion while walking about I met a lovely woman with black lipstick and chipped black nails. She spoke to our crowd of 30+ on a river for whatever reason about body positivity. We eventually got around her. Why did she believe this way? I'm not exactly sure, but I respect everyone's opinions because everyone is different and that's okay please don't ban me. My point is, no matter how right or wrong someone is, they might not always have the most complex reason for thinking that way. That's okay though. Because that's them and we should love them for who they are.
