I never said that there is no god. I am an agnostic.
My problem with religion is the arrogance of people thinking that their religion is the true religion, when all most did to arrive at that conclusion was to be born into a society that practices that religion.
It is one thing to look at the universe, and nature, and think, wow - maybe someone did create this.
And it is another thing to take some bronze age mythological writings as the word of god, or the writings of a crazed vengeful lunatic on the island of Patmos...
I find it very interesting that it is always in the past that god(s) frequently and publicly interacted with people... never in the present.

it is a paradox for nothing to exist.
It might help you understand the atheist point of view if you realized that theism is not theos

interesting question but a better question is if there needs to be a reason for something over nothing why does it have to be a supernatural explanation like a god. every why question man has had,that has been answered, up to this point has been answered with a natural explanation. there has never been a shred of evidence,outside of a series of books written by primitive superstitious men and proven suspect,that points to a god. that being the case why do you cling to the beliefs of primitive men who had no concept of science over the advanced knowledge of today?

I'm starting to think that the reason you keep initiating these threads is because deep down you're starting to question your own beliefs.
