I remember doubting God from a very young age. What proof was there? Was there some strange old man sitting in the clouds, showering good upon those that deserved it? Over the years my doubt grew and I questioned even more. There are more questions remain unexplained about God than ever answered.
I am also quite synical about those who profess to be religious or regularly attend church but by their actions and words they are some of the most hypocritical people known. For instance, take the priests who abuse young boys placed in their trust. What about those who profess to be Christian but would walk past an injured or sick person in the street?
Then you have the major disasters, how could a God let this happen, why did he not protect the innocent victims? Why did so many people lose not just one relative but many? How can a person who has lost 22 members of his family believe in God?
As for how the earth was created, if you believe in God, then it was He who created it, even though science proves that the world has been here for billions of years. For example, Jehovah Witnesses only believe in (AD) after Christ and don't believe in dinnosaurs when clearly they existed. Adam and Eve, impossible!
My mother is very religious and so was my Grandmother, regularly going to Church, my grandmother played the church organ. I was forced to go to church, but I was not happy and soon stopped, preferring to go fishing. I used to look around the church and wonder if God was sitting in the roof, watching me. I used to think, if there is a God make me fall of my bike on the way home. I never did!
These are just my opinions and my reasons for not believing in a God.

I guess that is why it is called "faith". Once you start to question it, much like Father Christmas, you get disappointed

I think it is not true catwoman..
Because most religious people will accept that they dont believe in religion with their brains, they believe in it with their hearths.

Quoting MrX67: hehe,if only my brain could be enough for explain everything,hope urs enough for expend all question marks? |
I'm not Einstein to understand everything. Some things ARE too complicated to know all the answers, and it's ok to leave it that way. But my mind tells me that God doesn't solve anything.
