Hmm....why dont i believe in God? Well .....simply put I looked at the available evidence and came to the conclusion that there is no God....having reached that conclusion I don't see a reason to arttificially insert God into my worldview. To me God, Gods , religion and faith are all just ideas which humanity has come up with to deal with questions which science had not yet found answers to. As far as I am concerned science can now make better answers than the bible ever could and leaves little or no room for the supernatural.
For me, religion is simply a way of seeking comfort , but having decided that there is no God ( I cannot emphasise that point enough....I dont simply "not believe in God"; rather I "know" there is no God, in much the same way as a Christian "knows" there is one.) it seems a hollow comfort at best.
I really do think Marx's view of religion as the opiate of the masses holds true. I choose not to delude myself with that opiate

I wasnt being aggressive I was being humorous......for me the whole idea of God, Jesus, Shiva and Jehova all come under the same category as the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus....that is to say, a pleasant fiction with which we raise our children.
