There is no God. [View All]

[benburch]

A statement of my beliefs as a rational person;

I really hate to have to be blunt about this, but there is no God.

When you die, you cease to exist.

Before you were born you did not exist in any form.

Science tells us that nothing we know now about the Universe requires a God, or even allows one to exist.

No entity created the Universe, and none oversees it now.

I know many people want to believe that there is a God or that there is an afterlife, but the nonexistence of God and the finality of death give me great peace of mind.

The concept that after I die I might be judged by some entity that believes that I owe it some sort of obedience for having allowed me to exist is a positive nightmare to me. I'd rather oppose such a God than worship it, if it did exist, but, happily, it does not.

Now, my question; Why does what I know to be true threaten you in your faith? To judge from the way some people here deal with atheists, you'd think we had just cooked their pet dog for dinner.
