How do you work that out? There has been absolutely no evidence at all to point to th existence of a god. Aside from some scribblings in books from ancient times, nothing. Atheists don't need to prove god doesn't exist as he's doing a good enough job of it by himself!
I don't "work it out" as such, I come to that conclusion because I dont think either me or you can answer some of the big questions.
How did the universe start? What created the molecules / particles (woteva) that made the big bang? What was here before them?
Scientists can answer, or at least make a bloody good guess at most things, but there are still some things which haven't been answered.
Haha! Must admit that made me laugh. I've already argued too much, I'll be quiet now. I don't try and enforce my atheism on others or mean to sound arrogant....religion just annoys me on a grand scale. Sorry.
On one hand, religion pisses me off something rotten as well, on the other it fascinates me. I've yet to meet anyone who I would describe as "religious" that annoys me. They tend to be quite calming individuals actually. What annoys me is when religion is used as an excuse for something else (war / violence / Celtic). And when people tell me I'm wrong. I've had long long arguements on the doorstep with various sects because of that line! I will state my opinion, I will question what others say, but I will never tell someone they are wrong - simply because how would I know?
I enjoy discussing it with people but I've never really talked about athiesm much, nor do I know much about it, hence the debate.
