  It’s good to be skeptical, afterall, a sourceless claim isn’t worth much.

  It’s why you see a shrinking number of people going to church, yet seemingly paradoxical more causes of atheists going to church “For the sense of community”

    Why would there not being a god be a bad thing?

    It makes me proud that humanity clawed our way through stages of evolution and was capable of getting where we are now without the need of some overseeing being controlling us like puppets.

    If you see someone do good, it means they themselves did that. They chose to help, and not because some authority told them to, but because they are good inside.

    Of course, if the fear of being punished is the only thing keeping you from doing harm, then please stay a believer. But the big majority of people do not need that to stay a decent human being.

      I believe I already told you that I am agnostic, I do not claim to know for certain if God does or does not exist. However I doubt that he does. And I consider a universe without God to be terrifying more so than being punished by God for failure to act in a certain way. The problem with they’re not being a god, is that mean this world is all we get, it is our one chance to do anything, and nothing we do will ever be remembered not even by us. Because in a world without the Supernatural death does not mean that it just goes black, it doesn’t go anything. You just stop existing.
