Atheism (wrong title, not sure what else to call it)
[I can't be atheist for one reason:] retracted
[Edited: I find it hard to dismiss the idea that the existence we experience from birth to death is all there is. Maybe 'atheist' isn't the word for people who are certain that there is no higher order of consciesness beyond what we are capable of presently.]
I sincerely hope there is some infinite being that can sense and appreciate the beauty in the vastness of both the Mariana Trench and the Virgo Cluster.
Our universe is 13.8 billion years old and there are parts of it that are so far away, the light from some regions haven't even had enough time to reach us yet. There's a storm on Jupiter that is waaayyyyyy bigger than the size of our planet as a whole.
Can you fathom it?
I literally can't even.
We may be but one of an infinite number of universes in existence, even though we [i]literally[/i] can't even detect all of the one we inhabit.
I sincerely hope that there is someone or something out there that can sense and appreciate the vastness of existence. I mean, we try, but our human sensibilities are incapable of truly comprehending the WTF-ness that is existence. I'd be pretty dissapointed if there was no one/thing that could. It doesn't have to be a creator/arbiter but I [i]reeeealy[/i] hope that someone/thing can sense the immensity of all that is.

I think what you are describing is called deism, I might be wrong though

2 RepliesDo I believe there is alien life out there? Yes. Do I believe in some higher thing like god(s)? Nope, I simply cannot believe that there's some white neckbeard fat man in his palace shooting magic beams everywhere, making life and ending life.

in our world, scarcity is what causes value. if our life here on earth is all we have, it is the most valuable thing we have.

5 RepliesEdited by Olomonachos: 5/18/2015 1:27:19 PMThe universe is very amazing and it keeps me wondering what else could be out there, I do believe there definitely is some other form of life out there. There is no way we could be the only one's here, even though we probably won't ever see the entire universe, it's still pretty cool to observe what we can see. If you think about the vastness and endlessness of the universe, billions and billions of stars and planets, it gets kind of scary, but it's so beautiful haha

2 RepliesThe reason I'm not really religous (I am a buddhist but technically speaking we don't worship a god) is because I look at the main religions and I see the suffering they cause, for example in the late 20th century the Catholic Church being opposed to birth control told africans that using birth control was more likely to spread HIV than unprotected sex bearing in mind they were given condoms to stop the spread of HIV and as a result HIV is now world wide and can affect anyone whenever all because of the religous belief that condoms were wrong. For more examples of this sort of thing, google zionists, westboro baptist church, IRA and ISIS as tgey all use there religions as an excuse to be complete and utter douche bags

6 RepliesI am a Christian. I believe in God. I believe that he created evolution. There are to many circumstances within my life that have happened for me not to belief. God loves us all, whether we believe or do not. I do not understand atheism. Why believe in nothing? It makes no sense what so ever that the universe exploded into being. It takes just as much faith to believe in nothing, as does to believe in God. The world be a better place if all were to believe in God. However everyone has a right to choose and I do not think you are stupid or ignorant for being atheist or non believer. I do urge that you go to a church a couple times if you have not tho. It might change your life. One last thing. A true Christian man is very hard to be but it is what I strive to be. Following the Ten Commandments is no easy thing. Besides murder and theft. In our world today you see sex ideology everywhere and people are way to concerned about what they want to make themselves feel better about themselves or make them a more important person. When in reality, we need to be trying to "be" better people. Try to become better beings. And to treat each other with respect and kindness.

It sounds like you're having thoughts along the agnostic vein. You don't know what's out there and the explanations aren't lining up with your thinking. Nothing wrong with that. I don't think we as humans are even capable of understanding the power behind the universe.

1 ReplySo because you lack intellectual depth and require more from the infinite things to do in this world, you believe in God? I really feel bad for you
