Strong agnosticism is the way forward and anyone who says otherwise is silly.
As those books consist of FACTS, you just completely failed to put forward a valid argument.Quote:

you're an atheist (i pressume.. correct if wrong) thus not believing in God aswell as lots of other people :)
I think that people look towards a greater power or god for comfort to scapegoat the inexplicable.
I think that as elements cannot be created or destroyed that they were always in exsistance and that our universe is in a black hole which explains it evergrowing and eventually in time it will create another big bang, erasing all exisistance before simply restarting the same process.
no i dont and never will.
Yep I'm an atheist, but I don't see how your point is the same as mine; I'm not an atheist just because there are a large amount of atheists. I was a catholic until I was about 16 due to my upbringing, and that was only because of my parents' upbringing. I started becoming an atheist over a period of about 2 years. At first I still hoped there was a god even though I really didn't think there was. It's only really recently I've stopped even hoping because I just know there isn't. Yes I know I don't have proof therefore I can't claim to "know" it, but it's just how I feel.Quote:

Sometimes I ask myself if God will ever forgive us for what we've done to each other. Then I realize, God left this place a long time ago.
