Hey!
Well....
DO you?
Me?
Certainly NOT!
To hold on to -- in THIS day & age -- such primitive and ignorant info as one "Creator" of physics, an afterlife, "Heaven" & "Hell", angels & demons [  ] is utterly insane.
Thoughts?
Later!

Why is it utterly insane to believe in a Creator of everything?

Some people just find it hard to believe that there is a person who controls their life. I choose not to believe, only because I'm afraid of being tricked into believing something that is false. Don't ask me why I chose not believing over believing, I just think it's the more logical choice.

I've never believed in God, and a book certainly isn't going to change my views on life.

Where do you get the absurd notion that there is a person controlling your life. God is the energy of nature - neither sentient or aware of anything, as far as we can tell.
Imagine a circle and a sphere. The sphere says to the circle "hey, can you spin like this?" and the sphere spins on its x axis. The circle says "yes, I can" and spins on its x axis. The sphere says "Well, what about spinning like this?" and it proceeds to spin on its y axis. The circle confirms that it can also spin on its y axis by demonstration. "Hmmm," says the sphere, "can you spin like this?" and spins on its z axis. The circle sees the sphere spinning but can't comprehend the movement whatsoever because, while a sphere is three dimensional, the cirle only has two dimensions and it will never be able to understand anything greater than itself.
We are three dimensional objects and there is a force spinning before us but we can't comprehend it as it is a dimension or more above us - a dimension outwith time, hence the eternity of God.
Remember, He gave man free will in the book of Genesis, so you can't say that you are being "controlled" either.

Are you crazy?!?!?!? If I don't believe in god, I don't believe in a book written by power hungry MEN (Human Beings, not god) who just wanted to assert this man, jesus to a position of power, and then ride on his coatails!
To me, the bible is a work of utter and completely useless lies and trash... And guess what, a lot of people believe that. A lot of people like to believe what they believe, and never change, and they call it being steadfast, me, I call it ignorance. If you can solidly prove your god exsists, then, and only then will I believe in him.
I'll save you the time... After all, at least I will accept another belief besides my own...

That's because to believe in God(s) you need faith not proof.
I personally do not believe in any God. I'm an agnostic, but interested in the concepts of Humanism and Deism.
