be an atheist
Stop Worrying

I have learned that by being an Atheist I don’t need to worry about going to church. I can abstain from events like saying prayers before meals and bedtime. I can accomodate many people who’s religion would otherwise be in contradiction to mine. Stop worrying about the existence of a God or gods and higher powers controlling my life. Accept responsibility for my own actions and quit blaming the devil or god’s will for whatever happens in my life. Relax and do when I enjoy.

If God created the universe...

If God created the universe then who or what created God!

Can’t you see that an even more superior being than God would have had to create him, and so on and so on.

You might try reading the “God Delusion” by “Richard Dawkins”. He articulated how we came in to being in a very clear way.

Good luck :o)

Totally agree Work4Food...

It is right what you say. Religion often brings more conflict than peace.

It also creates more tensions.

Of course there are some benefits to religion, but I believe that all those benefits can be done WITHOUT religion so who needs it?

For example Atheists can be just as compassionate, kind, thoughtful, accepting, forgiving etc. Indeed being compassionate because I am a nice person is surely better than being compassionate so I can get in to heaven, which is surely a selfish reason!

True compassion without motive is selfless and more genuine, and also less warped by doctrines.
