Atheist, before becoming an atheist what was your religion?What made you to become an Atheist ?
yes i am the happiest person alive. i could not be happier. nothing would convince me to be religious. religion is the pits.
I'm sort of unhappy to know that I will never see my loved ones again after they die. I was never really tied down in the first place by religion, so I'm not much more happier now than I was. Though I am just a bit. Its changed my view of the world. It makes me love more, judge less. It makes me want to learn!
I just realised that the idea of a god existing was really pretty silly.
Yes, life is good.
Peace.
=]
No.
How about the world that is infinitely more complex and perfect?
Absolutely not.
How about the vast, expanding universe?
No.
You know, I have NEVER seen a debate where an Atheist won. Ever.
We have 5 senses. And that's all we can get from the world. I can see, touch, taste, hear, and smell something. That's it. I'm limited. There could be a million more aspects to that thing, but I don't have the senses to experience any of them.
It's not a question of whether there's a god or not. That's never been the question.
There aren't even enough atheists to present that question.
Because you definitely didn't create yourself.
You just opened up your eyes and found yourself here. You don't even know why.
Human beings are not the highest rank of existence, and that's just something very foolish to put out.
Atheism is impossible to be proven, and SO easy to be disproven.
Now, philosophy is not an atheists favorite subject.
But take a look at just one philosophy.
One of the paradoxes of Zeno.
He proved that any movement- that includes the movement of time, molecular movement, atomic movement, the movement of a ball rolling across the street, the movement of my fingers across this keyboard, any movement- cannot exist. It can't be happening. And he proved it in a very simple, obvious way.
A man must walk from Point A to Point B
Point A--------------------------------Point B
It is impossible for him to reach point B without crossing the middle.
Point A--------------------------------Point B
He must reach that middle part to get to his destination.
It is impossible to reach that middle point unless he passes another point in the middle.
Point A--------------------------------Point B
He can't reach his destination until he passes that point. But it is impossible to reach that point until he passes a point in the middle.
Point A--------------------------------Poin... B
He can't reach his destination until he passes that point. But it is impossible to reach that point until he passes a point in the middle.
Point A--------------------------------Poi... B
He can't reach his destination until he passes that point. But it is impossible to reach that point until he passes a point in the middle.
Point A---------------------------------P... B
You can keep dividing that space in half to infinity.
He can never get to his destination.
I can never get to the keys on my keyboard.
I can never shut my eyes to sleep.
This also means time isn't passing.
Because in order for one second to pass, .5 of a second must pass. And in order for .5 of a second to pass .25 of a second must pass and so on.
It's all an image, because it's impossible to be happening.
Everything you see, taste, touch, smell is the image of Dunya.
Creation.
It's all a test.
Thinking, reading the bible, opening my mind
Yes
I finally had to honestly admit to myself that there was absolutely no evidence for the existence of any gods.
I have always been happy with my life.
I became an atheist because first I started questioning my beliefs, and then I actually did some reading on the subject. I don't think anyone can approach religion with an open and critical mind and not end up at least a non-religious deist.
I'm undoubtedly happier without religion, but it's not as though atheism has made my life perfect or anything. Life has its ups and downs for everyone -- believers and non-believers alike.
I moved to atheist over a period of years. My initial reason was that I realised that nobody or no thing was hearing my prayers.
Somehow, my brother became a born-again, and I have never followed any religion. Dabbled with Eastern religion, even saw some "inner light" once, but now I just believe in being kind, forgiving people, and enjoying life (the only one we will probably ever know).
Peace all.

Oh yeah; "What made you to become an Atheist?"
A deep respect for science and the scientific method as the means for arriving at the truth.
As to why i became an atheist, its because i read the bible.
Later addition.
Atheist all my life and happy.
my parents are christians but around age 10 or so i remember starting to doubt things. those same doubts are why i'm an atheist today. i cannot reconcile the ridiculous notions of the bible and refuse to buy into it.
i saw through it
yes
There was no one thing that convinced me no gods exist. It was a long process of questioning, looking for answers, looking into the nature of various religious beliefs, and looking into the nature of belief, itself.
"What made you become an atheist?"
Hmmmm.. Good question! It wasn't a conscious decision exactly. I just started questioning my religion more and more, and eventually I realized that it didn't make sense! I got more educated. I did research, talked to people and thought through religious issues. I also read more of the bible, which made me realize what a pile of total BS it was. Figured out there was NO evidence in support of the god hypothesis whatsoever, and the utter lack of divine intervention made me draw my own conclusions... Also, it was a part of growing up, simply. I stopped trying to delude myself and began to take responsibility for my own actions instead.
"Are you happy as an Atheist?"
Yeah. Yeah, I sure am. ;)
An awakening.
I'm happy as a pig in poo.
I'm happy as a human being. My atheism really has very little to do with my life except on forums like this one. I base my life around things I *do* believe, not things I don't.
Also, I've never had a religion.
I studied other religions, and found Christianity just could NOT be right for me.
Then the more I studied those religions, I realized none of this crap was possible.
And yes, I'm happier as an atheist than I was as a Christian by a long shot.
they say Christians are brainwashed when they are younger, but their parents till this day are still Christian.. so are the parents brainwashed? to me it seems like Satan brainwashed you guys out of Christianity...
parents are only trying to do what is best for there kids...
how often do you see a 40 year old converting to Atheism.. it always happens at younger stages of ones life..
Atheists remind me of a bunch of teenagers that think they know everything
they are in denial thinking they can hide from the truth... they want freedom and don't want to answer to anybody.. they don't want to be held accountable for their sin
Hosea 13:2 Human Sacrifice---ABOMINATION
Jeremiah 32:35 Sacrificing upon High Places, like Mt. Calvary---Abomination
Deuteronomy 13/ Matthew 23:15, Converting Peopleâ ”Abomination
Deuteronomy 4:15-16, Defining â ˜Jesusâ ™ as god--ABOMINATION
