    Normally, I avoid religious articles by any means, as they usually end up in me getting overly frustrated because people are so simple minded and try to force their beliefs upon you, but I actually enjoyed this article.

    Part of it might be that I'm also an atheist, and I could see myself writing this, though I'd never have thought to have said things as eloquently as they were said in this.

    Anyway, you should give it a read. Its a good 10-15 minute read if you actually read the entire thing and don't just skip, but if I'm not mistaken, several members of the forum should actually enjoy it, and agree with it, as opposed to the common religious article which would leave you in a frothing rage by the end.

    Too sleepy to read it all now but yes i'm an Atheist too.Why i don't believe?Well i'm not an intellectual but i don't believe until i see.Maybe i'm wrong but that's how i think it.And i believe more the Science than the Religion too.And believing in God is just something that the humans need for explaining the unexeplainable.

    I enjoyed reading the article, it was a little comical at time, but I really have nothing to say about it. I don't really believe in anything either, science has been one of my interests since I was very young, just learning and taking in knowledge about the world around us. I think people choose to believe in a religion because can't just can't believe that they don't really go anywhere except 6 feet under when they die.

    In the end, science is more factual and provides actual evidence of the wonders that happen in this world and the reason why things happen, it's not some supernatural being controlling it all.
