Let's face it, he's not. No matter what you want to believe in, the fact is the chances of some guy creating what we call life and everything in its existence is very very low.
Religion is just an easy way to tell yourself why you are here and to reassure yourself if you do what god wants you'll have a wonderful afterlife. All religion does is cause arguments, war, and death. Sure, it can make people happy and push them through difficult times, but all that is doing is making yourself very close-minded and blinding yourself from the fact that we will NEVER know why we are here.
I was raised in a non-religious family, so obviously it was easy for me not to believe in god. And I know it may be hard for the ones who were born in a religious family to stop believing in him, but just think about the concept of it: Stories put together in one book called the bible from thousands of years ago can run your whole life? These stories for all we know could have been told by people with mental disabilities and have never actually spoken to what you believe as god. Those people that wrote the book and gathered the story knew nothing compared to what we now know about our world and the universe.
For the past years I have been extremely lost in why I am here, what's my purpose, what is this thing we call life. I basically see no purpose in life anymore because I think, what's the point? (and I have no thoughts of suicide by the way). I know the common thing to do for someone like me is to find god and find who I am in life, but honestly, in my opinion, religion is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard of.
I know I can't bash too much on religion because truthfully I don't know a whole lot about it. But I do know this, if god were real, and all of the things people say about him are true, then I, an unbeliever, would go straight to hell. This is what really confuses me because I'd like to think of myself as a nice and caring person yet I'm still going to hell, whereas someone who is a horribly mean and hateful person who worships god has a golden ticket to heaven....????
I think after writing this I am just realizing what I, or we, need to do. I think instead of worrying about the afterlife and criticizing people who don't believe what you believe in, we need to live life as much as we can while we have it instead of worrying if you are going to hell or not when you die. Be as kind as you possibly can to others and help others in need. I didn't need god in my life to let me know what's wrong from right, the human brain knows when things are bad and when things are good. If everyone in the world would just quit thinking about religion and focus their minds on what we know as right the world would be a better place.
I know this thread will most likely be locked (even though I followed the rules), but I don't care. I didn't come here to change what you believe in, I came here to let my thoughts out and maybe discuss our beliefs. I mean no harm whatsoever.

Say, I've been feeling a soreness around my testicles lately. Could you maybe examine them and feel them for any anomalies?
