Are Atheists just close minded Agnostics?

well that's good but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do you and find what works and makes sense for you. you need to be honest with yourself if your going to have an honest relationship with God.

" What if all religions were inacurrate to varying degrees and it was deliberate to create individuality! "

Well, I personally think none of them are right. But here's the thing, most of these god claims are mutually exclusive, which means they can't all be right, but guess what? They can all be wrong and until one of them demonstrates the truth of what they say, none of them should be believed.

Isn't that where that faith thing comes into play?

And why do you think faith is a good thing? Do you usually go around believing things that don't have some evidence to support it or evidence to the contrary? I think faith can be a dangerous thing, believing things for no good reason can cause a lot of harm and has caused a lot of harm. Believe things for good reasons and if you do, then there is no need for faith.

The only difference between me and an atheist is I am just easier to convence. The Atheist just wants stronger evidence, and I really don't blame them. You can't make yourself believe in something you don't believe. You know there is no purple flying pig wearing top hats. No matter how hard you try you can't just say I am going to believe it . But on the other hand you can't make yourself not believe something you believe in. That is just how it is.

I do believe what I belief for a good reason, Granted it may not be a good enough for you , but it don't have to be. It only has to be good enough for me.
