Super Universe... do you believe in Vishnu? Do you believe in Zeus? Do you believe in Osiris? Do you believe in Odin? Do you believe in Quetzalcoatl?

Do you know why you don't believe?

I never realy understood the concept of religion. I was raised my entire life to be a christian and it never sat right with me, and now I dont want to believe in god because the idea seems silly. But whenever I try not to, I feel like I'm missing a safety blanket. I am starting to see every religion as a crutch to society, being the main cause of problems all over the world. In my search to understand these so called "Religions" I have dwindled down to one saying we all know of. If your friends told you to jump off of a cliff, would you?

I encourage you to keep looking. There are several of us here who are Christian-turned-atheists. There is a lot more to religion than you might think, and this is a perfect place to get an education. I have learned a lot since coming here. I urge you to jump right in here, and keep an open mind. I think you'll be surprised at the things you learn. I have been.

Well said, if anything this site promotes tolerance towards thing's you may or may not agree with.
A lot of people have complicated reasons for not believeing, bad experiences and so on.
One problem i have with those who do believe in God is their inability to accept any reason not to believe in God (personal experience i mean, people on here are far more mature about religion). It turns me further from religion as i feel if i were to join these people, i would be controlled, told what to think, to do. I don't know, its just me, maybe im just a bit weird?

You don't consider personal experience a valid reason for belief? Or am I misreading you?

I read it as it is his personal experience that those who believe in God have some inability to accept any reason given to them by those who who do not believe in God.

Religion just complicates things, for every one. Not personaly but because we all cant agree on one basic beliefe. I believe that there is no correct religion left in the world. Just like stories change by word of mouth, so did the very first religion over the many years humans have been exsistent. The religions we have today are very similar we just dont realize it, and there cant be a completely correct religion because there is no whay of knowing the very first one, which could in all reality have been false any way. So basicly, no person has any idea what the heak is going on.

Sorry, to clarify i mean personal experience may be a reason not to believe in God. As you know some churches are out there to make money, its kind of sad to see but is a reason to turn away from religion.
Also Mestemia, thats exactly what i feel sometimes, spot on.
