For starters: I would like to let everybody know I'm atheist. There, I got that out of the way...now... I tend to believe in only what I can see, or only something from someone whom I have 100% faith in. There is 1 person I know of like that. Since I only believe what I can see, it was difficult for me to grasp the concept of a God when I was younger. I gave up my faith in God when I was 12. Since then, I have noticed many things about religion. One thing I have come to notice is that some people who come from very religious families tend to dis-like you about 1,000% more than they did previously once you tell them you're atheist. Another thing religious people may push on you is their religion itself. It seems strange to me why people would want to change what I believe. I never have tried to push atheism on someone. Christians have told me I will burn in hell for not putting my faith in the lord. I don't believe it, you do. I guess we will find out eventually, just not now, who was correct. To each his own, I suppose. I find science to be a more realistic way of looking at the past. Yes, I am well aware that science has no side in this debate, but fossils do tell tales. I can only believe in something that I can see or know to be fact, but even so, I will never 'worship' anything, for the simple reason that I believe that your life shouldn't be devoted to anybody except those who you love, and yourself.
