interesting article Sean, I'm sure I would have gotten more out of it had i understood it lol. i doubt many kids here will understand it either.

could you summarize that in 14 year-old kid words?

ummm.... no, actually. everyone should still read the article. i'll attempt to sum it up, but theres no way i can do it justice.

basically its saying that theres no way any person can understand everything, there are always going to be things that are just beyond us. so atheists saying their definitely isn't a god is invalid, because there is no way we can understand the universe enough to know there isn't.

just read the article a couple times if you don't get it, since my synopsis is terrible.

right now, i am completely undecided about religious beliefs. i have been leaning towards atheism though. i was just about to type a main point of what i was gonna say but completely forgot what it was, hopefully ill edit with something else. ha

One man suffering a delusion is insanity, Five million people suffering a delusion is religion.
Its a nice article though Sean, but i think that Christians are just as one sided as Atheists might be. I don't think think that one can be said is more one sided. I try not to be like that though, I'm not Atheist until i die. I'm Atheist until someone proves to me there is such thing. So far this fairy theory hasn't come to the plate.

Atheism makes absolutely no sense, of course there is a god, or at least some kind of higher being. I just don't exactly know WHAT i believe in specifically.

How does god make sense at all?

I'm not really into the whole religion thing. I'm not 'atheist' but i don't really believe in any religions. I'm on my own. I don't really care if there is a god or not, I'm already here, I'm not gonna waste my time worshiping some god dude, or bitching about if im here just because of science. I goto church on christmas and easter to make my parents happy, but i ignore what goes on in there. Whatever...

I don't think you should really just blow it off, i disagree with a lot of the catholic church but either way i believe in god, and of course the main question you have to ask is; if theres no god, who put us here? A god just makes sense, i don't really see god as any major church or religion sees it, in my mind no matter what god you believe in, whether you are catholic, buddhist, or whatever, its all the same god, and then that brings me to the question of whether or not i believe in heaven, if i do, then i think no matter what you believe or what religion you are, you will go there; although i'm not too sure about a hell. i still don't know much about reincarnation, but that doesnt sound any more farfetched than a heaven, so i really don't know what i believe yet, and i really doubt this paragraph will make sense.

not sure why there has been so many religion related topics lately, but i like it so i'll keep the trend going

quite a few of you have said you are atheist, and i'm not trying to convert anyone or something lame like that, but i just found this to be a really interesting article that refutes the claims that atheists make all the time, so check it out.

Maybe it's just me not being keen enough on the atheists' claims but I don't see what does this article refute. It's pretty obvious that the human perception is limited and there's no way we can learn the whole truth about the reality (although we're not limited only to the 5 senses as Kant states, we also have the reason which allows us to make assumptions and theories, prove them or expand our perception using technology).
