It depends on the Athiest. U cant lump everyone together really. But to respond to Trauma, u said that Athiest have a problem with pride and believe that they are too smart to fall into a "trick". I dont believe in any particular religion myself. I couldnt say "religion" is fake...because as Infinite said "everyone worships something". BUT, pride is not the issue in the least. What i believe is that there are some things that ARE unexplainable. Some things that humans dont know, and maybe never will. To me, people use "God" as a cop out. An excuse to be lazy and just chalk things up to "God". Anytime a person does something amazing...along comes some religous person to say.."its the work of God". No...its the work of the person who did it. I dont believe in downplaying peoples accomplishments by giving credit to something, or someone, or whatever...thats nowhere to be found. I believe in science. Everything happens for a reason. There is no divine plan. If that were the case, thered be no reason to do anything with youre life. Like u said initially, i dont disrespect anyone. Religious or not, it doesnt matter. BUT, i can tell by yur post that u do think u are better in a way. Because u say that we are equal...EXCEPT for the fact that i have a pride problem. I say u have a "reality" problem. So i guess we're equal now. LOL. Also, how come no one speaks of the Earth at all? I dont worship the Earth myself lol. But still, the Earth is physically here (unlike "God"). And it makes its presence very clear (unlike "God"). Every single natural disaster that is usually "the work of God" is really the work of the Earth. The Earth has been here longer then human life has, and will continue to be here far, far, far after we are gone. The Earth could basically dispose of human life at anytime. Yet theres no way that we could possibly destroy the Earth (despite what any Green Peace people say). Like i said, i dont worship the Earth in any sorta way. BUT, it would probably make FAR more sense then worshiping sum invisible man in the sky lol. Well...i guess theres always Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, and the Boogie Man. LOL

^^ You haven't heard much about my chutch, apparently, LOL.  We believe the earth has a spirit,  as does every living thing on earth.  You're throwing a lot of assumptions against religion that just aren't true, because you're uneducated on it.

so if ur like me...just say there was a god...i don't believe that...but if there is a god he can't blame us for not believing in him...becuase all the things he supposably put on the earth proove to a scientist that he is not tru, so he asked for sum1 to find out things and contradict him anyway, and also...he would want us to have a happy life. i have a happy life not worshipping sum god, so will he be happy at that?

my main point in this post is: why did he make the earth like he did if he knew the intelligent life could figure those things out and use them as a contradiction to his sons word? so even if there is a god, even tho i don't believe it, he couldn't blame me for that anyway...

Trauma-san:
Actually,  you have a partial point, Latter day saints don't believe people go to hell for just being Ignorant of god.  You won't be punished if you get to heaven, and you don't believe in god, because you're just ignorant of it.  The people (for instance, latter day saints) who believe in god, know what he wants, and know him, but STILL choose to ignore his word, will be much more harshly judged.  You're judged by your knowledge.  Like all the people in africa and crap that never even heard of Christ, they won't be punished for that, what kind of god would?  And if you actually don't believe in God, then how can you follow what he wants?  He won't hold that against you.  It's kinda like, the only people that will be 'punished' will be the people who are bad at heart, and dismiss god, knowing that he's true (as in, turning from him, on purpose)... others, who don't believe in god, will receive glory in the afterlife (where it will be apparent god exists, there won't be a veil over us anymore, we will see all as it truly is), while others, who found god on earth, and did his work always, with a good heart, will receive an even greater reward.  That's how our whole outlook on it works.  People don't go to hell just because they dont' believe in god, or anything like that.  But those who follow his word and truly believe are blessed even more.
