I am an Atheist. For me the idea of god is simple. Because I am a true Atheist. I know who I am, where I came from and where I am going. I am Proud to be a Strong Atheist. You sound like a weak atheist or a agnostic.
I think that if one does not believe in God then one should believe in goodness and embrace the Power of Positive Thinking. (That's a book incidently written by Norman Vincent Peal(sp?) who happens to be a priest.)
Who was the philosopher who said, the unexamined life is not worth living? If one does not believe in God one still needs to take time out for introspection, to ask oneself, am I handling things well? Am I making the right decisions in my life? Would I want my child or someone I love the most to make this decision? What will be the repercussions of my actions? What are my goals and will this choice help me to fulfill my goals?
I believe in the beauty of nature, only nature noting else. I believe in justice, virtue. I dislike the vice or evil. I see Reality, I am aware of my surroundings. I enjoy Reading and studying. DNA = Evolution (As you may know everything that is living has DNA: e.g., virus(with the exeption of retro-viruses, who have RNA), fungi, bacteria, animals(humans included), birds, insects, plants(all of them), and everything living.
God = Human creation(as in god was created by humans)
I do not believe in God, and I have never really seen a reason to do so. As Alex says; the main thing is that you rather believe or you don't. I do not see the world as something God has created. God is too vague, hazy and ambiguous for me. As far as I am concerned, I only want to believe in what I know, or what I think could be proven to be correct. When it comes to religion, I rather find evidences showing that holy texts can't be real knowledge. In my eyes, the Bible is as woolly and unrealistic as a fairytale. I will change my mind, if I get the proof that it is otherwise. I must say though that I find some of the religous messages to be very clever and reasonable. Especially the messages that say that we should be good humanbeings and treat another person as we want to be treated ourselves. I believe in that! ;)
