I lost my faith fairly recently actually, and I suppose in my opinion there is evidence that there is not a god. I had some pretty bad experiences recently, and these kind of triggered something. At first, I basically said, "With all the horrible things that have happened to me in my life, how could there ever be a god that would allow these things to happen to me?" But then, I started thinking more about the rest of the world, and realized that there is suffering much worse than mine going on all over the world. I guess I just find it difficult to believe that any divine being would allow such terrible things as the holocaust, ethnic clensings, rapes, murders, etc., to happen every day, all the time, all over the planet.
In the words of John Coffey from "The Green Mile," "Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time."
