I'll probably come back to this and post in more detail, but put simply:

I see no evidence what so ever that would lead me to believe in a god.

I know I have used the following analogy many times on this board, but it is one which pretty much sums up by beliefs.

Do you believe that there is an invisible purple llama living under my bed?
No. Of course you don't! Why? Because there is no reason to! Do you have a proof that the invisible purple llama doesn't exist? No. Do you even have any evidence to show that the inivisible purple llama doesn't exist? No. So why don't you believe in it?

The only real counter argument is the "I have personally felt God's presence" argument, and I'm afraid that that will never cut it with me.

The other argument against it is reffering to historical events which could not have happened without god's intervention, lets not even mention creationism (a topic not worthy of discussion), but other events such as the resurection of christ, and the great flood. Again, a lack of evidence causes me to discount these things.

"Modern theists might acknowledge that, when it comes to Baal and the Golden Calf, Thor and Wotan, Poseidon and Apollo, Mithras and Ammon Ra, they are actually atheists. We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."
-Richard Dawkins
