I would never state there is no god as a fact until we can have solid proof against it, which as said earlier is impossible.
When i was growing up i was a really strict christian, and later on in my life i started forming my own opinions on god and making my own interpretations of the bible, which later progressed and i made more and more opinions on god that is not contemparary until i became an agnostic christian, then an agnostic diest, then a full on agnostic, when i realized how improbable it is that a god by these exact characteristics exists, and realized how much the bible emphasizes blind acceptance and not questioning god. Moses could have been a psychopath who wanted to gain ultimate control over the people, then other power hungry leaders could fuel it more and more. Eventually a schizophrenic comes around and claims he is the son of god (he was probably very charismatic), gains a small following, and dies
Im not that open to anything. I realize how improbable formalized religions are and push them aside, however there is still a minute chance it could be probable. I tend to refer to a "god" as a force that somehow created matter in a very small area, then that matter exploded and became the universe, and that force did nothing else ever. (Except possibly create more matter, there could be that).
With quantum physics we know that all outcomes are possible.
At a certain point you have to draw a line and believe what you see and experience. Nothing I've seen points to the presence of God, so therefore I don't believe God exists. I can't prove there isn't a six-foot-tall bunny rabbit called Frank hiding underneath my bed either (if we suppose he disappears every time I look for him), right?
Why do humans need to believe in something they can not prove or disprove?
I would rather recommend taking an approach based on an alethiological and ontological understanding in order to develop an epistomological conclusion.
Unfortunately most people prefer prefabricated answers that suit them or ease their fears.
A lot of leaders have pronounced psychopathic traits. Why should this preclude influential individuals from the Bible such as Moses, Sampson, or even David? Why do we continue to necessarily equate psychopathy with "evil"? There are positive and negative attributes associated with this personality type. Sociopathic strenghs should be recognized, sharpened, and channeled, as opposed to pathologized and vilified.
Antitheistic.
We can't know everything, despite our best efforts to do so.
But that doesn't mean we have to worship some great spirit in the sky, till the day that we die.
Accept the reality and act through reason, even though it is ruled by your passions.
As a wise asshole once said:
I'd rather be hated for what I am, than loved for what other people want me to be.
That's nice and all, until the day we die and see there apparently was some Big Brother scenario where all our actions were tallied, amounting to something greater than we could ever understand (beyond vaguely) until said time comes. Even worse if it involves eternity.
At times I find the idea of there being something after this life frightening.
