A complete and utter lack of evidence for a God after years of tireless searching. Hence, why I no longer believe in God.

If a person is not even WILLING to give up their beliefs, then they can make no claim to logic or critical thinking. If your beliefs are true, then they can stand up to scrutiny and questioning. If they cannot, then clearly they're not worth believing.

rommel175	Posted Apr 12th, 2009 at 10:54PM it would take my death, and a different god than my own to tell me "HAHAHA YOU WERE WRONG!!!" even then, i might just say, "who cares? I've been wrong before." Rated: +3Vote for this!

CuriosityKitten	Posted Apr 12th, 2009 at 10:51PM I find it hard to give up something you don't have. But I wouldn't mind helping someone else see the "light". Rated: +1Vote for this!
tendersoul	Posted Apr 12th, 2009 at 10:52PM Why would you want too? You either believe in your "Religion" or you don't. The only way I would give up my faith is if I knew for certain in my heart that it's all a load of crap! Which would be hard considering I know in my heart it is the truth! Rated: +1Vote for this!

june1999	Posted Apr 13th, 2009 at 12:57AM I don't think there's such a thing. I saw a Q earlier about whether people who were left behind at resurrection would finally believe in Second Coming and I thought, No, I don't think so. This belief and faith is a stubborn thing. For me, it's already a part of me, something that makes me June. So I can not think of a thing that could make me give it up. Rated: +1Vote for this!
underconstruction	Posted Apr 13th, 2009 at 1:24AM My "religious beliefs" died the week my Dad died, and I went to see a priest about a Mass for my father. He only said I had to go back within office hours and I had to pay a certain amount to have the Mass celebrated. I never went back to that church, or to any church for that matter. That was it for me regarding "Religion". My spiritual growth and my spiritual beliefs are another story. Rated: +1Vote for this!
woodinhouse	Posted Apr 13th, 2009 at 1:48AM nothing I beleive in the trinity, and I also beleive that the Bible says there will be a time when people turn their backs on God, I believe we are starting that period of time, I plan on standing by my beliefs, and making it to heaven Rated: +1Vote for this!
