'Atheist's Whisper'

    Aah. Do I have to say things five times for it to get to you? I had a discussion on whether Atheism is a Religion or not, and we've come to believe it is one. I don't exactly have a Religion, because I wouldn't call it exactly a Religion, but I do believe it defines my beliefs. I know what I believe, I've looked up everything and pretty much define my beilefs as Atheism. I believe only that God doesn't not exist.

    I do research. I look for the answers. I don't 'believe' America to be this or that, I know America is like that. Facts are put together to form my opinion on this world, our country, and myself. What did I say that wasn't based on facts? Our country does have chaos, our country does have homeless people and kids starving, that is a fact. But I believe we need to stop paying attention to other countries and start paying attention to our own troubles! There is a difference between fact and opinion, see the line distinguishing the two? I see it from as many angles as I can. I see it from a kid being abused and being pushed aside, to my own view, to the rich folks living off millions of dollars. I'm not seeing it from America's point of view, because I clearly hate its point of view, so I look at others in this country. If you read up above you'd see I do put myself in others shoes... okay.

    I guess you've never been in my position, then. But just because you've never been underestimated does not mean I'm not smart. It doesn't matter that others acknowledged your abilities, what matters is that you are smart - not because other people saw that. There is a difference between truth, knowing, and belief. You're just reading it all wrong. Like I said in my first paragraph, I have my opinion on what things should be like, but I know the facts of how things are at this moment. So I have no idea where you are getting some of these things about what I'm saying is what I believe, because there is a clear line between fact and opinion, just distinguish it. There is so many flaws in Religion that a entitys' own existance is outrageous. I've seen proof that supports the fact that we all living things have developed from cyanobacteria, being developed from ancestory of an Ape, and that some of the things in the Bible are wrong. So, in my opinion, I don't think that God exists. The facts are what I based my opinion on. Belief is what we all have left.

    "I guess you've never been in my position, then."

    I wouldn't count on that if I were you. You don't know my story, and you don't know me. You think you had a rough life, try living mine. I never had a good day until I moved up here to Canada. I didn't have a childhood. All I had were broken memories of a life I had lived. I was born in Trinidad. A small island full of corupted politics and crime. Outsiders see it as a beautiful island paradise, but that's far from the truth. My parents were in University when they had me. I was never planned. I was treated like the accident I was. So don't tell me you had a rough life.

    You must be researching the wrong information because you would clearly see that America has the ability to fend for itself. They have more than enough money to support their people, but all of that money is spend on Military. The military is spending their time in a country that doesn't even want them there. Why? Because America is protecting their oil. Not because they want to help. If you looked at it from an Iraqi's point of view, you would see, America is not welcomed there. You 'believe' they are, and that's your opinion. The fact is, America shouldn't even be there.

    Cyanobacteria cannot prove God does not exist, because first of all, those are theories. Evolution is a theory and isn't proven. And even if it was, how did the apes get there? Magic?.. Oh wait, the Big Bang? Which is also a theory and still cannot be proven. Science is just as oblivious of the truth than religion is. I choose religion, because it gives me something to base my beliefs, my morals and my values. It gives me something to put hope into.

    You definitely have not looked at things outside America. Because so many countries think that America is a selfish country that is only interested in money. They only help themselves, and only help others when it helps them. Don't believe me? Well, go to any country in the Middle East and ask any of the people. Go to anyone in Africa and ask them. Try South America too. Most countries dislike America because they stick their noses into other peoples business. You have no idea what is going on in this world. None at all.

    I really don’t have tolerance right now, I’m sick, and I just don’t feel like typing out a defense. But I will anyway.

    First of all, I didn’t mean that ‘I guess you’ve never been in my position before, then’ as to be rude, but referring to the underestimated part. I was just simply stating that I guess you weren’t ever in THAT position, but I know everyone has a bumpy road in life, so I wouldn’t refer it to as you have never been in a bad situation in your past.

    Really, you aren’t listening. I 100% agree with you on the fact we do have the money, it is just being spent on Military. I THINK it should be used on our own people’s problems. I KNOW we are protecting our oil, I just THINK we should just use our own darn supply of oil because we have plenty of it.

    I agree with you. They are theories. They are only theories because they have scientific gaps of information that is missing, but that doesn’t mean the whole theory should be thrown away because they couldn’t connect a few species into genetics. It is POSSIBLE. Just because it isn’t FULLY proven, doesn’t mean it isn't real. The Bible isn’t proven to be actually written by apostils that had the voice of God in their head, and there is no proof God exists. Everyone makes it sound like people who have no belief in an entity or stronger power than our own have no morals or hope… but we do, we just don’t fully put it into one thing.

    Hello? Did I even question that? No I didn’t. I know that. I know other countries think America is selfish, and I agree that America is selfish. Seriously you aren’t listening to a WORD I say. Don’t even try to make me look dumb and bring up topics that you don’t think I know about. I do know about the world. Did I say it to your face that, “I don’t know a thing about our world.” No, I didn’t. So don’t even say that I don’t know a thing about our world. I do know a lot. America does stick their nose into other countries business. That is why I THINK WE SHOULD FOCUS ON OUR OWN COUNTRY. Our Government is so darn stupid we can’t even function correctly as we should be. All America craves for is power. So STOP trying to underestimate me, because I’m not going to take it nicely.

    "The Bible isn’t proven to be actually written by apostils that had the voice of God in their head, and there is no proof God exists."

    There is no proof that God doesn't exist. Also, the apostles were said to have written letters, not the Bible. The Bible was a collobaration of different people telling their story of Jesus. The Disciples, who were Jesus' closest friends, all wrote their own letters and stories, and the four of them were similar. Also, there are other religion that pre-date Catholicism. What about those religions, such as Buddhism, Judaism and Hinduism. How can you say that those religions are wrong? If you are referring to religion, you must speak for all religions, not just Catholicism. Because you think Catholicism is wrong, doesn't mean you have to shut down all of the other religions. There are so many different religions, and there are so many branches to Catholicism, but they all believe in one thing. One God. Look around the world, and you will see there are many different cultures believing in a God. There is a huge percentage of people that believe, and small percent that don't, and an even smaller percent that has no clue. How can you say that we're all wrong? Isn't it strange how these religions started in different places around the same time. I don't think there was email or telephones to call each other up and say 'let's start something called a religion'. There had to have been something that started it. Also, when religions started, look at the intelligence of the people. They wouldn't have been smart enough to 'invent' something like that. Another thing, if you look at your 'evolution'. When they said they looked at cavemen and stuff. They said that the cavemen also prayed to the Gods. They sacrificed animals and such. So are you saying they are wrong too? It is better to be a believer and proven wrong, than to not be a believer and proven right.
