in a personal "God"?
1. Reading through "holy books", I understood: "these are NOT the words of a God!"
2. "Holy Books" were more likely to have been written by primitive, ignorant men who were inspired by their desire to control and manipulate, than by primitive ignorant men (supposedly special or blessed in some way) who were inspired by a divine entity.
3. Most of them have been changed over time in any case, so whatever the initial message was is barely there at this point in time. So wtf are people following, with claims of their authenticity?
4. The "First cause" of the universe need not have been "God", or some entity with a form of consciousness.
5. The concept can't even be defined properly to be feasible. The unknown inaccessible supreme entity seems to be a convenient cop-out so people can't expose it as demonstrably false.
6. If a being with a consciousness would allow the most disgusting atrocities to have taken place in its name, then it is not a being I would worship or have any respect for.
7. Having "Faith" as opposed to accepting what one knows and what doesn't, is destructive to the self and to people around the person with "faith".
8. There is a fine line between being imaginative and claiming interaction with and perfect knowledge of the universe and its "Creator".
There are plenty more reasons, including the selfish implications of begging the universe to favor your little needs over those of thousands who starve and die everyday, the randomness of the universe, the lack of uniformity in regard to belief, and the number of belief systems that have existed with no intervention. There are also too many so-called "miracles" being performed by "holy" men from all different faiths, and if every faith claims to be the ONLY TRUE faith, then how the hell do these people all have special powers ordained by "the one true God"?
Such nonsense.
