@ Lionhearte...
Did your flying "spigetti" monster influence the creation of a book which is thousands of years old, written by over 40 different meatballs, and prophesied the end from the beginning, proving it's authenticity?
If someone wrote this "book" in today's time, would it not be considered a work of fiction? If someone claimed to be the messiah, or "Jesus" in today's time, what would happen to them? Would they be taken seriously?
In my opinion, the "book" that is used today was re-interpreted from earlier "religions". Before Christianity, people worshiped the sun...
Gonna go off on a slight tangent here...I believe in what I can see, touch, smell, hear, and taste. In my 42 years on this planet I have never seen, touched, smelled, heard, or tasted anything that I consider "God".
I simply cannot believe in "god". A higher power, perhaps, but not "god"as others do.
This is my opinion, and until I can be shown otherwise, it will always be my opinion.

this post will be about the resons why i dont belive in god
the first reson is that no one can define God or tell me what he is he also cannot be seen heard or toched so he is simply a story.
You go to other people for answers like that? Oh, you're lucky, I got to people to punch me in the face.
But why is it that there are Christians who can "feel", "see" and "hear" God? Who have seen his works and his miracles? Who actually study the scriptures and find no fault with it - rather, find perfect evidence that the author of the Bible (God) actually exists?

Simply, because that is how Christians are taught. Not so simply, show me the miracles. Show me the proof of Jesus' resurrection...not something that this book of yours told us happened.
Please don't get me wrong. Iwant to believe in "God", but I cannot in my current (current for a really long time...) state of mind. To be blunt, my mom wasn't so lucky

the secont reson is that if god is so high and mighty and can prevent evil why dosent he?
the third reson is that if god was so loving and caring why woud he let acts like the spanish incuisition happen or pepole going to war over religion why does he let pepole starve? also plese explain why god woud kill millions of his children in a flood?
my fourth reson is that sience has gotten us into space it has allowed pepole to fly and look deep into the universe sience has changed the world religion has only heald us back.
my fith reson is that when has God actuly answerd your prayers? if he was there he woud have anserd them
my sixth reson is that many pepole will say god exists and you cant prove outherwise but one day i told you that i belived in the flying spigetti monster or i told you that batman was real and that you cannout prove outherwise therefor making it real do you see the flaw in this logic
my final reson is this life is to butiful of a qwestion to be simply awnsed with god did it
(ps this thread was ment to inspire debate if i offended you in anny way i am sorry and i am sure you will find it in your hart to forgive me if you dont its not my problem)
