I dont believe because there is no hard proof of anything. God, gods, mother nature... whatever. I guess I'm a hands on kinda guy and putting faith in something that comes from a book full of potholes and speculation isn't going to win me over. I used to be a very strong christian till I began to question and not find answers. Now I have faith in myself and that change happens and doesnt need an explanation. I truly believe that religion was used intentionally to control the masses at points in time. That is just how I feel about it. Also not to say I'm without morals though. I feel I can be a decent person without religion. I have a genuine compassion for others and I constantly go out of my way to help people. One of my very good friends is the son of a Pastor. He has wavering faith in his life as well but there is one aspect that keeps him going. The vastness and organization of the universe. He sees that as a clear sign of a higher being where I am impartial. Even if it was a higher being how do I know it was the christian god? The only thing that really puts me off is the pissing contest of religions and the segregation of people because of it. Otherwise praise on, be happy and dont hammer me about religion please.Its human nature to catagorize and understand. When we come across anything that is beyond our scope we blame it on the "Giant Sky Wizard"
