Atheists do not believe,How?

As a believer in The Creator of the worlds, I have always wondered how an atheist comes to the conclusion that God is non existent ?
Please do not think that I am going to argue your points,just curious!!!

Thanks in advance.

I sure hope there's other reasonging behind it than Faith. That wouldn't be very nice of them if they were allowed to believe that God has always been there because of faith, but I wasn't allowed to believe that Gasses have always been there because of faith.

Curious. Where do you suppose the gasses came from? You can't get something from nothing. So who created the gases?

You can't compare one with the other, because there is no comparison.

I'll try this again.

See...it DOES make sense to some people that a gas and a god are equal in importance. Would you say that oxygen, which you breathe every day, has less importance than your god? I would say they're equal in importance, because without one, you would have no reason for the other. Or--if you gave a person who couldn't breathe the choice between accepting God as their saviour, or a gas that could save their life--which becomes the more immediately important "thing"?

What I'm trying to say is that your logic doesn't work. If god could always be, then gases could always be. How can you prove different? How can logic say that one thing can exist always, because it's a GOD, and another can't, because it's just a gas? How do you know that the gas isn't a god too?

Although an object can be destroyed it's energy can not be. At least as far as we know right now. So you are right gasses haven't always existed but the energy contained in those gases has. An atom is stored energy. You can destroy an atom but in the process you release energy. That energy could then used to form a different atom. That energy will always be and it always has been. Maybe your religion isn't that different from science after all. Shame you won't study it.

Where did GOD come from? If you can't get something from nothing--who created the god?

Seriously--this is the SAME logic applied here! What is so hard to understand about it?

Because we do not pray to oxygen.

If the gases always were, then how did they suddenly decide to form into worlds, stars, plants, animals and people? Where did the order and beauty come from if not designed?

No....YOU don't pray to oxygen.

I do. Or rather, I pray to the Element of Air. And that of Fire, Earth, Water, and Spirit.

Others pray to trees. Or stars (ever wished on a star?). Or volcanoes. Get the picture?

YOU believe that your god created the universe. OTHERS don't.

YOUR religion is right for YOU. The fact that your mind is closed to what others believe is what scares the bejesus out of me.
