[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing I find strange about non-believers (atheism) is the same strange thing I find about believers (religious).  Both actually believe in something without proof.  Atheist believe God or a higher power does not exist but they can not prove it.  Religious types believe a God or higher power does exist and also can not prove it.

For me personally, I'm agnostic.  Is there a God or higher power?  I don't know.  But if I had to choose which (atheisim or Religon) is more logically based, I'd have to go with atheism.  A leap of faith is just that.[/quote]

I cannot prove so many things. In the absence of any proof, I assume it is not there. That goes for anything like the chupacabra, string theory, or invisible and powerful gods. I know I could be wrong. I could be wrong about any belief of mine. If there is absolutely no proof, that doesn't make it more likely. Many scientific theories cannot currently be proven. Some are believable to me because I can see the science it's based on, and the logic. Something like the string theory doesn't have any proof and doesn't follow enough logic. I assume it's impossible, but I could be wrong.

I see that religion has a place for a lot of people. If they're the religious who help others and make peace, I'm all for it. I honestly have very little tolerance for believers who get indignant about people who believe something different. It's like saying I'm vegan, but eating a steak while deriding anyone who's not a vegetarian. Saying it does not make something true. [/quote]
