I'm going back a bit here, to the person who said religion was about obedience. Personally, I believe it depends on how you were raised, as a christian that is. I was raised christian, went to church every sunday, bible class and sunday school. Yes we read from the bible, but it wasn't so much about following god like a puppy, but rather about how to be a good person, and help your fellow man. I'm agnostic now, my scientific side tells me there isn't enough proof for me to believe, but my old christian side says I wish there was.
I don't believe you can prove nor disprove the presence of god, some people 'know' he exists, which is faith in pure, and some can scientifically argue, there is no possible way for him to. Frankly, debates like this will never cease to amaze me, no one is going to get the opposition to budge here, we're all too strongly opinionated. So to end up, I just wanted to put a little note in, perhaps for each side to understand? Atheism is a hard 'religion' for lack of better words. They know there is nothing for them after they die, for stepping into something where you know you just cease to exist, I commend you. For those strong christians, catholics, muslims, etc, etc, your faith will always astound me, for people to believe something so strongly, is amazing, especially in the modern world when so little people do.
