an atheist believes he/she is an atheist because they can't swallow dogma, thereafter they can either not find a good reason to believe in god, or give up on religion all together. But eventualy it boils down to a belief, not proof because god cannot be proven true or untrue. I have seen evrey fucking side of the coin, i've studied buddhisim, taoism, shintoism, christianity, judeism, hinduism, even some recongnized cults, even the school of "hard knocks" non of these have any valid answer, non of these "systems" will ever account for evrey thing that a person can experience.
Evrey belief that limits you, including atheism, is the same as getting through a closed unlocked door without using the door knob. Why waste unnecessary energy and intention to destroy the door when it isn't a limitation to begin with, provided you have common understanding of doors.
and to your weak rebuttals I speak in metaphors because it tends to weed out the idiots.

Not all Athiests are so because of dogma. I accept many commom moral values of your average human being. It is true that i cannot find a reason to believe in god. But just because i cant find a reason to believe in god doesnt mean i blindly think that there is another way like most athiests do. That would make me no better than a christian. The difference between you and I is that you need a final answer. You cant accept that some things cant be answered, then you slap the word God on things you cant explain. The first group of people to do this wrote long intricate confusing stories so that if something wasnt explained, they could fall back on the theory that "it is in the bible, its just that our weak mortal minds could not possibly comprehend it", and when people say "why would god give man a book he couldnt fully understand", they say thats where the faith comes in. Im not asking for proof of god, or proof that god doesnt exist, i wont have faith in either until i see some solid proof, and i dont care if it ever shows up. If god loved us, why would he make human nature want proof for something before it is accepted, then forces us to believe in something that we have no evidence of, (a bible is not evidence) or go to hell just because he made us that way? Dont argue that if we dont believe in hell, then its not his fault that we're going to it cause he gave us the choice not to but made us aware that there was, because if god really loved us he wouldnt let us make such a poor decision! "friends dont let friends drive drunk!" God doesnt exist. Show me a fucking angel and ill show you a newborn christian!
