"I have been unbiasedly questioning the belief of a god for a long time now and I have still yet to find a good reason not to believe." Cancer. Explain why god's design kills innocent people. I can think of dozens more if you happen to answer it with some sort of rationality other than "but we get to live forever in a magical land of love and joy and puppies." (Sorry I had to throw the sarcasm in, I just had to.)
"Besides, have you ever thought about how/why the concept of time began to exist in the first place?" Yes, but I don't jump to the assumption that it is magic. What if someone saw an airplane 2000 years ago? Most people would quickly give up on trying to explain it. It could be taken as a sign from god, some sort of demonic power, etc. The point is human nature wants to understand what it comes in contact with. When we can't then we make a "best guess." The less we understand something the less accurate that guess is likely to be. Belief should be based on evidence, not the lack of evidence contrary to the belief. I could believe that I am god, and of course I would be wrong. I have no reason to believe that, but please try to prove that I'm not. If god is all powerful it could choose to live the life of an ordinary human. It would even make sense, just god trying to understand the opposition to belief in it. So should I go and start a religion around the premise that I'm god because it can't be dis-proven?
Is it normal for atheists to always act so conceited?
