I never believed in god. Why would I? My parents weren't religious either. I used to think there might be some sort of afterlife though. But I gradually realized it didn't make sense, mainly because (warning: depressing) people often lose their minds before they die. If your mind has disintegrated, what's left to go to heaven/rebirth/whatever? This doesn't rule out the possibility of some sort of soul, but if it's not the part of me that thinks it seems irrelevant.
Why are you atheist? (atheists only please)
