As an atheist I have just questioned my beliefs, what do you think?

If you wish to find religious beliefs that are in harmony with Science and Reason check the Baha'i faith:\nA small selection of writings\n\n O SON OF SPIRIT!\nThe best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes. \n\nO COMPANION OF MY THRONE!\nHear no evil, and see no evil, abase not thyself, neither sigh nor weep. Speak no evil, that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee, and magnify not the faults of others that thine own faults may not appear great; and wish not the abasement of anyone, that thine own abasement be not exposed. Live then the days of thy life, that are less than a fleeting moment, with thy mind stainless, thy heart unsullied, thy thoughts pure, and thy nature sanctified, so that, free and content, thou mayest put away this mortal frame, and repair unto the mystic paradise and abide in the eternal kingdom for evermore.

I agree that such an explanation is one possibility.  In fact, my failure to fully comprehend the Big Bang in a purely scientific manner is the only reason why I am an agnostic, and not an athiest.  I feel that I need to allow for the possibility.

It's interesting because I use the same thought process as you to arrive at a totally different conclusion.  For me it is like, God doesn't fit into my "nice neat little box" so he can't exist.  That might sound close-minded so I'll elaborate.  In my eyes, science is beginning to understand more and more of the world and our origins.  Now when I look at the overwhelming evidence of evolution and even just the happenings around me, I form a general understanding of the world that I am comfortable with.  Now when something enters my world view (God) I have to examine the evidence and tinker with the idea to see if it fits.  The problem with God is, I've seen no evidence and he just plain does not fit.  With science, no matter what your mindset, the evidence is right there for you to see regardless of your bias or what conclusions you draw from it.  Basically, if I saw real evidence of God, I could attempt to rearrange the rules and see if he fits, but I don't believe I should have to break the rules to even see evidence of him.  That makes it sound like the first step to becoming a Christian is to delude yourself.

Sounds like deist to me. You believe in a some type of god (a creator) so you're not an atheist and "agnostic" is just a modifier word.

Maybe a slight god-complex. But, your main boggle is an over developed sense of satire. We atheists do not have a problem with this condition. However, the sheeple are most likely helplessly confused. Keep up the good work. LOL :)\nOh, and thanks for all the points recently. Muchas gracias! ;)

I've been on the other side where I thought that people who didn't believe in god must feel lost.  (I was raised to think they are evil.)  So, I can kinda understand why some religious individuals think that non-believers feel some sort of void or are immoral.  However, I also view that stance as an immature belief.  It doesn't take a lot of looking around to realize that agnostics and atheists are very content with their worldviews and live ethical lives.

Excellent question :)\nIn response...\n\nI used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ. \n\nFor a draft-version of my journey from atheism to Christ, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html\n\nFor scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm\n\nCordially,\nJohn

I'm kind of a bi-believer :\n\nTechnically speaking I am an agnostic because I can't prove the existence of god one way or the other.\n\nHowever, I am currently working under the assumption that there is no god because of the utter lack of evidence.\n\nSome people just like to sit on the fence, I guess.\n\nA

Last night I went to a great agnostic and atheist websit with 20,000 articles, let me see if I can find it...\n\nOh, and d man, being agnostic is not so simple. I am one too, you should open your mind up slightly.

I became an atheist when I was 16.  At 20, I became agnostic, because I think you can't prove or disprove anything epistemically.  But I know where you're coming from.

Everyone assumes that most Atheists had a bad experience with Christianity, and that's why they stopped believing.  That's really not the case for most people.\n\nI stopped believing when I grew up.  I became an adult, and was able to make my own independent decisions, away from family and friends.  Logic and common sense lead me to become an Atheist.  \n\nOn top of that, I don't agree with any of the beliefs I would have to take on as a Christian or any other religion, really.  I'm a gay rights supporter, I believe in pro-choice, I believe in evolution, I have no problem with pre-marital sex or living with someone before marriage, I smoke, drink, and have done drugs.\n\nI basically wanted to be an individual.  I don't believe there is a God, and I didn't fall into any of the religions I have discovered.  While I respect that everyone has a right to believe what they want, I expect the same in return.

Yes... I mean no....I mean, I don't know.  Questioning one's own belief system is essential to spiritual growth and evolution.  All the ones that answered "no" so quickly are the one's that, in my mind, need to get a reality check.  Don't be so sure!  Take a look around, there are more questions than answers and there are more opinions around the globe than we can count.  So, be okay to question your faith and the very existence of "god".  You may come back full circle, or you may not.  But at least you can say that you've looked outside the narrow little box that most people live in.\n\nI'm sure that if god exists and assuming that god gave you a logical mind to work with, god wouldn't mind if you questioned and explored those issues.  I haven't seen anybody struck down to a pillar of salt lately!  So free your mind, go exploring!

I answer atheist questions because I have been called thisso many times, simply because I am not Christian.\n\nI don't know everything, but I know I place my thinking further than limiting it to a bible. Which by the way, is fictional. Which is also written in part by mentally ill people who were considered saints by men-not by God.\n\nMy mind is open and can be changed, my mind is not closed to all things other than the bible. I do believe in God, but am considered atheist since I am not christian. This is where they are wrong.

For a self-descrivbed atheist, you seem to have a lot of questions about God and religion...even so far as to use the expression, 'honest to god'.  \n\nI wonder, if you do not believe in god, of what difference can it make to your life if others do?   Just think what you can do with the time you spend questioning how others live their lives.  \n\nIf you learn to be gracious, and realize that god-based comments from others are not meant with any evil intent (except the occasional directions to a certain perceived, very hot location), everyone will be happier, especially you.\n\nGood luck.

Finally a decent out of the box agnostic thinker.  I personally am atheist, because the creation of a creator is just as probable as us being created in the first place.  But the creation of the two are that much more improbable.  \n\nHowever, on your theory, why do you propose that we are mistakes rather than a side effect...

I was baptized as a Christian, and I believed in God during my younger childhood years. But my family has never gone to church since I can remember, and religion now is not at all a part of my life. I don't believe in any religion anymore. I rarely even think or wonder about God, or whether or not there even is one. I might consider myself agnostic, but even that could be going too far because I really have no feelings about religion at all.
