Hi, imp here.
I am an atheist because I have never heard of any evidence for God...when advised it is a matter of faith, well, in my 20's I did a lot of soul searching, honestly and fervently opened my heart to God and....hmmm, nothing.
I would assume theists would say I didn't open my heart fully, which is why I did not receive God...but I know I did 100% try for many years to be open minded and open hearted and, for me, He was not there. I came to the conclusion that the people He is there for, convince themselves of His presence because they want Him so badly to be there.
Hope this doesn't offend anyone, just wanted to express where I am coming from.
ps I think God belief is fine for those it benefits, I abhore organised religion and it's effects in the world.
so G'day from Australia!
