what if no one bothered to try to change your mind?

You will get a kick out of our most famous THREAD on this subject.
Welcome, grubby! :wave:

You can't have a reason without proof.
There isn't a reason to believe in "any" ala zeus, apollo, or Darth Vader. There is a reason to acknowledge the creator, and that is to love him back as much as he loves you.

maybe they can live without reasons. :think:
Actually I began to in a general outline and asked how you'd like to move forward. This doesn't make you look particularly good...or attentive. :nono:
You'll live longer, be happier, have a context for existence in line with your biological imperative to survive, your intellectual need for purpose, and your emotional desire to value. You'll, on average, be more charitable with your time and resources, meaning you'll contribute to the welfare of your social compact disproportionately, making it a better place to live in.
Or, taking it from a more philosophical point, the proposition of the origin of being isn't one that can be settled objectively. But it is one that will be answered, as a practical matter. That is, you will live as though there is or isn't a moral absolute and consequence. So, if the matter is by its nature outside of the objective you're left with a subjective evaluation and/or the experiential for guidance...along with the practical, discussed supra.
All things being equal, you should choose the posit that serves you best. If you do, I'm certain you'll at the very least find yourself in the theists' camp.
isn't that what might make atheism attractive? you do what you want as long as it suits you? i mean the atheist might be law abiding and believe that is all there is to it.
It wasn't my reasoning for holding the belief; but no, atheism cannot meet most of what I set out. And, to the extent it does it does so poorly by compare.
Atheism indeed cannot meet most of what you set out...nor is it within the schema of atheism to do so.
I've yet to meet an atheist who's motivation(s) for life rest exclusively upon the negative ideation such as that of a non-existing God.
There's always room for more within your laundry list of superlative religious returns. Maybe next time.
Which would be smashing were it true. It isn't. When will you manage a substantive counter?
It could happen.

Wait... what? Can you even say that? Which Lord?

As I continue to suspect TH, you would seem advocate theism simply for the lifestyle, a purpose and a supposed longevity (questionable), all very practical reasons perhaps but not particularly honest ones imo. :think:

agreed, but for the grace of God were I the one writing, "I am an Atheist." I certainly haven't run after God on my own. I wouldn't believe if my eyes weren't first opened. I will be praying he does so for you!
