I at least understand why they're believers!
Wow! A true atheist. Most people I run into are more agnostic than atheist. If you don't mind me asking, what happened in your life to make you believe there is no higher force? Most people I know just choose not to believe because they haven't seen any irrefutable evidence.
Sorry for shanghaiing this thread. Religious beliefs are something that really interest me. For those that don't know, an atheist is someone who believes that God DOESN'T exist. Agnostics are a bit more wishy washy in that they don't believe in god outright but they do concede there is a possibility of some higher being.
Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
