Doubt is time-waster. I don’t understand how people can be atheists in that regard.
Many people have inner discussions to “decide” whether or not there is an all-knowing being and Creator. How a person can make a decision based on non-qualifying stipulations is beyond me, anyways. It’s no different than me coming to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a million dollars. I’ve never seen it, so you can’t convince me that much money really exists.
OK, so you’re an atheist. In the event that there is no God, what then? Where do you go from there? What’s the point of living if there is no consequence for the life you live – whether reward or penalty? So what if you’re a good person. If there’s no reward for doing so, why does it matter what you do? So you spend all this time trying to figure out if there is enough evidence, come to the conclusion that there is no proof to His existence, only to… What? Why are you on the Earth? How did you get here? What’s your purpose?
Incertitude is a good-for-nothing attribute brought on by self-inflicted thoughts and wonders. In the time I’ve been thinking about this post, I haven’t been able to come up with a single time when doubt is helpful. Someone tells you a story and you doubt its truth and relevance. What’s the point in wasting time trying to decipher the validity of someone’s claim? Lies always find a person out. Every time. That time could be better spent doing something a little more constructive – like watching inane videos on YouTube or clipping your toe nails.
Speaking of which, I’ve got a perfect season going on NHL ’06. One way or another, the Thrashers will win the Cup.

doubt is time-waster? doubt is necessary. how can you be sure that what you believe is TRULY what you believe unless you don't question it and assure it's validity. isn't it quite the coincidence that christians don't want you to even QUESTION your faith, so there's no possible way you could realize that underneath it all, you don't really believe you have a big dad in the sky reprimanding you.
if you weren't so afraid, you'd realize that life doesn't have a purpose. having a purpose is a human manifestation. life happened on it's own, for so many years before humans came and rationalized it. death is the unknown, NO ONE has ever conquered death or else we'd know so much more about it.
and how do you believe in a book that was written by men? would you agree that these men could probably edit the book to their likings, throwing in a couple rules here and there and signing it in god's name?
i'm a former christian. yeah, i said it. former. i started thinking about things. i realized i don't need to have a reason for living, other than i'm an animal and my time is to be spent having offspring and keeping the life of the earth going.
if you realized that little voice in your head is just your higher consciousness which has been proven biologically, you'd feel a lot safer inside of your own head, and not as scared for the end of it all...because when it ends it'll be like you're sleeping. when you realize you've been creating your own god this whole time, you'll realize how important your brain really is and you'll be able to love yourself.
but who am i kidding? christians hate themselves.
