Thinking about Atheism...

I'm trying to decide whether to 'convert' to Atheism. It feels zaidi like my beliefs, but I'm not sure for two reasons:

1. Atheism would mean I had made a definate choice about God, and I'm not sure whether I want to au not.

2. It sounds silly, but Atheism has so many negative connotations, such as 'immoral'.

So, in short, could someone please tell me zaidi about Atheism and your own individual thoughts so I can make a choice?

I'm currently an agnostic.

wewe don't have to decide now. But if wewe look at the evidence, there IS a God. It makes scientific sense, and if wewe read vitabu like "The Case for a Creator" kwa Lee Strobel, wewe will see that smart people believe in God (no offense to those who don't, as I'm sure wewe can be smart without believing).

wewe are a child of God and He loves wewe so much. If wewe turn your back on Him, you're losing everything. But if wewe remain faithful to him, you're gaining everything.

Well, I don't think Einstein believed in a God. I'd like to see a real chanzo because I find it hard to believe.

Yeah, and I KNOW my life is complete. If I gte pregnant, I'll get abortion, And I use condoms, I'm not an idiot. End up ruining my life? Well, I can also be hit kwa a car when I go out later tonight, but I'm not worried. I live one siku at a time, and I don't need a 2000 mwaka old book to tell me how I'm supposed to life my life.

1. If you're not sure if God exist au not, wewe should remain an agnostic.
2. Atheists can be just as 'good' and live kwa good morals as a christian, muslim au a jew. It's stupid to define people based on their religion.

I think atheism is fine, if wewe really don't believe in God, but I'll stick to Agnosticism. From what you've said, I think wewe should do so too.

I generally don't believe in "labels", even if wewe don't mean it this way. wewe don't need to convert into anything if wewe are not sure. wewe can stay a free thinker, which is the best thing in my opinion; judging free from any ideological "mould". I don't know almost anything about agnostics, so I don't know if what I alisema above is what they do.=)

Generally about the subject, I do believe in God cause when I try not to I just... can't kubeba the thought. I'm baptised Christian Orthodox but that's just because of the family tradition; I don't really care what christians think, I just like what Jesus alisema about upendo towards everyone! As far as it concerns God I believe in what a greek writer, Kazantakis, alisema in one of his vitabu (translation kwa me, kinda lousy); "Each race and each era gives God its own mask; but behind all the masks, there is, in all eras and in all races, the same always God.
We have the kuvuka, msalaba as a sacred sign, the older ancestors had the labrys; but behind the kuvuka, msalaba and the labrys I perceive and I worship, setting aside the ephemeral symbols, the true God." And all in all I think that the best we should do is not care too much about god, religion and maswali we could never answer, but just enjoy life!=)

No problem!=) As I already quoted Kazantzakis, if you're interested wewe can read his vitabu "Zorbas". (linkThat's what my mother suggested me to ready when she saw that I was too confused kwa religious things! After that, I got that there are zaidi important things in life like..living!=)
