Thread: I don't believe in God, gods, or a god named God...

I believe there is a rational explanation for all of it -- even if we haven't quite come upon it yet. Is there something wrong with me?

You believe in nothing, which is more extraordinary and supernatural than any of those other things you listed. In short, you're an atheist who believes in the religion of scientism. If you believe in the "scientific" Big Bang, then you are a religious believer of the mythology known as science.

Actually the Big Bang is problematic for atheists. For someone to believe there is no evidence a God exists accepting the universe had a beginning means the possibility of a creator. If there was a bang then there was a cause.

and the cause is a person and that person is excempt from needing causes to explain its existance or actions how?

No. A first cause is causeless. As far as I heard only unicorns are able to transport causes from the transzendence into our world. And I heard nothing about that they are searching in Cern for unicorns.

They have the same exact goals but often use different methods.

That is true as they are much less resistant to admitting errors over the religious groups that can take 18,842 years to admit that maybe the earth isn't flat.
