My "conversion" to atheism

This is is short overview of my life as a Christian and why I became an atheist. This is mainly for those religious people who may state that I do not know what I am talking about, or that I have not studied Christianity in any real depth. Yes - I know I was not "born a Christian" and highlight this fact later in the video. For brevity I made that statement instead of "I was born an atheist in a Christian family and raised with the values, rituals, and conventions inherit in such situations". The popular understanding of the phrase has the meaning I was looking for without having to go into a massive explanation as to why everyone is born an atheist. Besides, if I had gone down that route I would now be defending a "I was born an atheist" comment to all the idiot theists who visit. Furthermore, if anyone make a comment about this again I will give you the thumbs down - if you can't be bothered reading the descriptions of videos, it's your own fault. There is a slight problem with the Youtube version - it cuts off one of two closing slides and the credit for the music, which called "High Drama" from the album "Pictures" by Timo Maas.

this is a great video, thank you for expressing your views on this subject.

But how could you reject such an all powerful omniscient and benevolent being who has given us this world and our lives filled with disease, warfare, poverty, dissatisfaction, and death? He loves us so much that he promises that after we suffer miserably on Earth, we might get a chance to exist for the rest of all time by his side. Or go to Hell. So how could you reject such an almighty and amazingly kind being? I mean, our reality is so consistent with there being a God.

Well, how are you madhatter? Have a nice Thanksgiving? Okay, so it relies on what is there... which is what exactly? I mean, I understand that religion relies on presumptions, its just, what is the foundational concept(s) behind concluding that there is, in fact, no god(s)?

"what exactly is it that athiesm would rely on?" what's actually there and not just presumed to be there.

"someone just told you then believed him right away without verifying? that's very scientific. ")" Call me crazy, but "ball" doesn't exactly seem like the incredibly technical word that would be added thousands of years later. "i believe madhatter0719 was the one who misspelled "seperate". not you, unless... ")" Yes, i confess i accidentally typed separate wrong. You're point?

If religions rely on faith, and solely that, I believe as someone said earlier, "blind faith", what exactly is it that athiesm would rely on?

"Jesus is found in CHRISTianity" that totaly mean, nothing at all... like all the bible.

The choice in soundtrack for this was absolutely brilliant.

Thank you for joining the thinking minority of the population.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus
