		<description>Atheists and agnostics require rationale and evidence.  But, this requires tangible evidence either through math, observation or outcomes.  Yet, we have many unanswered questions about the universe - how it originated, its actual age  or its ultimate fate.
Even, without answers, the universe continues its dynamics with or without us.  If randomness is the roots of all, it seems we would have suffered more ill fates rather than surviving for thousands or more years.  Early humans living off the abundance of the earth were the first to feel gratitutde for something beyond themselves, yet, no one coerced them to believe or to be grateful.  Could be modern humans take too much for granted and are blinded by their own abilities.  It seems the more we know, the less we know which should keep us still wondering how this awesome universe ever became a possibility???</description>

		<description>I have to admit this site is really interesting!!!

But for a while now i have been wondering, aren&#039;t agnostics rather skeptic? i mean agnostics tend to believe that there is nothing for certain in life.... ie. (according to David Hume) you cannot be sure of gravity, laws of physics etc. skeptics on the other hand don&#039;t know.... isn&#039;t that in some way the same thing.... 

As for the statistics, they are interesting.... but I&#039;ve read on the BBC, that the major religion in North Korea is atheists, I was shocked to see that only 15% where atheists!!

Cafe Dog, what u said was truly interesting would like to hear more of u!!!</description>

		<description>God or no God, is that the real question?


The need to know ....

homo sapiens - knowing man

we seek to know,  

for knowledge to be complete three things are required – information, understanding and experience

so knowledge though being universally infinite is individually very limited. 



The need to believe ....

Belief fills the gap between the universality of knowledge and our limitations. 

What we don’t know we have to believe in

Civilisation requires organised belief

whether capitalism or Buddhism, 

creating ‘isms is what civilised man has always been about


The need for God ....

God or Gods need not exist 

Because believing itself is the essence 

Without belief we are simply not human

Whether our belief is centred on one god or given to many gods is irrelevant

But to believe that there is no god is no belief at all

For belief by definition cannot be either true of false

It just is


Atheists believe also ....

Being human atheists believe

In the enduring compassion of mankind, 

of natures ability to support us and all life, 

of the joy in being alive

and in tomorrow. 


Don’t you?

Then what is the argument really about?</description>
