I am an atheist. Logically I have no problem with god in the deist sense. That some remote abstract "intelligence" (though it would be such an abstract form of intelligence we'd barely be able to constitute it as intelligence as we know it) exists. Saying that the universe always existed or that some abstract being always existed are both illogical, but I go with universes always existing because with the deity part you're just adding and extra step to get to your illogical conclusion, and that seems unnecessary.
What I have a logical problem with is calling that abstract entity the christian god, or the hindu gods, or the muslim god, or the jewish god, or any other god. Disproving "god" is impossible (as is disproving a giant invisible space leprechaun) but disproving religions is easy. They are man made, and made by guys who weren't very smart, logical, or moral by today's standards.
I could go on and on about the bible, which is one of the most violent heinous books ever written, and it's god who is hands down by any literary critique the villain of the story and one of the most wicked characters ever written. But that's usually lost on people who want to believe in god because they are afraid of not existing some day, or are terrified of the idea that their isn't any purpose to life except that which they give it.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.
