I don't. Mostly because of a significant lack of concrete and verifiable evidence. That's just how my mind works: if it cannot be proven, I have no reason to invest any faith in it. Particularly when the evidence against is far more concrete than the evidence for.

 

o rly?  what is this all this evidence that there is no god?

 

Skepticism is always the natural stance. Therefore, if there is no evidence for something, it is assumed not to exist/have happened. There is no evidence for God, therefore he is assumed not to exist.

 I can't understand that position really. Scientifically speaking there is no evidence for or against god/gods so I choose to stay agnostic. I believe there may or may not be a super natural spirit or spirits because we cannot test for them. Without any tests there can be no definitive answer, thuse I believe what I believe.
