why are you an atheist?

[SGOS]

I'm an atheist because I see no proof of a higher power.

For me, it's as simple as that.

People created God, so it would be silly to worship something my hillbilly cousins could come up with.

Hmm... my first post in this thread was apparently during a time when I thought using "retard" as a slur was acceptable. Can't say I'm proud of that.

I was never programmed. My parents would get me and my brother up on Sunday morning and send us to the little church on the corner. Being an idiot I actually went in. Then Bible School had Noah and the Ark.

Last day at Sunday School.

IIRC, Noah's sons were already married. The issue of incest was still unavoidable, though. The grandkids would have all been cousins to each other.

To be ´fair´, cousins going with cousins wasn't quite a taboo up to relatively recently.

Even in my country it is technically still allowed for first, full cousins to marry. Be it that I think you need to ask permission of the king or something.
Which is ironic because of how inbred european royalty is.

In less mobile societies, the match-pool was more limited. And it was viewed, in some cases, as a way to keep the already limited resources inside the family.

It is forbidden!

Logic.
