[from the point of view of an atheist]
Atheism makes more sense than any religion. There are thousands of creation myths out there, and practically none of them agree with any of the others... which presents one with a real dilemma when it comes to which religion to believe in. Then, science can explain how nearly everything works and has worked since about the first billionth of a second of the universe's existance (as well as giving near-irrefutable efidence that creationism as presented by christianity is bunk). It's not hard to decide that there is no god and that things which we don't know, like "What happened before?" and "What is magnetism?" will be explained eventually.
I'm personally not an atheist and never have been, but my world view hasn't always included a god... I was raised Christian, but was agnostic for most of my life. I now believe in some sort of spirit/soul and a deity or some variation thereof, and I haven't read the bible but I think that it has some serious inconsistencies. How do you rectify "God loves everyone" with the ten plagues and with people being sent to hell? And why did Jesus need to die for us to be forgiven? God is supposed to be omnipotent; he should be able to forgive us all by himself.
...not that I'm trying to disprove Christianity or anything. It's just as good as any other religion, as far as I'm concerned.

OMG!!!...I am so sorry if I offend you but, Why are you an athiest!?...There is totally a God!...I'm sooooo sorry....here's what you do think about it real hard and just start askin yourself questions like...how is there a world and stuff like that...then go read parts The Bible and it will make you realize that there IS a God!...BUT do what you think is right...I'm not trying to make you do something you don't want to do =]

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
I'm personally a Wiccan and DON'T believe in God - but I do believe there is something up there. You're right, how else would we have got here? My point of view is that the Bible is just ONE side of the story - there are many others and we're free to believe which one we want :)
However, I do believe that Jesus was a real person, because it's not only Christian's who acknowledge he existed, but Jews do to, although they say he isn't the messiah the Bible says he was. I think maybe he was an amazing doctor or something and helped a lot of people - kinda like an ancient Mother Theresa.
However...all of the religions had to have had proof somewhere along the line, because otherwise, why would so many people believe in them in the first place?
Faith is a wonderful thing. Although I don't agree with your views (or the athiest's), it's pretty cool to see someone so devoted to their religion :)
Blessed Be,
