Welcome to the board, Alex.
Instead of giving you some good reasons for not believing in a god or gods (there are many good reasons, in my opinion), how about you start by telling us why you are skeptical or don't believe.
Personally, I think there is nothing to feel guilty about. Do you feel guilty for not believing in leprachauns? What about the Tooth Faery? I would guess that your answer is, "No," so why feel guilty because you don't believe in a deity?

Hey. I'm new too. I agree that you shouldn't feel guilty about not believing in God, but people sure make you feel that way don't they? Even though my family isn't particularly religious, if I mention that I don't believe in God, they react almost with pity. "You must feel so alone without the feeling that someone is watching over you, Have scary it must be for you with no afterlife to look forward to... blah blah blah." Sorry I brought it up! To be honest, I feel more comfortable with the world without God. A supreme being deciding who lives an dies, and what is right and wrong seems to me like a supreme dictatorship. I'd put my faith in random chance any day. Hugs Jen

xalexfromblackx, welcome to the board. I also agree that there is nothing for you to feel guilty about. Of course, I understand where your feelings are coming from. When you don't believe in the loving father figure deity everyone else does, it's easy to see why you might feel guilty. The message most others are probably telling you is that you are turning your back on God.
Don't let that scare you back into belief. Trust your own judgement and explore the reasons why you began to doubt.
Again, welcome to the board. If you ever need anything, feel free to let me know.

xalexfromblackx has been banned for sexual harrassment and trolling. The following are some of his offending posts:
Thread: Fruit (Post Deleted)
This post is considered both sexual harrassment and thread hijacking.
Thread: locked for review? (Thread Deleted)
This is considered trolling and violates rule #1.
Thread: DONT LOOK IM NAKED (Thread Deleted)
Misleading posters with false subject headings will also be trolling and be considered a violation of rule #1.
Thread: The Da Vinci Code (Post Deleted)
Not only is this trolling but it came in response to rule #5, which states that users must post in relevant sections. Breaking rule #5 does not merit a ban (since it is sometimes difficult to determine which section a thread belongs in) but posting in an inappropriate section on purpose and responding to administrative action in an inflammatory manner merits a ban.

As I am looking through more threads, I am finding more offending posts by this user. I post these here for several reasons: 1.) They are an example of the type of posts that will not be tolerated here and 2.) Should any questions arise about the banning procedures of this board, other users will have the ability to reference the original posts and determine whether my bans are justified.
With that, another offense:
Thread: concerning "Truth" (Post Deleted)

I fully support your decision to ban. That guy was annoying and offensive.
