I don't believe in a God or an afterlife, though I am open to being wrong on the subject. I used to be a believer, but like most (if not all) believers, I believed simply because I had never considered that there might be an altenative. There is an alternative, and it makes a hell of a lot more sense.

I could never put it as eloquently as Capo (whom I miss and wish would visit these boards more often), but there are just too many contradictions, too many inconsistencies, and too much hate and intolerance for me to ever consider religion again. Plus, it is far more likely that there is no God, and if there is a God, He isn't the omnibenevolent, omnicompetent, omniscient God that Christians believe He is.
