I am an atheist. I don't believe in God
An atheist is someone who says he knows there is no God. But you can't know that for sure, because you would have to know all things in order to know if there is or isn't a God. If you knew all things then you would be God. So, the only thing you could be is an agnostic, not an atheist. An agnostic says he doesn't know if there is or isn't a God.
What do you believe in, evolution? If so, have you ever studied it or do you believe what they tell you on television. Evolution has a lot of problems with it. It seems to me that it takes a lot of faith to believe that you developed out of ocean slime, simply by chance. At least as a Christian I have the evidence of the resurrection of Christ from eye witnesses as recorded by them in the gospels. Evolution or not, Jesus rose from the dead, claimed to be God, and forgave sins. I'll put my faith in Him instead of evolution.
If there is no God as you say, then in the end I lose nothing. But if there is a God like I say, in the end you lose everything.
Why don't you believe in God? Is their any reason for you to intelligently reject His existence? Or, do you simply desire not to believe in Him?
The Bible doesn't attempt to prove that God exists. It simply speaks as though He does. Maybe I can't prove to you there is a God, but I can introduce Him to you through His Son Jesus Christ and you can judge for yourself if the Words of Christ in the Bible convince you of His existence.
