Please...
In your own words, not using any scripture, tell me why you dont believe there is a God. Please dont point to creation either, in fact please only use your own feelings on the matter if you can.
Actually, I NEVER said I "don't believe there is a God". Now though I *doubt* it, I don't KNOW it. The only rational philiosphy is really to be Agnostic . . . I don't know if there is a God, Gods, Goddesses and etc.,
Really though I'm a "Militant Agnostic" - meaning "I don't know, and neither do YOU". Though you may well BELIEVE, or think you KNOW.
2/3's of Humanity are NOT Christians, and one thing I definately don't believe is that any God who is truly good and loving would have 2/3rds of the people on this planet get tortured in hell because of their beliefs. I refuse to believe that a loving, honest and hardworking person would go to hell because they don't believe the right thing, whereas a nasty, selfish and ill-tempered person could . . . simply because they believe the ''right'' thing.
Because of the place and time you were born into, Christianity seems so real and omnipresent to you. But if you had been born into a different plance and/or time -- it might be completely different God(s)/Goddess(es)/Forces and etc that you would believe in.
Perspective on time and geography puts religion into its place. As they say "Religions change, beer and wine remain".
Anyway, as I've said before - I'd be willing to fight with my life for your right, and everybody elses, to believe absolutely anything they want. But I'm also willing to fight with my life for the right for my life to be absolutely free from having anybody elses beliefs forced on me. You can "lovingly" believe your "loving'' god is going to have me and my beautiful children tourtured for eternity because we didn't pick the right god out of all the choices . . . but I'll spare you a similar judgement.

I was walking across a bridge one day, and i saw a man standing on the edge,
about to jump off. so i ran over and said "stop! don't do it!" "Why shouldn't
I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like
what?" I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious."
I said, "Me too! Are you christian or buddhist?" He said, "Christian." I
said, "Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I
said, "Me too! Are you episcopalian or baptist?" He said, "Baptist!" I said,
"Wow! Me too! Are you baptist church of god or baptist church of the lord?"
He said, "Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you original baptist
church of god, or are you reformed baptist church of god?" He said, "Reformed
baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you reformed baptist church of
god, reformation of 1879, or reformed baptist church of god, reformation of
1915?" He said, "Reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!" I
said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off. -- Emo Phillips
