Default Re: why I\'m an atheist...

The only certain morality must rest on an atheist position.

How so? Is certain morality dependent on atheist belief? Even atheists feel bias against religions issues and their garbled posturing about morality.

Some atheists allow no room for middle ground and allowing that a theist view is necessary for many people to subdue the fears and uncertainities of life.

And for blind theists who are not open to intellectual discourse, which isn't always the case around here, this is a waste of time and effort.

I doubt the existence of an Omega civilization, which is the same thing as the concept of a God, but within the Universe, not without. But I will allow for a non-zero probability that this exists. Why?

Hope. Because if such a civilization exists, then our life is a maturing process in which we weigh the decisions of morality and mortality. Being unable to know either way is truly a difficult issue to ponder.

The O3 god? When such redundant power is held in one entity's hands, do consequences and decisions over a century really matter all that much in the greater picture if you can hold the view that he may exist?

That isn't to mean you should feel free to make immoral and evil decisions. The fact is, either way, you have the leeway to make those decisions.
