  1. I'm starting to lean more and more to the Gnostic atheist stance instead of the agnostic atheist stance I had before. I didn't want to do so on the premise of "how can you truly know for sure? It's downright pompous to say so," but as science advances more and more (particularly in the fields of evolution, cosmology, and abiogenesis), the need for gods and magic shrink considerably and it shows how obvious religion is man made. Ignorance, a need to have a purpose in life, and the feeling of justice for the evil ones in life and rewards for the good (aka the "just world hypothesis") are pretty much why people believe in gods, magic and the supernatural.

    You guys can watch these two video series for a better understanding:

    My mother carted us children off to church every Sunday. My father never came, claiming that it wasn't his denomination. But he had a book in his library, titled something like Lectures of Colonel Robert Ingersoll that I used to sneak a peek at.

    The Colonel was a nineteenth-century atheist who toured the US preaching the absurdity of the Bible. Here is a Gutenberg URL: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=robert+ingersoll&go=Go
    One Sunday morning my mother said, "Get up, time to go to church," to which I replied, "I'm not going to church anymore." "Why not?" "Because I don't believe it." "Since when didn't you believe." "I've never believed it."

    Never went to church again and it was never mentioned again, ever.

    But it took a long time to really believe that there is no such thing as God.
