"I always liked Sam Harris's idea that atheism was kind of an empty word (at least 'weak' atheism) because lacking a belief in god doesn't describe any beliefs you hold. We don't need a word for 'non-astrologers'. However, if over 90% of the world's population did believe in astrology coming up with a word as vilified and distorted as it is might be a good way to keep track of our rational friends out there!"

"Mr. Yank, I found that u r an atheist? Is that correct? I just thought that being an atheist is very stupid.. Like, I've been one and I found it very unrewarding... I've read Richard Dawkins book and i'm totally agree with him... Yes, the truth does lie in atheism.. But, then wut 'bout well-being?? Our live is not all about truth, but about our well-being too.. We like to eat nice food, socialize with friends, etc.. With believing in god, we can prolong our life.. By praying, it have the same effect of meditating which can reduce stress.. By believing in god, it can help to induce some kind of self-fulfilling prophecy which help u to get wut u want.. Haha... So, its very beneficial to be religious... Even though its not the truth.....
Anyway, we can't prove that God exist.... I know that.....
But, I still can't find a proof that God DOESN'T exist....."
