Why do I believe? Because I think that in a way, it draws a parallel to the multiverse theory. There have been past Gods/Universes, the world we're currently in has a God of its own, and there'll be more Gods in the future universes.
Of course, I'm aware of the limitations, such as the fact that there's no evidence of this, or heck, even if the multiverse theory exists. Some things just work in mysterious ways, or until we finally know the meaning of life and universe (and no, it's not 42).

Kyoki Chudoku wrote:I am personally irreligious. I disbelieve in any deity because I quite simply have no reason to believe in their existence. If there is a deity, I suspect it is not any we have postulated in all of human history, and I believe that their wishes would impart themselves on us all by being rules of the universe’s mechanisms. Humanity has postulated the existence of deities countless times, in countless different ways. To me, this demonstrates a variety of ways to examine the issue- some of which have been proven totally wrong, others of which have been proven wrong to a great extent, forcing interpretations to be altered to satisfy reality. Basically, I see no reason why there would be one, and so, do not believe in one.

Hmmmm… interesting. Care to elaborate how Buddhism's concept of God works? I heard that calling Buddhism atheistic is misguided, but that's pretty much all I know..

Then it's a lie. Everything Fox News says is a lie.
Even true things once said on Fox News become lies.

Meikaii wrote:My personal conclusion is that the religious suffer from a form of psychosis stemming from the intersection of willful ignorance and curiosity while fueled and cultivated by cognitive dissonance. The form of psychosis varies based on the nurture of an individual but, regardless, it will continue to grow until it collapses in on itself under the weight of objective facts. I see it all the time in Moronism... I mean Mormonism; watching shelves creak, crack, and finally break under the weight of cognitive dissonance. Worse yet, this psychosis is viral. It grows beyond to infect other aspects of a person's being. The Catholic scandal is well known, but did you know that the same and more is being obfuscated by the Mormons? Try punishing the victim for being raped, the rapist is let off completely, sometimes with honors, and the local police are complicit in the coverup if not completely removed from the situation by the Church's need to cover it all up and project a good image. The religious tend to be the ones most against civil rights, progress, cooperation, and intelligence, yet all of this is for the betterment of all. The psychosis distorts an individuals ability to think rationally and see genuine truth, even as it stares them in the face. Honestly, I pity them, most of them indoctrinated when they can barely string together a cogent question about what they are being taught, laying a foundation for further ignorance and ass-backwards thoughts, often to the detriment of themselves and others.
