I want to tease my readers with a blog that I have in mind. This is just an introduction.
I've been an atheist for years now; and I have heard christians blabber all day about their god, and I found something funny; their perceptions on who and what god is is quite different. The funnier part is that, when I get to have a debate with them and their on the losing side, they try to turn the table by acting on the notion that god is a personal deity, that they can't explain why, how, etc, and just say that "I just do, along with all other christians".
If god then, is something personal; this means that god is created in and by your mind alone and that what he is and isn't depends solely in what you think he is. This leads me to conclude, then, that you yourself is god. That you yourself is a master of your own life for you yourself invented god. Kudos to yourself for creating such a wonderful invention.

The Belief System
Men are born to do their best to give a reason for everything, not putting in mind whether or not it conforms to logic or the facts. Men are born to be afraid of the unknown, and to follow where they think is safe.
From that line alone, you will know that if you deprive man from an explanation, he will resort to theories that doesn't conform to reason; just for the sake of satisfying their need for an explanation. A day ago, I watched the movie Agora, which speaks about those christians whom I despise most. Their argument was that:
Well, we can't blame them, they lacked the knowledge; they know not a thing about the gravity, much more the advanced laws of physics. Why then we as civilized men, still hold to their argument? The empirical data that we have gathered and learned obviously contradicts with their arguments, which follows that the theory that they made out of that argument is false -- in other words, god is dis-proven.
The second belief system that I'm going to talk to you about is the part where men are too afraid to face what is not known to them and they do their best to stick to what is good. The belief system of christianity basically works like this; men are too afraid to live a life without their 'fatherly-omnipotent-they-say-being'; men can't do about their problems without seeking advice from a silent being; men can't withstand problems too great for them; so they resort to their only possible defense, religion.
The fact that man can't fully explain everything doesn't logically lead us that a supernatural being does exist, it just means that we lack information; if, then, that our stupidity is our basis for god, god may be whimsical then?
A christian may be thinking this line while reading this: "But our feelings, you can't understand it". Are you telling me, then, that our feelings are your basis for your argument; if so, then what if I'll tell you that god is nothing but a product of stupid-man's ideas, does that make me any more correct than you are?

If the earth was round, why don't the people in the bottom part fall off? If it is moving, why are we not affected?
