agnosticism makes more sense than atheism. as you said its silly to believe in things without evidence. so why believe that god definitely doesn't exist?

Does the prospect of there being nothing after death scare you?

A popular breakfast in America is sweet pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup, and bacon and scrambled eggs, all in one.

What are your thoughts on this, and how would you analytically compare its popularity to the Twilight saga in terms of its artistic connections to contemporary Portuguese architecture?

But why would you believe something if there is no evidence for it?

I am an atheist and i understand that there is a small chance that god exists. However, it doesn't mean that the chances are 50/50. Natural selection provides a clear alternative to ID which has more evidence (fossil record showing small changes leading to modern day life). The Big Bang provides an alternative to creationism with more evidence (cosmic microwave background radiation). There is a more rational explanation with more evidence for almost all hypothesises that the bible presents. Therefore the nalance of probability lies with atheism as there is little evidence for any predictions that come from the bible. Fruthermore if creationism, ID and other predictions from the bible can be countered, it is unlikely that other predictions, like god, are true. This is why I am an atheist

agnosticism isn't belief in God, agnosticism is not sticking with either side. you are right in asking "why would you believe something if there is no evidence for it?". Your question can be asked in two ways:

"why would you believe there is a God if there is no evidence to show it?"
"why would you believe there is no God if there is no evidence to prove it?"

To PROVE there is no God, you would have to DISPROVE the existence of God. I'm not arguing for religion, I'm arguing for scientific methods.

The common American breakfast of pancakes, blueberries, maple syrup, bacon and scrambled eggs: how would you compare it to the Twilight Saga, from an architectural point of view, specifically, contemporary architecture found in, or originating from, Portugal?

Not sure how else to put it, it's a fairly straight forward question, and you did say "Ask Me Anything". So there you go. I asked, now you answer.

I already proved there was no God.

I hosted a pub crawl for gods. Nobody showed up. Religion = Solved.

Yes, but there is no evidence that God doesn't exist either?

However unlikely the existence of a God may be, Agnosticism is the way to go

That depends. What does agnosticism mean to you? How would you define it?

I would define it as a belief in facts and evidence. There is no evidence that God exists, but there is also no evidence that God doesn't exist - therefore, why would one believe in either? Agnosticism takes the middle-ground and acknowledges both possibilities.

Atheism is much like faith in that, people declare something to not exist, even though there is no proof for it, so it's clearly inferior.
