Atheists & Agnostics

I also keep in mind that deities are what the human race cling to when faced with phenomena they can’t understand or explain. The original storytellers of the Christian Bible were trying to figure out where the sun goes at night and where rain comes from. The first, primitive scientific explanations of these things were considered heresy, until the evidence became so overwhelming that even the zealots couldn’t deny it. That cycle continued throughout recorded history and to this day. Lather, rinse, repeat:

Our position in the solar system
The stars as other suns
The creation and age of the Earth
The origins of our species
Evolution
Heterosexuality being one area on a larger spectrum

Also, humans have worshipped countless deities throughout known history. Are we certain that ours is the real one? If you believe in eternal reward and punishment, your odds are better buying a lottery ticket.

Again, a divine being is within the realm of possibility. Do we have sound reason to believe in one, or are we still just grasping to understand the yet inexplicable?
