Anyways, I want to hear others opinions on facts that God either does or doesn't exist. I'm having a tough time dealing with my girlfriends' Catholic mother (Bible Thumper).
I believe myself to be an Atheist, one who denies the existence of (a) God. The evidence I have to support my believe is science, although we only prove science wrong when we find results from an experiment that counter there previous results. My high school biology teacher was also an Atheist. He stated numerous facts* that involved biology that prove that there wasn't (a) God. I myself like to prove things using science rather than blindly believing in something. The fact that evolution proves that either God was being funny when he put certain body parts together, or that evolution of organisms is true, disproving God.

I think I've heard just about every possible argument a religious person could make. I've heard everything from "The events in the Bible have been proven correct up to Revelation via archaeology and prophecy." to "Did you know that archeologists dug miles into the center of the Earth and heard human screams?" (Website)
I personally think that it's a bunch of bullsh*t. I've gone to mass with my girlfriend and her parents every Saturday for the past two months. Everything that goes on during mass seems silly to me. To me, it's just a bunch of people gathered in a building, singing, preaching, and eating bad tasting crackers. Now I don't mean to offend anybody, and that was not my intentions. I was just merely stating how I saw going to mass was.
I feel like I'm independent at this point. Like, if proven wrong I'll accept it. I'm not hell-bent (no pun intended) against any particular religion. I just feel that the lack of physical evidence leaves me with a lot of reasonable doubt.
*Some of the numerous biological facts he stated that disproved God using evolution.
