How atheists are portrayed by Churches.

[providencecrow]

I do know one thing is that people need something to believe in and if it is God or the big Bang then to each their own.

Actually I don't need to believe in anything. If something came out tomorrow totally disproving the big bang then as long as there is evidence to prove it that's all that is needed. It doesn't really matter where we came from or what happens after death, you're here now and that's the important part. Worrying too much about either is just a waste of time in my opinion. I just take the evidence as it comes about and use that as the grand explanation of the universe.

I think the main problem is most people aren't comfortable with "I don't know" as an answer to a lot of things. I know plenty of christians who believe in the big bang and what have you but instead of just answering "I don't know" to what came before the big bang they just refer to "Well that was god, the big bang was his creation". I guess i just dont understand how it's not viable to use "I don't know" as an answer just because we have not been able to figure it out yet, and instead need to fill in the blanks with some deity.
