Good thread idea and welcome! Thanks!

Please define this term: God No.

Of course, what I mean is that everyone has a different definition of "God." Regardless of whether a religion attempts to define its god or gods, followers of those religions interpret such definitions subjectively. I don't believe in any sort of religious god, which is why there's a "theism" in my atheism. But some people try to argue that if God is "everything," then I must believe in God, because, obviously, I believe in everything (as in, I believe everything that exists exists). But that's just playing with words. Carl Sagan says it well:

The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous. But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe, then clearly there is such a God. This God is emotionally unsatisfying... it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.

What, according to your beliefs, is consciousness? For humans, synaptic firings in a pattern that allows for subjective perception and analysis.

Where did you find (and what is) the evidence for you, that there is no God? For me, it wasn't finding evidence. It was finding the lack of evidence. I think atheism is the neutral state, and all I did was shed what I consider mistaken belief.
