My parents were never all that religious, but they still believed in God. They never took me to church or made me pray before I ate or read the Bible everyday. I think that's why it was weird when I was introduced to God at nine years old, which is actually quite late. I thought everything they said was bogus and it made no sense to me. I remember being little and someone tell me, "Unicorns don't exist," and when I asked why, they told me, "Well, have you seen one?" I've never seen God in my entire life. I've never heard his voice. I've never felt the "Holy Spirit" in me when I went to Church. But yet, I must believe. I must never ask questions, but to only "believe", they always say. I just need to have faith. What's up with that? I feel really bad when I'm around my family because they're all the same, they're Christians, and I'm so ashamed of myself because I'm the only one who actually believes in Science.

    I've been here too long. I get so bored of the same questions I just can't be bothered to recycle the same response over and over. Sorry. Read these stories.

    You ever been on the internet? Of course it's normal not to believe in God. There are plenty of atheists out there.

    It is sadly not normal, however much I wish it were. The world will be a better place when it is. Religion is a dangerous, contagious mental illness. The planet will never be safe as long as there are 21st century weapons under the control of 10th century minds.

    You're perfectly normal. There are many people who do not believe in a creator, including me :)

    It is completely normal, and rationally sound.

    You don't believe in God, and that's fine. I do believe in God, and that's fine too.

    I will keep repeating this until both belief and disbelief is considered "normal."

    Because, you know...
    Even though I wear glasses created from science, have an air conditioner created from science, drive a car created from and fueled by science, am on a computer created by science, am on medication created by science and enjoy every advacement that science has to offer me, because I am a Christian, I do not believe in the validity of science.

    *Yawn* I've heard this one before. Normal.

    It's your choice whether you believe in god or not. You shouldn't believe just because many people in your family do...it is your choice, not theirs.

    In your country, it's probably not normal, but it really ought to be. God doesn't exist, and hopefully by the end of the century the majority of people will know that. If the truthfulness of something were determined by how many people believed it, Elvis would be alive and the world would be flat.

    You should stop unwittigly. spreading false messages, through use of religious words. Even if you do not believe in them, they perpetuate religious concepts.
    Unicorns do exist. If you can visit India or Java, you might see one. There are two species that have not yet become extinct, the Indian Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) and the Javan Rhinoceros (R. sondaicus).

      A unicorn is a horse with a horn on it's head, not a fucking rhino.

        Look again. Horses and Rhinoceroses are closely related to one another. They are in the same Order: Perissodactyla, and shared a common ancestor fairly recently, as evolutionary time goes. The legendary unicorn(s) are now extinct, but were still alive when modern humans expanded their range into Eurasia.

          A Rhinoceros and a unicorn are different as only one has fur!

          Just like our usernames are both primus related but ones a song and ones an album.

            What about the Wooly Rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) ?
