Atheism is Indeed A Civil Rights Issue

The bible is like the "Boy who cried wolf." Making faulty scientific assumptions in respect to well backed concurrent theorys (i.e. Sun orbits the earth vs. Copernicus' theory, Creationism vs. Darwinism). How can I believe there is an afterlife now or other key points of religion? Just because someone told me to believe it?

Point to me where the Bible says the Sun revolves around the Earth. Also, the Creation story is not interpreted literally (as in God created everything in 6 24-hour days) except by fundamentalists.

To reasoning about these points I have to admit I can't think up a super credible argument. I am merely 16 and haven't really accomplished much on this subject. My argument is weak I have to admit, but I still think it will stand better than any religious theory.

And your hypothesis is... let me keep reading first.

I have to start with the idea of a soul I guess. Now I am not big into theology, but essentially the soul is what ascends to heaven/hell or whatever you believe in. I see our "soul" merely as our complex bodys. The electrical pulses that control our whole bodys. That is how we feel and think is through our nervous system. Not a soul. The nervous system dies with the body, plain and simple. So what is not to say we just die? Seems completely logical to me. We have just seemed to over glorify ourselves due to our possible luck with these organic compunds we are made of.

Okay, so you believe that human consciousness is just electric signals. IMHO, that would be like stating chocolate cake is just a smattering of atoms in groups called molecules. True, but there are definitely more aspects to it.
