and that it leaves me wide open for all possibilites and al truths

(pagan atheist)

your welcome ;-)

I like my beliefs because it means I dint have to worry about an afterlife or anything. As an atheist I get to spend all of my time in the here and now, and not worrying about an afterlife. This leaves me free to do what's really important: to have fun. Also, good thinking asking about what we like best about our own beliefs and not what we think is wrong about other people's beliefs. if you hadnt put that I would have said that what i like best is that i'm not wrong.

The best things about my beliefs are that I'm not compelled to make other people believe them and they don't include the idea that anyone who doesn't share them will suffer forever.

The best part for me is that it is mine. I like a belief that is unique not what someone tells me to believe or that I am supposed to believe

Best about atheism..hm, everything

Allows you to question everything and for an OWN view..not limited to every religion out there

Freedom.

Yesterday my husband and I drove a deaf friend to an assembly that had been organized just for deaf people. We had the same assembly last week. Present were people from Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Slovenia and Poland. It was amazing to see more than a hundred people who have learnt sign language helping those who were deaf to learn the Bible. Those who have learnt sign language for this part of the world - ex-yugoslavia - were also from mixed nations. Some who hear, that have learned sign language, had travelled 11 hours to get there and had to travel back after a whole day of translating to be present at their own assembly for those who hear today.

This isn't anything unusual for our organization, these kind of assemblies go on often all over the world. What was special about this one was that it was international and made up of those who just 15 years ago were willing to kill each other in the war here and of those who are handicapped in society.

I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses and our beliefs are:

1. Base our teachings solely on the Bible.

2. Those who truly love God worship only Jehovah God and make his name known. Jesus declared: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Matthew 4:10)

3. God’s people show genuine, unselfish love for one another. Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) We aren't involved in any wars - we don't kill.

4. Jesus Christ is God’s means of salvation.

5. To be no part of the world. What does this mean? When on trial before the Roman ruler Pilate, Jesus said: “My kingdom is no part of this world.” (John 18:36) No matter what country they live in, Jesus’ true followers are subjects of his heavenly Kingdom and thus maintain strict neutrality in the world’s political affairs. They take no part in its conflicts. However, Jehovah’s worshipers do not interfere with what others choose to do about joining a political party, running for office, or voting. And while God’s true worshipers are neutral regarding politics, they are law-abiding. Why? Because God’s Word commands them to “be in subjection” to the governmental “superior authorities.” (Romans 13:1) Where there is a conflict between what God requires and what a political system requires, true worshipers follow the example of the apostles, who said: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.”—Acts 5:29; Mark 12:17.

6. Preaching that God’s Kingdom is mankind’s only hope. Jesus foretold: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14) Instead of encouraging people to look to human rulers to solve their problems, true followers of Jesus Christ proclaim God’s heavenly Kingdom as the only hope for mankind. (Psalm 146:3) Jesus taught us to pray for that perfect government when he said: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.” (Matthew 6:10) God’s Word foretold that this heavenly Kingdom “will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms [now existing], and it itself will stand to times indefinite.”—Daniel 2:44.

I wasn't raised as a Jehovah's Witness, I have been part of other religious groups. These beliefs above are now a part of my life and have made me a much better person, I'm also at peace with myself and the world around me. I used to refuse to watch the news because it was so distressing how mankind is ruining itself but now I know why and that there is hope for the future.

Thank you for asking. I wouldn't want to 'sell' my religion but I'd recommend all to look into these points above and study for themselves the Bible in an objective way - separating doctrine of man from this book. That's why our beliefs are based solely on what the Bible teaches as a whole.

Christendom’s religion incurred a heavy bloodguilt by persecuting and killing those who translated, read, or even owned the Bible

That religion is an eminently dispensable commodity for human beings.

Probably that I don't judge other people that I know nothing about based on a fiction.
