How exactly are we wrong? And why is this question in the LGBT section?

I don't always have to prove anything, I believe what I believe, I don't care if you think I'm wrong. Why do religious groups "always" believe Jesus is Caucasian? Don't you get tired of being wrong? The Bible clearly hints otherwise. ** brass and wooly hair doesn't sound 100% Caucasian. At then end of the day it doesn't matter to me I have other things to think about. How about breakfast? I'm hungry

Nice generalization. Being an atheist doesn't mean you have something to prove and atheists don't think that we're wrong.

Here's the thing. I don't believe in ghosts. Now I know that there are thousands of people out there who do believe in ghosts, but why do I care? Since I know that ghosts don't exist, I do not need to make it an ambition of mine to deny their believing in them. I don't need a t shirt that proclaims 'there are no ghosts'. I certainly do not need a national organization to further my belief of there being no ghosts. If it doesn't exist, then I just ignore it.
Some people believe in God, including me. It does not bother me that some of you don't. It is my belief. However, the interesting question is why atheists feel that it is so important to rebuke my belief. If you don't believe, fine. But if you truly believe that there is no God, then you shouldn't get so up in arms trying to fight other peoples belief. If He truly doesn't exist, then it would mean nothing to you. You cannot protest something that does not exist. Yet you protest. Usually vehemently. The atheists that I know make it a point to loudly protest their disbelief. They wear t shirts proclaiming their belief in nothing. Isn't that silly. The truth is that deep down they have some belief. They are desperately trying to deny the existence of something they know they should believe in.
If I started a church that worshipped the dolphin shaped alien who transported us to this planet from some far away galaxy, started having services on Wednesdays, got up some followers who donated money to support the church, and proclaimed our belief what would happen? People would think we were silly. They would go about their everyday lives without giving us a second thought since they know that dolphin shaped aliens do not exist. Yet when we have a church that says there is a God who put us here, some people have to loudly and pointlessly deny His existence. I ask you again, why protest something that does not exist?
Do I have answers to all the inane questions that an atheist can come up with? NO. I don't claim to know everything. But atheists don't have definitive answers for their belief in evolution either. If they claim to, then they do not understand the very science they base their life in. Sciences change on a daily basis. The theories, yes they are theories, on evolution are changed every time a new discovery is made. Worse, it changes when they discover that a theoretical basis of one of their beliefs is disproved. They simply change the theory and embrace a new "truth". Do humans evolve? Yes. We no longer need a thick layer of hair to keep us warm since we keep ourselves warm now with artificial heat. I do not question evolution, but do not think that it is a question of evolution or creationism. There are too many things that are disproved, that yesterday was a certainty, for me to abandon my belief to embrace another. Atheists say "prove God exists". and then they adamantly fight against belief with the logic that if you cannot prove it exists, then it doesn't.
As an atheist, I would like for you to answer something. Why are humans the only creature on earth with our reasoning capabilities? Why are we so different from every other organism?
Now for the really interesting question. Where did the universe come from. Where did the first atom that supposedly caused all of the millions of interactions that created our world and us? If you say that it brought itself into existence, that is illogical. Something that does not exist has not way of starting to exist. If there is nothing it stays nothing. If you say it was always here, then it is infinitely old. Big problem here for all you science guys and gals. If it is infinitely old, then it has run out of energy. Read the second law of thermodynamics. By saying that something sprang into existence from nothing is what Christians say too. Atheists claim it is matter, with no proof what so ever. Christians say it is God. Both are placing faith into believing that something started what we have now. Atheists have no more proof in the beginning of matter as Christians do.
I like this line from a movie but I don't remember the title. The devil's greatest trick was convincing you that he does not exist.
God bless and good night.

We don't want to prove ourselves, we know we exist. We want you to provide evidence that your god or gods exist. It's been four thousand years and we're still waiting.

Silly Christian, you posted this in the section for WOMEN WHO ARE TRYING TO CONCEIVE. That's right, were having lots of sex around here.

No, because I do not care about converting anyone. Christians on the other hand will always have to prove themselves because their churches rely on the income. It really is not hard to figure out people.
