SaraJane, interesting question But I think it is more interesting in the way that you have asked it - ie. how come you choose not to believe in God?

I don't think you can "choose" a belief per se, I don't choose NOT to believe, I just don't believe. The whole God concept just doesn't strike a chord with me. Put it another way, did you choose to believe in God or do you just believe?

I have been christened and confirmed and been to a religious school but at the end of all that it wasn't something that I could honestly say I believed in. Personally I feel that I am a good person, I have a high moral code and have values that I believe in and live by. I am compassionate, caring and do things for people and other living things. I respect the earth and try to do my bit in keeping it alive. I don't think I am missing anything in my life by not believing in a God.
