Why Don't You Believe In God?

Hi,

I am a Christian, and I was just wondering why the non-believers on this board don't believe. Why don't they?

Any living creature fears death... at least on an instinctual level... That accounts for our self-preservation instincts.

Humans though, hold a special fear of death... we have the mental capacity to wonder about the afterlife... Heaven? Hell? Purgatory? Reincarnation?

All of these (and any religion) could be explained as humanity's desperate need for self-preservation, immortality, in a sense.

I do not fear death, that is why I don't belive in God.
