Why I Am An Atheist

An explanation of how I came to be a physicalist, and a response to several theistic assumptions about atheism, including those by VenomFangX.
I recognize that some of the concepts presented in this video may be difficult to comprehend, as they are based on my personal experiences and philosophical beliefs. If you find them difficult to understand, feel free to ask me to expand on specific concepts, and I will do my best to explain them as best I can.
Note: This was intended to be a response to VenomFangX's "Why I am not an Atheist" and should be viewed in context of that; however, it seems VFX has declined to allow it to be posted. When all else fails, censor.

@cminiear first of as your reply to me is concerned, show me this proof of your infinite god. Again you can't do your argument has no bearing. Secondly we have evidence if milty universes and though the laws of our universe apply to us here, we have no idea if laws of other universes. Once again WE HAVE NO IDEA! And for anyone to claim they do because of a "god" is pure ignorance and arrogance.

@cchristiansen1985 God always existed. I know its hard to grasp but God's ways are higher than ours. If he has the power to create the Universe Then he has the power to be infinate. We cant grasp it only because we are finate. Did you know that the word Universe is broken down this way?.....Uni-single, and Verse-spoken sentence. God was known to have spoken the world into existence

[cminiear]

if everything is created from matter, and the law of matter says that it cannot be created or destroyed where did the matter come from?

[cchristiansen1985]

I did want to add this question to all the "believers". If god created all, who created god? And of you say he created himself, then wouldn't that be contrary in the same means as the big bang theory?

[cchristiansen1985]

Who is to say atheists believe in the big bang theory? Where does this notion come from? There are many theories (including a higher power). Most atheists, if asked about the origin of life, would say I DON'T KNOW. What is out that theists can understand about that. Only your complete arrogance could lead you to BLINDLY believe in a magical being without any solid proof. Faith is not proof. Look up faith in the dictionary. "the belief in something without any proof."

@PkerOfThePures2699 Likewise is you buy a cookie jar, cookies won't just appear without some outside force acting on it and placing the cookies there. If God created the world and universe via the big bang then that fine. I just don't see who or what caused this "magical" event known as the big bang without some superior being
