Yeah i am sorry guys. I am too stupid to be an athiest.
But i got in a argument with my parents and here are the questions they left me with.
1. What do Atheists Believe in if they dont believe in god?
2. If you say yourself, Then can you control your life and predict yourself since you say you believe in yourself?
They said this to me because they said god knows the future and he knows what will happen. Thats why they asked me this.
I would greatly appreciate answer to these two questions
I am sorry for you guys thinking i am a troll. Since i have been acting that way

Are you aware that, if God (MNQB) knows the future, then we cannot have free will and
neither can God!
Please do not take me as representative of all atheists but I will answer your questions personally.
1) I accept as provisionally true to a very high probability those things that can be shown by objective observation and the rational implications of objective information. Thus I cannot see microbes, but I do perceive enough about them through a microscope to grant them a hign probability of existing. There so far has not been any line of information or inference that leads to any form of god so it would be a mistake, and possibly even a dangerous mistake, for me to believe in a god. If I did have valid information that there was a god, I would be confronted with over ten thousand gods to choose from. Therefore, the odds are strongly against my choosing the right one so I should expect to go to the Hell of the true hod that I failed to pick.
2) As someone else said, I have some confidence in my abilities and my inclinations and my levels of motivation. I also know that, in a pinch, people are generally a lot more capable than they or folks around them think possible.
I also accept my impending demise despite a great deal of empirical data to the contrary.
"Am I dead yet? Nope.
Am I dead yet? Nope.
Am I dead yet? Nope.
Am I dead yet? Nope.
Am I dead yet? Nope.
Am I dead yet? Nope.
Am I dead yet? Nope.
Am I dead yet? Nope.
..."
So far, all of the data points to non-death. We will see soon.
