Seems like there's extremists on both sides, Atheists that will argue with priests and priests who will argue back. They're both fucking crazy Grin

Atheists use facts. Theists use beliefs. Only one is crazy, and you are either one or the other! Smiley

Where do you find atheists? Where do you find theists? In the same places - on the job, driving cars and trucks etc., at school, in the libraries, in the shopping centers, at the movie theaters. There are even a few atheists in churches on Sunday for one reason or another.

The point? Atheists and theists use the same things. The only difference is their focus.

Every person had their own "god" inside their own mind. (Yes, you could claim there are over seven billion gods in the world.) Atheists call it our consciousness. However, most theists are vain and believe their god can influence things outside of their own mind. That's where the conflict comes in - with atheists and with each other. Theists can't even decide on what heaven would be like, because each one has people they do and don't want there. So obviously heaven exists just within your mind as well.

The point is, both atheists and theists don't know for a fact that God exists or doesn't exist, or that God can or can't affect things outside or inside the minds of any people. Their differing focus is in how they believe, making atheism a religion just like theists have their religions.

Deciding on what Heaven is like or is not like is simply a slightly greater focus on an opinion that Heaven does exist, while others are of the opinion that Heaven does not exist.

As an atheist I know your god is limited to your brain, so it doesn't bother me what you believe. I don't hate religion, but I do feel sorry for their brainwashed cult members, and it does bother me when they try and push their ignorance on other people.

Here's a hint to Theists: The majority of people in the world do not believe what you believe! Take the hint!

As a thinking, reasoning person, it is easy to see that proof for or against the existence of God is a difficult thing to find. And understanding this proves that atheism is at least near religion, if not in fact religion. However, I do respect the atheist's right to his/her beliefs.
