I know you like to tell yourself that atheists believe in nothing. (Plus a whole lot of luck and chance while negating anything they can;t see, and touch and feel)))
It's a straw man that comforts you. But those words are very unlikely to actually sting many atheists. This is because they know that it is not true, you simply wish it to be true. (((By their own words they speak of their religious belief in only what the governments tell them, at least the majority on this site, so espouse and love their religious god called their government)))
Atheists don't believe in fairy tales. (((Yet swallow hook, line and sinker every anti-conspiracy tale they are told and teach others to not be able to discern the lies they are fed)))) We do however believe in the real universe. (Ahh you speak for all athiests, I thought they were indepandant thinkers. yet as you admit they are iniform in denying everything and believing the same doctrine of nothingness and NO God, or any being superior to themselves.))) I believe in my wife and son, my family and friends. (((And yet nothing about the true invisable realm that science knows about. Do you use a radio, a T.V. a cell phone... so you see you do believe in the invisable as you see the results))))
I believe in making the world just a little bit better through my brief presence even if that just means instilling love and compassion in my son and making the people I know feel that their lives were better for having known me. (((Good for you, now you are talking and speraking about love. Good on ya... Just drop your religious belief system in nothing ness and going no where-ness)))
I believe that the human species has a shot at long term evolution if we can mature socially. (((You mean instant change not change over billions and trillions of years of random luck and chance mutations. Be consistent Foster, your statement is not consistent at all, it is by Christian CHOICE that the world can get better, by people choosing to show love and give love, not by waiting around for the non existant God of evolution to deliver us. We can;t wait millions of years for a beneficial mutation change and changes.))))
You claim all of this is "nothing". (((No your love part was a good start for a true religion... keep going with that thought))))
Yet if I were to believe in an undetectable, perfect, all powerful, all knowing being who none the less makes things that don't do what he intends thus becoming enraged, and intervenes in our lives in a manner indistinguishable from random chance that, to you, would be "something".
(((Nah He only allows choice and allows people to choose and hopes they choose wisely and only intervenes AFTERwards or when they have finnally chosen and have made up their minds against love. But if you are for love and caring and respect, Foster, you are on the right side and finnally have chosen wisely and from love can find a strong foundation.
