You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Fair enough. I misunderstood. You said you were an atheist and, then you went on to say notthing changed until you petitioned god. I didn't realize that there was a gap of time inbetween.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I'm going to retire from this thread as this will be my last post.

There's just too much stupid in here to respond to. Have your Authentication Stamps available for scrutiny christards. We only want to hear from the "True Christians."

Are most atheists bigoted? Or are you just outside the mainstream?

Sorry, are most atheists-in-practice (which includes atheist-in-belief) bigoted? Or are you just outside the mainstream?

I can't speak for anyone but myself and only a fool would ask such a question and expect a legitimate answer. Are you a christard? I was addressing the christards ... as we have many here.

I prefer facts and reality to imagination.

Einstein had to imagine his theory of relativity before anyone believed it was real. Proponents of string theory are now imagining something else.

How dare you even compare Einstein with fairy believers imagining an afterlife based on zero reasoning.

I can't speak for other atheists because we're not all sheep you see - but yes I'm bigoted and hate you based on that bigotry.

Well, that and the fact that you believe in fairies.

Will that do?
