Thanks guys for considering this random thought of value to your time ....
I was wondering that.... what the majority of atheist have in common is the fact that they are of the "scientific community" if one would like to put that term / label to atheists. And so that the majority of atheists are very interested in the cosmos and "just WTF is 'Out there' and how awsome it all is just because it is" no goddidit; no nothing, but looking through telescopes and marveling at what is seen and wondering how the fuck it all works.
With recent convos (blis et al) it got me thinking as to what it is that is "In Common" with atheists other than the non-belief in god/s. The fact that we can accept in our minds that there is a possibility that 'reality' is so fucking huge and theists are incapable of this mind ability is what I am looking for.
[History: so many conversations with xtians and others over a lifetime usually end up with ..."Oh no!! I can't accept that the universe is SO FUCKING BIG and I am so fucking small" So just what is it with atheists who are more than comfortable with this concept. To the point that they are ellated when new dicoveries are found (either in the very very small or the very very big)]
