Why them and not you?

Atheists haven't deeply thought of the following:

1. What makes us who we are
2. What is the mysterious nature of love.
3. What is the language of love
4. What is to be truly valued and have worth.
5. What is free-will
6. What is perception
7. What is justice
8. Most philosophical arguments that assert to prove God haven't been given their due.
9. What is that we appreciate and praise
10. What is reason
11. What is goodness
12. Most of all, what is love.

These questions are essential to humanity.

Religion wise and their hostility towards religion:

1. Emphasize on differences without seeing the underlying mysterious unity of religions in the essential teachings and doctrines of what makes us human.
2. Leadership and the underlying agreement of religions on the characteristics of those worthy of leading us to God.
3. Haven't thought really what the Creator is capable of in proving his religion through literature.
4. Haven't thought of the need to have a rope from God and handhold to hold on to with all the confusing mess of diverging paths and thoughts

And I think a lot of religions have come with an agreement to much of these questions and are agreement that eternal divine being is the source of light.

Not that I agree with all these philosophers just because they are atheists.  But there's a whole list of atheist philosophers there who probably spent a spare afternoon or two in deep thought about some of those things on your list such as free will or reason.

Even on this very forum the topic of free will and reason tend to go on and on and on and on and on...........


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
