As for 'atheists lack imagination', you might want to let Pullman, Pratchett and McEwan in on the secret, they must have missed the memo. Oh and also, don't talk such utter shit.
And if you think atheists not running the world has the slightest thing to do with imagination or lack thereof, I suggest you re-open your history book and check again. Nothing to do with people who don't believe in God being persecuted and often executed for saying things deemed to be heretical, I suppose?
Honestly, people can make threads telling us we're being too hard on people, but why should I have to wade through this sort of shit and not have a go? Link them to a website my balls, they can find it themselves if they want to appear less idiotic.
I have build a few natural history display in a few museum around the world and been to Russia to teach my art form.
'Holy Russia', with such a long history of Orthodox Christianity, was in a very short period of time turned by the Bolsheviks into 'the first atheist state in the world'? I often defend atheist when religion makes false claims that atheists have killed more people in human history, which is non sense because Religion has had 5000 years of killing worldwide and only 3% atheist lived today.
Imagination is the living agent of all human perception with both intent and effort. Your mind first produce a visual imagine, shortly afterward follows words . Imagination asks desired questions, it creates and grows with exercise. Few people have the imagination for reality and logic and reason can die off quickly. Your knowledge has limits but your imagination dose not. Reason respects differences, and imagination has a perceptible likeness of things. , Imagination is the eye of the soul and the voice of the daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. When he dares to go beyond his wildest dreams, he can imagine everything.
I can prove most everything I know was once imagined, it’s created in beauty, justice, and happiness. It’s the main source of value in the new economy and the supreme master of art as of life.
When your will and the imagination are in conflict, it is the imagination that always wins.
Anyone is enough of an artist to draw from their imagination as for it’s the basic health of every man.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
The superior reasoning power...revealed in the
incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God."
