I'd like theists to read this. Just to "get" why we are the way we are.
I won't post an opinion, nothing derogatory. Just the facts.
If anyone disagrees, tell us why.
[EDITED] As skeptics, (of which atheism is a subset) Thanks guys...my bad.
Firstly, this is an extrapolation from another post which had me thinking.
For the sake of this post, we won't even bring any negativity, either real or perceived, which has come about from belief in "any" God.
As atheists we consider the following:
Antivaxxers
Flatearthers
Mormons
Scientologists
Palm reading
Astrology
Divine miracles (as described in the holy books)
Supernatural (as described in the holy books)
all as equals. They share exactly the same lowest common denominator. Namely 0% proof.
Obviously, if we aren't going to use the word proof in the scientific sense, then why even bother discussing the validity of anything :dunno
Theists, please understand that as people who are guided by "facts" (and so are all of you with every other aspect of your lives),
We atheists really cannot differentiate between all the woo above. (from a scientific and logical perspective) We don't treat the core proponents of religion any different.
My question is should we?
Or more importantly, could we?
Without making compromises to our thought processes? As we all know, we can't control what we believe.

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
Know God, Know fear.
