My view and reasons for them. Atheist and Christians welcome here. (short)

[Mister Agenda]

Why do people who don't know much about atheists so often tell us where our position comes from instead of asking us?

And to paraphrase The Incredibles, if everything is miraculous, nothing is.

People probably try and explain what motivates and atheist without asking them because people generally don't know/aren't honest about their motivations.

I find that it's a good bet that someone who presumes ignorance and dishonesty in others is one or both of those themselves. And you wonder why people here react to you the way you complain about? You couldn't think of a reason that didn't make you sound like less of a dick?

If everything is dark matter, nothing is.

Not everything is dark matter, so there's that. Did that make some kind of sense in your head?

Well, it doesn't seem reasonably for there to be a thing called an atheist either like we talked about before, but the fact there is a big up and all about atheism means it does impact how people see the world. IME, what atheism leads to is thinking they can rationally change what they believe, and I don't think I believe that for a second.

I was a devout Pentecostal, spoke in tongues, went to church three times a week, prayed a LOT, and read the Bible cover-to-cover twice. And now I'm a rational skeptic, a humanist, and I suppose an existentialist. The relevance of what you believe regarding how people can change to how they actually change is clearly zero.
