The best opinion in the world is the opinion of oneself, since 50% of my life is about me and the other 50% is about everyone else, it stands to reason. If my Mother stands to self proclaim herself as an atheist, she most defines herself. There many ways to god so God and Gods is just a word and for me it’s a metaphor for a source of good intention and higher energy. Since the odd atheist can be spiritual sided and think there could be an afterlife like my Mother thinks, I understand and so be it. You say a self-proclaimed vegetarian' and still eat steak every day? Wow! What rigid thinking compare to guessing what whole Universe is about. Even Richard Dawkins claim he is deeply religious, but I still don’t understand what the hell that means.
Excuse me; I missed the word among, as in most educated people in the world statement. Maybe I slipped because Atheist still won’t tell me what their down side is.
The reason I said you dislike God is because the vast amount of atheist reject the notion of any kind of God”, as your consistently asked. Theists believe in the existence of a god or gods and opposite of an atheist. The most important thing one atheist learned from experimenting living life for 3 months like he was religious biblical person, he learned how to be more grateful if nothing else in life and to be less pessimistic.
I did not call you names to put you down. it’s not my style, you did put me down. I am just pointing out up side and down sides, I have them, you have them and we all have them. My statement that Atheist have a lame imagination (in general not all) is their down side, it is not saying Atheist lack imagination, God forbid.
There is another contradiction in the logic of atheism, because agnostic neither believes nor disbelieves in a god or religious doctrine. Agnostics assert that it’s impossible for human beings to know anything about how the universe was created and if divine beings exist, I just do not claim to know also for one who claims to know God, the more evasive and elusive God becomes meaning “unknown or unknowable.”.. I find Agnostic more likely to explore Spirituality than Atheist. An Agnostic is the one who is open to the possibility of God existing, but has not yet been convinced of it. In which Atheist imagination is being lame about those kinds of interests..
You said most 'nerds' are fairly likely to be atheists as well, in your experience. I don’t think so because the 3% atheist does not outnumber the 80% God believers nerds and the 10% could be God believers nerds. We know who Politician sides with, they need a high IQ to keep up with all the lawyers and liar going on, most often the best liar get elected.
