Atheists also know that the universe wasn't created for them, and that they are just insignificant specks in the grand scheme of things. Atheists are know that life is short, and that there isn't an eternity to do the things they want. So, I contend that atheists are emotionally stronger than theists.

Thoughts?


I hope you don't mind if I do correct your post.  Worship (large)

You say.......Atheists know ..................Atheists know ..............Atheists know .............

I rather would say...............atheists guess.......atheists guess.........atheists guess......

Doesn't this look better and reflect the reality?  Smile

Thoughts?  Rolleyes

I do mind, because opinions formed on the basis of reasons or evidence are not considered guesses. Like many religious people, you want to level the ground of opinion in order to give your own a better face. If you cannot accept the faults in your own opinion, that's nobody's problem but your own. Making distorted claims about the opinions of atheists won't correct that problem. Perhaps the poster is equally exaggerating in the other direction by claiming knowledge, but as we all learned as children, two wrongs don't make a right.

Merriam Webster Wrote:Guess, transitive verb.

1 : to form an opinion of from little or no evidence
2 : ...
3 : to arrive at a correct conclusion about by conjecture, chance, or intuition
