"Basically, the answer to your question is that the unbeliever/atheist put themselves in a position of superiority and think they get to call the shots. They do not realize that they do not have that right nor authority."

Basically, the answer to your question is that the atheist thinks and reasons, no longer running on the reptilian portion of the brain for the best thoughts. The cool thing about it? The atheist gets a continuous kick out of imperious dumbfuck fairytale whisperers suggesting that there is anything out there listening.
