I am curious as to know what I am so afraid of. In fact, I believe theists are the frightened ones. I honestly think religion breeds through fear of death.

It always comes back to death. It always returns to some fantasy afterlife, which I think highlights the fear they have. I mean, if they weren't afraid.....why mention it so much? Why so assuredly if you know you could be wrong?

Quote:However, from what I have seen from most atheists, it is about a fear of the unknown.
Total nonsense.
For me the unknown is very interesting. It sparks my curiosity. Besides, I'm sure when it comes to fear, it goes the other way. The religious and the unavoidable death and oblivion. Some can't stand the idea of going to sleep and never waking up again.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
