To point out that western atheists have the same delusion as the theists.
- The delusion that the Universe exists in a physical state... agreed, most people share this.... and I guess most animals on Earth.
- The delusion that the Universe had a beginning... theists tend to claim goddidit, but then fail to provide an origin for this god thing. Atheists tend to claim that the known Universe started with the BigBang... what was there before? We don't know.
And what's the difference between western atheists and other atheists?
